Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 23:41-44 - "Today You Will Be With Me in Paradise"Welcometo Pastor's Chat as we continue to look at Luke 23. Jesus is on the cross inthe passages we've been reading and discussing. Today, in verse 43, Jesus spoketo the thief on the cross next to Him who had repented, who had recognized thatJesus Christ is the Son of God, sinless, stainless, blameless and who believedthat Jesus was dying not for any guilt of His own, but for the sins of theworld. It is apparent that the thief believed Jesus was the Messiah because hesaid, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." Hereis a man w...2025-07-1805 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 22:49-53 - Fighting the Wrong Enemy with the Wrong WeaponsJesushas been praying with His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane when Judasshows up with a “multitude” of the temple guards to arrest Jesus. To get thefull picture of this event, I highly recommend that you read all four Gospelaccounts. John tells us that Jesus “went forth” to meet Judas and those withhim and asked, “Whom are you seeking?” They answered, “Jesus of Nazareth” andJesus said, “I am He”. At those words, God released the radiance of His glory,and it literally knocked Judas and all the mob to the ground (John 18:1-12). Matthewtells us that this is when Jud...2025-07-0205 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 22:47-48 - Betrayed With a KissWelcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we continue to look at Luke chapter 22. At this point,we're with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. He's been praying with three ofHis disciples—Peter, James, and John. They've been sleeping while He's beenpraying. Interestingly,one version says that Jesus said, “Then cometh he to his disciples, andsaith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand,and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us begoing: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.” (Matthew 26:45-46, K...2025-07-0105 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 22:40-46 - The Sweat and BloodThe Garden of Gethsemane is a beautiful, awe-inspiringplace, a place of holy ground, we believe. There, our tour group will gatheraround an old olive tree that I'm sure does not date back to the time of Christ2,000 years ago. The Romans probably destroyed the Garden when they destroyedJerusalem in AD 70 when Titus invaded the city and no doubt destroyed all thetrees around it. But this tree could have grown from the roots of the treesthat were in the garden when Jesus was there. Todaythe Garden of Gethsemane is next to the Church of the Nations. I...2025-06-3005 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 22:40-46 - "This Cup" of GethsemaneJesus kneels to pray, saying, "Father, if it is Yourwill, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, bedone." Thenan angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, Heprayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood fallingdown to the ground. When He rose up from prayer and had come to His disciples,He found them sleeping from sorrow. Then He said to them, "Why do yousleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation." Twice He tells themto pray that they avoid falling i...2025-06-2705 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 22:40-42 - Are We Praying or Are We SleepingWhen Jesus gets to the garden, He takes three of the inner circledisciples—Peter, James, and John—and goes a little further. Jesusleft eight of the other disciples somewhere else in the garden, and He takesthese three a little further. What's interesting is that this is the third timethat Jesus has shared a special occasion with these three men. The first waswhen Jesus raised Jairus's daughter from the dead in Luke 8:41-56. The secondis when Jesus was on the Mount of Transfiguration and was transfigured beforethem in Luke 9:28-36. Youunderstand that even o...2025-06-2605 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 21:8-19 - Jesus' Description of the TribulationToday,we will continue looking at Luke 21:8-19. In this passage, Jesus gives Hisgreat prophecy concerning future events to His disciples from the Mount ofOlives as they overlook the city of Jerusalem. He's answering their question:what will the signs be of the end of the age, and when will that happen? Here,Jesus describes what we've already discussed as the great tribulation period,the seven years between the time of the church age, the rapture of the church,and the millennial reign of Jesus Christ on earth. Remember,this is primarily a Jewish prophecy f...2025-06-0905 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 21:5-7 - Introduction to the Mt. Olivet DiscourseLuke 20 ends with Jesusgiving a scathing rebuke to the Pharisees, scribes, Sadducees, elders, andleaders of Israel about their religious hypocrisy. Matthew 23 gives thismessage of “Woes” that Jesus pronounced upon them in greater detail. Now inLuke 21, Jesus notices the poor widow giving her offering of two mites andcompares her sacrificial heart to their greedy and selfish ones. Compared tothe gifts of the rich men, her two copper coins seemed insignificant, but Jesussaid that she gave more than all the others combined. Now it was thedisciples' turn to ask the questions! Their attention was on the temple infro...2025-06-0605 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 20:20-26 - God Ordained Human GovernmentInLuke 20:20-26 the Jewish priests, elders, scribes, and the Herodians continueto confront Jesus seeking to find a reason to have Him killed (v.19). On thisparticular occasion, Jesus knew that the men who questioned Him were spies sentby the Pharisees and the Herodians according to Mark 12:13, but He patientlylistened and replied. Thesetwo groups were usually fighting each other, but now they had a common enemy,and this brought them together. They wanted to discuss taxes and Romanauthority, hoping to provoke Jesus into offending either the Jews or the Romans.If Jesus said, “pay the Roman tax,” they...2025-06-0105 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 20:17-19 - Jesus is the Chief CornerstoneTheseverses 17-19, continue the confrontation that Jesus has on Tuesday of PassionWeek with the scribes, the priests, and the elders, just days before He iscrucified. Jesus has just finished telling a parable to the people that thesereligious leaders were also carefully listening to. It was the story of the ownerof a vineyard who finally sent his beloved son to receive the fruit, but he isrejected and killed by the vinedressers. They realize Jesus is claiming to bethe son in the story who is being rejected and killed. NowJesus turns back from the crowd to these l...2025-05-3105 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 19:1-10 - Placed in the Way of God's GraceHere in Luke 19, Jesusis giving us this story of a rich man getting saved and making sure weunderstand what's impossible with men is possible with God. If you go back to Luke18, you might remember the rich young ruler who came running to Jesus and leftvery sorrowful. Jesus then made the statement, "How hard it is forthose who have riches to enter the kingdom of God." The rich man in Luke 18came running to Jesus, but this man, Zacchaeus, ran ahead of Jesus because hesought to see Him. He was small of stature and had t...2025-05-1905 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 16:22-26 – Hell, A Place of Eternal TormentToday,we're looking at Luke16:22-26, and we're talking about the subject of hell.Unless the rapture takes place first, everyoneon planet Earth will die. We will all face judgment and the Bible teaches wewill either go to a place of eternal torment, a literal hell, or to wonderfulplace of paradise called heaven. Jesus spoke about a literal hell on manyoccasions. Goddid not create hell for human beings. He created paradise, heaven for humanbeings. Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14). Buthell was created for the devil and his angel, as M...2025-04-3005 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 16:14-18 - "But God Knows Your Hearts"As I was studying thispassage I couldn’t help but recall a statement one of my Bible college professorsmade over 50 years ago at Lynchburg Baptist College (Now Liberty University).He said, “A man’s morality will dictate his theology.” The Pharisees of Jesusday had a head knowledge of the Old Testament Law better than anyone else. Theycould quote most of it from memory. But the truth is, they were not practicingit and to justify their love for money, and even their immorality, theylistened to the teachers that interpreted the law to fit their lifestyle andungodly living and atti...2025-04-2705 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 12:54-59 - Beware of Spiritual DullnessWelcome to today’s pastor’s chat as we conclude Luke 12. Jesus closes with a sobering call: beware of spiritualdullness. First,let’s consider discernment (Luke 12:54-57). Jesus turns to the crowd and says, “Wheneveryou see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower’scoming,’ and so it is. And when you see a south wind blow, you say, ‘There’llbe hot weather,’ and there it is.” The people could read the sky like abook, predicting storms or heat with ease. Yet, Jesus calls them hypocrites: “Youcan discern the face of the sky and of the earth...2025-04-0605 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 12:23-29 - Beware of WorryNow amazing, the place we pick up in Luke 12:22-29, seemsto specifically be for our family during a time like this! Remember Jesusbegins this chapter telling His disciples to “beware of hypocrisy” (vv. 1-12).Then Jesus tells them to “beware of covetousness” (vv. 13-21). You might havenoticed like me, that in verse 22, this is the second time Jesus specificallyaddresses His disciple in this chapter. In verses 1 and 22, we read, “…Jesussaid to His disciples”. Now, In verse 22, Jesus basically is saying to them,and to us, “beware of worry”. Jesus had just told the story of the rich farmer who...2025-03-3105 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 11:44-54 - Jesus Exposes Religious HypocrisyIn this passage, Luke 11:42-52, as a guest, in the veryhouse of a Pharisee, Jesus courageously exposes the hypocrisy of the religiousleaders of His day, the Pharisees and lawyers. Jesus is making it very clearthat there is no room for hypocrites in the church, especially in the pulpitand in the church leaders. Jesus is not only exposing them, but He is declaringcondemnation and judgment upon them with these six “woe” pronouncements. Threewere for the Pharisees and three were for the lawyers. The first three"woes" denounce the Pharisees for their wrong priorities. In verse 42, the Phari...2025-03-0604 min
