 1 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 01) Introduction 4105 In the first part of his introduction, Ed Miller presents Luke in the context of the Bible. As the only Gentile author, Luke offers a unique perspective and Ed begins by outlining six main themes. He begins with Jesus' own pronouncement of Himself as the Son of Man, continues with His compassion for the downtrodden and through His relationship with women and children, He is presented as an impartial God who is truly the Saviour of all mankind. Ed Miller Luke_01_Introduction.mp3 Luke 1:1-4, Acts 1:1
 2 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 01) Introduction Part 2 4105 Continuing with his themes he has outlined in Luke, Ed Miller shows how Luke is a gospel that focuses on missions and evangelism, for Jesus truly came for all. It has also been referred to as the "happiest gospel", for there is much on joy and thanksgiving. Furthermore, Luke writes simply, with many stories of contrast and finally, he is the author that mentions the Holy Spirit the most and of how Jesus as man lived completely in the power of the Holy Spirit. Both parts of this introduction will certainly whet the appetite to study and drink in this unique gospel. Ed Miller Luke_01_IntroductionA.mp3 Luke 3:6, Luke 19:10, 1 Corinthians 15:45-47
 3 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 01) Introduction B 4105 Luke's Gospel emphasizes certain themes about the Lord Jesus Christ that the other Gospel writers do not. The Gospel of Luke has been coined "The Happiest Gospel" as it takes you to the highest joy of all. Jesus Christ, as the Son of Man, is portrayed as what prayer and the Holy Spirit meant to Him as He walked on earth. Ed Miller Luke_01_IntroductionB.mp3 Luke
 4 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 02) Zacharias 4105 What were the first words God spoke after His silence of 400 years? Zacharias the priest was the first to hear the Word of the Lord, yet despite his righteousness, he chose to be in unbelief. Ed Miller begins his study in Chapter 1 with contrasting Zacharias' unbelief with Mary's faith. With gentleness, he reminds all believers how easily we can fall into unbelief regardless of how close we walk with Him. Ed Miller Luke_02_Zacharias.mp3 Luke 1, Malachi 4:5-6
 5 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 03) Unbelief & Faith Part 1 4105 Ed Miller continues his study of unbelief vs. faith by re-emphasizing some key points. . With certainty, we will all experience moments of unbelief. Yet, be assured that God's will is not hindered by our unbelief, but it can rob us of the blessing. But, in hope, we can always turn to Him that continues to form simple, childlike faith in us as we follow our Saviour, our Teacher and the Hope of all mankind. Ed Miller Luke_03_Unbelief_Faith.mp3 Luke 1
 6 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 04) Unbelief & Faith Part 2 4105 In contrast to Zacharias' unbelief, he now presents Mary's faith and shows her to be a perfect model of the Church. She responds to the angel's pronouncement with child-like faith, with complete and total surrender and is a picture of humility. She is trusting that God the Father will form Christ in her. In the same way, His Church is to surrender and believe that He, by the power of the Holy Spirit, will produce the same miracle of forming the Christian life in us. Ed Miller Luke_04_Unbelief_Faith.mp3
 7 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 05) Unbelief Turned To Faith 4105 The record indicates Zecharias was not only deaf but mute. Why this particular judgment? It's the bitterness of living by sight. Zecharias also illustrates what happens every time unbelief turns to faith: silence turns to praise, simplicity, and restoration to higher usefulness. Ed Miller Luke_05_UnbeliefTunredToFaith.mp3 Luke 1:57ff
 8 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 06) The Songs of Mary & Zacharias 4105 Ed closes out chapter one pointing out Luke's strong emphasis on the Holy Spirit. John the Baptizer pictures ministry, beginning with the Holy Spirit and being a forerunner for Jesus to follow after. Mary is a picture of the Church and missions--bringing Christ to the world. Elizabeth illustrates fellowship and Zacharias the restoration the Lord works after a time of unbelief. Ed Miller Luke_06_TheSongsOfMaryZacharias.mp3 Luke 1
 9 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 07) The Greatness of His Coming 4105 Our over familiarity with the Christmas story can make the powerful truth of it become "la la la". Brother Ed shows the picture of God's infinite condescension in becoming a baby--the Bread of Life (Jesus) being laid out in a dish (manger) in the House of Bread (Bethlehem) for anyone to partake! No less than 100 million angels worshiped the Son as He made His first appearance into the world as the Son of all mankind. Ed Miller Luke_07_TheGreatnessOfHisComing.mp3 Luke 2:1-24, Hebrews 1:6
 10 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 08) He Comes To Seekers 4105 Jesus came for all mankind, both Jew and Gentile, but in a special way to those who seek Him. The shepherds represent people who get the light of God from heaven and run to Jesus. Simeon illustrates the role of the Holy Spirit in any seeking, God's providential timing, and the assurance that no one who seeks Christ dies without Christ. Ed Miller Luke_08_HeComesToSeekers.mp3 Luke 2:8-20, Luke 2:25-32
 11 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 09) Results of His Coming 4105 What were the results of Jesus' first coming? It was great joy (the shepherds), contentment in life and tranquility in death (Simeon), rejection (Mary) and testimony and witness (Anna). Joseph and Mary losing Jesus at Passover, one of the most religious times of worship and fellowship, serves as a sober reminder that we too can get preoccupied with other things and lose fellowship with Him. Ed Miller Luke_09_ResultsOfHisComing.mp3 Luke 2
 12 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 10) Introduction to Chapter 3 4105 Although John the Baptizer was a fulfillment of Elijah, the Lord Jesus spoke of the fulfillment of Elijah yet coming. In light of future prophecy, Ed Miller points out, "Everything God says about the future is designed to teach you the Lord now." John the Baptizer as a forerunner provides a model of Christian ministry in that the best we can do is to prepare the way for the Lord to follow. Ed Miller Luke_10_IntroChapter3.mp3 Luke 3
 13 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 11) Baptism of Christ 4105 John the Baptizer as the first forerunner was preacher of the law with a hot message of judgment to get everyone on level ground--to stand before Christ as guilty sinners. Why did the Holy Spirit come in the picture of a dove at Jesus' baptism? How does Jesus' genealogy underscore God's genius in the miracle of the virgin birth? Brother Ed labors to exalt Jesus as the Son of all mankind as he answers these questions and more! Ed Miller Luke_11_BaptismOfChrist.mp3 Luke 3
 14 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 12) Introduction To Temptations Part 1 4105 The temptations in the wilderness served as the final preparation of our Lord Jesus. This section is filled with mystery, yet has clear principles for us to grasp. Brother Ed warns in closing that we're not to try to imitate Jesus in how He conquered temptation, but rather to appropriate Him, which is far higher. Ed Miller Luke_12_IntroToTemptations.mp3 Luke 4:1-13, Matthew 4:1-12, Mark 1:12-13
 15 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 13) Introduction To Temptations Part 2 4105 In the first temptation, Satan tried to get Jesus to do something independently from His Father. Likewise Satan tries to get us to "turn rocks into bread" by the sin of anxiety--trying to help God in what only God can do. The real issue was not about the bread but about the test to doubt the love of God. Ed Miller Luke_13_IntroToTemptations.mp3 Luke 4:1-4
 16 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 14) Conclusion of Temptations 4105 The nature of Satan’s temptations is to get us to doubt God's love, sufficiency and faithfulness. The devil tempts with the invented and imaginary glory of the world and also in the spiritual places--the temple (the Church). Many have caved into the spiritual temptations, demanding a miracle from God or trusting God insensibly. "Satan tries to tempt us," says brother Ed, "by causing us to act apart from a clear word from God." Ed Miller Luke_14_ConclusionOfTemptations.mp3 Luke 4:5-13
 17 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 15) Beginning Of Ministry 4105 Jesus began His ministry with an announcement of Him being the prophetic fulfillment of the Jewish Year of Jubilee, a celebration of emancipation from slavery and debt. How does God heal the brokenhearted? Who are the people who have a claim on Jesus today? Ed answers these questions and more about Jesus, the friend of all mankind. Ed Miller Luke_15_BeginningOfMinistry.mp3 Luke 4:14-30
 18 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 16) Overview: Chapters 4-9 4105 Ed Miller gives an overview of the Lord's ministry, especially noting how He had authority over demons, disease and death. The miracles themselves are instructive to spiritual realities. In the healing of the fever of Peter's mother-in-law, the secret of Christian ministry is shown by the Lord touching you in your weakness and giving you supernatural strength to serve. Ed Miller Luke_16_OverviewChapt4-9.mp3 Luke 4:38-39
 19 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 17) Chapter 5: Fish & Leprosy 4105 The miraculous catch of fish is God's illustration of soul-winning: it is a mighty miracle of God. Your responsibility is not to win the lost; your responsibility is just to obey Jesus. Leprosy is a picture of sin and the cleansing which followed illustrates Jesus' willingness and ability to cleanse sin. The priestly examination of a cleansed leper signifies that it is not our verbal declaration that confirms our cleansing but others who watch our lives. Ed Miller Luke_17_Chap5_FishLeprosy.mp3 Luke 5:1-14, Mark 1:16-17
 20 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 18) Chapter 5: Palsy 4105 All of the miracles are really parables, a physical illustration of the spiritual side in the Christian life. Brother Ed shows that when we feel paralyzed and helpless as Christian, it just means we haven't entered into our forgiveness. "The more we enter into our forgiveness," he says, "the freer we become." Many other truths are drawn from this account, such as an expose of the Pharisees, obstacles of coming to Jesus, and evangelism. Ed Miller Luke_18_Chap5Palsy.mp3 Luke 5:17-24
 21 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 19) Levi's Banquet & The Grainfield 4105 What is the Christian life? The text from Luke's gospel illustrates it as a wedding (not a funeral) and the joy of strolling with Jesus in the grain fields and allowing Him to satisfy your hunger. Christianity is not a bunch of rules and regulations of the legalists who think it's all about what you believe and how well you behave. It's Who you know and how much you enjoy Him. Ed Miller Luke_19LevisBanquetTheGrainfield.mp3 Luke 5:27-6:5
 22 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 20) The Withered Hand 4105 The spiritual truth behind the healing of the withered hand is this: When God gives a command, He also gives the enablement to perform that command. "It is as I attempt to obey God," says brother Ed, "that I find the resources to obey God." Our two big needs are to see a bigger God and ourselves as helpless Christians. Ed Miller Luke_20_TheWitheredHand.mp3 Luke 6:6-16
 23 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 21) The Centurion and The Widow Of Nain 4105 The Sermon on the Plain describes what my life will increasingly look like when Jesus has undisputed lordship. Go after Christ, not the rules, and the good fruit will be produced. In the account of the widow of Nain, Christ is lord over man's most unsolvable problem: death. If Jesus can solve the greatest problem, we can be sure He can solve every lesser problem in our lives! Ed Miller Luke_21_TheCentrianWidowOfNain.mp3 Luke 6:17-7:17
 24 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 22) Doubts Of John The Baptist 4105 Some lessons we can learn here is that when we have doubts, send them to Jesus. We should also never judge the reality by outward appearances. Though Jesus never visited John in prison, He had a high regard for him, and we can expect in our trials at times not to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant," down here. There is a difference between doubting (struggling faith) and disbelieving, and the good news is that God accepts struggling faith as faith. Ed Miller Luke_22_DoubtsOfJohnTheBaptist.mp3 Luke 7:18-39
 25 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 23) Anointing Jesus' Feet 4105 How can we love the Lord Jesus and be freed from a cold heart? It's by entering into how much we've been forgiven. Brother Ed shows from the devotion and love of the sinful woman how it is impossible to embarrass the Lord and you don't have to defend yourself of the criticisms of others. Ed Miller Luke_23AnnointingJesusFeet.mp3 Luke 7:36-50
 26 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 24) Chapter 8: Sower 4105 Chapter 8 signifies a transition from the Galilean ministry and Jesus' teaching style of parables to both reveal and conceal. The ones who understand Christ's parables are not the unbelievers nor the believers but those who come to the Lord for an explanation. The parable of the sower is all about our receptivity to the Word of God, as well as an expectation in ministry that much will be unproductive. Ed Miller Luke_24_Chap8Sower.mp3 Luke 8:1-18
 27 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 25) Stormy Sea 4105 Ed Miller No_25_Luke_Stormy_Sea.mp3
 28 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 26) The Clincher Miracles 4105 The final three miracles of Luke chapter 8 are grouped together as an organic unit, showing all of mankind (man, woman & child), extreme cases (strongest enemy, smallest amount of faith, man's most unsolveable problem), and other observations. Most importantly, this grouping reveals our Lord Jesus as the Mighty Deliverer, the Sensitive Savior, and the Lord of Life. Ed Miller Luke_26_TheClincherMiracles.mp3 Luke 8:26-56
 29 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 27) Sending Out of the Twelve 4105 Jesus sends the twelve forth on a 'graduate course' in ministry that lasted six months to a year. To defuse the 'look what we did' mentality, Christ sets up the feeding of five thousand to drive the message home that they didn't do it, but it was Him doing it through them. The twelve baskets of crumbs gathered up teach us that Jesus is more than enough for what we will ever face! Ed Miller Luke_27_SendingOut12Diciples.mp3 Luke 9:1-17
 30 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 28) The Transfiguration 4105 The Galilian ministry. The central theme is the transfiguration. Ed Miller Luke_28_TheTransfiguration.mp3 Luke 9:18-50
 31 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 29) The Judean Ministry 4105 This Judean section covers one and a half years, emphasizing teaching, moving towards Jerusalem, the cross and training the disciples to go to the cross. The Sons of Thunder wanting to call fire down on the Samaritans illustrates our need for God to change our anti-missionary heart to a missionary one. Loyalty to Christ without His spirit is a dangerous one. Ed Miller Luke_29_JudeanMinistry.mp3 Luke 9:51-62
 32 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 30) Chapter 10: Missions 4105 One of the greatest chapters on missions, Luke 10 teaches us not to rejoice in what we do but in Who we know. The point of the parable of the Good Samaritan is not, "Help your neighbor," but one of character: who are you? Mary becomes the example of the gospel by sitting at Jesus' feet as a receiver. To Martha, Jesus was the honored guest; to Mary, He was the host. Ed Miller Luke_30_Chap10Missions.mp3 Luke 10
 33 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 31) The Lord's Prayer 4105 The key point of the Lord's prayer is relationship, and Ed draws out how the various relationships are underscored, such as Father-child, holy God-sinner, King-subject, and so on. As the model prayer progresses, God gets bigger and bigger and man gets smaller and smaller. In prayer we pour out our hearts before the Lord, expressing our longings to see Him and to depend upon Him for everything. Ed Miller Luke_31_TheLordsPrayer.mp3 Luke 11:1-4, Matthew 6:9-13
 34 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 32) Prayer: Father and Friend 4105 The parable of the friend at midnight and the father on prayer are not comparisons but contrasts. God is not a sleepy, old grouch but an infinitely better Friend who never says, "Don't bother Me." The message of these parables isn't persevering in prayer but rather having a boldness, confidence and assurance to pour out your heart to your Friend and Father any time day or night! Ed Miller Luke_32PrayerFatherAndFriend.mp3 Luke 11:1-13
 35 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 33) Outworkings of Prayer 4105 Jesus is infinitely stronger than Satan, and He casts him out by the finger of God, which is the Spirit of God. The one who gets the Holy Spirit is the one who asks for Him. The blessedness of the Virgin Mary after the natural is not to be compared to the infinitely higher blessedness of being related to Jesus through the Word of God. Ed Miller Luke_33_OutworkingsOfPrayer.mp3 Luke 11:14-29
 36 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 34) The Sign of Jonah 4105 Ed ties together the sign of Jonah to the resurrected Christ living in us in connection with this great prayer chapter. If we can have a single eye on the Lord--not on many things like missions and family and witnessing--then our whole body will be full of light and the world will see Jesus in us--the sign of Jonah. What the world needs is more Christians praying the Lord's Prayer in reality. Ed Miller Luke_34_TheSignOfJonah.mp3 Luke 11:29-54
 37 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 35) Characteristics of Life 4105 What is real life? It is the Holy Spirit's union with the human spirit. These passages unveil what kind of life a believer in union with Jesus will have, such as freedom from greed and anxiety and fear. The more you enter into His kingship (not by trying not to be greedy or anxious), the more all of these characteristics of life will fall into place. Ed Miller Luke_35_CharacteristicsOfLife.mp3 Luke 12:1-34
 38 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 36) Dressed In Readiness 4105 What will one's life look like who is experiencing Life and focused on eternity? Ed debunks some erroneous views of readiness being synonomous with Christian busyness. My lamp is lit when I'm being faithful to the stewardship I've been given. The message concludes with the miracle of the humped-over woman as an invitation to Sabbath rest in the Lord to walk uprightly before Him. Ed Miller Luke_36_DressedInReadiness.mp3 Luke 12:35-13:17
 39 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 37) Chapter 13: Kingdom of God 4105 "The Lord can undo in a moment of time," Ed points out from the miracle of the bent over woman, "years of bondage." The real message is not to try to be upright by works but to let the Lord touch you. The next two parables (the mustard seed & the leaven) illustrate how the kingdom of God works. Though leaven is often a picture of sin and corruption, in its context here is a symbol of the Holy Spirit that keeps on working through the whole "lump of dough" until it's completely transformed. Ed Miller Luke_37_KingdomOfGod-Chap13.mp3 Luke 13:10-21
 40 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 38) Kingdom Of God - Conclusion 4105 The kingdom of God teachings close with a sermon on the narrow door whose point is, "Don't worry about how many are saved; you just make sure you're ready." Seekers find the Lord--always! Jesus healing the man with drospy is the climax of the Sabbath miracles picturing man being held and embraced by God. Ed Miller Luke_38_KingdomOfGodConclusion.mp3 Luke 13:16-14:6
 41 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 39) Salvation - What It Means To Man 4105 God's salvation is unconditional grace, set in contrast to the works-mentality of the religion of the Pharisees. The invitation to God's banquet is to the humble (not the proud) and reveals the generous heart of the Lord. The parable of counting the cost and the king going to battle contrasts once again the religion of the Pharisees of bills and fights with exlusive devotion to Jesus to supply all the resources we need to build and every victory in the fight. Ed Miller Luke_39_Salvation-WhatItMeansToMan.mp3 Luke 14
 42 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 40) Salvation - What It Means To God 4105 The joy of God is the great message of this three part parable. Ed shares the beautiful truths of the shepherd seeking and the woman lighting a lamp and seeking, but also points out the way the Father seeks. Two ways the Father seeks is He allows the son to go and waste his inheritance and sends a famine "to lower the bottom." The great love of God is pictured here in the only place in the whole Bible where we see Him running. Ed Miller Luke_40_Salvation-WhatItMeansToGod.mp3 Luke 15
 43 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 41) Chapter 16: Relationship 4105 Luke 16 is one of the most 'thorny' chapters of the Bible, but the summary of it is relationship. Ed points out four keys to help understand the parable of the unjust steward and how it underscores that relationships--with God and real friends--are more important than money. Ed Miller Luke_41_Relationship-Chap16.mp3 Luke 15:3-7, Matthew 18:12-15, Luke 16
 44 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 42) Encouraging Faith 4105 Verses 1-10 of Luke 17 serve as a warning of being a stumbling block of discouraging faith in the little ones (Christians) that trust in Jesus. The important thing about faith is the Object of your faith; faith lays hold of God who does impossible things! Ed shows from the healing of the ten lepers that the one who returned emphasizes the heart obedience that blesses Christ as contrasted with the nine who only followed the letter of the command. Ed Miller Luke_42_EncouragingFaith.mp3 Luke 17:1-19
 45 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 43) The Unjust Judge 4105 The way Jesus comes is the way He always comes--by revelation. Ed shares how "one of the days" of the Son of Man differs from THE day of the Lord. Just like those common ordinary days of Noah and Lot, as you're just doing the most common thing, Christ will dawn on you. The parable of the unjust judge teaches us always to trust and look at God's heart, not His actions, and by misjudging Him end up fainting. Ed Miller Luke_43_TheUnjustJudge.mp3 Luke 17:20-18:8
 46 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 44) The Mercy of God 4105 The parable of the Pharisee and the publican teaches that those who trust in themselves will not be justified. The infants brought to the Lord Jesus pictured the helpless dependence of those fall helplessly into the arms of Christ for salvation. The rich young ruler demonstrates the hopelessness of works to be saved, but is a mighty miracle of God, as miraculous as a camel (the largest animal of Palestine) going through the eye of a needle (the smallest opening). Ed Miller Luke_44_TheMercyOfGod.mp3 Luke 18:9-30
 47 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 45) Bartimaeus 4105 The disciples' confusion over such clear words about Jesus' suffering and death shows us that clear words are not clear words without illumination. The healing of Bartimaeus serves as a climactic miracle highlighting that point. Among many observations of this incident, Jesus gives eyesight to those who seek it. Ed Miller Luke_45_Bartimaeus.mp3 Luke 18:18-43
 48 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 46) Zacchaeus 4105 The story of Zacchaeus summarizes God's salvation is three wonderful ways. First, salvation is God seeking man, not man seeking God. Secondly, salvation means a radical transformation, like this chief tax collector's public confession to restore fourfold. Lastly, real salvation is intimate fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Ed Miller Luke_46_Trinity-Zacchaeus.mp3 Luke 19:1-10
 49 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 47) Parable of The Pound 4105 Ed analyzes the parable of the pound (or mina) as contrasted with Matthew's parable of the talent as the summary of Jesus' teaching ministry. The most important part of the second coming is not the second coming but on the One who is coming again. Ed Miller Luke_47_Trinity-ParableOfThePound.mp3 Luke 19:11-27
 50 New Testament Books Gospels Luke (Luke 48) Chapter 19: Palm Sunday 4105 In the Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we see both the cross and the crown. In several ways it truly was a triumphal entry (though veiled), for in foretaste it pictured Jesus as the Lord of the universe, the one who tames creation, and His coming as the King. Yet it also was a "non-triumphal" entry, as evidenced by His appearing on a humble donkey and His anguished weeping over the city. Ed Miller Luke_48_PalmSunday-Luke19.mp3 Luke 19:28-44
