So you want to turn over to Luke chapter 7 and verse 36. I’m gonna begin this morning in just a moment here by reading the text. This week, next week, maybe another week after that, I don’t we’ll see, but we’re gonna see in this passage, which…
Strong Encouragement for New Believers
Luke 7:18-35 In the good providence of God, we have a unique opportunity today. This Sunday, today is not just a Baptism Sunday, it’s not just a Right Hand of Fellowship Sunday, as we bring new members into our fellowship. But it’s also, as you can see before you, it’s a Communion Sunday. And God has granted us just a little time, maybe some unhurried moments that we can use to prepare ourselves to partake of the Lord’s Table together…
A Lesson in Discernment from Children at Play
Luke 7:31-35 As we get started this morning, I want to ask you to turn your Bibles to Luke Chapter 7. Luke Chapter 7.

If I could, kind of summarize, so we can get our arms around the significance of what we have learned so far in this section…
Winnowing the Heart
Luke 7:29-30 We are in Luke’s Gospel, and we are in an ex, expositional study, as you know. Started some time ago in Luke 1:1, and we have been moving through verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter through Luke’s Gospel. It’s been a rewarding study for our church to sort of rediscover together for ourselves the real story of Christianity. Every now and again it’s good for us to return to the source documents and learn from the Lord Jesus Christ himself, how he…

The Assurance of Things Hoped For
Luke 7:18-23 I want to invite you to turn to Luke chapter 7 if you’re not there already. We’re returning to Luke’s Gospel and looking at a short interaction that takes place between John the Baptist and Jesus the Messiah. It’s going to be there in Luke 7:18 to 23, and in this section of Luke 7 the ministry of John the Baptist is in focus, but what is really on display once again is the person and work of…
Greater Than a Great Prophet
Luke 7:16-19 Wanna ask you to open your Bibles to Luke 7. Luke chapter 7. We are moving from the opening two accounts, really dramatic opening accounts in which Jesus’ power was on display for us, and when he healed the centurion’s slave, and when he raised the widow’s son from the dead. We’re moving from those two accounts and transitioning into a larger section of Chapter 7, in which Jesus interacts with and teaches about John the Baptist. I…

Now a centurion had a servant…
