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…
The Rich Young Ruler, Part 1
Luke 18:18-21 Well, we are back in Luke’s gospel this morning, and we’re looking at Luke 18, verse 18. So if you’re not there already, I invite you to turn back to Luke 18:18, and this is Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler. And as you turn to Luke 18:18, I’d like you to think about how you would answer this question. If someone came up to you and said, “What should I do to inherit eternal life?”, what…
The Theology of Persistent Prayer
Luke 18:6-8 You can turn back to Luke 18 in your Bibles, and we will finish what we started last week and see what our Lord wants us to learn from the parable of the widow who prevailed against an unjust judge. We know what this parable is about because Luke told us in Luke 18:1 that Jesus told the parable “that we ought to always pray and not lose heart,” mindful of our Lord’s imminent return, whether it’s for…
The Widow Who Beat the Judge
Luke 18:1-5 Well, we are just speeding our way along through the Gospel of Luke aren’t we? Already to chapter 18? So you can turn there to Luke 18 this morning and we’re gonna look at a crucial, crucial concern that comes out of Jesus’ teaching on eschatology. We are turning the page into another chapter, entering into Chapter 18. But you need to know that this is still the same occasion and we are still in a section on…
Ready When Christ Returns
Luke 17:26-30 Turn to Luke 17 in your Bibles as we continue in our expositional study of the Gospel of Luke. We’ve had two sermons so far in this text and covering verses 20-25, two sermons on that, and as we begin, we will read those verses again just to remind ourselves of what we have already covered. Luke 17:20 says this: “Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he,” Jesus, “answered them, ‘The kingdom…
How We Wait for Christ’s Return
Luke 17:22-25 We are returning to the 17th chapter of Luke this morning, an amazing, amazing section on the coming of the kingdom and the coming of the Son of Man. And this is really Luke’s introduction to the end times. There is more coming in Luke 21, which is the Olivet Discourse and that parallels Matthew 24 and 25 and then Mark 13, as well. So, this is really just the beginning of Luke and eschatology or the eschatology…
How Jesus Wants You to Use Money, Part 2
Luke 16:9-13 Just want to invite all of you uh, to take your Bibles in hand and actually turn to Hebrews chapter 3, not preaching out of Hebrews 3, but I’m gonna use that to introduce what we’re going to talk about in Luke 16. We are in Luke 16, which is a section of Jesus’ teaching on stewardship. And I wanna begin in Hebrews, a thought comes to mind about Jesus’ use of a stewardship and want to start…
How Jesus Wants You to Use Money, Part 1
Luke 16:9 Turn to Luke 16. We’re in Luke 16 this morning and we’re following up on this intriguing and fascinating parable from Jesus, which is about the unjust steward. That’s what we covered last week. Last week we really saw a scoundrel of a human being. A steward who had been working for a very wealthy owner, landowner. A man who cheated his way out of a personal crisis. A predicament of his own making, which was losing his…
The Stewardship of a Scoundrel
Luke 16:1-8 Turn in your Bibles to Luke 16 and we’ll be looking at verses 1 to 13 of Luke, chapter 16. I was speaking the other day with someone. Both of us were expressing appreciation for all that the Lord taught us in Luke 15. The parable of the Prodigal Son. I had great joy in studying that section and preaching and teaching it. I feel a, a small tinge of sadness at leaving that beautiful, rich, richly textured…
Incentives for Faithful Stewardship, Part 2
Luke 12:45-48 Luke chapter 12. Hopefully we can finish this, this section of our Lord’s teaching, which is about how to live in light of the second coming. We have an account to give before the Lord. We have a stewardship to keep before him and so Jesus is exhorting us and really motivating us with some enticements for faithful stewardship, incentives. I’m going to start by reading just to set some context, back in verse 35, we’ve already covered…
