Teaching on Luke (Page 24)

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 First Words of the Divine Child

Luke 2:39-49 We have been enjoying a rich, rich study of the infancy narratives about Jesus as a baby, and here, we’re going to see this morning, as a little boy. Luke has been preparing us in these narratives, these first two chapters, by setting our expectations about what we’re going to find about who Jesus is because he wants us to…

The Testimony of a Senior Saint

Luke 2:36-38 The section that we’re finishing today, looking at the character and the testimony of Simeon and then Anna. It’s provided an opportunity I’ve longed desired. It should not escape our notice, if you’ve read the narrative, if you’ve been with us, that Simeon and Anna just like Zechariah and Elizabeth back in Chapter 1, they were, as the Bible so…

The Testimony of Simeon, Part 2

Luke 2:29-35 As we turn our attention to God’s word this morning, we’re in Luke 2:29. Last week Luke introduced us to Simeon. This man Simeon, he Luke invited us to behold this remarkable man. He is a righteous and devout man. He was living in a remarkably dark time. He was living among apostate people in an apostate city. But even…

The Testimony of Simeon, Part 1

Luke 2:25-30 Today in Luke’s Gospel in Chapter 2, we’re crossing the midpoint of this great chapter, which wraps up the infancy narratives of Jesus, the Messiah, the Savior of the whole world. As we learned last week, Luke has set some context for us so that we’re going to have a deeper theological understanding of what’s recorded here. Some fascinating verses…

The Theology of the Lord’s Salvation

Luke 2:21-24 For today, we want to return to our study in the Gospel of Luke because we want to become reacquainted with the real Gospel message. In a world of superficiality and triviality, we all feel the need to return to the old, old story to find out for ourselves what really happened so long ago. To catch you up with…

Trusting God in the Christmas Story

Luke 1:1-2:20 I want to welcome you, again, to our service before the Christmas Day this week.  Hopefully, you all are going to enjoy family and friends this Christmas season.  We certainly are.  We’re looking forward to a great time together.  We’ve enjoyed a wonderful season together, not just in the Christmas celebration this week, it’s just been a wonderful season at…

The Shepherds’ Report

Luke 2:15-20 This morning we’re going to look at a very significant portion of Scripture to wrap up, basically, this scene that we have been looking at in the narrative of the birth of Jesus Christ.  This is a portion of this narrative that has to do with the implications of the Christmas story for the life of every human being on…

Evangelism from Heaven

Luke 2:8-14 We’re continuing this fascinating study, the infancy narratives, which tell us the story about how God sent his Son, how the Son of God entered the world as a newborn baby, swaddled, laid in a manger. And as you’re turning there to Luke 2:8, let me just read a couple of verses from John’s gospel. Some of the themes flowing…

Why the Bethlehem Shepherds?

Luke 2:1-20 Open your Bibles to Luke’s Gospel, and this morning we are going to continue the narrative that we started at verse 1 in   Luke, Chapter 2. And that narrative that starts in verse 1 of Chapter 2, it goes all the way to verse 20. So, we’re going to begin this morning by reading that section. There is so much…
