A Little Thick? Aaron’s Sons Sin Again

Wednesday Evening March 2, 2005 Leviticus 10:12-20 “A Little Thick? Aaron's Sons Sin Again” ” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter ten. And I want to go right back to the verses that we read the last time we were together in Leviticus, which was a couple of weeks ago. In February we looked at the tragic story of Nadab and Abihu, which covers the first eleven verses, and it would be good for us to go back and read those verses again, though our focus is going to be especially on verses 12-20 in this chapter. In a sense, this story is all of a piece, but there's so much to be said in both halves of the chapter that we've broken it in part for your consideration. But let me just remind you of the…

A Strange Tale of Nadab and Abihu

The Ordination of Priests Leviticus 10:1-11 Don't Mess with the Worship of God 1. God is to be approached as He has commanded II. God's ministers are to be radically devoted to His holiness and glory III. God's ministers are to discern the difference between holy and profane, and teach God's instruction

A Spirit of Power, Love, and Discipline

The Lord's Day Morning February 13, 2005 II Timothy 1:1-7 “A Spirit of Power, Love, and Discipline” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Turn with me to II Timothy, chapter one. We have been working through the three pastoral letters of Paul — I Timothy, Titus, and now II Timothy — for some months now on Lord's Day mornings, on and off. We've taken them out of the order that they’re found in the Scripture. They move from I Timothy to II Timothy and Titus in your Bibles. We've taken them in chronological order, the order in which Paul wrote them, so we have moved from I Timothy to Titus, and now to II Timothy. This is Paul's last letter. He writes it imprisoned and awaiting his sentence of execution. He's calmly facing the last great crisis of his life, and as he does…

What an Apostle Is For

The Lord's Day Morning November 21, 2004 Titus 1:1-4 “What an Apostle Is For” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Titus 1. We’re continuing to work our way through the Pastoral Epistles, those three letters from an apostle, pastor, elder, veteran missionary evangelist, Paul, to two young ministers of the gospel who were responsible for ministering not only in the settled charges of two congregations, but were responsible for evangelism…

Accountable Leadership

The Lord's Day Morning October 3, 2004 I Timothy 5:17-25 “Accountable Leadership” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I invite you to turn with me to I Timothy, chapter five, as we continue to work through the Pastoral Epistles: these three letters from Paul, I Timothy, II Timothy, and Titus, written from an apostle, a master teacher/preacher, evangelist, missionary, church planter, to a young man who has been part of his mission team, who is now a settled pastor in a local…

The Ordinary Means of Grace

The Lord's Day Morning September 19, 2004 I Timothy 4:11-16 “The Ordinary Means of Grace” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to I Timothy, chapter four. We’re working through three letters written by Paul that have been called for a couple of hundred years now “the pastoral letters,” or the “pastoral epistles”: I Timothy, Titus, and II Timothy. Some of the last things that Paul ever said in his life to the church, they’re…

A Call to Prayer

The Lord's Day Morning July 25, 2004 I Timothy 2:1-7“A Call to Prayer” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to First Timothy, chapter two, as we continue to work through this great letter of Paul to a young pastor working in Ephesus, a church where Paul himself had ministered. In fact, he had laid the foundations for this congregation and he is giving to Timothy a whole host of priorities for a healthy church. He's telling us–in…

The Goal of Christian Ministry

The Lord's Day Morning June 20, 2004 I Timothy 1:3-5“The Goal of Christian Ministry” Turn with me to I Timothy, chapter one, and the third verse. I Timothy is a book about the church. If we ask the question “What is the Church supposed to be like?” this is one of the best books in the Bible to go to, to find the answer. Of course, its companion letters in the Pastoral Epistles, II Timothy and Titus, all address very specifically the questions of, “What the local church ought to…

Warning to Aspiring Teachers

James 3:1-2Warning to Aspiring Teachers If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to James chapter 3 as we continue through this book. In the very first chapter James spoke of trials and how the Christian would respond to them. How God uses those trials. In the end of James, chapter 1, he talked about how to tell the difference between someone who professes to be a Christian but who is not, and someone who professes to be a Christian and is, in fact, a disciple of the Lord…
