Got Gratitude?

The Lord's Day Morning February 13, 2011 “Got Gratitude?” Luke 17:11-19 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 17 as we continue our way through this gospel together. We’re going to be looking at verses 11 to 19 together this morning. As you turn to Luke 17, let me remind you that this is not the first time we have seen Jesus heal a leper in the gospel of Luke. We looked at some length at Luke 5:12-14 in which Jesus encountered a leper and healed him. That passage is very different from this one. In Luke 5:12-14 you will remember that Jesus actually reaches out and touches the leper and this would of course have caused a great deal of commotion in the Hebrews around them watching this happen because they…

What Makes Angels Rejoice?

The Lord's Day Morning December 12, 2010 Luke 15:1-10 “What Makes Angels Rejoice?” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke 15. We’re going to be looking at the first ten verses together this morning. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories. The first of those three stories you’ll see in verses 4 to 6, the second of those three stories you’ll see in verses 8 and 9, and the third of those three stories you’ll see in verses 11 to 32. There is a connection. We’re going to be looking at the first of the two stories today. We’ll look at the third story next Lord's Day, God willing, but there is a connection and I want you to notice it. The first story is the story of a lost sheep. The second story is the story of a lost…

Suspended Judgment and a Reason for Judgment

The Lord's Day Morning October 3, 2010 Luke 13:6-17 “Suspended Judgment and a Reason for Judgment” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 13 as we continue our way through the gospel of Luke. And as you turn to Luke 12:6-17, which is the passage we're going to give close attention to today, allow your eyes to scan back to the first five verses of the chapter and even back into the verses at the end of chapter 12, because you’ll remember at the end of chapter 12 Jesus says to those that are listening to Him that they did not understand the times. And He says this as a spiritual indictment of them. They’re really good at predicting the weather, but they really can't tell the nose from their face when it came to…

It’s Not about Martha. It’s about You

The Lord's Day Morning May 9, 2010 Mother's Day Luke 10:38-42 “It's Not About Martha. It's About You.” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III As we continue to prepare for worship, let me invite you to take your hymnals in hand and turn to number 115. Our opening song of praise is “All Creatures of Our God and King,” a glorious text set to one of the most beautiful and majestic hymn tunes that we have. We’re working through the gospel of Luke in our preaching. We've come to the…

What Shall I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?

The Lord's Day Morning May 2, 2010 Luke 10:25-37 “What Shall I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Let us worship God. Lord our God, we have just sung of choirs of angels who sing Your praise and glory in the heavens above and we with feebler lays now come and mingle our voices with theirs, the church militant and the church triumphant, in one accord singing the praises of You, Father, Son, and…

Confession, Christ, Cross, Constraint

The Lord's Day Morning January 24, 2010 Luke 9:18-22 “Confession, Christ, Cross, Constraint” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 9 as we continue our way through the Gospel together. Before we read this passage, a passage of central importance in the gospel of Luke and in the whole story of the Lord Jesus Christ, I want to draw your attention to six parts in the passage so that as we read through you’re able to follow along…

Jesus Is More Than Enough

The Lord's Day Morning January 10, 2010 Luke 9:10-17 “Jesus Is More Than Enough” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 9. As we continue our way through this great gospel, we come to a passage which deals with the feeding of the five thousand. It's a passage which has obvious bearing on the Lord's Supper. It's a passage in which Jesus’ compassion is on vivid display, especially in contrast to His disciples, who…

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…

Are you Laughing or Amazed?

The Lord's Day Morning December 27, 2009 Luke 8:40-56 “Are You Laughing or Amazed?” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 8 as we continue to make our way through the gospel together. This is the next set of miracles in a series of miracles that Luke has been telling us about since at least chapter 5. There are three things in particular I want you to note about the passage before we read it. The first thing is this — you…
