Brought Very Low

The Lord's Day Evening November 13, 2005 Psalm 79 “Brought Very Low” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. We’re in Psalm 79 as we continue to work our way through the Third Book of the Psalms. We read and worked through all too briefly a long Psalm last week. This is a short Psalm this week; a very poignant Psalm. Let me remind you of the circumstances in the context of this Psalm. Jerusalem has been destroyed. The Babylonians have visited destruction and desecration on the house of the Lord. Many of the children of Israel have been taken off into captivity. Hundreds – thousands — have been left dead, literally…their bodies in the streets. And these words are from the account of an eyewitness or eyewitnesses; perhaps Jews who were not carried off into…

Capital Crimes and Consequences: Getting Radical in…

Wednesday Evening June 29, 2005 Leviticus 20:1-27 “Capital Crimes and Consequences: Getting Radical in Response to Sin” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter 20, as we continue our study through this code of holiness, the holiness code of the second half of the Book of Leviticus. And having come to the twentieth chapter, we have come to a passage again in which the penalties for specific sins are enumerated, indicating just how radically God was willing to deal with sin in the people of Israel. Let me point you back to chapter 19, and then let me outline chapter 20 for you briefly, and perhaps that will help you as we read what's a fairly long chapter together. Let me point you back to chapter 19 and just remind…

Sin at Sinai

Exodus 32:1-10 Sin at Sinai Open your Bibles please to Exodus 32, as we continue to work our way through this great book. You may remember that from Exodus 25 to 31, God in great detail explains the structure at which He will meet with His people in worship, and the way in which His people must come to Him in worship. So, the totality of that section is given over to the subject of how you meet with and worship God, and how you give glory to God. Now, that is a profound irony in light of our present text, because as Moses is up on top of the mountain, hearing in intricate detail how God has provided for and taken initiative for His people so that they might come into His presence, down at the bottom of the mountain, His people are taking initiative to decide how they are going to come into…

A Taste of His Own Medicine

Genesis 29:21-35 A Taste of His Own Medicine If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 29. You may actually want to keep open your hymnals to 558 because I want to come back to Psalm 1, and I want you to think about something that the Lord says in that Psalm that we've just sung. It pertains to Jacob. As we review the life of Jacob, you may ask yourself up to the point that we begin reading tonight is the Lord's word as set forth in Psalm 1 really coming true…

The Godly Line

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 5. We have seen God's glorious work of creation recounted in Genesis 1. We've seen His special favor toward mankind recounted in Genesis 2. We've come to the saddest moment in human history in Genesis 3. The doctrinal point of that passage, of course, is to show in the words of the Apostle Paul that sin came into the world through one man and thus death through sin. And, of course with sin came misery, not…

The Beginnings of Culture

In Genesis, chapter 4 we have seen God's glorious work of creation recounted in Genesis 1. Specifically the creation of Adam and Eve and the covenant relationship that God established with them in Genesis 2. We have seen that sad picture of the fall in Genesis 3 and in our study of the first half of Genesis 4, we've already begun to see the effects of the fall in human history. And tonight as we come to Genesis 4, verses 16 through 26, we view there the unfolding of the original human…

Reaping the Whirlwind

Please turn in your Bibles to Genesis 4 as we continue our study in the foundations of the faith. We have seen God's glorious work of creation accounted in Genesis 1. We've seen more specifically the special relationship established between the Lord and Adam in Genesis 2 and the stipulations of the covenant of works in Genesis 3. We have seen that fellowship disrupted, and really from Genesis 3 all the way to about Genesis 6:8, we have a study in sin. The nature of sin. The consequences…
