  • Luke Study Guide
    Luke Episode 12 The Pharisee Study Guide Episode: Luke Series No. 12 Narrator: The Pharisee Primary Scriptures: Luke 11, 12, 13:31-35 Story Summary: Teachings of Jesus Location: Galilee Time: Circa 30 AD Suggested Memory Scriptures: Luke 11:2-4, 9-10, 11:13, 11:23, 11:28, 12:8-9, 12:10, 12:15, 12:48 The Pharisees were a Jewish sect that started two hundred years before Jesus. At times their identity shifted between a political party, a social movement, or a school of thought. They believed in the authority of virtually all of the Hebrew Bible (what we call the Old Testament) and had built an oral tradition of a vast number of interpretations. After the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, their beliefs became foundational in Rabbinic Judaism. The Sadducees were another Jewish sect who recognized only the Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament) and rejected the rest as well as oral traditions and beliefs such as the resurrection of the dead. The Sadducees and Pharisees comprised most of the Jewish leadership in the time of Jesus. Both the Pharisees and Sadducees opposed Jesus and his teachings. Jesus interpreted the Scriptures differently than either the Sadducees or Pharisees, was intent on serving God and not the letter of their laws, and wanted to free the people from the religious rules that the leaders had inflicted on them. Jesus spoke with authority, and the religious leaders feared the people would follow Jesus and reject them. This fueled their jealousy and hatred. In these chapters, Jesus is headed toward Jerusalem and his death, and Luke seems to be choosing among his many teachings and actions during that period.

  • M. Max .B. Turner, "Spirit Endowment in Luke-Acts: Some Linguistic Considerations,"
    M. Max B. Turner, “Spirit Endowment In Luke/Acts: Some Linguistic Considerations,” Vox Evangelica 12 (1981): 45-63. Spirit Endowment In Luke/Acts: Some Linguistic Considerations M. Max B. Turner [p.45] Of the 75 or so references to the Holy Spirit in Luke-Acts, some 53 occasions refer to different kinds of endowment of the Spirit on a man. An array of quite colourful expressions is used to denote these various experiences, and we may provisionally classify the types of phraseology concerned as follows: (1) Occasions when men are said to ‘receive (the gift of) the Holy Spirit’ or to be ‘given’ the Spirit: Luke 11: 13; Acts 2: 33, 38; 5: 32; 8: 15, 17, 18, 19; 10: 45, 47; 11: 17; 15: 8; 19: 2. (2) Instances where men are said to be ‘filled with’ the Spirit or ‘full of the Spirit (a) Using pimplēmi: Luke 1: 15, 41, 67; Acts 2: 4; 4: 8, 31; 9: 17; 13: 9. (b) Using plēroō: Acts 13: 52. (c) Using plērēs: Luke 4: 1; Acts 6: 3, 5; 7:55; 11: 24. (3) Cases when people are said to be ‘baptized’ with (or in) the Holy Spirit, or when the Spirit is said to be ‘poured out’ upon them: Luke 3: 16; Acts 1: 5; 2: 17, 18, 33; 10: 45; 11: 16. (4) Places where the Spirit is said to ‘come upon’, ‘fall on’ or ‘descend onto’ an individual or group: Luke 1: 35; 3: 22; Acts 1: 8; 8: 16; 10: 44; 11: 15; 19: 6. (5) Contexts where a man is described as ‘anointed’ with the Spirit, or where it is stated that the Spirit was ‘on’ him: Luke 2: 25; 4: 18; Acts 10: 38.

  • Outcasts (5): Blessed Are the Poor (Luke 6:20-26) I
    Outcasts (5): Blessed Are the Poor (Luke 6:20-26) I. Introduction A. We continue today with “Outcasts: Meeting People Jesus Met in Luke” 1. Luke has a definite interest in people on the-outside-looking-in a. His birth narrative tells of shepherds, the mistrusted drifter-gypsies b. Later she shows Jesus touched lepers, ultimate of aunclean outcasts c. He mentions tax collectors more than Matthew and Mark combined 2. The outcast we will look at today from Luke’s gospel is the poor a. Jesus first sermon in Luke was a text on the poor (Luke 4:18-19) b. John asks from prison if Jesus is really Messiah (Luke 7:22-23) c. Jesus is asked about handwashing & ritual purity (Luke 11:39-40) d. Jesus proclaims his own solidarity with the poor (Luke 9:58) e. Jesus equates the kingdom with giving to poor (Luke 12:32-34) 3. Jesus had quite a lot to say about the poor in Luke (see more later) a. Were some of those text just a little bit unfamiliar to us? Why? b. What first pops into our head when we think of helping the poor c. Did you think Bernie Sanders and “Liberal Democratic Socialism?” 1) Political Test: The difference between socialism and capitalism 2) Socialism is man exploiting man. Capitalism is other way around 3) Jesus doesn’t care about our politics; he wants us to care about poor B. Our “outcast” Jesus encounters will be quite different this morning 1. Jesus doesn’t run into a poor person; he stood and teach (Luke 6:17) a.

  • Parables of Luke 11-12; Prayer
    Life & Teachings of Jesus Lecture 17, page 1 Parables of Luke 11-12; Prayer We will begin by wrapping up Jesus’ teaching on prayer in Luke 11. As we walked through the parable we saw that Jesus was creating an hypothetical scenario, bringing our misconceptions about God to the surface, such as our tendency to think that God is irritable and mean-spirited, that He doesn’t answer ordinary common requests and is indifferent to our needs. The wording of the Greek text shows that Jesus is asking people to imagine something that is not true. While the NIV translation reads, “Suppose one of you has a friend,” the literal Greek does not begin with the word “suppose.” It begins with a question: “Who of you has a friend?” A number of times in the Gospels Jesus used the formula “Who of you has this?” or, “Who of you would do that?” Each time He used it to introduce something that’s impossible or foolish. For example, in Luke 12:25, He asked, “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?” Can anybody do that? No. Another time He asked, “Who of you would leave an ox in a ditch on a Sabbath day?” Would anybody do that? Would anybody let an animal die when it fell down a ditch because it was the Sabbath? No. In Luke 17:7, Jesus asked, “Who of you would invite a dirty, smelly laborer who just came in from the field to sit down with you at your table for dinner if you were the master of the house?” Would anybody do that? No.

  • Luke-Acts and a Theology of Creation WALTER E
    Word & World 12/1 (1992) Copyright © 1992 by Word & World, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN. All rights reserved. page 51 Luke-Acts and a Theology of Creation WALTER E. PILGRIM Lutheran Institute for Theological Education, Tacoma, Washington The global ecological crisis of our times has burst into the theological consciousness of the church from many directions. This article examines Luke-Acts for themes that may contribute to that discussion. I. GOD AS BENEVOLENT CREATOR The fundamental biblical theme of creation offers a suitable place to begin. Both Luke and Acts underscore the witness to God as the creator and preserver of all creation. Twice in prayers God is addressed as such: Luke 10:21, “Father, Lord of heaven and earth”; Acts 4:24, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and everything in them.” Most significant are Jesus’ appeals to trust in a benevolent God. In the sayings on anxiety, we catch a glimpse into Jesus’ knowledge of and delight in the created order (Luke 12:22-31 || Matt 6:25-34). The ravens neither sow nor reap nor store, yet a gracious God feeds them (v. 24). And the lilies neither toil nor spin, yet their beauty upstages Solomon in all his glory (v. 27). Although a qualitative distinction is made between the birds or grass and human beings (v. 24, 28), the main point is not the comparison of relative values but God’s sure and generous provision for all. If God provides so outlandishly for the natural world, and God does, “how much more” will the Creator care for you.

    1 Ted Kirnbauer Luke 12:35-48 12/1816 Much of the material in Luke stresses the presence of the kingdom with Christ; however, Luke 12:35-48 looks forward to the future of Christ’s return when He will come again to judge the earth and establish His kingdom upon it. John MacArthur says, In some ways, the doctrine of the Second Coming is the most important doctrine in the Christian faith because it features the culmination of all redemptive history. It looks at the judgment of the wicked, the blessing of the righteous, and most of all, the final and permanent and everlasting exaltation and glory of the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Savior Jesus Christ. All other doctrines lead up to that one. That's the finale; that's the culmination. That is the purpose for which all other elements of redemptive history were designed. Jesus had just said that His disciples were to focus on gaining treasure in heaven (12:34). They were not to worry, but were to steward their resources for the good of others and the glory of God (12:22 ff.). The content of what follows (12:35-48) is concerned about how Christ’s followers are to live in the interval between His death and His return. In these verses, Jesus teaches us “the way to wait” for His return. 12:35 "Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. Verse 35 introduces two images of preparedness. The first image is being dressed in readiness. Literally it reads, “let your waist be girded” (NKJ).

  • The NC Synod Reads Together: Lutherans Learning Luke
    The NC Synod Reads Together: Lutherans Learning Luke June 12-July 9, 2016 a summer reading adventure brought to you by the NC Synod Book of Faith Team !2 Greetings NC Synod! Pack your bags. We’re hitting the road this summer with Luke! Not lightsaber Luke, not football Luke, not even country singer Luke, we’re setting out with the gospel according to Luke. We’ll read a chapter and devotion together each day, ponder a question or two, and pray along with our fellow Lutherans around the state. Your NC Synod Book of Faith Team hopes this experience will allow you to encounter Jesus wherever you roam this summer, expand your familiarity with the gospel according to Luke, and discover God’s grace along the way. Many thanks to all of our contributors and readers! Without you, this summer reading opportunity would not exist. May God bless us in our journey together; may the Holy One open us to consider what it means to be church here in North Carolina and the mission we share in Christ! Read in peace! Share the good news! On behalf of the Book of Faith Team, Jennifer M. Manis Diaconal Minister for Campus Ministry Holy Trinity Lutheran Church + Lutheran Campus Ministry-Raleigh Raleigh, NC Your Book of Faith Team is: Pebbles Cloninger Catherine Fink, Synod Staff Liaison The Rev.
