Teaching on Luke (Page 20)

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.”

Jesus Ministers to the Masses

Luke 6:17-19 This happens to be the fourth pause that Luke has provided us, which is sort of a short summary and allows us to stop and ponder. Allows us to look at the big picture, reflect, before we wade deeply into the waters that are ahead in the Sermon on the Mount. We’ve just been through a study of the Apostles.…

The Twelve: The Triumph of Divine Justice

Luke 6:16-19 The last of the Apostles whom we covered just last week was Judas Iscariot. Judas Iscariot, many of you know, is the one who betrayed Jesus Christ. He delivered him over to the sinful, religious authorities of the day so they could try him and put him to death. And because of his notorious treachery, Judas Iscariot has gone down…

The Twelve: Judas Iscariot

Luke 6:16 Perhaps you’ve never thought about it before, but it’s remarkable to note that our Lord intentionally and prayerfully, our Lord chose Judas Iscariot to be one of the twelve Apostles. And our Lord knew full well exactly what he was getting into with Judas. I want you to notice in Luke Chapter 6, verse 12: “In these days he went…

The Twelve: Lessons from the Lesser Knowns

Luke 6:12-16 Today, we’re going to talk about some of the lesser known Apostles. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but we started our study of the Apostles in the apostolic ministry back in January—end of January. And as we came in our study of Luke, we wanted to come to this portion here and pay special attention to this list of…

The Twelve: The Sons of Thunder

Luke 6:12-16 Today we’re looking at the two sons of Zebedee, James and John. Those two brothers, James and John, they belong to that first group of Apostles, that inner circle, and that included two other brothers, Simon and Andrew. And as you might imagine, two sets of brothers knowing each other, knowing each other in Galilee and Capernaum, in the fishing…

The Twelve: Solidifying the Rock, Part 3

Luke 6:14 Simon was a Galilean fisherman. He was actually the owner of a small fishing business that he operated on the Sea of Galilee, along with his brother Andrew, two of his friends, the two sons of Zebedee, James and John. Simon was not, not a man who was who had been considered in his day an educated man, though he…

The Twelve: Solidifying the Rock, Part 2

Luke 6:12-16 Luke 6:12 to 16 goes like this, “In these days he,” that is Jesus, “went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named Apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John,…

The Twelve: Solidifying the Rock, Part 1

Luke 6:14 So this is sort of a character study, kind of a meditative study on Peter, and we’ll cover some of the other Apostle as well—not in as much detail as we will Peter, but we will definitely take some time on Peter. I’d like to introduce our study by starting with a monumental moment in Peter’s life and to look…

The True Nature of Apostolic Ministry

Luke 6:12-16 We talked about, last week, how Jesus labored through the previous night in prayer, having sensed the direction of divine providence. That God intended to pour a new foundation, for a new temple, for the people of God. This temple was not to be constructed with stone and mortar. It’s not to be layered with silver and gold on the…
