Jesus Orders the Supper 

Luke 22:14-20 We’re going to prepare our hearts for the blessing of celebrating the communion ordinance. And in preparing our hearts, it’s the Lord who has brought us into a special text in our study of Luke’s gospel, and it’s the institution of the Lord’s table. This is what the Lord set up for us, set this table, prepared it for us, and invites us to come. So if you would turn to Luke 22 in your Bibles.  Luke 22,…

The Preparation for Passover

Luke 22:7-13 You can open your Bibles to Luke 22 as we come to verse 7 of Luke 22, and as we come to this section, Luke 2:7 through 13, we are less than 24 hours away from the crucifixion. With all that’s ahead, it’s amazing to think about all that can happen in a single 24 hour period. But we’re not going to cover it in 24 hours, I can guarantee you that. Last week we studied just the…

Solving the Jesus Problem

Luke 22:1-6 Well, we are entering into the final section of Luke’s gospel this morning. It’s a very long chapter at 71 verses, second only to the first chapter of Luke, which we have survived.

I realized that this is a political season and we…

Watchful, Prayerful Saints

Luke 21:34-38 Well, we are with mixed feelings, for me anyway, coming to the end of this amazing chapter, Luke 21 and Jesus’ teaching on the Olivet Discourse. This great chapter along with the parallels in Matthew 24 and Mark 13, this chapter stands with other eschatological teachings such as Luke 12, Luke 17. All these passages are seminal to the vital New Testament doctrine of last things, of what is coming in the end.  Michael Allen in his, no…

Certainty and the Fig Tree

Luke 21:29-33 Well, we have come to this final section, actually, of the Olivet Discourse this morning. It’s toward the end of Luke 21. So you can turn there in your Bibles to Luke 21 and find your way to verse 29. In this section, the whole section is verses 29 to 36. But in this first section, Luke 21:29 to 33, Jesus is kind of rounding out his teaching on the end times. He’s kind of circling back here…
