Luke 5:12–26 gives us two powerful stories: Both come face to face with Jesus. Both walk away changed. But this passage isn’t just about their healing—it’s about how Jesus wants to meet you in what’s broken: physically, emotionally, relationally, and most importantly, spiritually. Let’s walk through what a healing encounter with Jesus really looks like, and how you can step…
Most of us are familiar with the word disciple. We know Jesus had 12 of them. We know the Great Commission says to “make disciples.” But if someone stopped you in the hallway at church and asked: “Okay, but what does a disciple actually do?” …how would you answer? Luke 5:1–11 gives us a front-row seat to the moment Jesus…
When we talk about spiritual growth, we usually think Bible reading, prayer, church, maybe Christian books or podcasts. We don’t usually think demons. But if we take Jesus seriously, we have to take the spiritual realm seriously too. In Luke 4:31–37, Jesus is teaching in the synagogue when a man with a demonic spirit starts shouting at Him. Jesus rebukes…
Luke 4 gives us a simple but life-changing scene: “They were astonished at his teaching because his message had authority.” (Luke 4:32) Jesus didn’t sound like everyone else. He didn’t hedge, guess, or speculate. He spoke with authority—and it blew people’s minds. For many of us, “authority” doesn’t feel like good news. We naturally push back on rules, boundaries, and…
In Luke 4 we meet Jesus at the start of His public ministry. Up to this point Luke has shown us Christ’s birth, baptism, and temptation—but now we see Him step into the mission He came to fulfill. And it’s here that we learn something vital, especially on Mother’s Day: the most important work any of us can do is…
What Jesus’ Temptation Means for Your Life Right NowLuke 4:1–15 You’ve probably heard the phrase: “Not today, Satan.” Luke 4 gives us the ultimate version of that moment—Jesus face-to-face with the devil in the wilderness. But this scene isn’t just Bible trivia. It’s one of the most important moments in Jesus’ ministry, and it speaks directly into your battles with…
Easter is one of those days where everyone walks in thinking, “I already know this story.”Cross. Tomb. Empty. He is risen. Brunch. But in Luke 24:44–53, Jesus gives us a lens that keeps Easter from becoming just a religious rerun. He reminds His disciples (and us) of something huge: You can take Him at His word. Over and over again,…
Be honest: when you’re reading through Luke and you hit Luke 3:23–38—the genealogy of Jesus—what do you usually do? “As he began his ministry, Jesus was about thirty years old…”skip skip skip “Then Jesus left the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit…” (Luke 4:1) Most of us jump straight over the names.But those names are there on purpose. In this…
Luke only gives us two verses on the baptism of Jesus.No detailed dialogue. No cinematic description of the river. Just this: “When all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. As he was praying, heaven opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a physical appearance like a dove. And a voice came from heaven:‘You are my beloved…
From Luke 3:1–20 Every Christian has a calling: not to be quiet, not to blend into the background, and not to keep our faith tucked away—but to proclaim the goodness of Jesus. Luke 3 introduces us to John the Baptist, a man sent ahead of Jesus to prepare the way. And the same God who sent John to prepare now…
