Revive Us Again

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to take them, open them, and turn with me to Psalm 85 as we continue to work our way through the Third Book of the Psalms. You may remember…way back, we started working through the Psalms in the First Book in Psalm 1, and then we studied the Book of Genesis, and then we came back after studying Genesis and looked at the Second Book of the Psalms. And then we studied Exodus and Leviticus, and now we're in the Third Book of the Psalms, and after we finish this then we’ll look at Numbers, and then we’ll look at the Fourth Book of the Psalms, and then we’ll come back and we’ll look at Deuteronomy (should the Lord tarry), and that way work through this great book. And all along we've said the Psalms are not simply a record of Old…

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…

The Wave: The Fellowship Offering

Wednesday Evening January 12, 2005 Leviticus 7:11-38 “The Wave” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter 7. We began working through the Book of Leviticus last summer, and our study has moved around to different places: in the autumn it was on Sunday nights, and we were studying on Lord's Day evenings through the first few chapters of Leviticus; during December we took a break and looked at some of the great songs of Christmas that focus upon the coming of our Lord into this world for our redemption, and we looked at the biblical passages upon which they were based, and focused on the doctrine of the incarnation and its manifold applications to the Christian life, and attempted to come to a more rooted understanding…

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…

Up to my Neck: The Christian Experience of Pleading for…

Psalm 69 is a great Psalm. What hymn comes to mind that you would sing when you are experiencing reproach and shame and discouragement? I can think of a few but not many that speak as frankly as this Psalm speaks. When you’re searching for the words to say, when you feel like you’re drowning and you can't feel the bottom and you can't come up for air, where do you go? Well, one place would be right here in Psalm 69. Before we read and hear God's word, let's pray and ask for…

A Word of Assurance

1 John 2:12-14 A Word of Assurance Turn with me to 1John chapter 2, as we continue our study through this great book. Now, it's been almost a month since we've been together in 1 John, so we should perhaps remind ourselves of what we've seen so far. This book is a book about the Christian life. In fact, John tells us in this book that to live the Christian life is to experience a fellowship with the Triune God. Or to put it another way around: Those who fellowship with the Triune God…

Dealing With Sin (2)

1 John 2:1-2Dealing With Sin (2) Turn with me to 1 John, and look at chapter 1 before we begin to look at chapter 2. If you don't have your Bibles, the pew Bible is available to you, and 1 John is towards the end of the New Testament right before the book of Revelation and before the book of Jude and, of course, 2nd and 3rd John, and so right towards the end of the Bible. We've been working through the book of 1 John, and we've said that in the end of chapter 1 of the book of 1 John,…

Dealing With Sin

1 John 1:8-10Dealing With Sin If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to 1 John 1. We’ll begin looking at the eighth verse today. For a couple of weeks now, we've been looking at the book of 1 John as part of a series on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John; and we've already said that 1 John is a book which deals with the Christian life. And it helps us to ask and answer questions like what does a true Christian look like? How do you tell the difference between somebody who…

Justification By Faith Means Freedom From God’s…

Romans 5:9-11 Justification by Faith Means Freedom from God's Wrath Through this great chapter in Paul’s book, in which he speaks to us of the implications of justification. True believers love to meditate upon the doctrine of justification. There are many reasons for that. Reminds us of what our Lord Jesus has done for us that we might be brought into friendship and fellowship with the heavenly father, forever. It is also so important to our assurance, isn’t it? Most of us, all of us…
