The Golden Rule

Luke 6:31 “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” You probably were taught that by your mother when you were growing up by a very, very wide margin, the best known of Jesus sayings, in any of his teachings. “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”  You will find the golden rule in both…

Love Your Enemies, Part 2

Luke 6:29-30 There in Luke 6.  And we’ll be starting verse 27.  We were introduced last time to Jesus’ command, “Love your enemies,” and we tried to think carefully about what love really is.  And then how to practice that love toward others and our enemies in particular.  Today, we’re going to move ahead.  We’re going to consider some of these implications…

Love Your Enemies, Part 1

Luke 6:27-28 We’re gonna get into Luke 6:27 this morning. Last Sunday as you know, we got a broad overview of the entire sermon. But today we want to drill down into the details. Starting with Jesus’ opening imperative, in verse 27, love your enemies, love your enemies. This is about practicing the full extent of divine love. This is the way…

A Sober Warning to the Worldly-Contented

Luke 6:24-26 You can turn in your Bibles to Luke 6:20 as we take a look this morning at the four woes.  This is our four corresponding woes to the four beatitudes he gave in, we’ll look at that whole section, Luke 6:20 to 26.  Interestingly, this is how Jesus finishes his introduction to his sermon with four woes, which really you…

Ten Reasons to Rejoice When Persecuted

Luke 6:22-23 We are wrapping up our study of just the beatitudes.  As we go through our exposition of the gospel of Luke, the beatitudes here in Luke’s gospel, Luke 6:20-23, is really the introduction of the entire Sermon on the Mount.  And today we’re going to continue what we began last time, a couple of weeks ago, in Luke 6:22-23, “blessed…

Blessed Are the Despised

Luke 6:22-23 We are studying the beatitudes, which is the introduction to Jesus’ most well-known sermon.  The, this introduction to the sermon, I think, it my mind anyway, it’s been nothing short of revolutionary.  Not in the political sense, not in any social, economical, or political statement.  Any of that would be too shallow for this.  Jesus, this is revolutionary in the…

Blessed Are the Weeping

Luke 6:21 “Luke 6:21: Blessed are you who weep now for you shall laugh.”  Want to begin though, as we have been doing, by reading the whole section, the beatitudes in Luke’s gospel, “Luke 6:20-26.”  And, I think probably by now you ought to have these beatitudes memorized, because we keep reading it week after week.  And I, personally, never get tired…

Blessed Are the Hungry

Luke 6:21 Luke Chapter 6.  Today, we’re looking at the second beatitude in Luke’s account of the Sermon on the Mount.  We spent, as you know, the last two weeks on that first beatitude, “Blessed are you who are poor, you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.”  And that really is the thesis verse for the beatitudes and…

Joy in the Wealth of Poverty

Luke 6:20 This morning, we’re really continuing a message we began last week.  We want to understand more fully, more completely what Jesus meant by what he said and implications for us.  It’s been 12 years since sociologist Christian Smith published his book called “Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers.”  The book came out in, back in 2005,…

Blessed Are the Poor

Luke 6:20 We are back in the Sermon on the Mount this morning in Luke’s account, so go ahead and turn there to Luke 6:20. We’re going to read that introductory portion again.  As we’ve said, the Sermon on the Mount is the most widely known of all Jesus’ teachings.  A very profound teaching, very searching, provoking in our hearts.  Because of…
