  • Do Not Be Led Astray

    (Luke 21:5-9) I have learned that when the Lord says something we need to listen. No surprises in that. But when He gives us a warning about something we need to especially listen, for if He is warning us, then it is clear there is a strong reason for his warning. And it is even…

  • Two Copper Coins

    (Luke 21:1-4) In many places we notice that Jesus saw things differently to those around him. He often took a different path than those around him because he saw things differently. Here in this section of scripture that speaks of people giving money into the treasury at the temple we see a perfect example of…

  • Beware of the Scribes

    (Luke 20:41-47) There were many instances in the Bible where Jesus gave us warnings.

  • Till Death Us Do Part

    (Luke 20:27-40) When people are married at some point in the relationship they often give or exchange eternity rings. This is often on the first anniversary of the marriage. I am certain this is a process developed and marketed by the jewellery industry to increase sales, because it certainly has no basis in scripture. In…

    (Luke 20:19-26) This piece of scripture contains many insights, especially into the nature of money and the kingdom of God.

  • The Chief Priests Question Jesus Authority

    (Luke 20:1-8) In this section of scripture we see the chief priests and scribes question Jesus authority. They really did not care about his authority but were looking for opportunities to trip him up in his words so as to condemn him. But Jesus would have none of that and his approach to these men…

  • A House of Prayer

    (Luke 19:45-48) There has been a lot of discussion in recent times about the separation of church and state. It comes up in all kinds of places and we see those opposing the church in general focussing to remove any mention of Jesus or God from schools and public places. Well the situation in this…

  • Things That Make for Peace

    (Luke 19:41-44) Here we see Jesus about to enter into Jerusalem leading up to his death, and we see him lamenting greatly over Jerusalem. He weeps openly over the fact that the people of the city were so hard of heart. He weeps because the people and the city were going to suffer, “…because you…

  • The Very Stones Would Cry Out

    (Luke 19:28-40) As Jesus entered Jerusalem for the final time it was in humility but as triumphal as the King that He is. He came into the city knowing that he would soon be put to death, for this was the purpose of His coming. But in the short time he walked the earth it…
