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…

Luke 7:6-10 I want to welcome you back to part two of what we began last week. So, you wanna grab your Bibles and turn over to Luke 7 and let’s finish the story of the Faith of the Centurion.

But first, let’s, let’s just read it together.  Luke 7:1 through 10 is…

The Faith of the Centurion, Part 1

Luke 7:1-5 We are in Luke Chapter 7. We’re going to be opening, looking in that opening narrative there on the remarkable faith of a soldier. The faith of a Roman centurion. I wanna start this morning by reading that text, so read along with me if you have your Bibles open to Luke 7:1 through 10. “After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people he entered Capernaum. Now a centurion had a servant who…

How to Be an Excellent Disciple: Fidelity

Luke 6:46-49 J.C. Ryle wrote, “It has been said with much truth that no sermon should conclude without some personal application to the consciences of the listeners.” That’s what we’ve been getting from Jesus week by week. What Ryle continues by saying, he calls it a “solemn and heart-searching conclusion to a most solemn discourse.” I have certainly found that in my life and I believe that all of you have as well. We also find here some great comfort,…

How to Be an Excellent Disciple: Fecundity

Luke 6:43-45 We are coming to the end of the Sermon on the Mount and just this week, actually, and next to finish it and don’t want to waste any time this morning, but get right into the text. So Luke, chapter 6. We’ll start reading in verse 39. Here is the conclusion of Jesus’ sermon and here in the conclusion, we’re finding some principles for discipleship. This is vital instruction for our discernment, for our protection, for edification as…

How to Be an Excellent Disciple: Humility

Luke 6:41-42 We’re coming to the conclusion on the Sermon on the Mount. And we’re actually in a little series here at the end of this Sermon on the Mount, identifying principles that lead us to excellence in discipleship. Jesus, as we’ve been saying, he gives us here four principles of discipleship in this final section, Luke 6:39-49. It starts with the principle of authority, which we looked at last week, verses 39-40. The principle of humility, verses 41-42. That’s…

How to Be an Excellent Disciple: Authority

Luke 6:39-40 We’re looking at Luke 6 verses 39 and running to the end of the chapter. This is the final section of Luke’s rec, record of the Sermon on the Mount. I wanted to, while you’re turning there just wanted to thank Lee Barton for opening the Word for us last week. Such an insightful, thought-provoking exposition of Psalm 2. In case you missed it, it is available on our website. You can download that, listen to it during…

How to Be an Excellent Disciple

Luke 6:39-49 We’re going to be looking at the final section of that sermon that starts in Luke 6:39 and runs all the way to the end of the chapter. This is the third major section of the Sermon on the Mount. In the first section, which ran from verses 20-26, Jesus identified his true disciples as the poor, the weeping, the hungry, the reviled. After identifying his audience, the targets of his sermon, he turned his attention in the…

Love with Compassion

Luke 6:36-38 Turn your Bibles to Luke chapter 6. And we’re going to start this morning, by reading the main body of the sermon,  because as we transition next week, we’re going to go into another section of that Sermon on the Mount. So we want to hear the final section of this main body of the sermon, uh, read in its context as we cover it this morning. So starting in Luke 6:27, Jesus says, “But I say to…
