The same author with the same audience and the same aim as in his Gospel begins his second volume, dealing with the continued acts of the risen Jesus by his Spirit through his apostles. Luke sets out his work and its scope, both connecting with his Gospel and continuing from it, showing that there was no ceasing of Christ's doing and teaching with his death, but rather—by his proven resurrection and subsequent ascension—he continues to do his Father's will as the kingdom comes.

In these verses, separated by other events in the context, Jesus describes the terms of discipleship. As we study this together, we will identify the terms of discipleship presented by Jesus.

Morning Service: Hearts burning for Jesus (Luke 24:32)

We continue our exposition of Luke by examining Jesus' command to live our enemies.

The Geneology of Jesus Christ and why it is important.

They who in their obedience attain to the greatest height which is possible in this life, are so far from being able to supererogate, and to do more than God requires, as that they fall short of much which in duty they are bound to do.

In this passage is held forth for the church three more brothers who blessed the church and leave for us examples to follow: Epaphras, an example who continued to fight for the church on his knees in prayer, Luke, who faithfully labored behind the scenes supporting the Apostle Paul and leaving for us a faithful account of Christ and the beginnings of the Church, and Demas, a man whose words should be received but whose example must be rejected. You are encouraged to bless the church!

Sunday Morning Sermon

Luke 9:10-17 tells the account of the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 men. This passage demonstrates the reality that all things are possible with God. Give Jesus what you have without telling Him what is possible with it. Expect Him to make the impossible possible. God made salvation, which is impossible to people in and of themselves, possible through Jesus Christ. Believe in Him to receive forgiveness and salvation.
