Sermons on The Lordship of Jesus
Jesus the Nazarene, Lord of Salvation (Acts 2:14-36)
Under the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, Peter declared to the gathered crowds, and all the residents of Jerusalem, that the arrival of the Spirit portended the Messianic Age of salvation, and that they murdered God’s Messiah, Jesus the Nazarene. The Spirit continues to this day, testifying to the…
All Stand Before the Sovereign King Who Knows Everything (Luke 22:54-71)
The Son of Man has all dominion, glory, and power. His is the eternal Kingdom so that all would serve him. Throughout the law and the prophets, we see that these things are only ascribed to the LORD, Yahweh, Jehovah. Jesus is God, and he sits on the throne with all dominion and glory over his…
King David’s Lord (Luke 20:41-21:4)
In this passage, Jesus goes on the offensive to definitively demonstrate that he is the Christ, and as such, carries all the authority of the Lord.

Sometimes titled, “The Cost of Discipleship,” this passage reveals the qualifications for following Jesus. Any one who would follow Jesus must give him their full allegiance. Our hearts are prone to give allegiance to many things (idols, false gods, earthly passions). However, we must…

Beholding the Glory of the Lord in Jesus (Luke 9:18-36)
A true confession of Jesus always goes through the cross and understands Jesus to be Lord and Christ (Anointed Savior). A confession of Jesus as Lord and Christ involves following Him as Lord and Christ. Since Christ’s mission went through a cross, so also will ours. As we turn away from our…
The Blessedness of Obedience
As we continue through Luke, we see that those who hear the words of Jesus and obey them are those who have a firm foundation for life. Those who hear but do not obey Jesus as Lord are living on a foundation on the verge of collapse.
