Did Not Our Hearts Burn within Us?

The Lord's Day Morning January 15, 2012 “Did Not Our Hearts Burn within Us?” Luke 24:13-35 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to the gospel of Luke, the twenty-fourth chapter. We have been in the gospel of Luke together since 2009, which is a good argument for coming to Sunday evening worship so you can hear something other than Luke, but you've almost made it to the end! And we are in one of the great passages in all of the Scripture. I never read this passage without being moved by some part of it. We read part of it last week. We really cut off in the middle of the story, and when we were looking at it last week we emphasized Jesus saying to these two disconsolate disciples who were walking to the little village…

Are You the King of the Jews?

The Lord's Day Morning October 9, 2011 “Are You the King of the Jews?” Luke 23:1-5 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 23. We’ll be looking at verses 1 to 5 this morning as we continue through the gospel of Luke. I'd invite you also, as you’re turning there to Luke 23:1-5, to allow your eyes to look back to verses 66 to 71 of Luke 22. Those verses contain the account that Luke gives of Jesus before the Sanhedrin, or the council of the elders, those who were the key religious leaders of the people of Israel, and they are the ones that are referred to, if you look at verse 1 of Luke 23, “Then the whole company of them,” they are the ones who arrive and take Jesus to Pilate. If I could set this…

Are You Sure About Jesus?

The Lord's Day Morning Luke 7:18-35 “Are You Sure About Jesus?” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 7. We’re going to be looking at verses 18 to the end of the chapter, verse 35, as we continue to make our way through the gospel of Luke together. Let me show you four parts to this passage before we read it. The first part you’ll see is in verses 18 to 20. John, in this passage, sends two disciples to ask Jesus a very important question. It's important for you to know that John is in prison. To say that he was discouraged is an understatement. He had said of Jesus many months before, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who comes to take away the sins of the world.” He had announced Jesus as the Messiah — He is the…

In My Father’s House

The Lord's Day Morning March 8, 2009 Luke 2:40-52 “In My Father's House” The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Turn with me to Luke 2:40, as we continue through this great Gospel together. We’re at a very special passage when we come to Luke 2:40-52. It is the only story that we have of Jesus between the time of His infancy and the beginning of His ministry as an adult of around thirty years old. So from the time He's a very young child, just weaned, to the time that He is an…

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…

The Covenant of Grace with Abraham, Fulfilled

The Lord's Day Morning January 18, 2009 Luke 1:67-80 “The Covenant of Grace with Abraham, Fulfilled” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Dr. Derek Thomas: Let every creature in heaven and earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them say, “To Him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might, forever and ever.” Let us worship God. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, our God, Lord Jesus Christ: we worship…

His Name Is John

The Lord's Day Morning January 11, 2009 Luke 1:57-66 “His Name Is John” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke, chapter one, as we continue to make our way through the Gospel of Luke together. The last time we were with Zechariah, he had literally been struck dumb. He was mute because he struggled to get his head and heart around the promise of the angel to him that he was going to be a father at an advanced age, and that his…

Formerly Far Off, Now Brought Near

The Lord's Day Morning October 23, 2005 Ephesians 2:11-13 “Formerly Far Off, Now Brought Near” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter two, as we continue our way through the Book of Ephesians together. Last time we were together on Sunday morning, we were in Ephesians 2:8-10, that glorious passage in which the beautiful truth of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone is set forth. We saw there the…

A Prayer for the King: The Christian Experience of the…

Turn with me in your Bibles to Psalm 72. Let me just remind you that at the time of the response at the end of the service, after the benediction, that we’ll sing the last stanza of that arrangement of Psalm 72. You will have noticed that everything we've sung tonight, except for the word before the Children's Devotional, is related to Psalm 72. We sang at the beginning of the service, Hail to the Lord's Anointed, which is four stanzas of–I don't know, about twelve or…
