Falling Away?

The Lord's Day Morning April 28, 2013 Better“Falling Away?”Hebrews 6:4-12 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 6 as we continue our way through this letter. And as you know, this is one of the great warning passages of Hebrews 6. Hebrews 6 verses 4 to 8, and then again that passage in Hebrews 10:1, comprise two of the most terrifying warning passages in all the Scriptures. David Martyn Lloyd Jones, the famous preacher in London, England, said that he had seen over the course of thirty-five years ministry more Christians caused to struggle with their assurance because of misunderstanding this passage than perhaps any other passage in Scripture. He said, “It's not that this is the hardest passage in…

The Rest that Remains

The Lord's Day Morning March 17, 2013 Better “The Rest That Remains” Hebrews 4:1-13 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 4 as we continue our way through this great book. You may remember the last time as we looked at Hebrews chapter 3 verses 7 to 19 we said that that section of Hebrews, running all the way through the passage that we're going to be studying today, is in, one sense, a sermon on Psalm 95 verses 7 to 11. He quotes Psalm 95 verses 7 to 11 in Hebrews chapter 3 and then he begins to expound on it. He preaches us a message from Psalm 95 and that message continues today. In fact, it's something that occurs in the last verse of Psalm 95 that gets him going on the theme of “rest.” You…

Don’t Stop Believing

The Lord's Day Morning March 10, 2013 Better “Don't Stop Believing” Hebrews 3:7-19 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 3. It's been three weeks since we've been in Hebrews together, so allow your eyes to look back to Hebrews 3:1-6. We’re going to be concentrating on verses 7 to 19 this morning, and refresh your mind as to the content of that passage because it will help you understand why the author of Hebrews is addressing us about this particular topic this morning. If you look at Hebrews 3 verses 1 to 6 you will notice that the author of Hebrews is comparing Moses and Jesus and he compliments Moses’ faithfulness to the Lord in his service of the Lord to the children of Israel in the…

More Glory Than Moses

The Lord's Day Morning February 17, 2013 Better “More Glory Than Moses” Hebrews 3:1-6 The Reverend Dr. J.

We’re going to be looking at verses 1 to 6 as we continue in a new chapter in our study of the book of Hebrews together. We've said all along that Hebrews is a book that is focused on Jesus. The theme for our series is “Better” and that's drawn from the book of Hebrews…

The Lord's Day Evening February 10, 2013 Not by Bread Alone “According to Your Promise” Psalm 119:41-48 The Reverend Dr. J.

We’re going to be looking at the section which runs from verses 41 to 48 as we continue our way through this great psalm on the theme, “Not by Bread Alone.” And yet again we meet a passage here that teaches us how to live. How do you live the Christian life? Exactly how…

He Surrounds His People

If you have your Bibles, please turn with me to Psalm 125 as we continue our way through the fifth book of the Psalms. The psalmist again, and we've seen this already several times — look back at Psalm 121. “I lift my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?” And then again in Psalm 123. “To You I lift up my eyes.” As the pilgrims make their way towards Jerusalem, their eyes are on the mountains and the hills and it sets them to thinking, thinking about where their help…
