After the close of the short-term mission trip of the seventy-two, their excited and exultant report produced joy in Jesus' heart (this is the only Gospel text that specifically notes Jesus rejoicing). What made Jesus rejoice? What makes us rejoice?

Luke alone records today's text's broader preaching/healing mission in Jesus' ministry. It was occasion- and situation-specific; thus it can be difficult to make appropriate applications to our lives as Jesus-followers (i.e., disciples). But like all such biblical narratives, there are still authoritative lessons for us to hear and heed.

We left off in Luke at a major turning point; after Jesus has proclaimed His message and identified His disciples, He now turns His attention (literally, "sets His face") to the journey toward His Father's painful, redemptive purpose for Him in Jerusalem. Along the way, there are lessons for our journeys, too.

A new year - ripe with potential opportunities, perhaps fraught with dangers and loss. As followers of Jesus, we do well to stop, evaluate, and recommit. Let's reason together (Isaiah 1:18) and remember Jesus' warning: we should be careful how we listen (Luke 8:18).

Self-promotion. Self-preservation. Self-centeredness. Self-pity. It's all about me! That's the philosophy of our day and we are taught to believe that it will produce happiness. How's that working for you? Could there be another path?

In today's text the Apostle Peter, writing to Christ-followers living in a disapproving culture, echoes an OT concept familiar to Jews and to those of us who've been Eating This Book: what does it mean to live as a remnant in a foreign land? Is this cause for despair? Or can we see it as a prime opportunity, ripe with eternal benefits?

Faith is one of those Sunday School words: terms we Christ-followers throw around, mistakenly assuming others (and ourselves?) know precisely what we mean. God infused His Big Story with the necessity of faith from "first to last" (Romans 1:17). What does that mean for each of us? And what does that look like day-to-day?

When relationships with one another take a turn for the worst, what's your response? Do you tend to put up your defenses or run the other way? When you are the friend stuck in the middle, how do you handle the sticky situation? What does the Scripture say about situations like these? What gospel truths can we bring to bear on these real life situations?

In considering The Big Story, when we hear "God's People", we usually think of Israel. But now God is working in and through His new people, known as The Church. Familiar terms - what does all this mean for daily living?
