Sermons on Luke (Page 11)

The Son with Two Fathers

At twelve years of age Jesus had incredible self-awareness. Here he confesses that he is the Son of God and is the Lord’s Christ. At the same time, we’re reminded that Jesus is human. How this fits together is ultimately beyond our understanding but it absolutely necessary for the gospel. Here is Christ Jesus revealed, our Passover Lamb! Passage: Luke 2:41-52

The Glory of Jesus’ Birth

Jesus is born in a revelation of the glory of God. In fact, the decree from Caesar Augustus, the singing of the angels, the word of the shepherds, all testify to the glory of God in the birth of the Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord. Passage: Luke 2:1-20

Rejoicing in a Great Salvation

When John the Baptist is born, Zechariah is filled with the Holy Spirit and utters words of praise and worship. These words are filled with truth concerning Christ that will bring us great hope and joy. We see in these verses that salvation is much more that we often hear that it is. Passage: Luke 1:57-80

Rejoicing in the Mighty One

We examine the contagious joy of Elizabeth and Mary as they rejoice in the Lord and magnify his might and mercy. May their joy challenge us to have joy in God in our present circumstances. Here is a call to turn from sin which zaps our joy and turn to God in whom there is fullness of joy forevermore. Passage: Luke 1:39-56

Announcing the Birth of the King

We consider the angel’s message to Mary announcing the coming of Christ into the world. So much anticipation that we can now look back upon and rejoice for what God had done and is doing through his Son. Passage: Luke 1:26-38

The Forerunner Foretold

We begin the account of Jesus with the foretelling of John the baptizers birth. Zechariah and Elizabeth are chosen of the Lord to bring forth this child who will prepare the way for the Christ. May God use his word to prepare our own hearts to receive Christ and be brought to him. Passage: Luke 1:5-25

That You May Have Certainty

The introduction to the gospel according to Luke. There are so many misconceptions to how we know about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. As such, we consider why Luke wrote, why we should pay attention, and why this written account gives us certainty. Passage: Luke 1:1-4

The Law of Love

We are constantly reminded to love our neighbor in the midst of this pandemic. What does it mean to biblically love our neighbor? This sermon examines Jesus’ teaching and applies it to our present circumstances.

God? Disease, Suffering, and Death

When calamity strikes, it is common to consider God’s plan and power. Is God responsible? Is this judgment? How can he allow this? How can he be glorified in this? Won’t this turn people away from him? Why doesn’t he do something? In this sermon, we consider the scriptural witness that God is in absolute control over all things, including suffering. But rather than be a detriment to faith, this undergirds and raises our faith! We consider six ways God’s…

The Resurrection of Jesus: Idle Tale or Risen Lord?

When the disciples first heard of the resurrection they thought it an idle tale. What changed their mind? Where did Jesus consistently point to validate the resurrection? The Scriptures! This gives us great hope since we have the Scriptures today!

Messiah Has Come

After God created the world, sin quickly entered his good creation. In the midst of that first act of human rebellion God made a promise to send a deliverer who would rescue this world from sin and defeat all evil–including death itself. At the incarnation, the promised one is here! Jesus Christ entered his creation as a child. He came to give his life as a ransom. He came to rescue his people from their sins. In these chapters we…
