God’s World: Its Nature and Effects as Applied to the Believer in Contrast to the Virtual World

Psalm 19:1-6 If you would turn with me in your Bibles for our message this morning to Psalm 19, and as you turn to Psalm 19, I was directed to this passage in the Lord’s good Providence as I recently read a book called, “12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You” by Tony Reinke. And if you ran into me during the conference in the conference bookstore, you probably heard me tell you that if you were going to buy…

The Lord’s Chosen Cornerstone

Luke 20:16-19 Well, we are back in Luke 20 this morning, this week, to finish the parable of the wicked tenants or the Lord’s tenant problem, and what he was dealing with, and the tenants who had control of his vineyard. This week we’re looking at the final section of the parable. We’re gonna start by reading the parable. You’ll find that in Luke 20, verse 9 and following. We’ll read the parable, get a quick review, and then see…

The Lord’s Tenant Problem

Luke 20:9-16 Well, you can turn to Luke 20 in your Bibles this morning, Luke 20, as we continue our exposition of Luke’s Gospel. Luke chapter 20 and verse 9. Over the past few weeks in our study, we have seen the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ on display as He came into his temple, the temple in Jerusalem, as he cleared away all that offended God the Father. As he reclaimed the Temple of God for God’s purpose,…

The Authority Controversy, Part 2

Luke 20:5-8 Well, we are back in Luke 20 and the authority controversy that erupted in Israel. And so you can turn to Luke 20 to see this authority controversy that erupted in Israel when Jesus came to the Temple, reclaimed the Temple for God. Last week I got through half my points, which was more than half of my sermon, and so I chopped it off right in the middle. And I’ve been able to go back to the…

The Authority Controversy, Part 1

Luke 20:1-4 Luke chapter 20 as we get into this section, I think I mentioned it a little bit last week, but we’re getting into ah, the final section of Luke’s Gospel. The, the last 20 percent, if you’re keeping count of Luke’s Gospel. And the section that we’re into here, we’re gonna see this happening over the next couple of chapters where Jesus is in confrontations with the religious leaders of the Jews. This whole section has to do…

Christ Cleanses the Temple

Luke 19:45-48 Well, I’d like to invite you to turn to the Gospel of Luke this morning. Luke 19:45. It’s so good to be back with you. I can’t believe how long I’ve been gone, but it is, it is really a joy, a privilege for me to open the word of God with you to this morning. I count it such a high and holy honor that we get to do this together, such a joy. As we get…

Jonah’s Callous Heart Confronted

Jonah 4 If you would turn in your copy of the scriptures to Jonah and as we come to the end of the book of Jonah, we’re reminded of the beginning of the book. As we see Jonah at the end, he resembles much the same hard hearted, calloused man that he resembled at the beginning in chapter 1. When Yahweh initially commissioned Jonah in chapter 1 to go preach against Nineveh, Jonah fled in the other direction to go…

Yahweh’s Compassion Comes to Nineveh

Jonah 3 We are in the middle of a series on the book of Jonah, so if you want to turn there now in your Bibles you can. It’s been personally an encouraging study. It’s been encouraging us to compassion for the lost, even the most wicked and vile of people. It’s been an encouragement in the midst of trials, even discipline from the Lord to repent, to trust in the one who controls all things and is working all…
