  • The King's Messengers
    Jul 11 2025

    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.

  • Five Loaves, Two Fish, and Twelve Baskets
    May 30 2025

    Luke 9:10-17

    What is impossible for man is easy for God. The disciples learned this first hand when Jesus commanded them to feed five thousand hungry men. After insisting that they couldn’t possibly achieve such a feat, they watched Jesus simply break bread and have it multiply in his hands. But Jesus did much more that, He taught his disciples some extremely valuable lessons. Hear about those lessons on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.
