Wednesday Evening January 30, 2008 Numbers 27:12-23 Numbers — With God in the Wilderness: “Succession Plan” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 27. Last Wednesday night we were in Numbers 26, looking at a long list of the heads of families of the tribes of Israel; and these names were being listed not only for the purposes of selective service, but especially for the purpose of inheritance. And therein lies an irony with the passage we’re reading tonight. In Numbers 26, all the heads of families of the tribes of Israel are being numbered so that the land, which God had promised to Abraham and to his descendents, which the children of Israel were about to enter into, could be apportioned out appropriately to those…

The Laws of the Land

Wednesday Evening August 15, 2007 Numbers 15:1-41 “The Laws of the Land” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 15, as we continue to work our way through this great book of Moses and the story of Israel in the wilderness. We’ve noted for the last several weeks that Numbers 11-14 pictures Israel grumbling and complaining and murmuring and rebelling. And in fact, the last time we were together, in Numbers 14, we saw a cycle of rebellion and intercession and pardon, followed by further rebellion. In the book of Judges you have the pattern of sin and then the consequences of sin, and then repentance, and then restoration, and then the cycle goes over again. But they don’t even get that far in Numbers 14. It goes from sin…

The Lord's Day Morning August 12, 2007 Philippians 1:27-28 “Living In a Manner Worthy of the Gospel (3)” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter one, as we continue to work through this great book together. Philippians 1:27 and 28 contain the first major exhortation in the main section of this letter. The main section of this letter runs from this verse (Philippians 1:27) all the way to about Philippians 2:18. In that main section of the letter, the Apostle Paul is exhorting the Philippians, and he's exhorting you and me, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, to live lives that are worthy of the gospel. The whole section is an exhortation to distinctive Christian conduct. He wants us to live…

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter one, as we continue to work our way through this great letter of the Apostle Paul. The last time we were together in this book, a couple of weeks ago, we were looking at verses 27-28. That's where we're going to be today. In fact, the last time we were together, we…

Leaving Sinai

Wednesday Evening May 30, 2007 Numbers 10:11-36 “Leaving Sinai” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan If you have Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 10. If you don’t, there should be a copy somewhere around your table of the text of Numbers 10:11-36. We’re continuing to study through the book of Numbers together, and tonight we’re in Numbers 10, verses 11-36. Let me just remind you: the children of Israel have been at Mount Sinai since Exodus 19. Since Exodus 19, the…

Passover

Wednesday Evening May 2, 2007 Numbers 9:1-14 “Passover” Dr. Ligon Duncan III I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers, chapter nine. If you don’t have your Bibles with you, I believe that the text of tonight’s message is in the bulletin, and you can follow along there. A couple of weeks ago we were in the longest chapter in the Bible (that is, if you don’t count Psalm 119), Numbers 7, running to 89 verses; and we read all of those verses as we worked our way through…

Lamps, Levites, and Retirement

Wednesday Evening April 25, 2007 Numbers 8:1-26 Lamps, Levites, and Retirement Dr. Ligon Duncan III I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 8. We have been working through Numbers for a number of weeks now. The last time we were together in Numbers, we were in the longest chapter in the Bible, Numbers 7; that runs to 89 verses. And we said that it describes a unique event in Israel’s history, a twelve-day event when gifts were brought to the tent of meeting–all of the gifts the…

First Presbyterian Church Wednesday Evening February 7, 2007 Numbers 4:1-49 “Priests and Duties (2)” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Please turn with me in your Bibles to Numbers 4, as we continue to work our way through this great book of the Old Testament.. We’ve been in Numbers for about four weeks. We spent the first week giving an introduction to the book and arguing why this book is so applicable, and frankly so exciting to study, for us today. The Apostle Paul in First Corinthians tells…
