The Beginning of Birth Pains, Part 3
Luke 21:9-11 Well, as we come back to our study of the Olivet Discourse, I’d ask you to turn into your Bibles to Luke, chapter 21, Luke 21. If you have been with us over the past couple of weeks, you know that we’ve been looking at this first section of Jesus’ answer to the disciples’ questions, questions that are put to him in Luke 21, verse 7. The disciples in verse 7 ask Jesus, “Teacher, when, therefore, will these…
The Beginning of Birth Pains, Part 2
Luke 21:8 You can turn in your Bibles to Luke 21, Jesus’ prophecy about the End Times and about his return to earth; the Second Coming. This prophecy comes in response, as we’ve seen, to a question from Jesus’ disciples. Jesus had predicted the divine judgment that would come upon the city of Jerusalem and its temple, Luke 21:5 and 6, which results in questions that his disciples asked, in verse 7, about the end. And so, from verses 8…
The Beginning of Birth Pains, Part 1
Luke 21:8 Well, we come back to our study in the Olivet Discourse. If you would open your Bibles to Luke 21, we’ll get right to it. I warned you last week that we would be doing some work. I’m going to follow through on that promise today. We are going to start with a bit of an introduction. It’ll be a longer introduction, so don’t be looking to jot down an outline point right away. But I’m going to…
How to Listen to the Olivet Discourse
Luke 21:8 Well, as we return to our study of the Olivet Discourse, I invite you back to Luke 21, Luke 21. And today we will begin by reading Jesus’ answer to his disciples’ questions about the destruction of the temple. There are questions about the coming desolation of Jerusalem and its temple and how all that relates to the end; and the end that they had in mind, as Jews of the first century. They had certain expectations. They…
Dismantling the Robbers’ Den
Luke 21:6-7 Turn in your bibles to Luke 21, Luke 21, which is the Olivet Discourse and it is an amazing chapter of teaching and it’s also, just want to point this out, that it is, it’s the final discourse in Luke’s Gospel. The final discourse of Jesus’ teaching; a full section of Jesus’ teaching in the Gospel of Luke. So it’s, it’s, fitting that the last extended teaching before the cross is about, last things. He’s looking to the…
The Admiration of Desolation
Luke 21:5-6 Well, as we enter into our study of Luke’s Gospel and return to it, we come to a fascinating section called the Olivet Discourse. Which you’ll find in Luke 21, if you could turn to Luke 21 in your bibles, Luke 21:5 and following is the section that we’re entering into. This is known as the Olivet Discourse because that’s where he taught this, on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, overlooking the Temple. Luke in his…
A Litmus Test of True Religion
Luke 20:45-21:4 Turn in your Bibles to Luke 20 and verse 45, and we are at the end of this amazing chapter, a chapter that has really been marked by controversy and conflict, and yet has been so instructive and useful and beneficial for us. But we are turning the page from chapter 20 into chapter 21 today. And in the text before us, it’s a text that gives us a litmus test of sorts, kind of an unlikely litmus…
