Psalm 119 Not By Bread Alone – Give Me Life.…

The Lord's Day Evening January 27, 2013 Not By Bread Alone “Give Me Life. Strengthen Me in Sorrow. Enlarge My Heart.” Psalm 119:25-32 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 119. We’re going to be looking at the fourth section of this alphabetical psalm, working its way through the letters of the Hebrew alphabet starting each of the stanzas of each of the sections with that particular letter of the Hebrew alphabet that is providing the alliteration for the particular section. Tonight it's Doleth, the Hebrew letter, Doleth. And this is a passage that teaches us much about the Christian life. Just looking at the parallels in the language in this passage it's hard to do it justice. There are so many intricate…

The Lord's Day Morning July 22, 2012 “Living Life in Light of Jesus’ Return: A Thief in the Night” 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 as we continue our way through this letter of the apostle Paul. As you’re turning there, let me remind you that at the end of 1 Thessalonians 4 and in these first verses of chapter 5, Paul is addressing specifically the issue of the return of Christ.

The Lord's Day Morning June 17, 2012 “Living Life in Light of Jesus’ Return: A Good Report of Faith and Love” 1 Thessalonians 3:6-13 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to 1 Thessalonians chapter 3 as we continue our way through this the first letter of the apostle Paul. As you’re turning there to 1 Thessalonians chapter 3 we're going to pick up in verse 6. I want to say happy Father's Day to our fathers and say I may have a few words for you from this passage because even though we're working straight through a book of the Bible, Paul has some things that are particularly relevant to us as Christian fathers as we consider this His Word. I want you to be on the lookout for three things as we read. First of…

Spiritual Discipline

The Lord's Day Morning September 5, 2004 I Timothy 4:6-8 Spiritual Discipline Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to I Timothy, chapter four, verse six. Last time we were together in I Timothy 4:1-5, Paul reminded us that in the latter days, those days that we are now living in, the time between the first and second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, in those latter days the church would struggle with false teaching, even in its very midst. And…

In those…
