Teaching on Luke (Page 15)

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.”

The Exclusive Glory of Jesus Christ

Luke 9:32-36 Open your Bibles and turn to Luke 9. We’re going to be returning, here, to Luke’s account of the transfiguration, Luke 9:28-36. We actually started this account last week and learned about the setting for the transfiguration. We heard about the unveiling of Christ’s divine glory, the meeting then, that took place up on the mountain between Jesus, Moses, and…

The Unveiling of Jesus Christ

Luke 9:28-31 Open your Bibles to Luke chapter 9, and verse 28. Luke 9:28. We’ve come to a place in Luke’s Gospel of particular wonder, and God, here, by the Spirit, is giving us a brief look behind the veil to see the glory of Jesus Christ. That’s what’s on display, here, in Luke 9:28-36. So without further ado, let’s get right…

Why We Follow, Part 2

Luke 9:24-27 Let’s open our Bibles to Luke 9:23. Today we hope to finish studying this really challenging, challenging call to discipleship that’s been issued by Jesus Christ.

The Deliverance of Discipleship

Luke 9:23 Back on January 20th, we got an introduction to this most pivotal text, Luke 9:23. If you’re not there already, I’d ask you to turn there in your Bibles, Luke 9:23. We want to return, there, today. It’s probably fair to say that we’ve been arrested by this text. I certainly have. In fact, I kind of feel like Peter…

The Scandalous Offense of the Cross

Luke 9:23 Please take your Bibles and turn to Luke chapter 9. We come in our study of God’s Word this morning to one of the most defining and one of the most descriptive verses in the Christian faith. It really is a verse that captures in a nutshell exactly what it means to be a Christian, it’s in Luke 9, verse…

Six Marks of the Messiah’s Mission

Luke 9:21-22 Well we are in Luke 9 this morning so I would invite you to turn your bibles to Luke 9.

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand, Part 2

Luke 9:14-17 Luke’s Gospel very much prepares us to understand the significance of the Lord Jesus Christ and his coming to this Earth, to teach us the way to God, to be reconciled to God. That’s exclusively through Jesus Christ. And we find in this story, this feeding of the five thousand, in Luke chapter 9, we find yet another, more evidence…

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand, Part 1

Feeding of the 5000, you’ll find that in Luke 9:10 to 17. This is the only miracle, apart from the resurrection itself, the only miracle that is…
