Hymns of the Faith “All People That On Earth Do Dwell” Psalm 100 A Presentation of First Presbyterian Church Jackson, Mississippi With Dr. Ligon Duncan, Dr. Derek Thomas, and Dr. Bill Wymond Dr. Wymond: Good morning!

Stay tuned for “Hymns of the Faith.” Dr. Duncan: Thank you, Bill Wymond! This is Ligon Duncan, with Derek Thomas, and this is “Hymns of the Faith.” I'm delighted to be with you and with Derek Thomas this morning, again talking about hymns. Good morning, Derek.

The New Walk (5): More Reasons Why – Filled With…

The Lord's Day Morning July 23, 2006 Ephesians 5:18-21 “The New Walk (5): More Reasons Why — Filled With the Spirit” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Please open your Bibles to Ephesians chapter five, as we continue through Paul's letter to Ephesus and to us. We've said since Ephesians 4:17 that it has been Paul's concern to exhort us to live distinctively as Christians in this world; not to be like the world, but rather to be in the world and not of it; to be distinct in our desires and our behavior and our living from the world. And in Ephesians 4 and in the first part of Ephesians 5, Paul gave a series of concrete examples of ways in which we were to be different from the world. We were to be different from the world in our truth-telling; we were to be different from the…

To God Be the Glory

The Lord's Day Morning February 5, 2006 Ephesians 3:20-21 “To God Be the Glory” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 3 as we continue to work our way through this great prayer. I'd remind you of a couple of things. One is that this book begins with a doxology. We studied it in Ephesians 3:1-14, so the whole book begins with an ascription of praise to God, and this prayer that we've been studying for a number of weeks began back in verse 14…began with a doxology. Remember? Take a peek at verses 14, 15, and the first part of 16. It's a praise to the God who is the Father of every family of believers in heaven and on earth, and who has glorious riches to pour out on them in answer to prayer. So, just…

Praying to Our Father

The Lord's Day Morning January 8, 2006 Communion Sunday Ephesians 3:14-16a “Praying to Our Father” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 3 as we continue to make our way through this great letter of the Apostle Paul. We’re going to be looking at verses 14-16 today, but I'd ask you to look at verse 1 first, because we've said all along that the Apostle Paul began this chapter getting ready to pray for the…

Joy in God’s Great Reversals

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 75 as we continue our way through the Book of the Psalms. Last Lord's Day evening we were together in Psalm 74, and it was a Psalm that in part lifted up a plaintive cry to God to vindicate His oppressed people. It featured the Psalmist looking around him and seeing those who were arrogant, prideful, rejecters of God, prospering and even ruling cruelly over the people of God, and that Psalm ends with a cry to God in verse…

Praying With Paul

The Lord's Day Morning August 21, 2005 Ephesians 1:3-14 “Praying with Paul” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter one. For several weeks now we have been working through this prayer of praise in verses 3-14. We have parked on this prayer in part because we have said it is a life re-orienting prayer: that if we could understand what God is teaching us about Himself in this prayer of praise to Him, it would change our…

When I’m 64

I'd invite you to turn with me to the Psalms, to the seventy-first Psalm, which is the penultimate psalm in the Second Book of the Psalms. This is a Psalm for old age. Now, don't take offense! I'm not setting an exact date on when old age is. It's looking older and older to me, as I grow older myself. This is a psalm of old age. This psalmist is looking back on a life in which he can testify to the fact that the Lord has been there for him since his birth. He cannot remember a…

Up to my Neck: The Christian Experience of Pleading for…

Psalm 69 is a great Psalm. What hymn comes to mind that you would sing when you are experiencing reproach and shame and discouragement? I can think of a few but not many that speak as frankly as this Psalm speaks. When you’re searching for the words to say, when you feel like you’re drowning and you can't feel the bottom and you can't come up for air, where do you go? Well, one place would be right here in Psalm 69. Before we read and hear God's word, let's pray and ask for…

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow: The Christian…

If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 65 which is a Psalm about the bounteous God. We’re continuing in our study of the Second Book of the Psalms–that is, that section of the book of the Psalms that runs from Psalm 42 to Psalm 72–and we have come to Psalm 65. Before we read it and hear God's word expounded, let's look to God in prayer and ask for His blessing. Let's pray. Our Lord and our God, You give us Your word, first and foremost, to reveal to…
