Why Jesus is Magnetized to Broken People | The Gospels | Luke 5:27–39
Why do we assume Jesus wants the cleaned-up version of us? Why do we hide our wounds, sin, and shame from him? What if the very places we want to conceal are the places Jesus most wants to heal?
Jesus is Willing. Jesus is Able. | The Gospels | Luke 5:12–26
Has shame shaped how you see yourself and how you approach God? What if Jesus’s response is not rejection, but a willingness to come close and the power to heal?
Stop Living for “If Only” | The Gospels | Luke 5:1–11
What’s the “if only” you keep chasing? Why do we keep believing contentment is just one achievement, relationship, or outcome away? And what if Jesus is calling us into something bigger?
Do You Believe Miracles Still Happen? | The Gospels | Luke 4:31–44
What if Jesus’s miracles are more than ancient stories? What do they reveal about his kingdom? And how do they help us hope for what’s still to come?
The Needy and the Need-Nots | The Gospels | Luke 4:14–30
What if the deepest dividing line in humanity isn’t between the haves and the have-nots? What if it’s between the needy and the need-nots? And how do we know which one we are?
Why Consumption Can’t Satisfy You | The Gospels | Luke 4:1–13
Why are we so easily controlled by our cravings? How has consumer culture trained us to keep reaching for more? And what does Jesus teach us about resisting the lie that pleasure equals life?
How Chasing Approval Kills Your Faith | The Gospels | Luke 3:21-38
Do you feel like you constantly have to prove yourself? Are you trapped in the need to be liked, validated, or praised? How can you break free from this faith-killing cycle?
Is Your Heart Ready? | The Gospels | Luke 3:1–20
What does it mean to prepare for God’s work in your life? How do you know if your heart is truly changing? And what does repentance really look like?
Why Jesus Stayed Behind | The Gospels | Luke 2:41–52
Was Jesus sinning by staying behind at the Temple after his parents left? How do we submit to imperfect authority while keeping our hearts aligned with God? How did Jesus grow in wisdom and favor with God and man?
Comfort in the Chaos | The Gospels | Luke 2:22–40
How can we recognize God’s work in the midst of uncertainty? Is there hope beyond the chaos? Can comfort go deeper than our circumstances?
Why God Chose Bethlehem | The Gospels | Luke 2:1-21
If God could choose anywhere for Jesus to be born, why a manger in an obscure city? Why do we assume significance comes from power or wealth? And what if God’s kingdom works differently?
What Real Praise Looks Like | The Gospels | Luke 1:67–80
What does It actually mean to praise God? How does remembering God’s faithfulness reshape our priorities? And what does it look like to center our lives on God instead of ourselves?
Nine Months of Silence | The Gospels | Luke 1:57–66
What happens when God asks you to trust him in the middle of uncertainty? What do you do when faith and doubt collide? And what does John’s birth reveal about God’s unfolding plan?
The Way Up is Down | The Gospels | Luke 1:39–56
Are you chasing personal success over God’s kingdom? What does true greatness look like? Can the "lowly" really change the world?
Nothing is Impossible with God | The Gospels | Luke 1:26–38
How do we surrender when God’s plan is overwhelming? Can hope thrive in uncertainty? What does it mean to trust God completely?
How Will God Set the World Right? | The Gospels | Luke 1:1–25
If the world feels unjust, is anyone truly in control? How will lost sinners ever be reconciled? Where does real hope begin?
Do You Live with Resurrection Hope? | The Gospels | Mark 16:1–8
Is your outlook shaped by what’s happening around you? Are you worrying about "stones" God has already rolled away? What would it look like to live differently because Jesus is alive?
The Cry from the Cross | The Gospels | Mark 15:33–47
Why did Jesus quote Psalm 22 in his final moments? Why does it sound more like desperation than victory? What does his agony reveal about God’s heart toward you?
The Ultimate Proof of His Love | The Gospels | Mark 15:21–32
How can you be sure God loves you? What do you do when your circumstances make you doubt his goodness? What does it mean to take up your cross and follow Jesus?
Hail, King Jesus! | The Gospels | Mark 15:1–20
What does it mean to say “Hail, King Jesus” in a world that feels anything but joyful? Where is God when you feel rejected, condemned, or beaten down? Can rejoicing survive real suffering?
