The Devilish Barrier of Bad Religion

Luke 8:10-12 When his disciples asked him what this parable meant, he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see and hearing they may not understand. Now the parable is this. The seed is the word of God. The ones along the path are those who have heard, and the devil comes and takes away the word from…

The Powerful Purpose of Parables

Luke 8:4-10 Let’s take our Bibles in hand and turn over to Luke 8. Luke 8. As I’ve said, we’re going to be looking at the first part here of the Parable of the Sower, Luke 8:4 through 10. And then we’re going to get to the rest of that parable, the explanation of the parable that Jesus gives, we’ll get to that next week. As you heard when we read in Scripture reading just a moment ago, the Parable…

The Training of the Twelve

Luke 8:4-56 Want to invite you to turn your Bibles to Luke 8.  And we’re gonna do something just a little bit different this morning.  Last week we transitioned actually from Luke 7 to, chapter 7 to chapter 8.  As you’re going to see, the, the territory into which we’re heading does require some continuity in the schedule.  So once again, in God’s good and wise providence, he’s given us a Sunday here that allows me to provide an overview…

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…
