Much of our time today will be spent considering the kind of man that Zacchaeus was, according to what we see here in these verses; but I don’t want us to examine Zacchaeus and miss the more important point of this text. What is that point? That point is found in verse 10—the Son of…
Through this series of lessons in Luke 18, Jesus is trying to rectify our faulty thinking on one very important issue: too often people think that they can be good enough to earn eternal life with God, but that is a flawed assessment! I can only imagine what must have been going on in the…
We’ll be returning to Luke 18, this morning—looking at verses 18-30. In this passage, Jesus says that God is the only one who is good. And in the Scripture—specifically in the Book of Psalms—the Bible tells us over and over again that the Lord, He is good! Only God is good, and we aren’t God.…

We cannot forget that there is immeasurable power behind the message of the Gospel! The same power that was at work in Philippi is the same power that is at work in and through us. There is power in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We must be careful not to box God in by our cynicism and lack of faith. Our faith in God rests in the power of the gospel—“for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘the righteous shall live by faith’” (Romans 1:17).
