Series: Luke: the Power and Preaching of Jesus
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 1
Familiarity with Jesus
Familiarity can blind us to who a person is. The people in Jesus’ hometown of Nazareth were skeptical of his claims and felt entitled to his power. Therefore, they missed the opportunity to humbly hear his message and respond in faith.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 2
Miracles That Preach
The miracles of Jesus make a statement about the man. They show us his authority, identity, and mission.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 3
The Call to Discipleship
Jesus calls you to join his team. This call to discipleship is gracious, definite, missional, and sacrificial.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 4
Two Miracles
Jesus is willing and able to cleanse the outcast, and he has the authority to forgive sins.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 5
Scandalous Grace
Jesus drove the Pharisees nuts by showing such great favor to people who were so greatly ill-deserving.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus , Part 6
Sabbath Showdown
The Sabbath showdown of Luke 6 is just one battleground in a war about whether Jesus is subject to our terms for life or whether he is the one who sets them.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 7
The Blessings of Being a Disciple of Jesus
Disciples are those who have been chosen by Jesus and have decided to follow him. The kingdom of God and all its spiritual blessings belong to them, though with it comes persecution.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 8
Kingdom Ethics – Love Your Enemies
Jesus’ command to love our enemies is a personal ethic for persecuted disciples. When we enlarge our frame of reference, we will see that we follow a Savior who exemplified his own command by loving us who were once his enemies.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 9
The Life of Discipleship
The life of discipleship is an examined life, an authentic life, and an enduring life.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 10
Jesus’ Powerful Word to Heal the Sick and Raise the Dead
We are called to humbly believe that Jesus’ omnipotent, unstoppable words of command have authority over sickness and death.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 11
Questioning Jesus
Jesus did not always meet people’s expectations. He brought an unexpected salvation and built an unexpected kingdom.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 12
Jesus, Friend of Sinners
Jesus loves to forgive the sins of those with faith because those who are forgiven much love much.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 13
Sower and Soils
The question rising from the book of Luke, and now posed by the Parable of the Sower, is this: How are you responding to Jesus?
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 14
Responding to the Light
Our response to Jesus’ teaching really matters. The good and honest heart that places Jesus and his teaching above all else will bear fruit.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 15
Reckoning with the Reign of Jesus
Jesus reigns over nature and demons and calls on his disciples to trust him.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 16
Jesus is Lord Over Disease and Death
Jesus has authority over the effects of the curse within us: disease and death. He is worthy of our praise, love, faith, hope and ultimate allegiance.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 17
A Turning Point in Redemptive History
When Jesus sends out the twelve to proclaim the kingdom of God, they shift from being learners to proclaimers and his instructions to them sharpen the functions of gospel ministry.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 18
Who Do You Say Jesus Is?
Jesus is the provider who supplies my needs and the Savior who suffers and dies for me.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 19
The Transfiguration
Three names of Jesus reveal his true identity: Christ, Son of Man, and Son of God.
Luke: the Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 20
Failures of the Disciples
The failures of the disciples can teach us to depend on God’s power, pray for understanding of the cross, and work in unity for God’s kingdom.
Luke: The Power and Preaching of Jesus, Part 21
Follow Jesus
Jesus gets us, but his call to follow is not easy. Being his disciple may mean inconvenience, rearranging priorities, and avoiding distractions.
