Fulfilling the Law-Finding the Messiah

The Lord's Day Morning March 1, 2009 Luke 2:21-40 “Fulfilling the Law — Finding the Messiah” The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III For a number of weeks now we've been working our way through this great Gospel. We've taken a break the last couple of weeks for our Missions Conference, but we return picking up right where we left off, in Luke 2:21, as Luke introduces us to the very earliest days of Jesus’ life. Now as he does this, it's important for us to remember that the Apostle Paul states very clearly in Romans 1:17 that his philosophy of ministry was to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. That is, as he went around in the synagogues of Asia Minor, his pattern was to go to synagogue three Sabbath days in a row, preach the gospel from the Old Testament, and then…

The Laws of Offerings

Wednesday Evening February 6, 2008 Numbers 28:1-31 Numbers — With God in the Wilderness: “The Laws of Offerings” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 28, as we continue our way through this great book. A couple of weeks ago, we were looking at the long list of names of the heads of families of the tribes of Israel recorded in the census in Numbers 26, and we noted that among other things the names and numbers were listed there for…

Zeal of Phinehas

Wednesday Evening Numbers 25:1-18 Numbers — With God in the Wilderness: “The Zeal of Phinehas” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Please open your Bibles to Numbers 25. The last time we were in Numbers together, we were finishing the story of Balaam. And the last we heard of Balaam (or so we thought) was in these words in Numbers 24:25 — “Then Balaam rose and went back to his place.” And all of us all along had been a bit puzzled about this Balaam character because, for instance, in Numbers 24…

Jesus Is Alive, and As a Result

The Lord's Day Morning Easter Sunday April 16, 2006 Ephesians 4:14-16 “Jesus Is Alive, and As a Result…” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter four, as we continue to make our way through this great book together. This morning I want to concentrate for a few moments on what the Apostle Paul says ought to be the result of Christ's resurrection power at work in us. You will remember that at the end of Ephesians…

Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter one, as we continue making our way through this great letter of the Apostle Paul to the church at Ephesus and to you and me, because we know that every word is given by inspiration, and every word is profitable to equip us for every good work as believers in the Lord Jesus…

Power in the Blood

Wednesday Evening May 25, 2005 Leviticus 17:1-16 “Power in the Blood” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter 17. This is a strange chapter. It's a chapter that talks a lot about animal blood, and how the Old Testament people of God were to think of and treat animal blood. You may wonder why the Lord would devote a chapter in an important book about the public worship of God and the private morality of the people of God to…
