Sermons on Luke (Page 15)

Love Much, Because Forgiven Much

Luke 7:36-50 We consider this account of Jesus dining at the Pharisee’s house and reflect on the fact that the strength of our love for Jesus will be closely related to our consciousness of the enormity of the debt of sin we owe to God…

Christ, the Savior, is Born

Luke 2:10-11 We consider the importance of the birth of Christ, which we particularly remember on this day. We learn that it is not enough just to know the facts about Jesus, or even to believe that they are true. We must also trust in Christ for our salvation. This i

Christ, the Lord, is Born

Luke 2:10-11 As well as being our Savior, Jesus Christ is also our King. As such, He subdues His people to Himself and then rules over them for their good. He also protects them from harm, restraining the sin of men and the power of the Devil and his angels so that th

Remember Lot’s Wife

Luke 17:22-37 In one of the shortest commandments in the Bible, we are told that we must remember Lot’s wife. This is because she failed to obey an order directly from God and the circumstances of her disobedience are richly instructive to us today. We examine these ci

One Thing Is Necessary

Luke 10:38-42 We consider the account of Jesus in the home of Mary and Martha. One of the sisters was distraught with all the arrangements she was making to offer Him hospitality, while the other took the position of a student and sat at His feet as He spoke. We appl

Are All Sins Equally Bad?

Luke 12:47-48 We come to the section in the Catechism that deals with the doctrine of eternal damnation. We see that all sins deserve eternal punishment because they are committed against an infinitely holy and just God. However, we also see that one sin differs from a

Peace Among Men

Luke 2:14 In another sermon that looks to the coming of the New Year, we see Christ as the Prince of Peace and consider how we, as Christians, are to strive for harmony with our brothers and sisters in the Lord. We examine Biblical peace to see what it is and also

His Kingdom Shall Have No End

Luke 1:26-38 We continue to look at the birth of Christ and focus on the fact that He was born a King. * In what sense was Jesus Great? * What kind of kingdom does Christ have? * What right does He have to be King? * Who are His subjects? * When did Jesus begin to r

Good News of Great Joy

Luke 2:8-14 At the Christmas Season, we review the message that the angels gave to the shepherds when announcing the birth of Christ. We consider why this was such good news, and why it is a source of joy that is offered to all people.
