Love Never Puts God to the Test

Luke 4:9-13 By the virtue the two natures one divine, one human joined together, mysteriously in this one person. Jesus is proving to be the impeccable man. That is, a man who does not sin, will not sin, because of his divine nature, not able to sin.   When tested, as we see here, these three times and tested, I think more than that as well. Also, as we’ll see tested throughout his life and ministry, he did not sin. Instead,…

Loyal to God Alone

Luke 4:5-8   We should never doubt God’s care and concern.  He takes care of the most insignificant of the creatures.  How much more will he care for us?  But the devil tempted Jesus, nonetheless, to turn from faith in God and to turn to himself to provide for himself.  Jesus answered there, confirming God’s intent to provide for all of our needs.  He said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’”   The clear implication from the…

Not by Bread Alone

Luke 4:1-4 Starting in Luke 4:1, and we’ll read all the way through verse 13.  “And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led up by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil.  And he ate nothing during those days.  And when they were ended, he was hungry.  The devil said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.’   And Jesus answered him,…

The Devil’s Temptation of Jesus

Luke 4:1-2 So here in Luke’s gospel, fourth chapter, let’s enter the passage together, just starting with reading the passage about the devil’s temptation of Jesus Christ. Says there in Luke chapter four, verse one. “And Jesus full of the Holy Spirit returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for 40 days, being tempted by the devil, and he ate nothing during those days, when they were ended, he was hungry. The devil said…

The Power of Gospel-Driven Ministry

1 Thessalonians 1:5-10 Turn in your bibles to 1 Thessalonians and in the beginning of the month, I preached from 1 Thessalonians chapter 1 and I’d like to return to that text, finish the chapter. I’m gonna begin by reading the passage and then we’ll have just a short period of review to kinda go over what we covered in that last sermon. So if you’re in 1 Thessalonians chapter 1, let’s read that chapter together. Let me just get…

The Foundation of a True Church

1 Thessalonians 1:1-5 As we turn our attention to God’s word this morning, I’d like you to open your Bibles to Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonian church, 1 Thessalonians. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10. “Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your…

The Lineage of the Last Adam

Luke 3:23-38   One of the joys of expository preaching is that you get to be exposed to all different portions of Scripture.  Not many preachers would on their own choose to preach through genealogies, but expository preaching is a method of preaching that requires you to move verse by verse, passage by passage through the Scripture.  So, I’m forced to do this, but gratefully so.  I am very much encouraged by this passage and I hope you are as…
