175 and Counting: The Bible Tell Me So

The Lord's Day Morning March 11, 2012 “175 and Counting: The Bible Tells Me So” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to 1 Timothy, sorry, 2 Timothy chapter 3 verses 16 and 17. For the last few weeks we've been in a series called “175 and Counting” and we've tackled a few topics of crucial interest and importance to us as a congregation and to the Christian Church in general. We've addressed the issue of discipleship that being a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ is more than about praying a prayer or making a decision or claiming to be a follower of Christ.

The Bible Tells Me So

The Lord's Day Morning May 22, 2005 II Timothy 3:16-17 “The Bible Tells Me So” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to II Timothy, chapter three.

He's encouraging Timothy in the fact that Timothy has, to a great extent, followed his example. Now, it would be very easy…

The Reunion

Genesis 45:1-28 The Reunion If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 45. All along as we've studied the life of Joseph, we've said the overarching theme of God's providence is apparent, though Joseph may be the principal human actor, the whole of the story shows God as the one who is the prime mover in the life of Joseph.

The story tells us how in God's providence He would make His people the tribe of Israel into a great nation, but the story shows so much more. In fact, in the passage we're going to see tonight we will see just a glimpse of the manifold wisdom of God. How God in His promise and in His providence can do many things at once. He has a purpose, He has revealed it in…
