Jesus Ministers to the Masses
Luke 6:17-19 This happens to be the fourth pause that Luke has provided us, which is sort of a short summary and allows us to stop and ponder. Allows us to look at the big picture, reflect, before we wade deeply into the waters that are ahead in the Sermon on the Mount. We’ve just been through a study of the Apostles. We took a few weeks to get a more detailed look at the men God ordained and the…
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 up to the mountain to pray, all night he continued in prayer to God. When day came, he…
The Twelve: Lessons from the Lesser Knowns
Luke 6:12-16 Today, we’re going to talk about some of the lesser-known Apostles. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but we actually studied our study of the Apostles in the apostolic ministry back in January, end of January. Andwe just wanted, as we came in our study of Luke, we wanted to come to this portion here and pay special attention to this list of names that the Lord chose to be his Apostles because as we’ve pointed out, these…
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 industry together, they were a pretty tight group. These three of these four, they were selected by Christ…
The Twelve: Solidifying the Rock, Part 3
Luke 6:14 Simon was a Galilean fisherman. He was actually the owner of a small fishing business that he operated on the Sea of Galilee, along with his brother Andrew, two of his friends, the two sons of Zebedee, James and John. Simon was not, not a man who was who had been considered in his day an educated man, though he was educated. He just wasn’t educated in the rabbinical schools, but he was a sincere believer in all…
The Twelve: Solidifying the Rock, Part 2
Luke 6:12-16 Luke 6:12 to 16 goes like this, “In these days he,” that is Jesus, “went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named Apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was…
A General Overview of Twelve Ordinary Men
Luke 6:14-16 Starting there in Luke 6:14, “Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.” We’ve spent time over the past two weeks really learning the significance of this group of men, this list of names, the significance of the Apostles and…
The True Nature of Apostolic Ministry
Luke 6:12-16 We talked about, last week, how Jesus labored through the previous night in prayer, having sensed the direction of divine providence. That God intended to pour a new foundation, for a new temple, for the people of God. This temple was not to be constructed with stone and mortar. It’s not to be layered with silver and gold on the outside. It’s not to be ordained with ornate sculpting or embroidered fabrics. This temple, from its foundation,…
Our Divinely-Laid Foundation
Luke 6:12-13 So, if you’re in Luke 6, I’m going to start reading there in verse 12. “In these days he,” that is, Jesus, “went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named Apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James…
Ambush on the Sabbath
Luke 6:6-11 We’ve been reading about Jesus. He and his disciples have been shadowed by the Jewish leadership. All the while, he’s demonstrating his power, his strength, his might, his healing, his concern for people, his mercy. Jesus’ ministry has attracted the attention of the religious authorities in Jerusalem. The scribes and the Pharisees, they went out from Jerusalem and Judea to go to Galilee, in that more rural area: Galilee of the Gentiles. They went out to observe for…
