Chaos can flood a room fast—especially when fear, pride, and pressure collide. We open Luke 22 and watch a community wobble: Judas bargains in secret, friends bicker over status, swords flash in the dark, and a rooster outs a disciple’s bravado. Through it all, Jesus stays steady—reframing Passover as a new covenant, redefining leadership as service, and choosing surrender over spectacle in Gethsemane.

We walk scene by sce...

Two coins and an earthquake of meaning. That’s the surprising arc of Luke 21, where a quiet offering exposes the heart of worship and Jesus’ words pull back the curtain on history, hope, and how to stand when the ground moves. We start with the widow who gives “everything she has,” exploring why Jesus measures devotion by trust, not totals, and how generosity becomes an act of worship that shapes our allegiance in a world obsessed ...

Power walks into a trap and trips over the truth. We open Luke 20 and move through a series of high-stakes confrontations where Jesus refuses to answer bad-faith questions on their terms and instead reframes reality around God’s kingdom. The leaders demand to know his authority; he points them back to John and exposes their evasions. Then he tells the parable of the tenant farmers, a sobering sweep of Israel’s resistance to God’s m...

Start with a tax collector in a tree and end with a city on the brink: Luke 19 shows how Jesus transforms people, challenges systems, and calls us to a quieter kind of courage. We walk from Jericho to Jerusalem tracing a pattern—mercy that makes restitution, stewardship that values faithfulness over performance, praise that stubbornly tells the truth, and worship that refuses to exploit those seeking God.

Our journey begin...

What if waiting wasn’t wasted but the exact place where faith grows roots? We open Luke 18 and follow a vivid path—from a widow who won’t quit, to a Pharisee and a tax collector whose prayers reveal their hearts, to children welcomed with open arms. Along the way, a wealthy ruler meets his roadblock, Jesus clears up the myth of buying your way into the kingdom, and we hear a passion prediction so clear it confronts our expectations...

What if the kingdom you’re searching for can’t be pointed at—but can be practiced right now? We open Luke 17 and follow a through-line that starts with forgiveness that outruns our feelings, moves into mustard-seed faith that obeys before it sees, and lands in a surprising picture of the kingdom that is already among us. Along the way, ten men with leprosy cry out for mercy, and only one returns in gratitude, turning healing into w...

A story about a “dishonest rascal” shouldn’t teach us about godly wisdom—yet Jesus turns that expectation on its head. We open Luke 16 and sit with two parables that won’t let us look at money, mercy, or eternity the same way again. First up is the shrewd manager: a man facing the end of his job who acts decisively to secure future welcome. Jesus doesn’t celebrate his wastefulness; He highlights his foresight. The lesson is bracing...

Grace isn’t tidy, and Luke 15 refuses to make it so. We open with Pharisees grumbling at Jesus’ table fellowship and watch him answer with three vivid stories—lost sheep, lost coin, and a runaway son—that dismantle our small views of God. With cultural insight from first-century life, we trace how a real shepherd safeguards the ninety-nine while pursuing the one, why a single silver coin could carry a woman’s identity and worth, an...

A crowded Pharisee’s house. Watchful eyes. A suffering man. That’s where Luke 14 begins—and where our assumptions about religion, status, and comfort start to unravel. We follow Jesus as he heals on the Sabbath, not to provoke but to restore the true meaning of rest: trusting God while letting mercy move toward real need. From there, the room’s quiet power games come into focus as people angle for honor. Jesus flips the script with...

A narrow door that opens into a wide table—Luke 13 is full of contrasts that make spiritual life feel both urgent and deeply hopeful. We sit with hard headlines and local tragedies, then hear Jesus push past the blame game to a single call: repent, not because some are worse, but because all need mercy. From there, a barren fig tree introduces a Gardener who doesn’t give up quickly. He asks for one more year, promising care and cul...
