Joy in the Wealth of Poverty

Luke 6:20 This morning, we’re really continuing a message we began last week. We want to understand more fully, more completely what Jesus meant by what he said and the implications for us. It’s been 12 years since sociologist Christian Smith published his book called, Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers. The book came out in, back in…

Answering the Hard Questions About Immutability

We talked about God as in his greatness, as immortal spirit. As in immortal Spirit God is life giving. He is one. So, we talked about a lot of, you know, the doctrines of obviously monotheism, but also simplicity; in that doctrine of God being one and then God being unchanging; that all comes out of the fact that God is immortal…

Blessed Are the Poor

Luke 6:20  We are back in the Sermon on the Mount this morning in Luke’s account, so go ahead and turn there to Luke 6:20. We’re going to read that introductory portion again.

When people get Jesus wrong on this sermon, they…

The Attributes of God’s Greatness: God Unchanging

This, this study of God, theology proper, we’ve divided God’s attributes, as we’ve said, into two, basically the attributes two categories: the attributes of greatness and the attributes of glory, or goodness, I’m sorry, can’t stop thinking about his glory. So, attributes of greatness and attributes of goodness. Okay, greatness and goodness.  In talking about God’s greatness, we’ve looked at his greatness…

Jesus Ministers to the Masses

Luke 6:17-19 This happens to be the fourth pause that Luke has provided us, which is sort of a short summary and allows us to stop and ponder. Allows us to look at the big picture, reflect, before we wade deeply into the waters that are ahead in the Sermon on the Mount. We’ve just been through a study of the Apostles.…
