The Telltale Sign of Sinner and Saint

Luke 7:44-50 Luke 7, verse 36 to the end of the chapter. And as you’re turning there, I’d like to ask you a question, and I hope that by what has already been evidently a theme in our service already this morning, I hope you’re set up for the answer. Here’s the question: What do you think is the defining mark of being a Christian? What do you think is the defining mark of being a Christian? We’re not talking…

Jesus Loves the Pharisee Too

Luke 7:39-43 I’d like to invite you to turn in your Bibles to Luke 7:36.In our continuing study of Luke’s Gospel, and as you’re turning there, I’m just going to remind you briefly of what we covered last week. I don’t want to repreach the sermon but do want to just kind of warm you up a bit, give you a little bit of a reminder. Jesus has here been invited to dinner by a Pharisee, one of those Pharisees,…

A Lesson in Worship from a Sinful Woman

Luke 7:36-38 It is our joy, my joy, to come back to our study in the Gospel of Luke. I am very excited and eager to get into the text this morning. So you want to turn over to Luke chapter 7 and verse 36. I’m gonna begin this morning in just a moment here by reading the text. This week, next week, maybe another week after that, I don’t we’ll see, but we’re gonna see in this passage, which…

Abounding in Resurrection Certainty

1 Corinthians 15:20-28 Last weekend, it was a wonderful weekend for celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Every year, we proclaim the resurrection on Easter Sunday, and because we know that people visit our church who may not know Jesus Christ personally, we like to use that opportunity every year to make sure they get a very clear gospel presentation. That’s what I endeavored to do last week. And I have to admit that I have mixed emotions about that.…

The Full Message of God’s Salvation

Acts 13:23-41 When all our praise is directed to our God, the Living God who saves us, who called us to a holy calling and who is alone worthy of all of our glory and honor and praise. Among all of his manifold mercies, our God sent Jesus Christ to live and to die, and to rise again in order to save us from our sins. Somebody asked me what I planned to preach for resurrection Sunday. We’ve been working…

Strong Encouragement for New Believers

Luke 7:18-35 In the good providence of God, we have a unique opportunity today.  This Sunday, today is not just a Baptism Sunday, it’s not just a Right Hand of Fellowship Sunday, as we bring new members into our fellowship.  But it’s also, as you can see before you, it’s a Communion Sunday.  And God has granted us just a little time, maybe some unhurried moments that we can use to prepare ourselves to partake of the Lord’s Table together…

A Lesson in Discernment from Children at Play

Luke 7:31-35 As we get started this morning, I want to ask you to turn your Bibles to Luke Chapter 7.  Luke Chapter 7.  We intend this morning to finish up what’s been a lengthy section and a wonderful study of instruction from the Lord on the significance of the ministry of John the Baptist.  If I could, kind of summarize, so we can get our arms around the significance of what we have learned so far in this section…

Winnowing the Heart

Luke 7:29-30 We are in Luke’s Gospel, and we are in an ex, expositional study, as you know. Started some time ago in Luke 1:1, and we have been moving through verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter through Luke’s Gospel. It’s been a rewarding study for our church to sort of rediscover together for ourselves the real story of Christianity. Every now and again it’s good for us to return to the source documents and learn from the Lord Jesus Christ himself, how he…
