Teaching on Luke (Page 27)

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.”

Belong to the People of Promise

Luke 1:54-55 Go ahead and turn in your Bibles to Luke’s Gospel; we are in Luke 1:46–55, the Song of Mary. We’ve been studying Mary’s Magnificat, and we’ve come to the final stanza of just what a wonderful, magnificent song that is. And we want to read the entire song one more time because when we read it today in its entirety, we’re going to leave it behind as we go on next week. So, just to enjoy its beauty…

We’re getting into a study of a very, very beautiful, joyful portion of Luke’s Gospel. It’s Luke 1:46, and perhaps the best way we can introduce this section of Scripture is just to start by reading the passage together, just let the words of this passage fill the air. So, starting in…

Blessed Are Those Who Believe

Luke 1:39-45 Let’s get into the Word. Okay, Luke chapter 1.

The Key to Luke’s Gospel

Luke 1:15-38 We’re back into our study of Luke’s Gospel this morning, so let’s open our Bibles to the Gospel of Luke. We’ve had many months away from Luke, haven’t we? We’re going to have to knock the rust off a little bit. So, I thought I’d approach our study just a little bit differently this morning, just to get the gears turning again and give you a little review of where we’ve been. In one sense our study of…

Mary, An Exemplary Believer

Luke 1:33-38  Well, take your Bibles in hand and open them to Luke 1:26—Luke 1:26, for our final sermon on this section.  We’ll begin by reading one more time that passage—Luke 1:26 to 35—and this account is nothing short of amazing.  Its depth is staggering.  Its simplicity is incredible.  Without a doubt this is the Word of God.  You can tell a difference every time you read anybody else’s book.  A human book, a human author, as excellent as it…

The Virgin Birth, Part 1

Luke 1:31   Turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 1.  We’re returning to our study of Luke’s Gospel this morning, and I know some of you are thinking something like this:  Are we ever going to get out of chapter 1, all right?  I hear you, believe me.  This chapter is 80 verses long, okay?  If we were in one of the epistles, I’d definitely be in chapter 2.  So, think about it that way. Eighty verses—that’s like three…

Favored By God

Luke 1:28-30   Well, as we come to our time in God’s Word this morning, you can open your Bibles as we’ve been in Luke’s Gospel.  We’ve just entered into this study.  We’re just kind of dipping our toes into the water, basically, of such a wonderful, rich text of Scripture, the main subject of which is our glorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We love talking about Him.  We love learning about Him.  More than ten years ago probably,…
