The Benefits of Fearing God, Part 2

Luke 12:10-12 We are wrapping up what we started last Sunday, just a message on the benefits of fearing God and today, we’re looking at Luke 12:10 through 12, where Jesus speaks about our spirit-instructed witness to the truth. Again, this section is going to be on the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and it’s kind of an early preview because the Spirit, according to what we read in Acts Chapter 2, had not yet come to the church. There…

The Benefits of Fearing God, Part 1

Luke 12:4-9 Grab your bibles, open to Luke 12. The entry into Luke 12 has been pretty hard hitting, I think.

A Case Study in the Conscience

Luke 9:7-9  Well, then I’d invite you to open your Bibles to the Gospel of Luke and Luke Chapter 9. Luke Chapter 9. We’re going to be looking at verses 7 to 9 this morning. Luke 9:7 to 9. And what we find in these few verses here is yet another instance where in Luke’s Gospel here, where Luke slows us down a bit. And calls us here as the reader to pause for a bit of reflection, really. Before…

An Atmosphere of Truth, Pt. 1

Ephesians 5:18 I don’t expect you to remember the question I asked a couple of weeks ago at the end of the sermon. That was ages ago, right? But just as a reminder, we finished a short little study of the one another commands in the New Testament as part of our larger series on local church membership and involvement which unexpectedly has turned into a three-months series. We’re going to end that next week. We’ll bring it to an…
