God Has Visited His People

The Lord's Day Morning October 18, 2009 Luke 7:1-17 “God Has Visited His People” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 7 as we continue our way through the great gospel of Luke. In this passage, Luke is telling us two stories that are designed to help us and his original readers appreciate more fully who Jesus is. Throughout Luke's gospel and the other gospels, the gospel writers are driving home the point that Jesus is the promised Messiah that Israel has been looking for and more fully developing their appreciation and our appreciation for who Jesus is, and Luke is doing that in this passage. Perhaps to help you understand more fully the impact of this passage on its original audience, it would be good for you…

Healing and Forgiving

The Lord's Day Morning May 17, 2009 Baptism Sunday Luke 5:12-26 “Healing and Forgiving” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Dr. Duncan: As we prepare to worship, let me invite you to take your hymnals in hand and turn to No. 34. Our opening hymn is going to be The God of Abraham Praise, and it's a perfect hymn for Baptism Sunday because it reminds us of the covenant of grace made with Abraham, which the Apostle Paul says is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. And so it's perfect for a service in which we will worship by both the preaching of the word and by the view of baptism as a sacrament, or means of grace. Please note also in the course of the service that after the baptism you will join the choir in singing the two stanzas of Hymn 213 that are printed in your bulletin. Now if you’re a…

How Jesus Makes Disciples

The Lord's Day Morning May 10, 2009 Luke 5:1-11 “How Jesus Makes Disciples” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 5. As we continue to work our way through this Gospel, let me remind you that the last time we were with the Lord Jesus in this Gospel, at the end of Luke 4, Jesus was preaching in Galilee and in Judea and was proclaiming the kingdom of God. We talked about what that meant for His proclamation to be about the kingdom of God, and we talked about how that was a theme in the Gospel of Luke. Today, we encounter Jesus in a great miracle. He is teaching the multitudes on the shore of what the other Gospels call most frequently the Sea of Galilee (which John sometimes will refer to as Tiberias, which Luke…

A Preacher with Power

The Lord's Day Evening May 3, 2009 Luke 4:31-44 “A Preacher with Power” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III I'd like to invite you to turn with me to Luke 4 as we continue our study of the Gospel of Luke. The whole service conspires together to help us understand the passage. We always try and take care to relate some of what we sing to the substance of what we're reading and preaching, but tonight the C125atechism question that you've already heard asked and answered and meditated upon…
