Get Your Eyes Checked
Luke 11:33-36 I want to turn us back into the Gospel of Luke and get your attention back into the text, there, and Luke Chapter 11, as Jesus brings this discourse that we’ve been looking at for some time, here, he brings this particular discourse to a close. So you can find your way to Luke 11:33. As you turn there, I’ll just make a couple of remarks by way of introduction. The scene opened back in verse 14, Luke…
Behold, Something Greater in Christ
Luke 11:27-32 We are continuing our study of Luke’s gospel and we want to invite you to turn in your Bibles to Luke 11. We are going to be looking at verse 27 and following, and while you’re getting situated, I’ll try to bring you up to speed with what has been going on so far in this section. The section started back in verse 14 when Jesus cast out a demon from a man and enabled him to speak.…
Lining Up with the Liberator of Souls
Luke 11:17-26 Back once again to Luke’s Gospel. Turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 11. That’s where we are in, in, God’s providence. We are in Luke chapter 11 and we’re looking at Jesus and his ministry of exorcism; casting out demons. One of the, one of the things I like about that song we sang earlier: The God of Abraham Praise. It says, in that first line, “The God of Abraham praise who reigns enthroned above. Ancient of…
Why They Reject Christ
Luke 11:14-16 I’d ask you to turn in your Bibles, there, to Luke 11 and verse 14, Luke 11:14. That starts a new section and starting today and for the foreseeable future, we’re going to see Jesus as he faces a significant season of controversy, as he responds to what really amounts to a blasphemy. A blasphemous charge against him, against his ministry, but really, more fundamentally, it’s a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. And then the subsequent rejection of…
Why You Should Come and Pray
Luke 11:5-13 Well, we have the joy of turning to Luke’s Gospel, again. This is our ongoing study of this profoundly rich teaching, in the life of our Lord. You can find your way to Luke chapter 11 and verse 5. Luke 11:5.One of the notable features about Luke’s Gospel is his emphasis throughout the gospel on prayer. He, more than any other of the gospel writers, Luke records various parables and teachings from our Lord that center on the…
The Lord’s Prayer, Part 2
Luke 11:4 You can grab your Bibles and open them to Luke 11, one to four and we will finish our study of the Lord’s Prayer, Lord willing. Last week we studied the first three petitions and we’re going to consider the, the, the final two for today. In Luke 11, 2-4, Jesus gave his disciples a pattern for prayer. Teaching them how to pray in response to the request of one of his disciples. And so, Jesus taught them…
The Lord’s Prayer, Part 1
Luke 11:1-4 We are back to our study of Luke’s Gospel. So, we want to ask you to turn to that section on the Lord’s prayer that’s found in Luke 11, one to four. Luke 11, one to four. We’ve been taking our time to understand the privilege that we have of coming to God in prayer, and we have spent a good portion of time to clarify the greatness of the one that we call, father. The one that…
Access to God the Father
Luke 11:2 We are in a study of Luke chapter 11, verses 2-4, Jesus teaching his disciples to pray. He said to them in Luke 11:2-4, “When you pray, say, ‘Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.” I need to admit, here, right from the start—because I know you’re thinking it…
What It Means to Call God Father
Luke 11:2-4 We are in a study of the Lord’s Prayer, Luke 11:2-4, and as we’re in the habit of doing, we’re going to begin this morning just by reading that text, just that portion, starting in Luke 11:1, “Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’ And he said to them, ‘When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be…
Before You Call God Father
Luke 11:2 If you have your Bibles, you’ll want to open them to Luke chapter 11. We’re going to get into Christ’s most basic instruction, here, on how to pray, which puts us into the first set of petitions, which have to do with God and his interests. So this addresses God as “Father.” We’re going to make a connection to what we learned in our conference weekend, that the answer to our mortality is God. The reason for no…
