Teaching on Luke (Page 21)

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.”

Our Divinely-Laid Foundation

Luke 6:12-13 So, if you’re in Luke 6, I’m going to start reading there in verse 12. “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,…

Why Angels Rejoice

Luke 2:8-14 A holy angel came to say I bring you good news. Good news. That’s a single verb in the language there. It’s translated here in our text using four words, ”I bring you good news.” It’s the verb euangelizo. We transliterate that word into English as the word “evangelize.” It’s the origin of that term that we call ourselves the…

Ambush on the Sabbath

Luke 6:6-11 We’ve been reading about Jesus. He and his disciples have been shadowed by the Jewish leadership. All the while, he’s demonstrating his power, his strength, his might, his healing, his concern for people, his mercy. Jesus’ ministry has attracted the attention of the religious authorities in Jerusalem. The scribes and the Pharisees, they went out from Jerusalem and Judea to…

Lord of the Sabbath, Part 2

Luke 6:1-11 There in Luke Chapter six follow along as I read in Luke 6:1 through 11. “On a Sabbath, while he,” that is Jesus, ”was going through the grain fields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. But some of the Pharisees said, ‘Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on…

Lord of the Sabbath, Part 1

Luke 6:1-5 As we have been moving through Jesus’ Galilean ministry, if you remember, Jesus’ Galilean ministry started in chapter four, verse 14, and goes all the way through chapter nine, verse 50. But even in these early chapters, we have been seeing an increase of opposition from the Jewish leadership. As Jesus exercises his Messianic prerogatives, as he executes his Father’s…

Stop Trying to Make Jesus Fit

Luke 5:33-39 Levi’s banquet was attended by all kinds of tax collectors and what Luke calls “others,” and the scribes call them “sinners.” Jesus attended all that, and he stood up as well to defend his disciples in the face of religious critics. I love that section of Scripture because it shows how Jesus is the friend of sinners. And that brings…

The Despised, God Has Chosen

Luke 5:27-32 For those who profess Christ, if we have been attending church for very long, we’ve become accustomed to using Christianese. You know what I’m saying by that? Christian jargon. We refer to ourselves as unworthy sinners, talk amongst ourselves like that. We even use words like wretched, and totally depraved. Some Christians, when you ask them how they’re doing on…

The Full Authority of the Son of Man

Luke 5:21-26   We want to refresh our memories of the context here by reading that portion.  So follow along as I read what we covered last week in Luke Chapter 5 starting in verse 17. On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee…

The Greatest Miracle of All

Luke 5:17-20 Here in Luke 5, join me in verse 17 and follow along as I read the account. On one of those days, as he [as Jesus] was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem.  And the power of the Lord was with him to…

Complete Restoration for All Unclean, Part 2

Luke 5:14-16 Let’s begin by reading the passage, which we usually do.  Look at Luke Chapter 5, verse 12, “While [Jesus] was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy.  And when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, ‘Lord if you will, you can make me clean.’  And Jesus stretched out his hand…
