A message from the series “Sermons.” The end times is always one of the topics that Christians are very curious about. In our text this morning, Jesus teaches us about some of these things.

A message from the series “Sermons.” In this sermon Pastor Jon English explains how pride makes a man sinfully insistent, easily provoked, and resentful. Also, Christ demonstrates that loving meekness is instead deferential to others, stable, and ready to forgive.

A message from the series “Sermons.” Humility and Thankfulness – these virtues fit together. Those who are humble are also thankful because they know they could never merit the grace gifts of God, and those who are thankful tend to also be humble as they consider the magnitude of what has been given to them in Christ. Through this passage, we learn that God does not owe us blessings in exchange for our obedience, and we also learn the beauty of having Christ as the focus of our thankfulness.

A message from the series “Sermons.” As we transition into chapter 17 of Luke, Jesus’s attention turns from the crowds to more directed teaching for His disciples. The time He has with them is growing short, so He is being much more intentional about training them and preparing them to be the apostles of the church when he has returned to heaven.

A message from the series “Sermons.” The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is one of Luke’s most well-known parables. If you recall, the context of this chapter in Luke is dealing principally with the Pharisees’ love of money. They were given over to idolatry of riches and they continually set aside the law of God whenever it suited their selfish desires. So Jesus gave this parable to destroy their assumption that wealth corresponded to God’s favor and to warn them that judgment and agony in hell was coming.
