175 and Counting: In Defense of the Resurrection

The Lord's Day Morning April 8, 2012 “175 and Counting: In Defense of the Resurrection” 1 Corinthians 15:1-26 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to 1 Corinthians chapter 15. We’re going to read verses 1 to 26 today. I was thinking as we sang the first hymn this morning that, that hymn was a sermon in itself. The first two songs sung to us are sermons in themselves. This Scripture reading is a sermon in itself so the Lord is blessing us with His Word richly today. Today, as we read this passage, I want you to be on the lookout for two things because this is what we're going to do in the message this morning. I want you to see how Paul defends the resurrection in this passage. You will see it especially in verses 1…

Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to the gospel of Luke, the twenty-fourth chapter.

I want you to be on the lookout for a number of things in the reading as we look at Luke 24:1-12. First of all, notice how Luke draws your attention to the reaction of the women and the…

What Jesus Believed About the Resurrection

The Lord's Day Morning July 3, 2011 “What Jesus Believed About the Resurrection” Luke 20:27-44 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 20. We’ll be looking at verses 27 to 44 today as we continue our way through the gospel of Luke. Let me remind you that the passage that we're going to read today is the third time in Luke 20 where Jesus’ authority and teaching is challenged by the scribes and the Sadducees and the religious leaders in Jerusalem. You remember the first time happens in the early verses of Luke 20 when Jesus cleanses the temple and He is challenged, “By what authority do You do this?” And in the course of His response, He not only responds to the challenge to His authority, but He…

Keep your fingers in both places. You've figured out now why we've…
