How His Kingdom Comes

Luke 13:18-21 If you could turn in your Bibles to Luke, Chapter 13, we are finishing up a section today. Two brief parables from Jesus, and you’ll find them in Luke 13:18 to 21. Luke 13:18 to 21. Two simple parables. But once again, we find, what appears to be simple on the surface is profoundly searching and at the same time profoundly encouraging to us.  Jesus said, “Therefore,” Luke 13:18, “He said therefore, ‘What is the kingdom of God…

Why We Need Theology

Selected Scriptures We’re going to be trying to hit this issue of theology from a lot of different angles. So naturally, this leads into me, tonight,kicking off this study, giving you some reasons why we’re going to pursue a course of instruction in the doctrines of Scripture and in the theology of Scripture. And I want to start out by giving you a bit of a justification tonight of why we’re going to study theology. Several reasons why we study…

What the Sabbath Is For

Luke 13:14-17 Well, we are back in Luke 13 to finish what we started last week, so I’d invite you to turn there in your Bibles to Luke 13 and verse 10.

We saw that her physical malady had a spiritual source, and in this case, that source was an evil spirit,…

The Liberating Power of God

Luke 13:10-13 Take your bibles in hand if you will, and turn to Luke 13:10. Last week we finished up a long section of Jesus’ teaching, started in Luke 12:1 and went all the way to Luke 13:9. So today we’re kind of catching up with Jesus as he’s moved on from that setting and he’s moved on to another setting. We’re going to catch up with him as he teaches in a synagogue as he heals a crippled woman…

One More Mercy for the Barren Tree

Luke 13:6-9 We’re in Luke 13 this morning, but I’m going to ask you to open your Bibles to Luke 12. So we can work our way into the text that we’re going to cover. A, this morning, we’re going to begin in Luke 12:54 a section that we’ve covered. As Jesus turned from teaching his disciples, he turned from his disciples to address the crowds. And it says in Luke 12:54, “He also said to the crowds, ‘When you…

Repent or Perish

Luke 13:1-3 Well, as we take our Bibles in hand today, we have the joy of turning to a new chapter in Luke’s Gospel, Luke Chapter 13. So, take your Bibles and turn there, please. It’s a new chapter, but it is a continuation in the first part of this chapter. Of the same theme that we looked at last week. And that theme is that judgment is coming, so repent and repent now. In today’s text, Jesus is pressing…
