Sermons on Luke (Page 13)
Out of the Darkness
Luke 3:1-6. Luke give us a historical perspective of the times in which John the Baptizer began his ministry and ultimately when Jesus comes onto the world stage. It is a dark time when sinful men rule on the earth. God’s work in not in the least stifled by darkness. He works great things right in the midst of darkness in bringing men to Himself.
Witnesses to Jesus identity
Luke 1:21-38. A less familiar portion of the birth story of our Lord, Mary and Joseph submit to the law of God in circumcising Jesus and offering the sacrifice prescribed. They encounter two witnesses in the Temple, Simeon, a righteous and devote man, and Anna, a prophetess who lives an exemplary life who give testimony, under the leading of the Holy Spirit to the identity of this child Jesus.

A Promise Made is a Debt Unpaid: Part 1
Luke 1:67-79. Zechariah’s prophecy as he is filled by the Holy Spirit is completely centered around the covenants of God related to salvation, the Davidic, the Abrahamic, and the New Covenants. As we start examining this passage, we begin with a brief look at the question: What is prophecy? This is foundational for proper interpretation. In this message we look at the first related covenant, the eternal covenant God made with David concerning the throne of Israel and David’s descendant…
Promises and the Promiser
Luke 1:57-66. God brings his promise of a child born to Zechariah and Elizabeth to fulfillment. This passage of scripture is all about God’s faithfulness to His promises. So we ask the question: Do God’s promises depend on our response to Him? Some say yes, but what does the Bible say?
The Heart of Worship: Part 2
Luke 1:46-55. Mary’s song of praise is so profound it requires a second look. Worship must be authentic. Worship must be lived!
The Heart of Worship
Luke 1:46-56. We look at Mary’s song of praise to the Lord, and we recall the life of praise she has already demonstrated and we see one who truly loves the Lord because she knows Him. Do we know Him? Do we understand who He is like she did? If so we too will be a people of genuine worship.
