It’s Not about Martha. It’s about You

The Lord's Day Morning May 9, 2010 Mother's Day Luke 10:38-42 “It's Not About Martha. It's About You.” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III As we continue to prepare for worship, let me invite you to take your hymnals in hand and turn to number 115. Our opening song of praise is “All Creatures of Our God and King,” a glorious text set to one of the most beautiful and majestic hymn tunes that we have. We’re working through the gospel of Luke in our preaching. We've come to the very end of Luke chapter 10 and this is the passage where Martha and Mary host Jesus in their home. It is the perfect passage for Mother's Day and I did not plan this so I’ll be delighted to be in God's Word with you at the end of Luke chapter 10. Because it is Mother's Day I thought you…

Defiled on Delivery

Wednesday Evening March 30, 2005 Leviticus 12:1-8 “Defiled on Delivery” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus 12. We have been in the Book of Leviticus for a number of months now, first on Sunday nights and now on Wednesday nights. Let me just remind you a little bit of where we've been in the book. As we have looked at Leviticus 1-7, in those chapters we have seen a description of the five great personal sacrifices that were to be brought by the people of God to the priests for worship on a variety of occasions in the life of believers in the Old Testament. Sometimes that occasion was a recognition that they had been far from God, and that God in His mercy had drawn them back into fellowship with Him, and so a…

Women in the Church

The Lord's Day Morning August 1, 2004 I Timothy 2:8-15 ”Women in the Church” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to First Timothy, chapter two. We have said all along as we've been studying the first of the Pastoral Epistles, these letters from a veteran pastor to a younger pastor about pastoral matters, matters that pertain to the local church–we've said as we have studied this pastoral letter that we find here a pattern for ministry, a divinely appointed set of directives for how we are to live and minister as God's people and among God's people in the local congregation. And last week as we were looking at I Timothy 2:1-7, we saw important matters pertaining to the church's prayer addressed by Paul. Paul was…

Phoebe and the Ministry of Women in the Early Church

Romans 16:1-2 Phoebe: The Ministry of Women in the Early Church Romans 16 is a chapter filled with greetings and personal commendation, and you might be tempted to think that it is somewhat extraneous in terms of giving you any profitable direction for day-to-day Christian life; and if you think that, you’re wrong because there is much to learn not only from the commendation that we are going to study today but the greetings and the words of appreciation and expressions of gratitude which this…
