    By What Authority?
    Today we return to the gospel of Luke and find Jesus teaching in the Temple during Passover Week, which riled up the Sanhedrin who questioned what authority Jesus had to do such a thing. Consider with us today Jesus' complete authority over every sphere of life and the implications that has for our lives.
    By What Authority? Luke 20:1-8

    The Passion of the Christ for the Purity of the Temple
    In our study of Luke, we have followed Jesus during Passover week as he crested the Mount of Olives. Today we consider when Jesus reached Jerusalem, entered the Temple, and cleansed it. We consider the purity of God and His presence.

    What Kind of King? Part 2
    Last week we considered Jesus' approaching Jerusalem on Passover week and considered what kind of king Jesus was/is. Today we conclude that consideration with the remainder of the text gaining a fuller image of Christ the King.

    What Kind of King? Part 1
    Our text in Luke today occurs on the 1st day of the Passover Festival as Jesus and the crowds reach the crest of the Mount of Olives with Jerusalem awaiting below to the west. The excitement in the crowd was palpable as they saw Jesus preparing to enter Jerusalem, the king of the line of David that was foretold. But what kind of king were they expecting, and what kind of king is Jesus?

    What Are You Doing with Your Mina?
    Today we consider another parable Jesus shared while approaching Jerusalem from Jericho. Consider with us the foreign king who was made ruler over a land, how some reacted to his kingship, and how others used the resources entrusted to them.

    The Seeker Who Was Sought
    Today in Luke we consider the story of Zacchaeus, a man of short stature and a penchant for extorting money from his fellow Israelites as a tax collector for Rome, who had heard about Jesus coming his way and sought a place to see this Jesus, the one who cam to seek and save the lost. Consider this story of the radical grace of salvation that led to a radical response of transformation: from extortionist to philanthropist.

    The Blind Man Who Saw
    Today our continuing walk through the gospel of Luke brings us to an encounter near Jericho. A blind man sitting alongside the roadside hears a commotion approaching, learns it is Jesus passing by, and calls out to Jesus for mercy. Consider with us the eyes of faith this blind man had, allowing him to see what others failed to see.

    Expect the Unexpected
    Today guest minister Gary Miller leads us in considering the first healing recorded after Jesus' ascension. What have you expected and what was the unexpected result? If you were the man crippled since birth that was healed, what would you write in your diary?

    Understanding the Resurrection through the Prophet Isaiah
    He is risen! He is risen indeed! As we reflect on Jesus' resurrection--real, physical, historical--today we do so from our text in Luke in which Jesus predicted his coming crucifixion as it was predicted in Isaiah 53.
