Suspended Judgment and a Reason for Judgment

The Lord's Day Morning October 3, 2010 Luke 13:6-17 “Suspended Judgment and a Reason for Judgment” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 13 as we continue our way through the gospel of Luke. And as you turn to Luke 12:6-17, which is the passage we're going to give close attention to today, allow your eyes to scan back to the first five verses of the chapter and even back into the verses at the end of chapter 12, because you’ll remember at the end of chapter 12 Jesus says to those that are listening to Him that they did not understand the times. And He says this as a spiritual indictment of them. They’re really good at predicting the weather, but they really can't tell the nose from their face when it came to…

It’s Not about Martha. It’s about You

The Lord's Day Morning May 9, 2010 Mother's Day Luke 10:38-42 “It's Not About Martha. It's About You.” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III As we continue to prepare for worship, let me invite you to take your hymnals in hand and turn to number 115. Our opening song of praise is “All Creatures of Our God and King,” a glorious text set to one of the most beautiful and majestic hymn tunes that we have. We’re working through the gospel of Luke in our preaching. We've come to the very end of Luke chapter 10 and this is the passage where Martha and Mary host Jesus in their home. It is the perfect passage for Mother's Day and I did not plan this so I’ll be delighted to be in God's Word with you at the end of Luke chapter 10. Because it is Mother's Day I thought you…

What Shall I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?

The Lord's Day Morning May 2, 2010 Luke 10:25-37 “What Shall I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Let us worship God. Lord our God, we have just sung of choirs of angels who sing Your praise and glory in the heavens above and we with feebler lays now come and mingle our voices with theirs, the church militant and the church triumphant, in one accord singing the praises of You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We ask that You would come down now and dwell amongst us by Your Spirit that we might worship You in spirit and in truth, that where two or three are gathered in Your name there You would be in the midst of Your people. May Your word dwell richly within our hearts this morning. May the…

Are you Laughing or Amazed?

The Lord's Day Morning December 27, 2009 Luke 8:40-56 “Are You Laughing or Amazed?” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 8 as we continue to make our way through the gospel together. This is the next set of miracles in a series of miracles that Luke has been telling us about since at least chapter 5. There are three things in particular I want you to note about the passage before we read it. The first thing is this — you…

The Man Jesus Renamed

The Lord's Day Morning December 13, 2009 Luke 8:26-39 “The Man Jesus Renamed” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 8 and this great story of the man who was possessed by demons, liberated by the Lord Jesus Christ. Derek Thomas was reminding me this morning that Ridderbos, in his famous book, The Coming of the Kingdom, records seventeen different interpretations that he had found of this particular parable. Now I must say that…

The Winds and Waves Still Know

The Lord's Day Morning December 6, 2009 Luke 8:22-25 “The Winds and Waves Still Know” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Luke tells groups of miracle stories in his gospels. It's obvious when you read them and then you compare them side by side that he has different things in mind that he wants to emphasize to you about these different miracle stories. For instance, if you look at an earlier group of miracle stories in the gospel of Luke they are focused upon occasions when Jesus does these…

God Has Visited His People

The Lord's Day Morning October 18, 2009 Luke 7:1-17 “God Has Visited His People” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 7 as we continue our way through the great gospel of Luke. In this passage, Luke is telling us two stories that are designed to help us and his original readers appreciate more fully who Jesus is. Throughout Luke's gospel and the other gospels, the gospel writers are driving home the point that Jesus is…

Healing and Forgiving

The Lord's Day Morning May 17, 2009 Baptism Sunday Luke 5:12-26 “Healing and Forgiving” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Dr. Duncan: As we prepare to worship, let me invite you to take your hymnals in hand and turn to No. 34. Our opening hymn is going to be The God of Abraham Praise, and it's a perfect hymn for Baptism Sunday because it reminds us of the covenant of grace made with Abraham, which the Apostle Paul says is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. And so it's perfect for a service in…

How Jesus Makes Disciples

The Lord's Day Morning May 10, 2009 Luke 5:1-11 “How Jesus Makes Disciples” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 5. As we continue to work our way through this Gospel, let me remind you that the last time we were with the Lord Jesus in this Gospel, at the end of Luke 4, Jesus was preaching in Galilee and in Judea and was proclaiming the kingdom of God. We talked about what that meant for His proclamation to be about the…
