Episodes

  1. Luke 12 - What Not To Fear

    Jesus speaks of not fearing death, but instead putting our respect/fear in God. When you realize He is bigger than death itself, it's a little easier to trust Him - Luke 12:1-12.

  2. Luke 11 - Shots Fired

    Jesus doesn't hold back. There is a time for kindness through compassion, and a time for compassion through warning. It may be hard to hear what God is saying, but know it comes from a deep place of love - Luke 11:37-54.

  3. Luke 11 - Sign of Jonah

    People ask Jesus for a sign, but the sign He references they do not or will not recognize - Luke 11:29-36.

  4. Luke 11 - Evil Spirits

    The subject of Jesus and demons is not something Jesus takes lightly... nor should we - Luke 11:14-26.

  5. Luke 11 - Praying with Jesus

    Ever wondered how you should pray? Is there a specific way? Or are there many ways and different forms as it is with our communication with others... Join Pastor Walter and Kiarra as they pause and let Jesus walk with us through the experience of prayer - Luke 11:1-13.

  6. Luke 10 - Martha, Martha, Martha

    Sometimes the very thing we need most is not the thing that comes to our minds first. Thank You Jesus for calling us out ;) - Luke 10:38-42.

  7. Luke 10 - Good Neighbors

    Jesus tells a parable to help us understand that taking care of our neighbors includes those we don't truly see worth taking care of - Luke 10:25-37.

  8. Luke 10 - The Written Importance

    Jesus sends out the 72 and they come back rejoicing. They are in awe of the authority and power they have been granted over the enemy. Jesus, however, is more instrested in something written, that has way more value - Luke 10:1-20.

  9. Luke 9 - The Cost

  12. Luke 9 -Table for 5000

    Jesus, table for 5,000... Jesus? Can you imagine the look on the disciple's faces when Jesus told them to feed 5,000+ people? There's a lesson here for all of us - Luke 9:12-17.

  13. Luke 9 - Sending Out the Twelve

    Jesus sends out the twelve disciples - Luke 9:1-11

  14. Luke 8 - Of Storms and Demons

    Jesus is calm, compassionate, kind, caring... but in these two stories, He invokes fear. How interesting that sometimes the things we don't understand cause great fear, but the things we think we understand are far more dangerous - Luke 8:22-39.

  15. Luke 8 - 12 Years

    12 years young and 12 years old, both come to a head as Jesus moves from place to the next Luke 8:40-56.

  18. Luke 7 - Love and Forgiveness

    Ever feel like someone is mistreating you on purpose? Doesn't feel good does it? Listen to how Jesus confronted someone on their mistreatment and how He handled the situation. Maybe there's something here for each of us - Luke 7:37-50.

  19. Luke 7 - Different Messengers, Same Core Message

  22. Luke 6 - On Judging Others

  23. Luke 6 - Kingdom Life is Uncomfortable

    Looking for comfort, luxury or pursuing ease may seem like the ultimate goal, but Jesus shows us that this isn't true peace. There's more to it - Luke 6:24-36.

  24. Luke 6 - You May Not Realize You’re Blessed

    Jesus tells us we are blessed even when things don't seem that way. Sometimes, pausing with Jesus helps us turn things right-side up - Luke 6:20-23

    Jesus doesn't choose perfect people. How comforting ;) - Luke 6:12-19.

  27. Luke 5 - Sinners Wineskins and Old Clothes

    Jesus is looked down on for eating with Tax Collectors and Sinners. His response may not be what you would expect - Luke 5:27-39.

    A full day in the life of Jesus - Luke 4:31-41

  34. Luke 4 - Jesus' Inauguration

    Jesus quotes Isaiah and introduces His purpose - Luke 4:16-20

  35. Luke 4 - Temptations

    Satan tempts Jesus when He is at His lowest human faculties... but what Satan doesn't realize, is that Jesus has spent 40 days and nights surrendering not to His own power, but His Father's - Luke 4:1-13.

  36. Luke 3 - Geneology

    So many names, so many stories behind each name. This is the geneology of Jesus - Luke 3:23-38

  37. Luke 3 - John and Jesus

    As one ministry begins, another takes a back seat. Come listen to the stories of John and Jesus's transitional moment - Luke 3:18-21.

  38. Luke 3 - John's Words

    John the Baptist does not mince with words. His message comes at a risk of sounding too bold or too crazy. And yet, we know that his whole life has been leading to this. God's message is so good, but it may require sacrifice when it comes to sharing it with others - Luke 3:7-17.

  39. Luke 3_John's Intro

    Pastor Walter and Peter open Luke 3 with a discussion on sacrifice. Interesting how sacrifice becomes synonmous with going deeper in your walk with God.
