Luke

Transforming Encounters presents 40 encounters with Jesus from the Gospel of Luke. Different people meet Jesus in different life circumstances. They come to Jesus with their questions, needs, doubts or challenges. Some encounters are individual, others as a group, or in the midst of a crowd. An encounter with Jesus always changes, encourages, challenges. 40 authors investigate what happens in each of these encounters, and find a message for us.

Transforming Encounters: The 40-Day Challenge (Luke)

Join me for a three day devotional as we uncover the true meaning of Christmas. What things do you most look forward to and love about Christmas? It probably has something to do with making new memories and taking time to enjoy old ones, right? The decorations, the traditions, the celebrations with family and friends—it’s a special time of year and there’s nothing else like it. We roll our eyes when stores begin marketing the holiday months in advance, but it’s hard to blame them. Christmas is an entirely unique season, and even though we sometimes don’t want it to come at us too early, many of us can admit we also don’t want it to end. We’d rather hold on to Christmas than let it go, and it’s important to consider why.

I Don't Want Christmas to End: A 3-Day Devotional With Zach Williams

When you’re… 
… fearful, you need God’s power.  
… vulnerable, you need His security.  
… exhausted, you need His balance.  
… self-focused, you need His compassion.  
… on the wrong track, you need His redemption. 
 
Join Christian Surfers’ Meg Owen to explore five key aspects of faith found in Luke’s Gospel – and how your daily life can be transformed as you ride the waves of faith with Jesus. 


Riding the Waves of Faith

In this parable, Jesus teaches us that we should keep asking, searching, and knocking when we pray. He wants us to understand that if we're persistent in our prayers, just like the friend eventually helped, God will also respond to our persistent requests when we seek Him. Read and be blessed. 

The Late Night Visitor

As the longest book in the New Testament, Luke makes the purpose of his writing clear at the beginning: to investigate and write an account of the Gospel. As a Gentile physician, Luke has deliberately recorded many healing miracles of Jesus and His care for the social outcasts. The Gospel is summarised in this proclamation of Jesus, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Through the Bible: Luke

Twice in Luke 2, Mary is described as treasuring what she witnessed in Jesus's life. She pondered the sacred moments God brought her into. In this five-day reading plan, Brittany Rust explores those moments and how we might both treasure and ponder God's work and Person.

Sacred Moments With Christ

Finding The Light in God's "No!" takes a deeper look into when God answers our prayers with a "No!" through a study of Luke 22:39-46. Find Biblical truth in three minutes a day for one week in this study on God's "No!"

Finding the Light in God's "No!"

The most important moment in the history of the world was when Jesus, the Light of the World, became flesh to dwell among us.  Angels announced his arrival, poems were written, shepherds ran and Mary sang! Come with us on a five-day journey as we examine His light, how it inspired those around Him and how it impacts us today.

The Promised One

The Christmas story is found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. An Angel visits Mary to tell her that she would give birth to the Son of God. Jesus is born in Bethlehem. The shepherds come to see him, and the Magi from the east follow a star to Jesus.
