Abundant Grace

The Lord's Day Morning July 24, 2005 Ephesians 1:7-8 “Abundant Grace” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter one, as we continue to study through this great letter of the Apostle Paul; a letter which, of course, ultimately comes to us by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is addressed to every Christian, because God's word is profitable and is designed for our discipleship, to equip us for every good work, and so it comes to us from the very mouth of God for our edification. Now, before we look at the passage that we're going to concentrate on today, verses 7 and 8, I want to remind you a little bit of where we have already come. When we looked at Ephesians 1:3-4, the beginning of this prayer, we…

Power in the Blood

Wednesday Evening May 25, 2005 Leviticus 17:1-16 “Power in the Blood” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter 17. This is a strange chapter. It's a chapter that talks a lot about animal blood, and how the Old Testament people of God were to think of and treat animal blood. You may wonder why the Lord would devote a chapter in an important book about the public worship of God and the private morality of the people of God to the subject of blood. Well, you already know that from the beginning pages of Scripture, when Cain slew his brother Abel, that Moses recorded that when Cain did this atrocious thing–what happened? That Abel's “righteous blood cried out from the ground.” You remember the strictures that…

Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement

Wednesday Evening May 11, 2005 Leviticus 16:1-34 “Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III This is an extraordinarily rich passage. It's a passage which deals with the Day of Atonement and the ritual that was required of the high priest before he engaged in the other rituals that were attendant upon the Day of Atonement. This was the yearly, the annual feast at which Israel gathered; and, despite all of these other sacrifices that we've learned about (and rituals that we've learned about) in Leviticus 1-15, this all-encompassing sin offering was offered up not only for the high priest, not only for the other priests of his household, but for the whole of Israel, because to draw near to a holy God required the covering of sin. Because Israel, though…

Amazing Remedies

Wednesday Evening April 27, 2005 Leviticus 14:1-57 “Amazing Remedies” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter 14. Sometimes you get to passages in the Bible that are unfamiliar, and they’re difficult; and you study them, and you come away from them still not quite sure what the Lord is saying to you, having studied them. Well, I'm happy to say that this is not one of those passages tonight! It is not the most…

Blood on the Altar

The Lord's Day Evening January 2, 2005 Leviticus 7:1-10 “Blood on the Altar” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you’ll open your Bibles to Leviticus chapter one. If you’ll look at chapter one, for instance, we studied there the burnt offering, the offering that is called the holocaust, that is entirely consumed in the fire. And when we studied Leviticus 1, we saw that that offering taught us about the importance about right worship to God. God is clearly concerned how we worship Him, because…

Slain Before the Lord: The Sin Offering

The Lord's Day Evening November 28, 2004 Leviticus 6:24-30 “Slain Before the Lord: The Sin Offering” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter six. Last week we were looking at Leviticus 6:19-23, and at the priestly grain offering. And we saw several things in that passage of note. First of all, the emphasis on consecration: the way that Aaron and his sons were to express, to visibly manifest their consecration of the whole…

Keep the Fire Burning: The Burnt Offering

The Lord's Day Evening November 7, 2004 Leviticus 6:8-13 “Keep the Fire Burning: The Burnt Offering” The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter six. The last time we were together in Leviticus–at least, you and I–was back on October 17. Now, Derek was with you looking at that transition, the final offering described in that first section of Leviticus one through six, a passage that began in chapter five and…

The Sacrifice of Peace: The Fellowship Offering

The Lord's Day Evening October 10, 2004 Leviticus 3:1-17 “The Sacrifice of Peace: The Fellowship Offering” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III I invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter three. As we began our study of the Book of Leviticus, we observed a number of things about the structure of this book. The first half deals with the various sacrifices, the ordination of the priests, and culminates in chapter sixteen with the description of the sacrifice of atonement on the Day of Atonement.…

Drawing neat Through Death: The Burnt Offering

The Lord's Day Evening September 26, 2004 Leviticus 1:1-17 “The Burnt Offering” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, turn with me to the third book of the Old Testament, the third of Moses’ five books, or The Pentateuch–the book of Leviticus. Tonight we begin a study in this great book. Now perhaps this is the first time that you have worked your way through the book of Leviticus. Never fear, there is a New Testament counterpart that does much to help us understand the…
