The Twelve: Solidifying the Rock, Part 3

Luke 6:14 Simon was a Galilean fisherman. He was actually the owner of a small fishing business that he operated on the Sea of Galilee, along with his brother Andrew, two of his friends, the two sons of Zebedee, James and John. Simon was not, not a man who was who had been considered in his day an educated man, though he was educated. He just wasn’t educated in the rabbinical schools, but he was a sincere believer in all…

The Twelve: Solidifying the Rock, Part 2

Luke 6:12-16 Luke 6:12 to 16 goes like this, “In these days he,” that is Jesus, “went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named Apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was…

The Twelve: Solidifying the Rock, Part 1

Luke 6:14 So this is sort of a character study, kind of a meditative study on Peter, and we’ll cover some of the other Apostles as well, not in as much detail as we will Peter, but definitely take some time on Peter. I’d like to introduce our study by starting with a monumental moment in Peter’s life and to look at that. Go ahead and turn in your Bibles to the 16th chapter of Matthew. Matthew chapter 16. We’ll…

A General Overview of Twelve Ordinary Men

Luke 6:14-16 Starting there in Luke 6:14, “Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.” We’ve spent time over the past two weeks really learning the significance of this group of men, this list of names, the significance of the Apostles and…

The True Nature of Apostolic Ministry

Luke 6:12-16 We talked about, last week, how Jesus labored through the previous night in prayer, having sensed the direction of divine providence. That God intended to pour a new foundation, for a new temple, for the people of God. This temple was not to be constructed with stone and mortar. It’s not to be layered with silver and gold on the outside. It’s not to be ordained with ornate sculpting or embroidered fabrics.   This temple, from its foundation,…

Our Divinely-Laid Foundation

Luke 6:12-13 So, if you’re in Luke 6, I’m going to start reading there in verse 12. “In these days he,” that is, Jesus, “went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named Apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James…

Why Angels Rejoice

Luke 2:8-14 A holy angel came to say I bring you good news. Good news. That’s a single verb in the language there. It’s translated here in our text using four words, ”I bring you good news.” It’s the verb euangelizo. We transliterate that word into English as the word “evangelize.” It’s the origin of that term that we call ourselves the term evangelical. The word points to the essence of that message that we have received from heaven. That…
