Luke 13:18-21

From its small and seemingly insignificant beginning, who would have suspected that the Kingdom of God would grow and spread across the world? It’s just like when you plant a tiny seed that turns into a huge tree. You may not notice it growing, but it does. Find out about the remarkable growth of the Church on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.

Luke 13:10-17

Our natural tendency is to avoid people in need. Whether it’s someone asking for money or a friend in crisis, our automatic response is to get out of the way. And oftentimes we have good reasons for it. But Jesus walks right into people’s pain and gets his hands dirty, much to the shock of the religious leaders. Find out more about the mercy of Christ on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.

Luke 13:1-9

Have you ever planted something that didn’t yield any produce? Maybe an apple tree, or a raspberry bush. If it never gave you any fruit, you probably tore it out and put something new in its place. Jesus speaks of us in the same way. If we don’t produce the fruit of repentance, we too will be cut down. Repentance is a matter of life and death. Dr. Philip Ryken asks the question, "Which will you choose,?" today on Every Last Word.

Luke 12:49-59

Would you be ready if Christ returned tonight? Would you have an answer if tomorrow you had to stand before God? We don’t know when Christ will come for the final judgment, but we must be ready for it. Jesus warns us that he will be coming back soon, and gives us hope that we can put our trust in Him.

Luke 12:35-48

“Ready or not, here I come!” These are the works spoken in the child’s game of hide and seek. But one day they will be spoken by Jesus Christ.

Find out by listening to Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word.

Luke 12:22-34

We all know that worrying is useless. It won’t give us more time in our day, and will cause us to work slower. Worrying won’t provide the clothes we need, or our food. Yet for some reason, many of us are addicted to this useless activity. Dr. Philip Ryken explains why Jesus commands his people not to worry and gives some very good reasons why we shouldn’t on Every Last Word.

Luke 12:13-21

It seems to be ingrained in us to always want more. We want to get ahead, to make our lives pleasant and comfortable. We want to secure our future, so we prepare for retirement. It’s easy for us to be busy storing up our wealth, forgetting that we are told not to gain treasure here on earth, but rather in heaven. Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken challenges our way of thinking on Every Last Word.

Luke 12:1-12

We hear stories of people in other places and times boldly trusting God and proclaiming his name, even to death. That often seems very far away from the reality of our lives. But we, too, must courageously stand for Christ. Find out more on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.
