The Lineage of the Last Adam

Luke 3:23-38   One of the joys of expository preaching is that you get to be exposed to all different portions of Scripture.  Not many preachers would on their own choose to preach through genealogies, but expository preaching is a method of preaching that requires you to move verse by verse, passage by passage through the Scripture.  So, I’m forced to do…

The Covenantal Divide: The Anointing of Jesus

Luke 3:21-22   Jesus’ baptism was the context of his anointing by God for the unique role and the special ministry as Israel’s Messiah.  I just want to start by reading these two verses.  You know we talked about this last week, and we’re going to finish it up here today.  We’re going to start by reading those verses, and then I’ll…

The Covenantal Divide: The Baptism of Jesus

Luke 3:21-22 These are monumentally important verses.  These two verses here really represent a high point in redemptive history.  This is a zenith that marks the division between the two covenants of the Bible.  It is a very, very important text.  This is what you might call a watershed text.  I’m calling these two verses, Luke 3:21 to 22, the “Covenantal Divide.” …

Reacting to Words of Warning

Luke 3:15-20 Women are learners, they’re students of Scripture, and Luke acknowledges that all the way through the Gospel.  Christ acknowledges that in his ministry to women directly.  But our passage today has nothing to do with women.  It’s got to do with people.  So if you are “a people,” it has to do with you.  We’re going to go back to…

How to Preach Repentance, Part 3

Luke 3:10-14 This is really the fifth message in a, in this series. So we’ll start back where we started a few weeks back in Chapter 3, verse 1. Follow along as I read Luke 3:1 and following. “In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his…

How to Preach Repentance, Part 1

Luke 3:7-9  We have come to see how all true Gospel proclamation involves this message of repentance. Jesus preached repentance. The Apostles preached repentance. The students of the Apostles preached repentance. And all true preachers of the Gospel ever since have continued preaching a message of repentance. Without repentance, you no longer have the Gospel. You’ve actually replaced the Gospel with a…

The Preparatory Work of Repentance

Luke 3:4-6 John’s life and ministry, it provides us, all of us, the people that he preached to, but also us as well living in the 21st century, John’s ministry provides us with a very necessary perspective that we need to understand the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. You need to get what John is saying because otherwise, it’s very easy…

Before You Get the Gospel

Luke 3:1-3 I’d like to begin this morning by reading a good portion of this third chapter. So follow along with me as I read verses 1 to 23 of Luke Chapter 3. “In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being the tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of the region…

The Theology of the Messiah’s Growth

Luke 2:49-52 Last week we started reading the story of Jesus as a 12-year-old boy, visiting the temple, and you can find that story at the end of Chapter 2. We’re going to start there reading this morning in Chapter 2, verse 40. Like I said, we’ll just begin by reading the account this morning and refresh ourselves with the truths that…
