The Birth of Jesus Christ, Part 1

Luke 2:1-3 Well, we are into Chapter 2 of Luke’s Gospel, so please turn in your Bibles there. As we look at Luke Chapter 2 starting in verse 1, it is fitting here at the end of the year as we’re looking ahead to another Christmas season that we come into this portion of Scripture. We’re going to end the year celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and I’d like to begin this morning by just…

Tender Mercy in the Rising Son

Luke 1:78-80 Well, listen, as we turn our attention to God’s Word this morning, go ahead and open your Bibles to that final section in Luke’s Gospel, chapter 1. We’re going to be wrapping up. Hey, believe it or not, we’re going to be wrapping up Chapter 1 today. Yes! It’s been such a joy. There’s a sense, really a sense for me—I don’t know about you—but it’s a sense in which if it weren’t for what’s coming next, which…

Where Manhood Began

Genesis 1:26 to 2:24 As we turn our attention to our subject for this evening we want to ask and answer a very fundamental question here in our first session.  What is manhood?  If there has ever been a time in our nation’s history we have lacked clarity about that question that we’ve groped in the darkness to find an answer it’s now.  Paul commanded the Corinthian church, 1 Corinthians 16:13, “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like…

Plowing Fallow Ground

Luke 1:76-77 We’re getting into God’s Word this morning. Open your Bibles to Luke’s Gospel once again. We are at the end of the first chapter where we’ve slowed down just a bit to focus our attention on Zechariah’s Song. What we’re about to study as we get into Chapter 2 and following, throughout the rest of Luke’s Gospel, is quite weighted. It’s holy. And our society, our culture, our American culture—we’re not used to weighty. We’re not used to…
