Teaching on Luke (Page 7)

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.”

Why Christians don’t Divorce

Luke 16:18 Today we are going to take a closer look at the topic of divorce and remarriage. Divorce and remarriage. So, you can go back to Luke 16.

Luke 16:9 Turn to Luke 16.  We’re in Luke 16 this morning and we’re following up on this intriguing and fascinating parable from Jesus, which is about the unjust steward.  That’s what we covered last week.    Last week we really saw a scoundrel of a human being.  A steward who had been working for a very wealthy owner, landowner.  A man who…

Stewardship of a Scoundrel

Luke 16:1-8 Turn in your Bibles to Luke 16 and we’ll be looking at verses 1 to 13 of Luke, chapter 16.  I was speaking the other day with someone.  Both of us were expressing appreciation for all that the Lord taught us in Luke 15.  The parable of the Prodigal Son.  I had great joy in studying that section and preaching…

Lost Brother

Luke 15:25-32 This morning we do have one more chance to look at Luke 15, so if you turn there in your Bibles, you’ll be right in the right place.

He was…
