Shedding Bad Behavior
Colossians 3:8-11 I want to ask you to turn your Bibles to Colossians Chapter 3. We are looking at another vice list this morning, and we’re taking another important step in sanctification. Colossians Chapter 3, the section we’re in is Colossians 3:5 through 11, and last week we saw in Colossians 3:5 what sins we need to put to death, what sins we need to mortify and then verses 6 and 7 gave several reasons why we’re eager to target…
Sin in the Crosshairs
Colossians 3:5-7 We are in Colossians chapter 3. Colossians chapter 3, and it’s a most practical portion on the subject of sanctification. We’re looking at Colossians 3:5 through 11. I’m going to read the text for us as we get started this morning. The whole section goes from Colossians 3:5 to 4:6, but we’re going to focus our attention on this first section, verses 5 through 11, which is about dealing with remaining and indwelling sin in the life of…
The Way of the True Christian
Colossians 3:1-4 Well, please turn your Bibles to Colossians Chapter 3. Paul is turning a corner, here, and preparing us for some practical application. So we’re going to get into some very practical things in the weeks to come in Colossians 3 and following. But he’s turning a corner. This is a hinge point in the letter. And in Colossians 2, the section we just finished, Paul, as you know, was confronting the false teachers that were troubling the Colossian…
Sore Abuse and Scorn
Luke 22:63-65 Before we come to Lord’s table, I would like us to perhaps maybe deepen our appreciation for the gift of Christ and for the gift of this communion with him by turning to Luke 22 once again, look at a parallel text to what we have read in Matthew 26. We have as a church been studying the passion of Christ in our study of Luke’s Gospel. And in our study of the passion, we find our place…
The Fall of Peter
Luke 22:54-62 So you can turn your Bibles to Luke 22 as we come to one of the saddest scenes in the Gospel accounts, one of the most pitiable, poignant scenes in the Passion narrative, which is the fall of Peter. And I refer to this scene as sad, pitiable because we can all sympathize with Peter, can’t we? We know that if we were put into the same situation, we’d likely fall in the same way as he. And…
Lessons from the Garden
Luke 22:46 Well, we want to come back one more time to Luke 22:39-46, this passage we’ve been in for the last couple of weeks. We want to come back to it one more time so that we can learn the lessons that I think the Lord would have us learn, the lessons Luke as an author wants us to learn, the lessons that the Holy Spirit wants us to learn as well as we observe our Lord Jesus Christ.…
The Great Danger of Friendship with the World
James 4:4-6 If you would turn to James chapter 4; it’s been a little over a month since I was up here last, and in that sermon, we began to look at chapter 4 of this letter together, and those first three verses in chapter 4. And I really do believe that those make for a good one-off sermon because of how intensely practical they are in helping us to think about and to deal with conflict righteously. And I…
My Brother’s Keeper, Part 3
Luke 17:5-10 Open your Bibles to Luke 17 and today we are following up on a two-part series that we’ve called, My Brother’s Keeper, which is the first. It’s in the first ten verses Luke 17:1-10. After Jesus addressed the Pharisees at the end of the 16th chapter, we’ve seen that he has turned to his disciples and he speaks to them with concern. Because hell is real. Because hell is horrible. Because it’s unforgiven sin that takes us there.…
Resurrection and the End of Sin
Romans 6:1-11 The Scripture readings foreshadowed what I want to share with you this morning about one of the most significant implications of the Gospel, and one that is in dire need of redressing in our modern day. In the message of the Gospel, we learn that God saves sinners. We learn that God reconciles sinners to himself, not counting their trespasses against them because of the atoning death of Jesus Christ on the cross. All who repent of their…
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…
