The Son Reveals the Father through his Heart for the People - Luke Intro
It is in Luke’s gospel that we see the breadth of Jesus’ ministry to reach all people, to bring all into his arms and show them his heart for them personally. Since Christ and the Father are one (John 10:30), Luke provides the opportunity to see for ourselves how God interacts with his beloved, how he showers his beloved with goodness and mercy all of our days (Ps 23:6). And the good news is that you are his beloved! He delights in you (Zeph 3:17)!
Since Christ came to seek and to save the lost, join me in seeing how Jesus revealed the Father through his heart for the people in the book of Luke. Join our 12-week study session starting today through the end of the year.
Parable of the Talents - Matt 25:14-30
The master knows the ability of the servants and does not expect more than can be done. He also shows faith in the abilities of his servants by entrusting work to them while he is away.
Parable of the Wedding Banquet and the Ten Virgins - Matt 22:1-13 and Matt 25:1-13
The parable reminds me that perhaps we judge those around us, estimate their competency, their quality of work, but we are not able to estimate the quality of their heart. It reminds me that when I judge, I will get it wrong. Only God can judge the heart.
Parable of the Tenants - Matt 21:33-46
God has entrusted us with a mission. He helps us carry it out therefore, his trust is not misplaced. We need to consider if we are tending that mission and being fruitful.
Parable of the Two Sons Matthew 21:28-32
Why did the sons choose so differently? In keeping the faith, we know where to turn when the work is too hard, or too emotionally draining, or just too everything. And we do turn to him.
Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard Matt 20:1-16
In the Parable of the Workers of the Vineyard, I see more the generosity of the vineyard owner, who gave because he could and saw no value in withholding from others. The vineyard owner who offers work to all, adding meaning to their day.
Parable of the Unforgiving Servant Matt 18:23-35
The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant tells me I must seek to forgive quickly, extend mercy and grace. These must be the things that infiltrate my being.
Parable of the Fishing Net Matthew 13:47-50
No one will escape the end as described in the Parable of the Fishing Net. The Lord is generous, should we not also be generous in sharing him?
