Christ Came to Divide

Luke 12:51-53 I’d like to invite all of you to turn in your bibles to Luke Chapter 12.  And we’re going to continue what we started last week so Luke 12:49 and following.  As we saw last week Jesus sees the world divided into basic groups.  His, his work as Messiah acknowledges two basic groups.  There are those who will go through…

Christ Came to Start a Fire

Luke 12:49-50 Luke 12:49.  It is a, it is a portion of Scripture that is unique to Luke’s gospel, you’re not going to find this section in any of the other gospels, these two verses anyway we’ll cover today.  But this portion also provides very unique and privileged insight into the thinking of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.    There in Luke…

Six Marks of the Messiah’s Mission

Luke 9:21-22 Well, we are in Luke 9 this morning, so I invite you to turn in your Bibles to Luke 9:18-22. This is the perfect spot in the text to prepare our hearts, really, to participate together in the Lord’s Table later in the service.

The Christ of God

Luke 9:18-20 We are back in our study of Luke’s Gospel, so you can turn in your Bibles to the next verse—Luke 9:18. And if you’re visiting with us today, we’re so glad, as we said, that you’ve come. We want to welcome you and greet you in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. There is probably no better…

Ambush on the Sabbath

Luke 6:6-11 We’ve been reading about Jesus. He and his disciples have been shadowed by the Jewish leadership. All the while, he’s demonstrating his power, his strength, his might, his healing, his concern for people, his mercy. Jesus’ ministry has attracted the attention of the religious authorities in Jerusalem. The scribes and the Pharisees, they went out from Jerusalem and Judea to…

Lord of the Sabbath, Part 2

Luke 6:1-11 There in Luke Chapter six follow along as I read in Luke 6:1 through 11. “On a Sabbath, while he,” that is Jesus, ”was going through the grain fields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. But some of the Pharisees said, ‘Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on…

Lord of the Sabbath, Part 1

Luke 6:1-5 As we have been moving through Jesus’ Galilean ministry, if you remember, Jesus’ Galilean ministry started in chapter four, verse 14, and goes all the way through chapter nine, verse 50. But even in these early chapters, we have been seeing an increase of opposition from the Jewish leadership. As Jesus exercises his Messianic prerogatives, as he executes his Father’s…

The Messiah Confronts His People

Luke 4:22-30  You’ll notice there, if you’re in Luke 4 verses 14 to 16, the scene is set there in the synagogue. The synagogue was the place of weekly Jewish worship and instruction. And we spent some time last time describing the synagogue because really it features so often in the synoptic Gospels. The synagogue is mentioned 9 times in Matthew, 11…

The Messiah Announces His Mission

Luke 4:16-22 If you’re not already there, we’ll start there in Luke chapter four, and we’ll start reading in verse 14.  “And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.  And he came to Nazareth, where he had…

Jesus Gets to Work

Luke 4:14-15 We finished a long section on Jesus’ origins, the story of where he came from and what qualifies him, that began with Luke 1:5, there after the prologue.  And we ended with last week’s sermon in Luke 4:13.  Luke’s Gospel, as we’ve seen, provides the most in-depth treatment of Jesus’ beginnings as Luke prepares his readers to meet the Savior…
