Luke 21:5-11

Part 63 in the Book of Luke sermon series.
Jesus' disciples were exclaiming over their majestic Temple when Jesus astonished them by prophesying that within a short time, the Temple would be completely destroyed. His disciples then asked Jesus what signs they could expect to know when this life-shattering event would take place.

Luke 20:1-19

Part 60 in the Book of Luke sermon series.
Chapter 19 of Luke's gospel record ended with Jesus driving out those who were selling at the temple because in His words, "It is written, 'My house will be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers." (Luke 19:46).

From the temple courts, Jesus taught the people about God's character, His holiness and His commands, and He preached the good news about the need for repentance and what He, Jesus came to offer those who would truly surrender their lives to Him.

Jesus was questioned by the religious leaders about His authority, and then He went on to tell a parable to the people concerning a vineyard owner and His tenants. He ended with a quote from Psalm 118 - "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone (cornerstone)."

This message should cause us to examine ourselves to see whether we are truly seeking God with all our hearts and bearing fruit for His kingdom, or whether we are just practicing religiosity, being complacent with our lives.

Luke 19:45-48

Part 59 in the Book of Luke sermon series. In this passage, Jesus showed us unrighteous happenings in the temple which distracted people from the true worship of God. This should cause us to examine ourselves to see if we are doing anything to distract others from drawing closer to our Lord.
Luke 19:45-48
