Sermons on Luke (Page 8)
Sign of Jonah
Luke 11:29-36 Jesus speak of the generation in Israel at His time as being evil. These actively choose to remain in darkness rather than walk in the light. They have been given ample evidence, yet they demand more signs in order to believe. Jesus offers nothing but the sign of Jonah, which might not be what you think it is upon first reading of this text.
Morality Doesn’t Save
Luke 11:24-28 Jesus teaches about a demon that leaves a man and finding no rest and his house still empty he returns and brings seven more evil demons with him. This was a man who cleaned up his life, he turned from immorality to live a good life. But this is no protection from demons. Morality is a dangerous thing apart from the spirit of God bringing regeneration. Sinners see their sin much more easily, but good people believe themselves…
A Kingdom Divided Falls!
Luke 11:14-23 Jesus is confronted by some who claim that His miracles are works of the power of Satan. In His response, Jesus shows the absurdity and error of their thinking. A Kingdom divided cannot stand. There is a need for Christians to know when to separate, and wisdom needed to understand when we are to be united.
Teach Us To Pray: Part 4
Luke 11:5-13. Jesus taught the heart we are to approach the Father with, the petitions we are to bring before our Father’s throne, and here in today’s text the reception we find in our God as we pray. Ask, Seek, knock. Our Father is faithful!
Teach Us To Pray: Part 3
Luke 11:1-4 Jesus gives His disciples a model for prayer that focuses on God’s glory, attributes, provision, salvation, and protection. Today we look at the second half of this prayer and our asking our Father for physical provision, spiritual provision, and protection from temptation and the evil one.
Teach Us To Pray: Part 2
Luke 11.1-4 Jesus teaches the disciples to pray with a model of prayer completely focused on God. He is our Father, He is holy, He is sovereign ruler and we should pray that His kingdom would come, and His will be done on earth like it is in heaven.
Teach Us To Pray: Part 1
Luke 11:1-4 The disciples ask Jesus to teach them to pray. Prayer is a matter of our heart connecting with the Lord. He is our Father, though not everyone’s, and He is our holy Father.
The Christian Priority
Luke 10:38-42. A simple narrative tells us of a family inviting Jesus into their home. One sits at His feet listening, one serves. Who chose correctly? Is listening to Christ our best and highest concern? It should be!
Who Is My Neighbor?
Luke 10:29-37. Responding to the scribe who asked “what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus explains who is the neighbor that is to be loved by telling the parable of the good Samaritan. Do you love you neighbor?
What Shall I Do?
Luke 10:25-29 A man asks Jesus “what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” This question should be principle in the mind of every person. Jesus answers not by telling the man he has no worries because God loves him, but rather by pointing the man to the Law of God. Fulfill the law and you will live! So how are you doing at keeping the law?
