Luke 1:18-20 We’re looking at Luke chapter 1, the first two annunciation narratives. These were essentially birth announcements. When God announces the birth of a special child, He doesn’t send a fancy card in the mail. He sends a messenger from the throne room, an angelic messenger. The particular messenger who spoke to Zechariah more than 2,000 years ago is an…

Luke 1:14-17 I want to begin reading this morning in the text we’re going to study, and that’s Luke 1:13 to 17. Follow along as I read. “The angel said to Zechariah, ‘Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. And you will…
Luke 1:8-13 So, as we saw last time, the story we just kind of dipped our toe into the water a little bit—that story began with a faithful couple, an older couple—a righteous priest named Zechariah and his righteous wife Elizabeth, and as we talked about in some detail last time, they were living in some very, very dark times, this couple.…
Luke 1:5-7 And, as we noted before, Luke goes further back than any other gospel writer in telling the story about Jesus’ life and ministry. He goes all the way back to the angelic announcement of the birth of John the Baptist. Why does he do that? Is he just trying to show up the other gospel writers? No, he’s got…
Selected Scriptures Last week we considered the prologue, and we talked about the author’s diligence in his research, his concern for accuracy and his goal of providing his readers, starting with Theophilus, with certainty about the gospel. The one thing we have not seen in the biblical records is a clear statement about who wrote it. Why do we say Luke…
Luke 1:1-4 We’re going to take some time just at the outset of this study to get this introductory look at Luke. We, we spent some time there last week in introduction. This week, I’ve got one more week of introduction. We want to do a little bit of a biography of Luke, next week, so we’ll talk about that. But it’s…
Luke 1:1-4 Now a reasonable question at this point is to ask is “Why?” Why launch into a long study on the Gospel of Luke? Why chew up all that time, spending all that time in the pulpit in one author’s writings? Won’t that cause us to become a bit out of balance? Whether or not you are asking questions like that…
Colossians 3:5 As we come to our time in God’s Word this morning, obviously, we’re mindful of the communion table prepared before us. The Lord’s table is a very good way, I think, to end the calendar year 2014. We celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior this last Sunday in anticipation of Christmas, and then this Sunday we want to…
