Jonah’s Callous Heart Confronted

Jonah 4 If you would turn in your copy of the scriptures to Jonah and as we come to the end of the book of Jonah, we’re reminded of the beginning of the book. As we see Jonah at the end, he resembles much the same hard hearted, calloused man that he resembled at the beginning in chapter 1. When Yahweh initially…

Repent or Perish

Luke 13:1-3 Well, as we take our Bibles in hand today, we have the joy of turning to a new chapter in Luke’s Gospel, Luke Chapter 13. So, take your Bibles and turn there, please. It’s a new chapter, but it is a continuation in the first part of this chapter. Of the same theme that we looked at last week. And…

Reconciling with One Another: Repentance

Selected Scriptures   I hope this series has been useful to you and helpful for you in reconciling relationships because the point of all this is to please God, to glorify God, and to reconcile with him, and then to one another. Sin continues to be a reality in this fallen world, and so we need to understand how to deal with…

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 this series. So we’ll start 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 brother Philip tetrarch of…

How to Preach Repentance, Part 2

Luke 3:10-14 As we pointed out last week, the call to repentance is considered by many today to be something that is an addition to the Gospel, rather than the essence of the Gospel itself. For anyone to insist that there must be fruits of repentance, like John commands here, or that there must be works accompanying genuine faith—that is considered by…

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 provides us—all of us, 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 in order to understand the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. You need to get what John is saying; because otherwise, it’s very easy for you…

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 Iturea and…
