To Know the Truth (Page 6)
The Forgiven Debtor (Luke 7:36-50)
The one who has been forgiven much will love Jesus much. The one who does not know their need of forgiveness will not love Jesus or others. If your heart doesn’t incline itself to honor Jesus in reverence and delight, you don’t understand the debt that Jesus covered on the cross.
Seeing Beyond Your Circumstances (Luke 7:18-35)
Sometimes our circumstances cloud our ability to see Jesus and believe that He really is the Messiah. In this passage, Jesus teaches John the Baptist that He really is the Messiah, regardless of what is happening to John.

Jesus’ first sermon in Luke is packed with some very counter-cultural and subversive truths that ought to be deeply challenging. Blessed (soul-happy) are those impoverished, hungry, aware of sin, and persecuted but woe (warning of disaster) to those who are rich with satisfied appetites when…
By His Wounds We Are Healed (Luke 6:17-19)
The crowds gather and he heals all their diseases and infirmities. But Jesus doesn’t just heal physical ailments. Through the cross Jesus comes to bring the full soul-healing from sin and death for those who trust in Him.
Living in Dependence on the Father through Prayer (Luke 6:12-16)
We are each utterly dependent on God for all things. Even each breath we take is held within the hand of the Father. We ought to live as though we are dependent on God by living in communion with God through active, ongoing, present prayer. Our life of mission and obedience is dependent on our…
The Nature of Audacious Faith (Luke 5:12-32)
In this passage, we see that coming to Jesus via faith requires audacity without presumption. Faith isn’t just believing certain facts about Jesus but believing that Jesus is worth coming to and entrusting our entire life to Him.
