Lamentations - Ezekiel

September 11, 2024 • Dr. Derrick Wilson, Sr. Pastor • Lamentations, Ezekiel

Main Point [Lamentations]: The book of Lamentations is individual poetic reflections on the fall of Jerusalem and the exile that followed. Like the prophetic works, the complexity of God's dealings with his people, and their understanding of this dealing, is highlighted in the poetry of Lamentations.

Main Point [Ezekiel]: At the beginning of Babylonian exile, God gave the prophet Ezekiel a vision of the glory of the LORD, a prophecy of judgment, and a prophecy of hope.

Luke part 2

November 6, 2024 • Dr. Derr • Luke

LUKE PART 2 Main Point: Luke, an educated Gentile historian, chose to write an orderly account of the story of the life of Jesus the Messiah From last time... - Luke most likely joined up with Paul in Acts 16 during Paul's second missionary journey. - Luke wrote to a Gentile named Theophilus ("lover of God") who was likely a patron who financially supported Luke's work as a theological historian. - Luke utilized sources (Mark? Matthew? Q?) and eyewitnesses to construct his account. One very notable possible eyewitness is Mary, which would explain how Luke had so much detail concerning the Christmas account in Luke 1-2. - Luke focused on the theme of Jesus coming for the poor and outcast. This theme is proclaimed by Jesus in the synagogue of Nazareth in Luke 4 (Reciting Isaiah 61 - "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.") But it is also seen in how Luke focused on the plight of the poor, the outcast, the orphan, the sick, the Samaritan, the women, and other isolated, oppressed groups. - Luke also shows the reader how Jesus is the Christ but that this would come about through suffering. (Confer especially Luke 9:18-27) Texts to Consider: Luke 9:51 Luke 10:1-12, 17-20 Luke 11:1-3 Luke 13:1-5 Luke 16:19-31 Luke 24:22-27; 44-49
