Perfecting an Imperfect Faith, Part 1
Luke 8:40-48 We are coming into a section here at the end of Luke 8, if you’d like to turn in your Bibles there. The section that really does wrap up the chapter, verses 40 to 56. We have seen in this eighth chapter of Luke some I, really what, what could we call them? Dramatic displays of divine power in Jesus’ ministry. We saw Jesus calm a storm at sea. He commanded inanimate natural forces like wind and waves,…
Evangelism and the Mercy of God
Luke 8:34-39 Turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 8. We have been working our way, over the past couple of weeks, through this amazing account of deliverance, as Jesus rescues a man from a severe, very severe case of demonic possession. The whole story is there in Luke 8:26-39. I’m gonna read the first part for you, the parts that we’ve covered, provide a little bit of review. If you’re there in Luke 8, follow me as I read…
A Vivid Picture of Spiritual Oppression
Luke 8:26-29 We’re returning to our study of Luke’s Gospel. So I ask you to open your Bibles to Luke Chapter 8, Luke 8. And we are entering into a story of really profound and far reaching implications as Jesus heals what has to be the severest example of demonic possession found in all of Scripture, and I’d say probably the only exception would be the Antichrist himself, who is going to be inhabited by Satan. That’s very profound, severe…
How to Find Rest in the Middle of a Storm
Luke 8:22-25 We are coming into a new section here in Luke, chapter 8, so you can turn there in your Bibles if you’re not already there.

Does Jesus Call You Family
Luke 8:19-21 Turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 8. We are moving through this great chapter verse by verse and a following the organization and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who wrote this down through Luke. And a, following his, just his organization of even how the chapter lays out, we’re coming into a section of scripture here, Luke 8:19-21, a, these verses are actually out of chronological, historical chronological order. Which is not Luke’s typical style and…
Take Care How You Hear
Luke 8:16-18 What is Jesus illustrating with the lamp lighting analogy? What are the hidden things that are made manifest? What are the secret things that will be made known and come to light? Are Jesus’ disciples to take that as a word of caution? That, that is why we are to take care how we hear? That is to say, is that the fact that all of our dirty laundry will one day be hung out to dry? So…
The Tragedy of Fruitless Christianity
Luke 8:13-14 It is a joy to return again, once again to our study of Luke’s gospel. So I’d invite you to turn in your Bibles. Open them to Luke chapter 8. We’re studying the parable of the sower also known probably more accurately as the parable of the soils, the parable of the soils in Luke chapter 8. The parable that Jesus tells here, it doesn’t have to do with the sower per se, but it has to do…
The Devilish Barrier of Bad Religion
Luke 8:10-12 When his disciples asked him what this parable meant, he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see and hearing they may not understand. Now the parable is this. The seed is the word of God. The ones along the path are those who have heard, and the devil comes and takes away the word from…
The Powerful Purpose of Parables
Luke 8:4-10 Let’s take our Bibles in hand and turn over to Luke 8. Luke 8. As I’ve said, we’re going to be looking at the first part here of the Parable of the Sower, Luke 8:4 through 10. And then we’re going to get to the rest of that parable, the explanation of the parable that Jesus gives, we’ll get to that next week. As you heard when we read in Scripture reading just a moment ago, the Parable…
The Training of the Twelve
Luke 8:4-56 Want to invite you to turn your Bibles to Luke 8. And we’re gonna do something just a little bit different this morning. Last week we transitioned actually from Luke 7 to, chapter 7 to chapter 8. As you’re going to see, the, the territory into which we’re heading does require some continuity in the schedule. So once again, in God’s good and wise providence, he’s given us a Sunday here that allows me to provide an overview…
