The Exclusive Glory of Jesus Christ

Luke 9:32-36 Open your Bibles and turn to Luke 9. We’re going to be returning, here, to Luke’s account of the transfiguration, Luke 9:28-36. We actually started this account last week and learned about the setting for the transfiguration. We heard about the unveiling of Christ’s divine glory, the meeting then, that took place up on the mountain between Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. It’s an amazing scene. And today we’re going to see how God the Father answered the prayer…

The Unveiling of Jesus Christ

Luke 9:28-31 Open your Bibles to Luke chapter 9, and verse 28. Luke 9:28. We’ve come to a place in Luke’s Gospel of particular wonder, and God, here, by the Spirit, is giving us a brief look behind the veil to see the glory of Jesus Christ. That’s what’s on display, here, in Luke 9:28-36. So without further ado, let’s get right into the text. I’m going to read starting in verse 28. “Now about eight days after these sayings…

Abide in Christ

John 15:1-11 John 15, John 15 is where we’ll go. We’ve been learning so many rich truths from Christ in Luke 9 and from Paul in 1 Corinthians 3, which is what Josh taught last week. And I know, like you, we are so eager and filled with joy to obey the teaching of God’s Word. That is a good, godly instinct. That is something an, an affection that is known by every true Christian, a desire to obey, and…

Why We Follow, Part 2

Luke 9:24-27 Let’s open our Bibles to Luke 9:23. Today we hope to finish studying this what is really a challenging, challenging call to discipleship that’s been issued by Jesus Christ. Luke 9:23,that verse says, “He said to all, ‘If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me.’” And that call sounds as radical in our day as it did in his. It strikes our ears as a severe…

Why We Follow, Part 1

Luke 9:24-27 Take your Bibles, and we’re going to go back to this pivotal portion of Jesus’ teaching in Luke chapter 9. So I invite you turn to Luke chapter 9, and we are in verses 23-27. This is Jesus’ call,his callto anyone who will listen, really, anyone who is listening and willing to listen, calling them to follow him in permanent discipleship. We’re going to read this section again today, Luke 9:23-27, and I’m hoping that by reading this…

The Deliverance of Discipleship

Luke 9:23 Back on January 20th, we got an introduction to this most pivotal text, Luke 9:23. If you’re not there already, I’d ask you to turn there in your Bibles, Luke 9:23. We want to return, there, today. It’s probably fair to say that we’ve all been arrested by this text. I certainly have. In fact, I kind of feel like Peter at the Transfiguration. I just want to make some booths and camp here for a long, long…
