Only This

Philippians 1:27-28 It is a joy to be back in the Book of Philippians once again, even though the circumstances are not as great of a joy.  But it is a joy, nonetheless.  This passage that we’re going to be looking at today—and next week and the next couple of weeks also—I think is especially helpful, and it speaks a special word, a timely word for this age, this time we are currently living in.  So if you can remember…

Behold, Something Greater in Christ

Luke 11:27-32 We are continuing our study of Luke’s gospel and we want to invite you to turn in your Bibles to Luke 11. We are going to be looking at verse 27 and following, and while you’re getting situated, I’ll try to bring you up to speed with what has been going on so far in this section.  The section started back in verse 14 when Jesus cast out a demon from a man and enabled him to speak.…

Lining Up with the Liberator of Souls

Luke 11:17-26 Back once again to Luke’s Gospel. Turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 11. That’s where we are in, in, God’s providence. We are in Luke chapter 11 and we’re looking at Jesus and his ministry of exorcism; casting out demons. One of the, one of the things I like about that song we sang earlier: The God of Abraham Praise. It says, in that first line, “The God of Abraham praise who reigns enthroned above. Ancient of…

Christ, the Coronavirus, and the Cross

Selected Scripture I want you to take some time after that really beautiful time of, of hearing that story read again.  That passion narrative and it’s, it’s good to return to it not only in our Bible reading at different times in the year, but especially at this time.  To reflect and meditate as we’ve done in the reading of Scripture and in the singing that we’ve done together.  Well, I, I keep saying “together.”  We’re not together. We’re all,…

Why They Reject Christ

Luke 11:14-16 I’d ask you to turn in your Bibles, there, to Luke 11 and verse 14, Luke 11:14. That starts a new section and starting today and for the foreseeable future, we’re going to see Jesus as he faces a significant season of controversy, as he responds to what really amounts to a blasphemy. A blasphemous charge against him, against his ministry, but really, more fundamentally, it’s a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. And then the subsequent rejection of…

Why You Should Come and Pray

Luke 11:5-13 Well, we have the joy of turning to Luke’s Gospel, again. This is our ongoing study of this profoundly rich teaching, in the life of our Lord. You can find your way to Luke chapter 11 and verse 5. Luke 11:5.One of the notable features about Luke’s Gospel is his emphasis throughout the gospel on prayer. He, more than any other of the gospel writers, Luke records various parables and teachings from our Lord that center on the…

The Lord’s Prayer, Part 2

Luke 11:4 You can grab your Bibles and open them to Luke 11, one to four and we will finish our study of the Lord’s Prayer, Lord willing. Last week we studied the first three petitions and we’re going to consider the, the, the final two for today. In Luke 11, 2-4, Jesus gave his disciples a pattern for prayer. Teaching them how to pray in response to the request of one of his disciples. And so, Jesus taught them…

The Lord’s Prayer, Part 1

Luke 11:1-4 We are back to our study of Luke’s Gospel. So, we want to ask you to turn to that section on the Lord’s prayer that’s found in Luke 11, one to four. Luke 11, one to four. We’ve been taking our time to understand the privilege that we have of coming to God in prayer, and we have spent a good portion of time to clarify the greatness of the one that we call, father. The one that…

How Living is Christ

Philippians 1:24-26 Please turn in your Bibles to Philippians Chapter 1.  We are going to be continuing through this passage, which is a Part 2 to last week’s sermon.  This morning’s passage also comes directly out of that well-known saying that Paul makes in verse 21.  Let’s quickly remind ourselves of this context which we are studying today.  Let’s look at the end of verse 18 all the way through verse 26 together again. *Yes, and I will rejoice, for…
