The Lineage of the Last Adam

Luke 3:23-38   One of the joys of expository preaching is that you get to be exposed to all different portions of Scripture.  Not many preachers would on their own choose to preach through genealogies, but expository preaching is a method of preaching that requires you to move verse by verse, passage by passage through the Scripture.  So, I’m forced to do…

The Covenantal Divide: The Anointing of Jesus

Luke 3:21-22   Jesus’ baptism was the context of his anointing by God for the unique role and the special ministry as Israel’s Messiah.  I just want to start by reading these two verses.  You know we talked about this last week, and we’re going to finish it up here today.  We’re going to start by reading those verses, and then I’ll…

The Covenantal Divide: The Baptism of Jesus

Luke 3:21-22 These are monumentally important verses.  These two verses here really represent a high point in redemptive history.  This is a zenith that marks the division between the two covenants of the Bible.  It is a very, very important text.  This is what you might call a watershed text.  I’m calling these two verses, Luke 3:21 to 22, the “Covenantal Divide.” …

Reacting to Words of Warning

Luke 3:15-20 Women are learners, they’re students of Scripture, and Luke acknowledges that all the way through the Gospel.  Christ acknowledges that in his ministry to women directly.  But our passage today has nothing to do with women.  It’s got to do with people.  So if you are “a people,” it has to do with you.  We’re going to go back to…

How to Preach Repentance, Part 3

Luke 3:10-14 This is really the fifth message this series. So we’ll start where we started a few weeks back in Chapter 3, verse 1.   Follow along as I read Luke 3:1 and following. “In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being Tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of…

The Design of a Woman

Selected Scriptures As I prepared to address you this evening, I came across um, an insightful article written by a woman named Erin Davis. It was entitled, “Why I’m Sick of Women’s Conferences.” That piqued my interest. And I thought, “Boy, I oughta make sure I don’t make any of the mistakes that she mentions in planning this.” So she began her…

How to Preach Repentance, Part 2

Luke 3:10-14 As we pointed out last week, the call to repentance is considered by many today to be something that is an addition to the Gospel, rather than the essence of the Gospel itself. For anyone to insist that there must be fruits of repentance, like John commands here, or that there must be works accompanying genuine faith—that is considered by…

How to Preach Repentance, Part 1

Luke 3:7-9 We have come to see how all true Gospel proclamation involves this message of repentance. Jesus preached repentance. The Apostles preached repentance. The students of the Apostles preached repentance. And all true preachers of the Gospel ever since have continued preaching a message of repentance. Without repentance, you no longer have the Gospel. You’ve actually replaced the Gospel with a…
