Jesus: Ruler of the Ruler of Demons

The Lord's Day Morning June 27, 2010 Luke 11:14-28 “Jesus: Ruler of the Ruler of Demons” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Sing to the Lord a new song all the earth. Tell of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations and His marvelous works among all the peoples for great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods for all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but our God, the Lord, made the heavens and the earth. Splendor and majesty are before Him, strength and beauty in His sanctuary, so let us give unto the Lord the glory due His name. Let us worship God! Our Lord and our God, You are holy, holy, holy and we are not and because of this only You can provide a way for us into Your presence to enjoy Your blessings, Your benefits,…

Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ…

The Lord's Day Morning May 13, 2007 Philippians 1:6 “He Finishes What He Starts” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter one. When we started our study of this book together, we noted that this was a book filled with thanksgiving and with joy, and we said that this started with thanksgiving and with joy. In fact, if you allow your eyes to look at verses 3-5, the passage we're going to read today in verse 6 is a continuation of this one sentence, this one thought, this one prayer of joyful thanksgiving that the Apostle Paul has opened the book with, and I want you to see the components of it. Last time we were together we said that the Apostle Paul shows in this passage his gratitude, his joy, and his focus on…

Walk Like A Gentile?

The Lord's Day Morning April 23, 2006 Ephesians 4:17-24 “Walk Like a Gentile?” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter four, as we continue our way through this great letter. Jesus emphasized to His disciples that they were to be in this world, but not of it. He said to them on one occasion that they were to be salt and light in this world, and that their light was not to be hidden nor was their salt to lose its saltiness, because their very distinctness from the world was precisely the way He planned for them to be a blessing to the world. That call for believers to be distinctive is a call which is heard throughout the New Testament, and it's heard in this passage today. It's a call for Christians to…

The Surprising Servant

The Lord's Day Morning July 4, 2004 I Timothy 1:12-14“The Surprising Servant” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to I Timothy, chapter one. We've been working our way through this book the last three weeks or so, and we come to I Timothy, chapter one, verse twelve today. I'd simply say, by way of preparation, that Paul has focused on the same themes throughout this letter so far. From the time he finished his salutation, in verses…

The Essence of Christian Living

James 1:19-27The Essence of Christian Living If you have your Bibles I would invite you to turn with me to James chapter one as we continue through this great book together. In the very words of greetings the first week we were studying this book, we said that James was preparing us for the trials of the Christian life, even as he called us the twelve tribes scattered abroad in that language which harkens from the Old Testament. And the story of the Exodus and of the exile does indeed remind us…

Living in Christ

Living in Christ Romans 6:8-14 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 6. As you do so, I want to remind you of a fact that may catch you off guard. For six and a half chapters, the apostle Paul has been writing to us about various things. If you notice, that not one time has he told you do anything. Isn’t it interesting that for six and half chapters, the apostle Paul hasn’t told us to do a single thing. Now, you may have been wanting that a little bit.…

Christ Yields Up His Spirit

If you have Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 27. The last time we were together in the gospel of Matthew we were looking specifically at verses 44 through 49 where Matthew recounts for us Jesus’ cry of abandonment, His cry of dereliction, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew points us to two cries from the cross. That first cry in reference to David’s words in Psalm 22, and then this second cry. Matthew doesn’t even tell us what Jesus said. He…

Condemnation of the Enemies of the Kingdom, Part 4: The…

If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 12. Throughout this chapter, we see the character of the Lord Jesus Christ contrasted clearly with the character of his opponents. Though His opponents, the Pharisees, were reputed to be among the most religious, among the most pious men in Israel in their day, in fact, we see throughout this chapter that it is their hearts that are black even though they are accusing the Lord Jesus of being evil. And so,…

The Incomparable Christ – Exposition of…

Colossians 3:5-17The Incomparable Christ Please turn with me in your Bibles to Colossians, chapter 3. We’ll begin in verse 5. You’ll remember that Paul has been stressing throughout this book that believers are complete in Christ. In chapter 1 he focuses on the supremacy and the sufficiency of Christ Himself. And he says if the believer will understand who Christ is and what He has done, much of the Christian life will fall into place. In chapter 2, we saw him give warnings against five…
