Teaching on Luke (Page 14)
To present Jesus as the answer to the needs and hopes of the human race. Addressed to a high-ranking Gentile official, Theophilus, the Gospel is intended to give certainty in the historical person of Jesus, who is called the “Son of Man” 26 times. The Gospel also serves as “Part 1” of a two-part history of the Christian faith written to the same individual, with the book of Acts serving as “Part 2.”
Reasons Jesus Rejoices, Part 2
Luke 10:21 Luke, chapter 10, continuing the study that we began last week of reasons that Jesus rejoices, we came out of 30 reasons to rejoice, and then we entered into reasons Jesus rejoices. So that’s Luke 10:21. And today is a study in Christology, a deep and high Christology, an understanding of the study of Christ and what the Scripture says the truth is about Christ. We’ve come really to a high-water mark here in Luke’s Gospel, a high-water…
Reasons Jesus Rejoices, Part 1
Luke 10:21 Turn in your Bibles, please, to Luke chapter 10. We are I hope as you can see from the music that Dr. Merry chose, and what we’ve been singing, and the scriptures that have been chosen this morning, that we are preparing your minds and hearts to wade into some deep, deep waters this morning in Luke chapter 10. It has been a joy for me to anticipate this section of Scripture, and now that it’s arrived, I…
Reasons We Rejoice, Part 2
Luke 10:19-20 In the tenth chapter of Luke, that’s where we are. Just to bring us up to speed, the seventy-two disciples have returned from the mission Jesus sent them out to accomplish, going before him two-by-two into all the, cities, villages and towns where he himself was about to go in Judea and Perea. And they have now successfully completed the assignment that Jesus gave them to do, and now, filled with joy, they’ve returned, and they are excited…
Reasons We Rejoice, Part 1
Luke 10:17-18 Luke 10:17, and we’re getting into another section, here, which is a very joyful section of this tenth chapter. Jesus appointed seventy-two disciples, as we’ve been studying. He sent them ahead of him two-by-two into every town and place where he himself was about to go, and you need to realize that that was not the first time that they’d been with Jesus. He’d been training them for many months—probably a year or more—throughout Galilee; and here in…
The Woe of Kingdom Rejection
Luke 10:12-16 We’ve been studying the sending of the seventy-two, so if you’re in Luke 10 (that’s where you should be), we’re gonna wrap up today Jesus’ instructions to the seventy-two that he sent out ahead of him as kingdom heralds, to go before him and announce his soon arrival to all the towns and the places where he intended to go in Judea and Perea. Last week we saw the implications of the message that these messengers proclaimed for…
The Kingdom Has Come
Luke 10:8-12 We’re in Luke chapter 10 this morning, Jesus’ instructions to the seventy-two missionaries, whom he sent before him into Judea, so I’d ask you to turn there in your Bibles. We’re going to be studying that text and seeing in this text that we’re going to cover, these verses in particular, the weight of significance and the gravity of Gospel preaching. You need to understand that as we preach the Gospel, as we call sinners to Christ, we…
Legitimate Gospel Partnerships
Luke 10:5-7 Well, as we turn our attention to the Word of God this morning, we’re returning to our study in Luke chapter 10. You can turn there for the reading of the text. And while you’re turning there, I’ll just mention in verse 1, Luke writes and tells us about the mission, “The Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.”…
The Mission Mindset
Luke 10:2-4 We are in the 10th chapter of Luke’s gospel, so you’ll want to go ahead and turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 10 verse 1, of Jesus sending of the 72 missionaries. And we’re going to be, begin by reading the first 12 verses of that chapter together. And you’re noticing probably, a number of different ways that we’re saying it’s time for our church to get out there and spread the gospel and bring the gospel…
The Sending of the Seventy-Two
Luke 10:1 We come to the tenth chapter of Luke’s Gospel, entering a new section here in Luke chapter 10, so if you’re not there in your Bibles already, you’re already behind. Get over to Luke chapter 10. All right? We’re going to be, begin by reading a significant portion of that chapter. There are two major divisions in this chapter 10 of Luke: verses 1-24, Jesus sends the seventy, and then in 25-37, there’s the parable of the Good…
Christ’s Call to Would-Be Disciples
Luke 9:57-62 I’d like to invite you to take your Bibles and turn to Luke, chapter 9. It is such a joy to be back with you and especially in Luke’s Gospel, Luke chapter 9. We’re going to be in the, as I said, the last part of Luke 9. We’re actually finishing up that ninth chapter, hopefully today, and be back into chapter 10 next week, a very pivotal time. There’ve been a few times in our study of…
