The Unassailable Authority of Christ
Sons of the Resurrection
Luke 20:34-40 Well, we are in Luke 20 this morning, and in our study as we come to the text, we find Jesus fending off yet another attack, and this time from the Sadducees. We started into this text last week, and by God’s grace we’ll finish it up this morning. As I looked at my notes this morning, I realized I could have cut this into another half. So that’s three halves. Three sermons could have done that, but…
The Attack on the Resurrection
Luke 20:27-33 Turn in your Bibles to Luke, Chapter 20 as we consider Jesus’ confrontation with the Sadducees and we continue in our study of the Gospel of Luke. I’ve got one sermon, three points, but there is so much in this text and so for mercy’s sake we are going to cover the three points over this weekend next. Still, I, in looking at the calendar. I do think it’ll work out better as we head into the Christmas…
Render Unto Caesar
Luke 20:19-26 As we return to our study of the Gospel of Luke, we come to Luke 20 and come to what has to be one of the most iconic of all of Jesus’ sayings, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar and to God what is God’s.” Many are familiar with that saying, “Render unto Caesar.” In fact, they just use that as shorthand, kind of referring to the entire passage, “Render unto Caesar.” It seems like a bit of…
The Authority Controversy, Part 2
Luke 20:5-8 Well, we are back in Luke 20 and the authority controversy that erupted in Israel. And so you can turn to Luke 20 to see this authority controversy that erupted in Israel when Jesus came to the Temple, reclaimed the Temple for God. Last week I got through half my points, which was more than half of my sermon, and so I chopped it off right in the middle. And I’ve been able to go back to the…
The Authority Controversy, Part 1
Luke 20:1-4 Luke chapter 20 as we get into this section, I think I mentioned it a little bit last week, but we’re getting into ah, the final section of Luke’s Gospel. The, the last 20 percent, if you’re keeping count of Luke’s Gospel. And the section that we’re into here, we’re gonna see this happening over the next couple of chapters where Jesus is in confrontations with the religious leaders of the Jews. This whole section has to do…
Christ Cleanses the Temple
Luke 19:45-48 Well, I’d like to invite you to turn to the Gospel of Luke this morning. Luke 19:45. It’s so good to be back with you. I can’t believe how long I’ve been gone, but it is, it is really a joy, a privilege for me to open the word of God with you to this morning. I count it such a high and holy honor that we get to do this together, such a joy. As we get…
