Ten Reasons to Rejoice When Persecuted

Luke 6:22-23 We are wrapping up our study of just the beatitudes. As we go through our exposition of the Gospel of Luke, the beatitudes here in Luke’s gospel, Luke 6:20-23, is really the introduction for the entire Sermon on the Mount. And today we’re going to continue what we began last time, a couple of weeks ago, in Luke 6:22-23, “blessed…

Blessed Are the Despised

Luke 6:22-23 We are studying the beatitudes, which is the introduction to Jesus’ most well-known sermon. The, this introduction to the sermon, I think, in my mind anyway, it’s been nothing short of revolutionary. Not in the political sense, not in any social, economical, or political statement. Any of that would be too shallow for this. Jesus, is as revolutionary in the…

Blessed Are the Weeping

Luke 6:21 “Luke 6:21, Blessed are you who weep now for you shall laugh.” Want to begin though, as we have been doing, by reading the whole section, the beatitudes in Luke’s gospel, “Luke 6:20-26.” And, I think probably by now you ought to have these beatitudes memorized, because we keep reading it week after week. And I, personally, never get tired…

Blessed Are the Hungry

Luke 6:21 Luke Chapter 6 and today, we’re looking at the second beatitude in Luke’s account of the Sermon on the Mount. We spent, as you know, the last two weeks on that first beatitude, “Blessed are you who are poor, you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.” And that really is the thesis verse for the beatitudes…

Joy in the Wealth of Poverty

Luke 6:20 This morning, we’re really continuing a message we began last week. We want to understand more fully, more completely what Jesus meant by what he said and the implications for us. It’s been 12 years since sociologist Christian Smith published his book called, Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers. The book came out in, back in…

Blessed Are the Poor

Luke 6:20  We are back in the Sermon on the Mount this morning in Luke’s account, so go ahead and turn there to Luke 6:20. We’re going to read that introductory portion again. As we’ve said, the Sermon on the Mount is the most widely known of all Jesus’ teachings. A very profound teaching, very searching, provoking in our hearts. Because of…

How to Hear the Sermon on the Mount

Luke 6:20-49      I invite you to turn in your bibles to the sixth chapter of Lukes’ Gospel, Luke 6:20. Luke 6:20. Of all the Jesus said whether it’s the whole sermon or portions of the sermon, the sermon on the mount is very likely the most commonly misinterpreted portion of Jesus teaching. When people get Jesus wrong on this sermon, they…

The Twelve: Judas Iscariot

Luke 6:16 Perhaps you’ve never thought about it before, but it’s remarkable to note that our Lord intentionally and prayerfully, our Lord chose Judas Iscariot to be one of the twelve Apostles. And our Lord knew full well exactly what he was getting into with Judas. I want you to notice in Luke Chapter 6, verse 12, “In these days,” Jesus, “went…

The Twelve: The Sons of Thunder

Luke 6:12-16 Today we’re looking at the two sons of Zebedee, James and John. Those two brothers, James and John, they belong to that first group of Apostles, that, that inner circle, and that included two other brothers, Simon and Andrew. And as you might imagine, two sets of brothers knowing each other, knowing each other in Galilee and Capernaum, in fishing…
