Psalm 119 Not By Bread Alone – According to Your…

The Lord's Day Evening February 10, 2013 Not by Bread Alone “According to Your Promise” Psalm 119:41-48 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 119. We’re going to be looking at the section which runs from verses 41 to 48 as we continue our way through this great psalm on the theme, “Not by Bread Alone.” And yet again we meet a passage here that teaches us how to live. How do you live the Christian life? Exactly how do you do it? The psalmist tells us here. Let's pray before we read God's Word. Our heavenly Father, as believers it is a prime concern how we may live this life. We want to know. We want to know from Your Word. We want to know not out of curiosity but out of desperation. We want to know not…

Enduring Trials in Light of Jesus’ Return: The…

The Lord's Day Morning September 30, 2012 “Enduring Trials in Light of Jesus’ Return: The Man of Lawlessness” 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. We’re going to be looking at verses 1 to 12. And as we said before the service, this is one of those passages that commentators on the apostle Paul mark as one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult, in all of the apostles to interpret. This is especially because of what Paul says in verse 3. He speaks of a “man of lawlessness” or a “man of sin,” and no small amount of ink has been spilt over the last two thousand years by commentators attempting to explain and identify who Paul is speaking of. And then…

How Can I Thank You Enough, Lord?

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 138. As you’re turning there, allow yourself to look at the headings of the next several psalms. In fact, if you’d look at the headings of the psalms from 138 all the way to 145. Tonight we are beginning a group of eight psalms, all of which are attributed to David. These are the last psalms in the Psalter that belong to David. He wrote almost half of the songs and these eight songs are the final ones included in the Psalter of Scripture from the heart, from the pen, from the hand, from the life of David. This psalm is in three parts. As you look at it before we read it tonight, note first of all in verses 1, 2, and 3, David is once again in trouble. Don't you have to pause and say, “Lord, thank You that You…

Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to 1 Thessalonians chapter 4. We’re going to be looking at the first two verses of this chapter. As we've worked through this letter together we've said repeatedly that Paul is teaching the Thessalonians and you and me how to live life in light of Jesus’…
