Pastor Scotty outlines four essential actions for fathers building a lasting legacy: Love unconditionally Confess when you fall short Share God's Word and lovingly discipline Have your children's attention Believers are encouraged to seek God's forgiveness, walk humbly, and model a genuine faith for the next generation to follow.

From Luke 11:14-26, Jesus exposes the reality of two opposing kingdoms and calls every person to choose where their allegiance lies. As Jesus casts out a demon, religious leaders accuse Him of working by Satan's power, prompting Jesus to reveal the absurdity of a divided kingdom and the certainty that the kingdom of God had come upon them. Pastor Scotty Brown explains that Satan has a real but limited kingdom, while Jesus is the stronger One who overcomes, delivers, and brings true freedom. There is no neutral ground. We either gather with Christ or scatter against Him. This message urges believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit, pursue Christ intentionally, and live as witnesses who bring others from darkness into God's kingdom. Key Scripture References Luke 11:14-26 - Casting out a demon; choosing a kingdom Matthew 12:22-30 - A divided kingdom; blasphemy warning Acts 1:8 - Power to be witnesses Proverbs 14:30 - Jealousy rots the bones James 3:16 - Disorder where jealousy reigns Proverbs 27:4 - The danger of jealousy Ephesians 6:12 - Wrestling against spiritual powers 1 John 5:19 - The world under the sway of the wicked one 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 - Minds blinded by the god of this age Luke 22:31 - Satan asks to sift Peter 1 John 3:8 - Christ came to destroy the devil's works Hebrews 2:14-15 - Jesus defeats the power of death Matthew 12:30 - No neutrality with Christ https://outwestbible.church/ https://www.facebook.com/outwestbiblechurchif/

In Luke 11:1-4, Jesus gives His disciples a model for prayer that shapes both our relationship with God and our daily walk with Him. Pastor Scotty Brown explains how this prayer teaches believers to approach God as Father, honor His holy name, seek His kingdom and will first, and depend on Him day by day. The message emphasizes prayer as a posture of humility, trust, and obedience rather than empty repetition. Listeners are challenged to forgive as they have been forgiven, rely on God's daily provision, and seek deliverance from temptation and the evil one. As a new year begins, this teaching calls believers to deepen their prayer life and live with readiness, faith, and wholehearted dependence on the Lord. Key Scripture References Luke 11:1-4 - The model prayer taught by Jesus Luke 17:20-21 - The kingdom of God within you John 3:1-8 - The necessity of the new birth Romans 14:17 - The nature of God's kingdom 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 - God's will: rejoice, pray, give thanks Hebrews 10:10 - Sanctified by the will of God 1 Peter 2:15; 3:9 - Doing good and responding with blessing Psalm 37:23-26 - God's faithful daily provision Matthew 6:14-15 - Forgiving others as we are forgiven Matthew 18:21-35 - The unforgiving servant Proverbs 4:14-15 - Avoiding the path of evil 2 Timothy 2:22 - Flee youthful lusts, pursue righteousness Matthew 6:33 - Seek first the kingdom of God https://outwestbible.church. https://www.facebook.com/outwestbiblechurchif

In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus responds to a lawyer's question about eternal life by exposing the limits of self-justification and redefining what it means to truly love one's neighbor. Pastor Scotty Brown walks through the encounter between Jesus and the lawyer, showing how eternal life is not earned by religious effort but revealed through a transformed heart that chooses mercy. Through the familiar account of the Samaritan, the message highlights compassion as a deliberate choice, not a feeling, and calls believers to give time, resources, and care to those in need. Listeners are encouraged to move beyond excuses, live out genuine love, and reflect Christ through merciful, sacrificial action rooted in faith. Key Scripture References Luke 10:25-37 - The lawyer, eternal life, and the Samaritan's compassion Deuteronomy 6:5 - Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, and strength Leviticus 19:18 - Loving your neighbor as yourself Romans 5:1 - Justified by faith; peace with God Galatians 2:16 - Justification by faith, not works of the law 1 Corinthians 15:50 - Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom 1 John 3:17 - Love expressed through action and generosity Matthew 25:35-40 - Serving Christ by serving others John 14:1-3 - Jesus prepares a place for His people Micah 6:8 - Doing justly, loving mercy, walking humbly https://outwestbible.church/ https://www.facebook.com/OutwestBibleChurchiF/

Pastor Scotty unpacks Luke 10:1–20 as Jesus appoints and sends 70 (or 72) “ambassadors” two by two, calling them to pray for laborers, go as lambs among wolves, bring peace, heal the sick, and announce, “The kingdom of God has come near.” He explains how households and cities either receive peace or face accountability—dust shaken off, and woes to Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum for rejecting greater light. When the 70 return rejoicing over authority, Jesus cautions against pride—“I saw Satan fall”—and redirects their joy to what matters most: your names written in heaven. Be encouraged to make yourself available, keep the message Christ-centered, trust God’s provision as you go, and rejoice in salvation over power.
