I Cried. He Answered

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 120. Bill Wymond and Josh Rieger and I regularly look for serviceable, metrical psalm versions that would work with tunes that are familiar to it if we don't have one in the Trinity Hymnal. And I believe — Josh, am I right? — that Bill Wymond wrote that text that we just sang tonight. We couldn't find one that really worked with the tunes that you know and so Dr. Wymond provided that. It's an excellent rendering of Psalm 120. We’re in the psalms of ascent now, those psalms that were sung by the pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem, and we don't know who wrote this psalm. Some of the psalms of ascent we know who wrote. For instance, if you've already turned to Psalm 120 just look a little bit ahead…

Gospel Beginnings

The Lord's Day Morning December 7, 2008 Luke 1:1-7 “Gospel Beginnings” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to the Gospel of Luke, chapter one. We begin today a study through this great Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I was on the phone on Wednesday in a conference call in which John MacArthur was participating, and he was saying that on this Sunday morning in Orange County, California, at Grace Community Church, he is going to be completing his study of the Gospel of Luke with his congregation. Now, a word of encouragement to you: it's only taken John ten years to get through the Gospel of Luke! Now the encouragement to you is it will not take me that long, Lord willing! It will take a little time, but it won't take that…

Present Suffering/ Future Glory

Present Sufferings/Future Glory Romans 8:15-25 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to take them and turn with me to Romans, chapter 8. We've already said that in Romans 6 through 8, God is teaching us how it is that grace reigns in righteousness. In Romans, chapter 6, He teaches us the fountain, the source of all godliness, union with Christ. In Romans, chapter 7, He explains to us that even in believers, believers united to the Lord Jesus Christ, there continues to be a strenuous…

Jesus’ Prophecy of Consummation of the Kingdom,…

If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew chapter 24. We began last time looking at this great passage. It's one of the six long sermons of the Lord Jesus recorded by Matthew. It happens to deal with the issue of the end times or to use the technical term, eschatology, which just means the study of the end times, or the study of the last things. In this great passage we saw last week, especially in verses 4-14 of Matthew chapter 24, that Jesus gives a forecast of…

More of Jesus’ Kingdom Miracles and Teaching,…

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew chapter 14. This chapter records the final days of Jesus' great Galilean ministry, which ran from somewhere around December of AD 27, to April of AD 29. William Hendriksen says of this stage in Christ's career and ministry, “One more year, and the Lamb of God will by means of His death on the cross, render satisfaction for the sins of all who trust in Him.” And so the Lord Jesus' ministry is drawing close…

Flight, Murder, and Return From Egypt

Please turn with me in your Bibles to Matthew chapter 2. As we have opened this glorious gospel in the last few weeks, we have seen Matthew in the genealogy tell us of the origins of our Savior and the recounting of the story of His virgin birth. He has witnessed to the divinity of our Savior and His almighty and all sufficient saving power. And in the first part of this passage itself, we have seen much in terms of spiritual truth. We saw in the coming of the Gentiles those Magi who came to…
