The Full Message of God’s Salvation
Acts 13:23-41 When all our praise is directed to our God, the Living God who saves us, who called us to a holy calling and who is alone worthy of all of our glory and honor and praise. Among all of his manifold mercies, our God sent Jesus Christ to live and to die, and to rise again in order to save us from our sins. Somebody asked me what I planned to preach for resurrection Sunday. We’ve been working…
Strong Encouragement for New Believers
Luke 7:18-35 In the good providence of God, we have a unique opportunity today. This Sunday, today is not just a Baptism Sunday, it’s not just a Righthand of Fellowship Sunday, as we bring new members into our fellowship. But it’s also, as you can see before you, it’s a Communion Sunday. And God has granted us just a little time, maybe some unhurried moments that we can use to prepare ourselves to partake of the Lord’s Table together this…
A Lesson in Discernment from Children at Play
Luke 7:31-35 As we get started this morning, I want to ask you to turn your Bibles to Luke Chapter 7. Luke Chapter 7.

If I could, kind of summarize, so we can get our arms around the significance of what we have learned so far in this section…
Winnowing the Heart
Luke 7:29-30 We are in Luke’s Gospel, and we are in an ex, expositional study, as you know. Started some time ago in Luke 1:1, and we have been moving through verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter through Luke’s Gospel. It’s been a rewarding study for our church to sort of rediscover together for ourselves the real story of Christianity. Every now and again it’s good for us to return to the source documents and learn from the Lord Jesus Christ himself, how he…
The Winnowing Begins
Luke 7:24-30 We’re in Luke’s gospel this morning. So you want to take your Bibles and turn there. We’re studying a section of Scripture in which Jesus is helping us understand the ministry of John the Baptist. So go ahead and turn to Luke 7. We’re going to start reading from verse 18. Luke 7:18. We’ll begin by reading the text. I’ll just remind you in our study last week, John the Baptist asked Jesus a question. He asked him,…
The Assurance of Things Hoped For
Luke 7:18-23 I want to invite you to turn to Luke chapter 7 if you’re not there already. We’re returning to Luke’s Gospel and looking at a short interaction that takes place between John the Baptist and Jesus the Messiah. It’s going to be there in Luke 7:18 to 23, and in this section of Luke 7 the ministry of John the Baptist is in focus, but what is really on display once again is the person and work of…
