Sons of the Resurrection
Luke 20:34-40 Well, we are in Luke 20 this morning, and in our study as we come to the text, we find Jesus fending off yet another attack, and this time from the Sadducees. We started into this text last week, and by God’s grace we’ll finish it up this morning. As I looked at my notes this morning, I realized I could have cut this into another half. So that’s three halves. Three sermons could have done that, but…
The Attack on the Resurrection
Luke 20:27-33 Turn in your Bibles to Luke, Chapter 20 as we consider Jesus’ confrontation with the Sadducees and we continue in our study of the Gospel of Luke. I’ve got one sermon, three points, but there is so much in this text and so for mercy’s sake we are going to cover the three points over this weekend next. Still, I, in looking at the calendar. I do think it’ll work out better as we head into the Christmas…
Render Unto Caesar
Luke 20:19-26 As we return to our study of the Gospel of Luke, we come to Luke 20 and come to what has to be one of the most iconic of all of Jesus’ sayings, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar and to God what is God’s.” Many are familiar with that saying, “Render unto Caesar.” In fact, they just use that as shorthand, kind of referring to the entire passage, “Render unto Caesar.” It seems like a bit of…
The Authority Controversy, Part 2
Luke 20:5-8 Well, we are back in Luke 20 and the authority controversy that erupted in Israel. And so you can turn to Luke 20 to see this authority controversy that erupted in Israel when Jesus came to the Temple, reclaimed the Temple for God. Last week I got through half my points, which was more than half of my sermon, and so I chopped it off right in the middle. And I’ve been able to go back to the…
The Authority Controversy, Part 1
Luke 20:1-4 Luke chapter 20 as we get into this section, I think I mentioned it a little bit last week, but we’re getting into ah, the final section of Luke’s Gospel. The, the last 20 percent, if you’re keeping count of Luke’s Gospel. And the section that we’re into here, we’re gonna see this happening over the next couple of chapters where Jesus is in confrontations with the religious leaders of the Jews. This whole section has to do…
Christ Cleanses the Temple
Luke 19:45-48 Well, I’d like to invite you to turn to the Gospel of Luke this morning. Luke 19:45. It’s so good to be back with you. I can’t believe how long I’ve been gone, but it is, it is really a joy, a privilege for me to open the word of God with you to this morning. I count it such a high and holy honor that we get to do this together, such a joy. As we get…
When the King Returns, Part 3
Luke 19:20-27 Well, you can turn in your Bibles to Luke 19 as we finish up the parable of the minas, Luke 19:11-27. It’s really been a joy of mine, I think for many of you as well, to see reflected in the parable the heart of our Lord for his servants, his har, the heart of our Lord for us. We see in the Lord, in this parable, we see his noble character, we see how wise he is,…
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…
The Christian’s Assurance
Luke 18:24-30 Well, we are back in Luke 18. One final look at this section that began with a question, as we’ve seen, from a rich young ruler, Luke Chapter 18 and verse 18 and following. That’s where you’ll find us in the text. We see that the rich young ruler in verse 18 came to Jesus with a, a question. We’ve said that he comes in sincerity. He comes with a sincere question and It’s a good question. And…
The Rich Young Ruler, Part 2
Luke 18:22-23 Well, you can turn in your Bibles to Luke 18 as we continue Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler, the rich young ruler and Jesus. Last week I introduced the sermon with a question for you to think about, and it was a question that caused you to reflect on your personal evangelism. And I’d like to do something similar this morning and ask you to consider another question. This time, not so much doing, dealing with…
