Sermons on Luke (Page 2)
Consolation of Israel
Luke brings together the lives of 8 people in the first 2 chapters of his Gospel to reveal the Salvation and Consolation of Israel to those who will follow. The foundation for the church is prayer and the Word is the perfect comfort of God. Scripture: Luke 1 & 2, 2 Peter 2:4-5
The Word From The Cross
Words that take us past our flesh to follow Him. Scripture: 1 Cor 1:17-18, Luke 2:22-24, John 12:1-19, John 19:1-6, John 19:17-27
Law of Life
Pastor Ricley discusses the difference between physical circumcision and us “being the circumcision” through Christ. Scripture: Phil 3:3, Gal 5:4-24, Luke 12:1-19

Church today is lukewarm, missing the value of the true relationship with Jesus. Scripture: …
Scandalized
Not one of us is immune from the voice of doubt. We must be ever vigilant over our thoughts & stay rooted in the truth of the Word rather than what it “feels” like.Scripture: Luke 7:11-24
Conformed or Transformed?
The church is running out of power because it’s left the Upper Room. The hour we’re in is similar to the hour Jesus walked the earth in. We have to choose if we’re going to go with the crowd or be transformed by the power of Christ.Scripture: Luke 3:1-3, Mark 8:34-36, Romans 12:1, 2 Cor 3:12-18
Certainty
The Bible starts with the voice of God and ends with the voice of God. It’s that voice and the written Word that gives us absolute certainty in the message of a never-failing God. Scripture: John 1:1-14, Rev 10:7, Rev 19:12-13, Matt 1:17, Num 33:1-2, Mark 1:1-3, Luke 1:1-4
