Teaching on Luke (Page 6)

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.”

Tragedy of the Almost Saved

Luke 17:31-33 You can open your Bibles to Luke 17 for a what really is a sobering portion. It’s an amazing chapter. The whole chapter has really been sobering.

Ready When Christ Returns

Luke 17:26-30 Turn to Luke 17 in your Bibles as we continue in our expositional study of the Gospel of Luke. We’ve had two sermons so far in this text and covering verses 20-25, two sermons on that, and as we begin, we will read those verses again just to remind ourselves of what we have already covered. Luke 17:20 says this:…

How We Wait for Christ’s Return

Luke 17:22-25 We are returning to the 17th chapter of Luke this morning, an amazing, amazing section on the coming of the kingdom and the coming of the Son of Man. And this is really Luke’s introduction to the end times. There is more coming in Luke 21, which is the Olivet Discourse and that parallels Matthew 24 and 25 and then…

Thy Kingdom Come

Luke 17:20-21 Well, as we return to our exposition of Luke’s gospel, you can take your Bibles and turn to Luke 17 and verse 20, which takes us into the blessed subject of eschatology, eschatology. Eschatology is, it’s the Greek word eschatos, which means “last” or “final,” and so eschatology is the study of last or final things. God has given us,…

Salvation of a Stranger

Luke 17:11-19 You can turn to Luke 17 and verse 11. This is the final stage in Jesus’ journey as he makes his way to Jerusalem for his appointment with the cross. This is in the 17th chapter of Luke’s gospel, and it starts in verse 11, Luke 17:11. Ever since Luke 9:51, we have been in a section that we call…

My Brother’s Keeper, Part 3

Luke 17:5-10 Open your Bibles to Luke 17 and today we are following up on a two-part series that we’ve called, My Brother’s Keeper, which is the first. It’s in the first ten verses Luke 17:1-10. After Jesus addressed the Pharisees at the end of the 16th chapter, we’ve seen that he has turned to his disciples and he speaks to them…

My Brother’s Keeper, Part 2

Luke 17:3-4 Well, we’re in Luke 17, and we’re continuing a series called My Brother’s Keeper, and we are looking at Luke 17:1-10, Luke 17:1-10. Today, we’re just going to get through the first four verses. Last week we learned that we need to be our brother’s keeper, and this week we’re going to learn how to be our brother’s keeper. So…

My Brother’s Keeper, Part 1

Luke 17:1-2 It’s been a while since we’ve been in the Gospel of Luke, and I think it would be a good idea to take a few minutes just to orient ourselves with where we are in this blessed narrative. We are in the third major section of Luke’s Gospel. Three major sections that we’ve gone through so far. This is the…

Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 2

Luke 16:22-31 I want to ask you to turn in your Bibles to Luke 16, and today we will finish the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, which has to be one of the most sobering portrayals in all of Scripture of divine judgment. The parable, as we’ve seen, provides a warning. It’s a warning about future judgment, the certainty of…

Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 1

Luke 16:19-23 Today we come to the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, so I want you to open your Bibles to Luke chapter 16, Luke 16. While you’re turning there, just to sort of set this up, I’d like to read from what the Apostle Paul says at the end of 2 Corinthians chapter 4, so you turn to Luke…
