Always Pray. Don’t Lose Heart

The Lord's Day Morning March 20, 2011 “Always Pray. Don't Lose Heart.” Luke 18:1-8 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 18. We’re going to be looking at verses 1 to 8. This passage is connected with the passage that we studied last Lord's Day, a passage that dealt with the final judgment and with the kingdom and with the coming of Christ. That discussion last week was directed to the disciples; so is this passage. But it was directed to the disciples in the context of questions from the Pharisees to Jesus about the kingdom, about the judgment, which prompted Him to speak of His own coming and to tell them that their focus on the signs of the coming of the kingdom was misdirected and that there…

He Called. He Gave. He Sent

The Lord's Day Morning January 3, 2010 Luke 9:1-9 “He called. He gave. He sent.” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III We’re looking at a passage in which Jesus commissions His disciples to preach the circuit, a short preaching assignment in the villages and towns in the area in which they presently found themselves. As we look at this passage I do want you to keep your eyes out for three or four things. In verses 1 and 2, you see Jesus call His disciples and engift His disciples and send His disciples. I especially want you to be thinking about the phrases, “He called, He gave, and He sent.” Those should remind you of some things you've heard before in the Old Testament when God called Israel out of Egypt and gave to them promises and blessings and commands and sent them into the land…

The Lord’s Day Evening November 5, 2006 Ephesians 6:19-20 “God’s New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians (LX) The Full Armor of God (4): Praying for Preachers Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 6. We are now at the penultimate sermon in this series on the Book of Ephesians. One more to go! Tonight we’re looking at the end of the passage that deals with the armor of God. We’ve been going through that section in Ephesians that has to do with the full armor of God. The last time we were together in this book we began to look at the prayer that was designed to undergird the whole of the armor that God has appointed for believers to wear. Tonight we’re looking specifically at…

The Lord's Day Evening October 21, 2006 Ephesians 6:17-18 “God's New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians (LIX) The Full Armor of God (3): Word and Prayer” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me again to Ephesians 6, as we continue through this section on the armor of God. We've been looking at this great and important and beloved passage for a couple of weeks now. When we looked at the first two or three verses…

The Lord's Day Evening October 15, 2006 Ephesians 6:13-17 “God's New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians (LVIII) The Full Armor of God (2): Spiritually Armed” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd ask you to turn again to Ephesians 6, as we continue to look at this section called “The Armor of God” especially from verses 10 down to verse 18; but really, we’ll use this as our subtitle or theme title for the rest of the book, to the very end of verse 24. Last…

The Lord's Day Evening October 8, 2006 Ephesians 6:10-12Our Struggle is Not Against Flesh and Blood Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 6, and as you do so I would remind you that we've come to a new section — the final section of this book as we study it together. We've recently worked through a section that began in Ephesians 5:22 and stretched all the way to Ephesians 6:9, dealing with God's…

Justification by Grace Through Faith (2)

Romans 3:21-26 (4) Justification by Grace Through Faith If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3, verse 21. We’ll look at this section of Romans one more time. We’ve been working our way through the whole gospel, and we’ve paused, and we have tarried for three weeks, breaking apart Romans 3:21 through 26 into three parts. And today I’d like to perhaps pull it back together, summarize, focus on especially some of the terms which are unfamiliar to us to…

Paul’s Good News (The Theme of Romans)

Romans 1:16-17 Paul’s Good News (The Theme of Romans) If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you turn with me to Romans, chapter 1, as we continue to work through Paul’s letter. In the first fifteen verses of this book Paul has successively given greetings to the Romans, shared a brief prayer report of what he had been praying about for them, and has given them an explicit expression of why it was that he wanted to come minister to them. We have seen the gospel of God at the very center of…
