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. Those who haven’t hidden themselves in Christ will find out that life is not a game. Our decisions have eternal consequences. How should we be living now to prepare for Christ’s return? 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. 

Luke 11:37-44

When Christians get offended we often call it “righteous anger.” But usually it’s only our personal preferences or sensibilities that have been violated. Today we’ll learn about how to identify hypocrisy in ourselves, and what to do about it on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.

Luke 11:27-36

How often have you heard someone say, “If God would just give me a sign, then I would believe in him”? Perhaps you’ve said it yourself. People have been asking for a sign to prove God’s existence for centuries. When skeptics asked Jesus to prove that he was God, he said their only sign would be the sign of Jonah. Find out what Jesus meant by that response on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.

Luke 11:14-26

It may look great to other people when we clean up our lives and live morally. But self-help methods end up hurting us in the end. The truth is we can’t help ourselves. When we try, we open ourselves to the attacks of the devil who loves to take possession of our souls. Tune in to Every Last Word as Dr. Ryken teaches that what we need is for Jesus Christ to take possession instead. 

Luke 11:1-4

Lord, teach us how to pray. The plea that resounds through history started with the disciples. So Jesus taught them. The one who was in constant communication with his Father, showed his disciples how they could have the same relationship.

Luke 10:38-42

They say if you want to get something done, give it to someone who’s already busy. Martha was that person. She knew how to get it done, and was great at serving. But somehow in her preparation for Jesus’ visit, she forgot the most important thing: the person she was serving. Tune in to Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken to find out more about serving Jesus. 

Luke 10:17-24

Jesus’ followers came to Him full of excitement because they where able to cast out demons. Jesus responds that they should be even more joyful because their names are written in the book of life. What does Jesus mean by this? Why shouldn’t his followers rejoice in casting out demons? Find out on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.

Luke 10:1-16

Jesus sends 72 of his followers ahead of Him to the towns he’ll soon visit. He tells them to take nothing with them – not even a change of underwear! This is a strange move for a King: to have his ambassadors rely on people’s hospitality while having nothing tangible to give in return. And some of his other instructions are strange as well. Tune in to Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken to hear more.  

Luke 9:51-62

The demands of Christ may be more than we think. We want to pencil Jesus into our schedules. But Jesus refuses to be squeezed in. He wants to have our whole lives. Today Dr. Philip Ryken wrestles with what it means to follow Christ – and not look back – on Every Last Word.

Luke 9:37-50

One of our primary jobs as Christians is to represent Christ. But instead of showing people who he is, we often get in the way. Today Dr. Philip Ryken exhorts us to examine our own lives and see how well we represent our Savior on 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.
