Elders and Quail

Wednesday Evening June 20, 2007 Numbers 11:16-30 “Elders and Quail” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers, chapter eleven. Tonight we’re going to be looking at verses 16-30. Now, to God’s word. If you have your Bibles, let me ask you to cast your eyes back earlier in the chapter (Numbers 11), because the last time we were together in Numbers, back at the first Wednesday night of June a couple of weeks ago, we were looking at Numbers 11:1-15. And it’s a passage that is a living illustration of what Paul was talking about in I Corinthians 10. In verses 1-3 of Numbers 11 we see the complaint of the people against God; in verses 4-6 we see the influence of this rabble that’s amongst the people of God…

Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ…

The Lord's Day Morning May 20, 2007 Philippians 1:7-11 “Love Abounding” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter one. We’re looking at verses 7-11 today, and these verses span two parts of this first chapter of this great letter. Really, if you look back to verse 3, from verse 3 to verse 8 the Apostle Paul is expressing his joy in, his thanksgiving to God for, his love for, the Philippians. Over and over in various ways, Paul with a thankful heart expresses gratitude to God for the Philippians, and he enumerates some of the reasons why he's so joyful about them, why he's rejoicing in, why he's thankful for the Philippians. And we're going to start reading today right in the middle of that series of expressions of…

I Thank God For You

The Lord's Day Morning May 6, 2007 Philippians 1:3-5 “I Thank God for You” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter one, verses three to five. We began our study of Philippians last week. We noted some of the great themes in this book. For instance, we said that already (beginning with verse 6) Paul is emphasizing the sovereignty of God in salvation. We said that in chapter two, you have that beautiful emphasis on the humility and exaltation of Jesus Christ. We also mentioned some of the memorable passages in the book of Philippians: “He who began a good work in you will complete it in the day of Christ Jesus…. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain…. Our citizenship is in heaven…. Rejoice in the…

God’s New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians(LIX)…

The Lord's Day Evening October 21, 2006 Ephesians 6:17-18 “God's New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians (LIX) The Full Armor of God (3): Word and Prayer” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me again to Ephesians 6, as we continue through this section on the armor of God. We've been looking at this great and important and beloved passage for a couple of weeks now. When we looked at the first two or three verses…

In the Lowest Pit

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 88. And as you do so, let me encourage you to brace yourself, because this is probably the saddest Psalm in the whole of the 150 Psalms. You know, in almost every Psalm, no matter how low the psalmist gets, by the end of it you get to some spark of hope, some word of grace. And it just never comes in this Psalm. And that's really important for us to realize. As Christians face troubles, deep troubles, intractable troubles,…

What to Pray For One Another (3)

The Lord's Day Morning January 29, 2006 Ephesians 3:18-19 “What to Pray For One Another (3)” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter three, as we continue to work our way through this great prayer in verses 14-19. We’re going to read all of 3:14-19, and we're going to be focusing on verses 18-19. I have given you an outline of the passage, and I have recounted some of the points that we have concentrated on in…

What to Pray For One Another (2)

The Lord's Day Morning January 22, 2006 Ephesians 3:16b-19 “What to Pray For One Another (2)” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 3. We've been looking at this prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19 for a number of weeks now. We spent the first message in this passage looking just at Paul's words of rationale as to why he was praying. You see those words, “For this reason I pray…for this reason I bow my knees to the…

What to Pray For One Another

The Lord's Day Morning January 15, 2006 Ephesians 3:16b-17 “What to Pray For One Another” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III When we were together last, we were looking at verses 14-16 — to be precise, verses 14 to 16a. We only got half way through verse 16, and we said there that we learned why Paul was praying the prayer; we learned a little bit about to whom Paul was praying the prayer, what Paul thought about this God to whom he was praying; we learned how Paul prayed the prayer, and we…
