He Disciplines Us for Our Good

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 12.В We’re going to be looking at the first three verses this morning and especially on the theme, “Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus.”В This whole passage is about living the Christian life, and I want to say just a couple of things about that by way of introduction.В This passage is not telling you how you come to be right with God.В The Bible explains to us that the way that we come to be right with God is through the person and work of Jesus Christ – Christ taking our sins upon Himself and our trusting and resting, receiving Him alone for our salvation as He is offered in the Gospel.В When we address the issue of the Christian life, how you live the Christian life in the New Testament, it is not…

Preparation for God’s Presence

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 12. We’ll be looking at verses 12 to 17 this morning. As we do so, I do want to bring you greeting from your Australian Presbyterian cousins. I’ve enjoyed being with them the last few days in Melbourne and in Sydney, speaking at the Presbyterian Theological College and also speaking at their General Assembly which they hold once every three years. And they have expressed their appreciation to you for sparing me to them and it was a pleasure to be with them and to be refreshed with both new friends and old. I also want to welcome those who are here who are friends and family of the children who have been baptized this morning. It’s always a joy to have you present with us and we trust that you will…

Mt. Zion

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to the book of Hebrews, chapter 12. We’re coming to the end of this great chapter and it’s been a chapter about the living of the Christian life. And in the final verses of this passage that we’re going to read together this morning, the emphasis is going to be on our motivation for living the Christian life. Why you do what you do is very important. It’s very important for a lot of reasons. One of the reasons why you do what you do is important is because it impacts your joy. If you do the right thing for the wrong reason it can rob you of the joy in doing that right thing. If you do the right thing for the right reason it can increase and sustain your joy in doing the right thing. And the author of Hebrews…

Love The Brethren

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Hebrews 13. We’re going to be looking at the first three verses this morning. As we turn there, I’ll remind you that the last time we were together in this book in Hebrews 12, we were emphasizing the proper motivation for the Christian life – why it is that we do what we do. Our motivation is very important in the Christian life. And at the end of Hebrews 12, in fact the whole of that chapter, is very much devoted to…

Honor Marriage

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 13. We’re going to be looking at the fourth verse today, but before we look at that verse I want to ask you to look back to Hebrews 13:1 and follow your eyes down the page to verse 4 and actually go farther to verse 5 so that you understand the flow of thought. The author of Hebrews is telling us how to live the Christian life. Much like the apostle Paul in the first eleven chapters of the book of Romans tells…

Don’t Fall in Love with Money

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me again to Hebrews chapter 13. We’re going to be looking at verses 5 and 6. Now already scanning the congregation, I note a number of people who are here tonight who were not here this morning, so if those who were here this morning will bear with me for just a very brief moment I’ll remind everybody to look back to Hebrews chapter 13 verse 1 and allow your eyes to run down all the way through verses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and get the…

Biblical Church Leadership

Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to I Timothy 3. We've been for a number of months now, on and off, working through the attributes, or the characteristics, or the priorities of a biblical local church; that is, what are the characteristics of a church which in some measure has aspirations for and bears the…

Those Who Led You

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 13. We’re going to be looking today at just verse 7. This might be called, “Finishing-Well Sunday.” I was telling the elders just before we came in that by my calculations I’ve been able to have the privilege of serving the Lord’s Supper in this congregation along with them 137 times in the last seventeen years. And this will be my 138th and last as your pastor, though I trust the Lord will give us…

Let Us Go to Jesus

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 13 and look at verse 8. Our reading is going to be from verses 8 to 14 but go ahead and allow your eyes to scan just a little bit back up the page all the way to verse 1 and notice something. Before we do the reading, I want you to note two interesting things. The first thing I want you to note is this whole chapter is filled with exhortations about living the Christian life. We’ve emphasized that already. …
