Teaching from 2024 (Page 6)
Dismantling the Robbers’ Den
Luke 21:6-7 Turn in your bibles to Luke 21, Luke 21, which is the Olivet Discourse and it is an amazing chapter of teaching and it’s also, just want to point this out, that it is, it’s the final discourse in Luke’s Gospel. The final discourse of Jesus’ teaching; a full section of Jesus’ teaching in the Gospel of Luke. So it’s, it’s, fitting that the last extended teaching before the cross is about, last things. He’s looking to the…
The Admiration of Desolation
Luke 21:5-6 Well, as we enter into our study of Luke’s Gospel and return to it, we come to a fascinating section called the Olivet Discourse. Which you’ll find in Luke 21, if you could turn to Luke 21 in your bibles, Luke 21:5 and following is the section that we’re entering into. This is known as the Olivet Discourse because that’s where he taught this, on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, overlooking the Temple. Luke in his…
A Life to Be Envied
Psalm 1 As we come to God’s Word this morning, I’d like to look at the first Psalm of the psalter, Psalm 1. Psalm 1 is kind of been on my heart lately and I want to work through this Psalm with you. And so Psalm, I believe, of David, it is not given an ascription of authorship in the Psalm. But Psalm 1 and 2 really do go together and Psalm 2 is referred to as the Psalm of…
The Meekness of Christ
Selected Scriptures From time to time in our study of Luke’s Gospel, I like to pause and reflect on a theme, a theme that’s coming up in our, in our study. And since I was invited recently to a conference, and since that conference theme was, “Remember Jesus Christ,” I thought this would be a fitting time to reflect on a theme in Luke’s Gospel. And I knew that I could practice out there, make all my mistakes, and then…
The Serious Nature of Sinful Partiality
James 2:8-13 Turn in your Bibles to James, chapter 2, James, chapter 2. And this morning we’re going to be finishing up this fairly long section of James’ instruction when it comes to the sin of partiality. This will be the third sermon that I’ve done, the third sermon from this section; and if you remember, in the first one we just kind of introduced the issue. We just looked at verse 1. We defined what sinful partiality is a…
God’s Grace to Miserable Mankind
Romans 3:21-26 It is wonderful to be back again this morning with you all. Last week we would begin two-part miniseries looking at the sinfulness of man and the righteousness of God. This morning is what we’ll get to out of Romans chapter 3. So, if you’re not there, go ahead and turn with me to Romans chapter 3. And last week, we looked at verses 9 to 20, which was Paul’s picture of miserable mankind. And Paul painted a…
Paul’s Portrait of Miserable Mankind
Romans 3:9-20 Today and next week we’re gonna be in Romans chapter 3. So if you’re not there already, please turn there in, in, your Bibles. And my prayer, as we look at these verses the next couple weeks, my prayer is that we would have just a reinvigorated, a renewed appreciation for the salvation provided for us in Jesus Christ. Just to like in that song we just sang, highlighting our sinfulness in contrast to what our Savior has…
Correcting our Perspective on Partiality
James 2:2-7 Today we come to a section that would maybe be a little odd normally for a one-off sermon, but it is in the kind providence of God, it actually fits quite nicely with where Travis was last week at the end of Luke 20 and the beginning of Luke 21, in that excellent sermon that you should go listen to if you have not heard it yet. But if you remember, last week Travis talked about in his…
