Jesus and Melchizedek

The Lord's Day Morning May 12, 2013 Better“Jesus and Melchizedek”Hebrews 7:1-10 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Hebrews chapter 7.В We’re going to be looking at verses 1 to 10 this morning as we continue to make our way through this great letter.В As you’re turning there, make sure and allow your eyes to fall on the last two verses of chapter 6 as well, because there you will see the reasons why the author of Hebrews is going to go into an extended discussion of Melchizedek in this passage.В We've said so far, as we've worked through Hebrews together, that the theme of this book is “Better” – Jesus is better.В Hebrews 1:1 to Hebrews 4:13 emphasize that Jesus is a better Savior; He's…

The Offerings of the Seventh Month

Wednesday Evening February 13, 2008 Numbers 29:1-40 Numbers — With God in the Wilderness: “The Offerings of the Seventh Month” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 29. We’re making our way closer and closer to the end of this great book, part of the Law of Moses, the first five books of the Bible. The Pentateuch is the technical name for those books; or, as the Hebrews called them, the Torah, the law of God, the instruction of the living God. Last week we started into a section of this book which contained detailed listings of the requirements of the priests in the various laws of sacrifices, and that really continues in the passage we’re going to study tonight. Many things come to mind to explain what is going on…

The Laws of Offerings

Wednesday Evening February 6, 2008 Numbers 28:1-31 Numbers — With God in the Wilderness: “The Laws of Offerings” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 28, as we continue our way through this great book. A couple of weeks ago, we were looking at the long list of names of the heads of families of the tribes of Israel recorded in the census in Numbers 26, and we noted that among other things the names and numbers were listed there for the purpose of land inheritance. Even though the children of Israel weren’t yet in the Promised Land, but were in fact camped outside of the Promised Land in Midian getting ready to go into the final battles that would lead them into the possession of the Promised Land, already God was…

With God in the Wilderness (26) The Red Heifer

The Lord’s Day Evening Numbers 19:1-22 “The Red Heifer” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Please be seated. If you have your Bibles before you, turn to Numbers 19. Let me invite you to turn to the New Testament to I Corinthians 10, and let me just remind you of a couple of things. First of all, the song that we have just sung is really the perfect song for studying Numbers 19, because it’s a chapter that is really, when you look at it closely, all about the blood of Jesus. Ruling Elder…

Passover

Wednesday Evening May 2, 2007 Numbers 9:1-14 “Passover” Dr. Ligon Duncan III I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers, chapter nine. If you don’t have your Bibles with you, I believe that the text of tonight’s message is in the bulletin, and you can follow along there. A couple of weeks ago we were in the longest chapter in the Bible (that is, if you don’t count Psalm 119), Numbers 7, running to 89 verses; and we read all of those verses as we worked our way through…

Power in the Blood

Wednesday Evening May 25, 2005 Leviticus 17:1-16 “Power in the Blood” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter 17. This is a strange chapter. It's a chapter that talks a lot about animal blood, and how the Old Testament people of God were to think of and treat animal blood. You may wonder why the Lord would devote a chapter in an important book about the public worship of God and the private morality of the people of God to…

Set Apart for Service: Moses Ordains the Priests

Wednesday Evening January 19, 2005 Leviticus 8:1-36 “Set Apart for Service: Moses Ordains the Priests” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter eight. We’re going to read the whole of this chapter tonight, but because this chapter is not only lengthy but filled with very specific regulations for the consecration, for the anointment, for the ordination of the priests of Israel, what I think I’ll do is break the chapter up…

Blood on the Altar

The Lord's Day Evening January 2, 2005 Leviticus 7:1-10 “Blood on the Altar” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you’ll open your Bibles to Leviticus chapter one. If you’ll look at chapter one, for instance, we studied there the burnt offering, the offering that is called the holocaust, that is entirely consumed in the fire. And when we studied Leviticus 1, we saw that that offering taught us about the importance about right worship to God. God is clearly concerned how we worship Him, because…

Burnt Bread: The Grain Offering

The Lord's Day Evening November 21, 2004 Leviticus 6:19-23 “Burnt Bread: The Grain Offering” (2) Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter six, again; this time beginning in verse 19. You’ll want to allow your eyes to look back four verses over the passage that we considered last week when we first began to look again at the grain offering. And perhaps you’ll want to remember something of what we said when we looked at…
