That Paul says he has a holy obligation to God in these verses ought to cause us to think for ourselves – am I under any such obligation to God? Yes, all believers are obligated to thank God. Why? To answer this, we must first answer why Paul feels an obligation of gratitude to God as he thinks of the Thessalonians. Why does Paul sense a duty to give thanks to God?

  1. For God’s Grace in General
  2. For God’s Spiritual Work in Believers
  3. For God’s Answering Prayer

  1. The Joy of the Bridegroom’s Presence
  2. The Sorrow of the Bridegroom’s Absence
  3. The Superiority of the Bridegroom’s Ways

Before us is yet another example of how Jesus deals with sinners. What makes the encounter of Jesus and Levi powerful is that we see not just how Jesus deals with sinners, but the worst of sinners.

Luke has written his gospel so that believers may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.
He has carefully crafted a story about Jesus, and with great skill has shown us that Jesus of Nazareth was far from an ordinary man.
In today’s brief story of the healing of the leper, Luke with a dense, rich story adds even more to our understanding of who Jesus is.
In so doing, God’s Word also speaks to how men should approach Jesus.

  1. Faith’s Desperate Plea
  2. Christ’s Companionate Will
  3. Christ’s Greatest Priority

Passage: Luke 5: 1-11

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Date: June 13th, 2021

In God’s providence, two boats rested on or near the shore of the Sea of Galilee One of them belonged to Simon Peter. In this important story of Peter’s call to discipleship, Peter’s boat becomes almost a character in itself. In each segment of this account, the boat has a role to play. the story in part is about a boat, and even more so about peter’s calling to follow Jesus and work for him. But this story is, once again, most about our Lord Jesus.

  1. A Boat as Christ’s Pulpit
  2. Two Boats under Christ’s Power
  3. No Boat in Christ’s Promise

In the passage, Luke bookends the whole account of Jesus’ ministry in Capernaum with the ministry of the word. He also draws our attention to the authority of Jesus. The emphasis on authority, as we will see, supports and strengthens Jesus’ teaching authority.

  1. Jesus had Teaching Authority(vv 31-32)

3. Jesus had Healing Authority(vv38-39)

4. Jesus had Divine Authority(vv 40-44)

Title: The Son in the Synagogues

Passage: Luke 4:14-30

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: May 16, 2021

In this passage, Luke introduces the preaching and teaching ministry of Jesus. He does not emphasize Jesus’ miracles, but draws our attention to his teaching. To do this, he chooses an episode from Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, when he came to his hometown of Nazareth. I want you to notice three aspects of Christ’s ministry:

  1. The Spirit’s Power upon Jesus’ Teaching (vv 14-15)
  2. The Messianic Anointing of for Jesus’ Teaching (vv 16-21)
  3. The Familiar Rejection of Jesus’ Teaching (vv 22-30)
