Like His Brethren in All Things

The Lord's Day Morning February 10, 2013 Better “Like His Brethren in All Things” Hebrews 2:14-18 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 2. We’re going to be looking at verses 14 to 18 together today. There is a haunting phrase in Andrew Peterson's wrenchingly beautiful song, “You’ll Find Your Way.” Fathers, if you haven't heard that song, I'd commend you to listen to it and even pray through it thinking about your sons. It's a – the lyric is a father thinking about his son and even speaking to his son before his son knows what he's going to be facing in life. And he tells his son, “You’re going to grow up, son, and you’re going to get lost. And when you get lost,…

Korah’s Rebellion

Wednesday Evening August 22, 2007 Numbers 16:1-50 “Korah’s Rebellion” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Here we see the some of the Levites coming to Moses and basically saying, ‘We want to be priests. We’re Levites, but we want to be priests.’ And they challenge Moses’ and Aaron’s leadership, and they defame them. You be on the lookout for how they do this, both those things — they challenge the leadership and they defame Moses and Aaron. Let’s hear God’s word. “Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men, and they rose up before Moses with a number of the people of Israel, two hundred fifty chiefs of the congregation, chosen from the assembly,…

Murmuring in the House

Wednesday Evening July 18, 2007 Numbers 12:1-16 “Murmuring In the House” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, let me ask you to turn with me to Numbers 12. You will remember, back in Numbers 11 — and you might want to let your eyes fall on the first fifteen verses and the last four or five verses of Numbers 11, because in Numbers 11, we had two incidents which perfectly illustrate the concerns that the Apostle Paul spoke to the Corinthians about in I Corinthians 10:1-13, when he spoke about the grumbling and the complaining and the rebelling and the murmuring of the people of God in the Old Testament. Two incidents that are “poster children” for that kind of concern that the Apostle Paul raised with the Corinthians are recorded for us in Numbers 11. In a sense, the…

Why is this in the Bible? Skin Disease and Mildew (!)

Wednesday Evening April 13, 2005 Leviticus 13:1-59 “Why is this in the Bible? — Skin Diseases and Mildew (!)” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus 13. This is a long chapter. Leviticus has some short chapters, and then it has some long chapters. Leviticus 12 was just eight verses, but Leviticus 13 is 59 verses and it's very specific material, most of which deals with skin diseases and how the priests are to distinguish between things which are not…

Burnt Bread: The Grain Offering

The Lord's Day Evening November 21, 2004 Leviticus 6:19-23 “Burnt Bread: The Grain Offering” (2) Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter six, again; this time beginning in verse 19. You’ll want to allow your eyes to look back four verses over the passage that we considered last week when we first began to look again at the grain offering. And perhaps you’ll want to remember something of what we said when we looked at…

Priestly Pay: The Priest’s Portion of the Grain…

The Lord's Day Evening November 14, 2004 Leviticus 6:14-18 “Priestly Pay: the Priest's Portion of the Grain Offering” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter six. Tonight we will be looking again at what has been called the grain offering or the meal offering. We spent some time looking at this offering from the perspective of the basics required in this sacrifice to the Lord, especially from the perspective of the…

Blessing God

I'd invite you to turn with me to Jude, right at the end of the New Testament, right before the book of Revelation, as we look one last time at this short letter. We've been in the book of Jude for the last four weeks, and now we're in the final two verses. And in those two verses, we come face-to-face with a doxology. Now we sing a doxology that goes something like this, “Praise God from whom all blessings flow.” That, you can see immediately, is a doxology. That is, it is a…

The Tent of Meeting Set Up

First Presbyterian Church Wednesday Evening Worship May 14, 2003 Exodus 40:1-33 “The Tent of Meeting Set Up” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus 40. We have come to the second to the last study in this great book that we've been looking at for a long time now–93 sermons ago we started the Book of Exodus, so persevere! You’re almost there! Now, let's look at Exodus 40 together. In Exodus 40:1-33, we are given a view of the…

Glorifying God

Glorifying GodExodus 34:10-28 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus 34 as we continue to work our way through this great book. We come to the end of a passage which forms the center of the book and focuses on the golden calf incident. Let's hear God's word. Then God said, “Behold, I am going to make a covenant. Before all your people I will perform miracles which have not been produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people…
