Every Last Word

Luke 9:28-36 Sometimes we envy the disciples who actually walked and talked with Jesus. We think if we could just touch him, we’d have a greater faith. Or if we could only see Jesus face to face, following him would be a lot easier. Tune in to Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken for The Glory of God's Son.

Luke 9:18-22 Peter has a reputation as being the loudmouth of the disciples. When asked who Jesus is, he blurts out that he is the Christ of God. This confession has a lot of implications for who Christ is and what he does. Are you able to make this same confession? Do you know Jesus as your Christ? Listen to Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word.

Luke 9:10-17 What is impossible for man is easy for God. The disciples learned this first hand when Jesus commanded them to feed five thousand hungry men. After insisting that they couldn’t possibly achieve such a feat, they watched Jesus simply break bread and have it multiply in his hands. But Jesus did much more that, He taught his disciples some extremely valuable lessons. Hear about those lessons on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.

Luke 9:1-9 Doing something is often the best way to learn it. That’s why Jesus sent his apostles out on an internship. He told them to spread the gospel with their words and their actions – healing the sick and casting out demons. From their trip, the apostles learned valuable lessons of what it means to trust God. Tune in to Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken to find out how these lessons still apply to us today.

Luke 8:40-56 When people come to Jesus in extreme situations, he offers them extreme solutions. A man’s daughter dies while he is begging Jesus for help. He speaks to the girl and she comes to life again. A woman has been bleeding for years, and no doctor can help. Jesus heals her and brings her back into the relationships she’s not had for years. Listen to Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word to see how Jesus responds to those who have faith in him.

Luke 8:26-39 Do you remember the story of Jesus allowing a bunch of demons to enter a herd of pigs? We may find if funny but it is no laughing matter. Today Dr. Philip Ryken looks at how Jesus responded to a demon possessed man and how the community reacts when that man is given a new life at the cost of a herd of pigs on Every Last Word.

Luke 8:22-25 Do you feel like a storm has taken over your life? Have you recently been faced with unemployment, a sudden illness, or some other painful event? Jesus’ and His disciples were sailing across a lake when an unexpected storm blew in. The storm was so strong that even these experienced sailors feared for their lives. They frantically came to Jesus, who was asleep in the boat. Sometimes we feel Jesus doesn’t care about the danger in our lives. But He does care.  Dr. Philip Ryken assures us that Jesus is able to calm our storms just as he calmed the disciples’ storm at sea on Every Last Word.

Luke 8:16-21 Have you ever been told that you look just like one of your parents? Or maybe you have the same mannerisms as a brother or sister. What about your spiritual family? Do you live in such a way that others will be able to see the family resemblance? Is it easy to see from your actions that you are a child of God? Dr. Philip Ryken asks these questions on Every Last Word. 

Luke 8:1-15 Jesus gives His followers a parable to teach them how people respond to the good news of the Gospel. Some people embrace it enthusiastically, but quickly fall away because it wasn’t rooted deep within them. Others have it snatched from them before it even enters their consciousness. Still others believe, but when they tested, the truth gets strangled inside of them. There are some people, however, in whom the Word of God firmly takes root and produces wonderful fruit in their lives and the lives of others. On Every Last Word today, Dr. Philip Ryken asks, "What kind of person are you?"

Luke 7:36-50 A prostitute walks into the dinner party of a prominent religious leader. She cries over Jesus’ feet, then uses her hair to dry the tears. She then pours very expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet. The religious leader is indignant. Surely Jesus can’t be a prophet if he’s letting this woman touch him! The Pharisee is in for a powerful lesson today concerning his own sinfulness and lack of love. Learn what that lesson is on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.
