Rightly Practicing the Word

James 1:26-27 Well, so we’re gonna be in James chapter 1, the last two verses, verses 26 through 27, continuing in our study through the book of James. Today we come to the end of chapter 1. We’re in that final, the final section that I kinda laid out, the final, the kinda concluding section of verses 19 through 27. It’s a section which kinda works together as, as an appropriate, uh, conclusion to the introduction of the book in…

Rightly Responding to the Word

James 1:22-25 Turn in your Bibles to James 1, as we are almost through with the first chapter. Today we’re going to be looking specifically at one of the more famous portions of the entire book, verses 22-25. And as we have gone through this chapter, we’ve drawn attention to the various linking words and clever ways that James has linked verses and ideas together. The reason we’ve drawn attention to that is so that we can be confident that…

Rightly Receiving the Word

James 1:19-21 If you would open your Bibles to the first chapter of the book of James, that’s where we’re going to be this morning. This week and next week really does flow well out of what, what Bret was talking about, the end of Psalm 19 last week. So it’ll be good for us. And in, in preparation, trying to get to the communion service on time, I just shredded up my introduction really small for you all. So…

God’s Word: Its Ministry and Excellency as Applied to the Believer in Contrast to the Virtual World

Psalm 19:7-14 If you missed last week, we started into Psalm 19. And we looked at the first 6 verses of that psalm, which talked about general revelation: the created world, its nature, its effects, and how we can apply that. And today we’re gonna finish up this psalm talking about special revelation, the revealed Word of God, and the right response that we should have to it. So if you’re not already there, turn with me to Psalm 19,…

God’s World: Its Nature and Effects as Applied to the Believer in Contrast to the Virtual World

Psalm 19:1-6 If you would turn with me in your Bibles for our message this morning to Psalm 19, and as you turn to Psalm 19, I was directed to this passage in the Lord’s good Providence as I recently read a book called, “12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You” by Tony Reinke. And if you ran into me during the conference in the conference bookstore, you probably heard me tell you that if you were going to buy…

The Lord’s Chosen Cornerstone

Luke 20:16-19 Well, we are back in Luke 20 this morning, this week, to finish the parable of the wicked tenants or the Lord’s tenant problem, and what he was dealing with, and the tenants who had control of his vineyard. This week we’re looking at the final section of the parable. We’re gonna start by reading the parable. You’ll find that in Luke 20, verse 9 and following. We’ll read the parable, get a quick review, and then see…

The Lord’s Tenant Problem

Luke 20:9-16 Well, you can turn to Luke 20 in your Bibles this morning, Luke 20, as we continue our exposition of Luke’s Gospel. Luke chapter 20 and verse 9. Over the past few weeks in our study, we have seen the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ on display as He came into his temple, the temple in Jerusalem, as he cleared away all that offended God the Father. As he reclaimed the Temple of God for God’s purpose,…

The Authority Controversy, Part 2

Luke 20:5-8 Well, we are back in Luke 20 and the authority controversy that erupted in Israel. And so you can turn to Luke 20 to see this authority controversy that erupted in Israel when Jesus came to the Temple, reclaimed the Temple for God. Last week I got through half my points, which was more than half of my sermon, and so I chopped it off right in the middle. And I’ve been able to go back to the…
