LIGHT, FAMILY, & FAITH

#3 in Luke: Ministry & Parables
Tim Cartwright

Luke 8:16-25

The Nature of Light and Trust

  • Storms expose whether that trust is real
  • Light reveals what is true
  • Family forms around the light they trust

The Light of the World

Believers are called to be lights to the world.

The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone. – J.C. Ryle

How to Hear the Word

  • Hear with Prayer: Pray for God’s blessing during every encounter with His Word.
  • Hear with Faith: Affirm every Word of God is true and eternal.
  • Hear with Reverence: Remember the Bible is the book of God.

Jesus Redefines Family

“My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.” – Luke 8:21

The Ultimate Prize

You are considered part of the family of the Creator, God Almighty!

Faith in the Storm

“He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to the, “Where is your faith?” – Luke 8:24-25
