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.

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 Power of Ministry Grace

2 Corinthians 4:13-18 I invite you to return to 2 Corinthians 4, and we’ll wrap up the three-part series that we have been doing on the Christian ministry. 2 Corinthians chapter 4, today we’re looking at verses 13 to 18, the last part of that chapter.

Gospel Certainty for Gentile Sinners, Part 1

Luke 1:1-4 Now a reasonable question at this point is to ask is “Why?”  Why launch into a long study on the Gospel of Luke?  Why chew up all that time, spending all that time in the pulpit in one author’s writings?  Won’t that cause us to become a bit out of balance?  Whether or not you are asking questions like that or thinking things like that, I would like to provide some justification for why we’re venturing into a…
