When the King Returns, Part 2

Luke 19:15-19 We’re back in Luke 19 this morning and so I would like to invite you to open your bibles to Luke 19 and the parable that we’ve been looking at that starts in verse 11 of Luke 19. This is part 2 of a 3-part look at this fascinating study of stewardship through the lens of the parable of the minas. Stewardship is a common, common theme in Jesus’ teaching. And in particular all through the travel section…

When the King Returns, Part 1

Luke 19:11-14 I’d like to invite you to turn your Bibles to Luke 19 this morning. This is a very important text of Scripture and a very pivotal time in our Lord’s ministry. And I’d like to add this could be a very pivotal time, pivotal portion of Scripture for our own church as well. We’re looking at Luke 19, verses 11 and following. And as I mentioned a few moments earlier, on our church’s calendar we have just come…

Jesus Came to Seek and Save the Lost

Luke 19:10  Well, as we come to God’s word this morning and consider the significance of the resurrection for us today, I want to direct your attention to a single verse in Luke’s Gospel, which is Luke 19:10.

I realize that on a night like this, on a weekend like this, Good Friday and then Easter Sunday…

The Evidence of True Conversion

Luke 19:7-10 Well, I want to ask you to turn to Luke’s Gospel this morning as we take another look at Zacchaeus and Jesus. It’s a story of salvation, and it’s a story of the salvation of one of the most loathed kinds of sinners that there were in the first century world: the tax collectors. In that song we just sang, talked about the grace of God, “Once your enemy, now seated at your table.” And here we’re going…

Jesus Seeks Lost Sinners

Luke 19:1-6   Well, I’d like to invite you to turn in your Bibles to Luke 19, Luke 19. Little hooray for getting into a yet another chapter of Luke’s Gospel. They seem to come slowly to us, don’t they? But Luke 19 in verse 1, and this is the account of a lost sinner who sought the Savior. It’s also the account of the Savior who came to seek a lost sinner. Zacchaeus, the lost sinner, he wanted to see…
