Poor, Hungry, Weeping, Hated Rejectedand Blessed!

The Lord's Day Morning September 6, 2009 Luke 6:12-23 “Poor, Hungry, Weeping, Hated, Rejected…and Blessed!” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 6. We continue now our study in the Gospel of Luke that we began a number of months ago. We left off in Luke 6:1-11, a passage in which the Lord Jesus is teaching us about the Lord's Day, and today we pick up in a passage in Luke 6:12, in which Jesus is gathering His larger circle of disciples, and from them, choosing the twelve who are going to be His inner circle, the disciples into whose lives He is going to pour Himself most closely and the circumstances surrounding that. And the second half of the passage that we're going to read today, all the way down to verse 23, is…

What an Apostle Is For

The Lord's Day Morning November 21, 2004 Titus 1:1-4 “What an Apostle Is For” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Titus 1. We’re continuing to work our way through the Pastoral Epistles, those three letters from an apostle, pastor, elder, veteran missionary evangelist, Paul, to two young ministers of the gospel who were responsible for ministering not only in the settled charges of two congregations, but were responsible for evangelism and missions. We've looked already at the book of I Timothy, we’ll look now at the book of Titus for a few weeks. It's a short letter, it's a short letter, about a page, page and a half. Many of the themes that you’ll find in the letter from Paul to Titus are themes that you will be…

Tension in the Church

3 John 1:9-15 Tension in the Church If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to 3 John. We come today to the last of our studies of the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John. We said the last time when we were together in this book that it's a letter short enough to be written on a single sheet of papyrus, but it packs a big punch for a short letter. It's a letter addressed from John. John calls himself “the elder.” He could have called himself “the apostle” but he refers to himself as an elder just like he does in 2 John, and he speaks to a man named Gaius. We don't know much about Gaius. We just know that he was a beloved leader in this congregation. He was known for his support of missionaries and evangelists and, in fact, it is precisely that support of…

Greetings from an Apostle

Romans 1:1-7Greetings from an Apostle If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 1, as we begin our study in this great what we could call the gospel of Paul to the Romans. And the book of Romans, as we have already mentioned this morning, has been used mightily by God over the course of church history. Many examples come to mind. One, more than 1500 years ago, a young man named Aurelius Augustan born in North Africa, swallowed up with a particular philosophy…
