November 1, 2026 - Proclaiming the Kingdom with Confidence
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 9:1-9 Matt Nix It’s easy to believe we need more strength, more answers, or more control before we can speak about Jesus with confidence. In Luke 9:1-9, Jesus sends His disciples out with very little so they would learn to trust the authority of the...

October 25, 2026 - The Feet of Jesus
Luke: to the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 8.40-56 Tyler Willis We spend a lot of energy trying to hold ourselves together. Pride tells us to stay standing, keep control, and hide our need. But in Luke 8:40-56, a synagogue ruler and a suffering woman both end up at the feet of Jesus because...

October 18, 2026 - God's Authority Over the Spiritual
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 8:26-39 Jobey McGinty We like to think that if people just saw enough evidence, they would naturally follow Jesus. But in Luke 8:26-39, an entire town witnesses a man freed from years of torment and still asks Jesus to leave. The demons know exactly...
-
October 11, 2026 - God’s Command Over the Storms of Life
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 8.22-25 Jobey McGinty Most of us can accept that Jesus calms storms. What is harder to face is the possibility that the storm itself did not arrive outside His control. In Luke 8:22-25, the disciples panic as the waves close in, but Jesus reveals…

October 4, 2026 - God's True Family
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 8.19-21 Jobey McGinty It’s easy to believe we’re “good with God” because of our background, family, church history, or moral effort. That’s the tension underneath Jesus’ startling words in Luke 8:19-21 when He says His true family is made up of…

September 27, 2026 - God Gave Shepherds
Ephesians 4:12-16 Jobey McGinty We often drift toward two unhealthy instincts with church leadership. Some expect pastors to do all the ministry while everyone else watches. Others have seen leadership abused and assume authority in the church can only lead to control or disappointment. But...
-
September 20, 2026 - Take Care How You Hear
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 8.-18 Ron Ohst It’s possible to hear God’s Word often and still remain unchanged. In Luke 8:4-18, Jesus tells a parable about four kinds of soil to expose four kinds of hearts. Some are hardened by pride. Some appear open but resist surrender when...
-
September 13, 2026 - Blinding Self-Righteousness
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 7:36-50 Jobey McGinty Some sins are obvious. Others hide behind respectability. In Luke 7:36-50, Jesus sits at a Pharisee’s table while a sinful woman weeps at His feet. Simon believes his own morality makes him closer to God, while the woman knows...
-
September 6, 2026 - Stubborn, Picky Excuses
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 7.31-35 Jobey McGinty Some people rejected John the Baptist because he was too intense and restrictive. Others rejected Jesus because He ate and drank with sinners. In Luke 7:31-35, Jesus exposes a deeper issue: stubborn hearts will always find a...
-
August 30, 2026 - You Are God's Workmanship
Ephesians 2.10 Jobey McGinty It’s easy to live like everything depends on us. We try to control the story, prove our worth through work, or panic when life feels uncertain. But Ephesians 2:10 gives a different picture: “We are His workmanship.” The word Paul uses is poeima — God’s poem. Your life...
-
August 23, 2026 - What Were You Looking For?
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 7.24-30 Tyler Willis We often want a faith that feels impressive, certain, or comfortable. In Luke 7:24-30, Jesus asks the crowd a hard question: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see?” John the Baptist had doubts, yet Jesus did not shame...
-
August 16, 2026 - Doubt Your Doubts
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 7.11-23 Jobey McGinty When life doesn’t unfold the way we prayed for, doubt can quickly creep in. John the Baptist knew Jesus was powerful, yet sitting in prison left him wondering if Jesus really was the Messiah after all. In Luke 7:18-23, Jesus...
-
August 9, 2026 - Humble Faith
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 7.1-10 Jobey McGinty It’s possible to know the right things about God and still slowly begin trusting your own goodness more than His grace. In Luke 7:1-10, a Roman centurion with power, money, and influence comes to Jesus with a completely…

August 2, 2026 - Building On The Rock
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 6:46-49 Jobey McGinty It’s possible to say we trust Jesus while building our lives on something else entirely. We can look stable when work is good, relationships feel strong, or life is under control. But storms expose what our foundation really…

July 26, 2026 - The Log and the Speck
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 6:39-45 Jobey McGinty It’s easy to spot what’s wrong in someone else while staying blind to what’s happening in our own heart. Jesus speaks directly to that tension in Luke 6:39-45. He warns that “a blind man” cannot lead another blind man, and He...
-
July 19, 2026 - Do Not Judge
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 6:37-38 Jobey McGinty We can be quick to notice the faults in those around us...even those closest to us. We replay their failures, question their motives, and quietly place ourselves above them. But Jesus exposes something deeper in Luke 6:37-38. A...
-
July 12, 2026 - Love Your Enemies
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 6:27-36 Jobey McGinty When someone wounds us, retaliation feels natural. We want fairness. We want payback. But in Luke 6:27-36, Jesus gives one of His hardest commands: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” He isn’t ignoring evil or...
-
July 5, 2026 - Suffering Well
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 6:12-26 Jobey McGinty Most of us spend our lives trying to avoid suffering. We chase comfort, approval, and control, hoping those things will finally give us peace. But in Luke 6:12-26, Jesus says something surprising: the blessed life is often…

June 28, 2026 - The Lord Of The Sabbath
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 6:1-11 Tyler Willis In Luke 6:1–11 the Pharisees judge Jesus by rules, but He points to a deeper truth: the Sabbath was meant as a gift, not a burden. When Jesus says, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath” , He shows rest stems from relationship...
-
June 21, 2028 - Replacing Legalism
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 5:33-39 Jobey McGinty When faith becomes a checklist, guilt grows and joy shrinks. That tension shows up clearly when the Pharisees question why Jesus’ disciples don’t fast like everyone else. The Pharisees took something God gave as a gift and…

June 14, 2026 - Jesus Saves Those Who are Hated
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 5:27-32 Jobey McGinty Jesus doesn’t keep His distance from the people the world avoids or calls outsiders. In Luke 5, we see Him walk straight toward a hated tax collector named Levi. Levi hasn't cleaned up his life...he hasn't somehow made himself...

June 7, 2026 - Cleansing From Sin
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost Jobey McGinty - Luke 5.12-26 In Luke 5, we see Jesus encounter the ultimate outcasts: a man full of leprosy and a paralyzed man. Rather than becoming contaminated by their uncleanness, Jesus does the unthinkable—He reaches out, touches them, and lets His...
-
May 31, 2026 - The Incomprehensibility of God
Deuteronomy 29:29 Jobey McGinty Sometimes it feels like if we just had enough answers, life would finally make sense. If God would just explain Himself, our pain, or our future, then we could trust Him. The gospel gives a better foundation for trust, however. God has not stayed silent. He has...
-
May 24, 2026 - Called By God
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 5:1-11 Jobey McGinty Jesus meets Peter at work, not after he cleans himself up. When the nets overflow, Peter sees the truth about himself and about Jesus: “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord” (Luke 5:8). But Jesus doesn’t leave. He…

Luke: To the Least, the Last & the Lost - Luke 4.31-44 Jobey McGinty In Luke 4:31–44, the crowds are stunned because Jesus doesn’t just talk about truth—His word carries authority. Demons obey Him. Sickness leaves. Evil recognizes Him, even when people hesitate. Jesus is the Holy One of God who...

May 10, 2026 - Jesus Rejected
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost Tyler Willis In Luke 4:16–30, we see a hometown crowd shift instantly from amazement to fury. While they were initially captivated by Jesus’ words, their hearts hardened when He refused to fit their expectations. By reading Isaiah 61, Jesus declares…

May 3, 2026 - The Temptation of Jesus
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 4.1-15 Jobey McGinty Faith doesn't make our lives easy, or more comfortable. In Luke 4:1–15, we see the truth: Jesus didn't avoid the wilderness; He faced it head-on. Tested while hungry and alone, Jesus resisted Satan by trusting God’s Word. Where…

April 26, 2026 - The Genealogy of Jesus: Why?
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 3.23-38 Jobey McGinty We might think that difficult passages in the Bible—like confusing genealogies or apparent contradictions—undermine its reliability. However, Luke’s record of Jesus’ lineage (Luke 3:23–38) proves the opposite. By tracing Christ...
-
April 19, 2026 - THE FRUIT OF TRUE BAPTISM
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 3.1-22 Jobey McGinty The gospel alternative is not trying harder. It’s trusting the One John points to. John says, “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” (Luke 3:16). Jesus steps into the water, not because He needs repentance, but to...
-
April 12, 2026 - THE BOY WHO IS GOD
Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 2.41-52 Jobey McGinty Many believe faith should make life simple. Clear answers. Easy growth. But Luke shows us a different picture. A young Jesus stays behind in the temple, and even His parents are confused and anxious. Real faith often includes...
-
April 5, 2026 - EASTER: HIDDEN IN CHRIST
Easter - Colossians 3.3, 4 Jobey McGinty The storm is coming for all of us. We all fail God's standard. Romans 3:12 says it plainly: "No one does good. Not even one." The wage of sin is death—judgment we can't escape through effort or goodness. But Jesus didn't just show us the standard. He lived...
-
March 29, 2026 - LOVED IN CHRIST
Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 13:14-16 Jobey McGinty We live in a world that tells us love is earned. That our worth is measured by our work, our fear managed by control, our sin balanced by effort. It sounds right. It feels familiar. But it never brings rest. Hebrews reminds us, “Here…
more -
March 22, 2026 - NO OTHER GOSPEL
Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 13,8-10 Jobey McGinty Sometimes we start to believe that grace needs help. That it's not enough and we need to supplement with our own rule following, etc. Hebrews gently exposes that lie. It reminds us that our hearts are not strengthened by what we do, but...
-
March 15, 2026 - EQUIPPED BY THE TRUE AND BETTER
Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 13:20-25 Tyler Willis We often feel the pressure to hold life together through our own strength — to work harder, try more, and fix ourselves. But Hebrews closes with a benediction that tells a better story. God is the One who brings peace, who raised Jesus...

March 8, 2026 - REMEMBER YOUR LEADERS
Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 13:7, 17-19 Jobey McGinty Many of us carry quiet wounds from church. From leaders we trusted. From people who should have cared for us.

March 1, 2026 - BECAUSE AND THEREFORE...
Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 13:1-6 Jobey McGinty We all feel the pressure to do better—to love more, to get life right—and beneath that pressure sits a quiet fear that everything depends on us.

February 22, 2026 - THE TRUE AND BETTER MT. SINAI
Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 12:18-29 Jobey McGinty We all know the feeling of wanting to draw near to God but feeling unworthy or unsure. Hebrews 12 reminds us that our nearness to God isn’t based on performance or perfection. We haven’t come to Mount Sinai—a place of fear and...

February 15, 2026 - TRUE, GODLY REPENTANCE
Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 12.12-17 Jobey McGinty We all know the tension of wanting real change, but feeling stuck in the same patterns. We tell ourselves that repentance means trying harder, feeling worse, or cleaning ourselves up before God. But Scripture invites us into something...

January 25, 2026 - FAITHFUL TRAINERS
Training for Godliness - Proverbs 27.6 Jobey McGinty In our journey of faith, we often struggle with the idea of training and correction. We may believe that we can grow on our own, without the guidance of others. Yet, the truth is that God designed us for community and mutual support. Proverbs...

December 7, 2025 - ADVENT: BE SLOW TO SPEAK
Behold the True and Better - Luke 1.8-25,56-80 Tyler Willis God’s plan for redemption was not a backup plan but something foretold through the prophets. Even so, Zechariah, a priest who knew the stories of old, still doubted the angel Gabriel’s message that he and Elizabeth would have a son. His...
