The Upper Room is Not Our Destiny

This sermon serves as a transition between the Book of Luke and the Book of Acts, from which will come our next series of sermons.

Luke 24:48-53 - Stop Doubting and Believe

Luke 24:1-8 - Resurrection

Part 81 in the Book of Luke sermon series. In 1 Corinthians 15:13-14, Paul wrote, "If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." Belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ is crucial to the Christian faith.
Luke 24:1-8

Luke 23:50-56 - The Significance of Jesus' Burial

Part 80 of the Book of Luke sermon series.
Why did Jesus have to die? The death of the Messiah was foretold hundreds of years before Jesus lived and died. Did the way He died have significance?

Luke 23:32-49 - Two Criminals and Jesus

Part 79 in the Book of Luke sermon series.
Are you a follower of Christ? Have you been crucified with Christ? What are your witnesses saying about your crucifixion? Two criminals were crucified with Jesus. What did one of them see that caused him to turn to Christ for salvation, while on the cross?
Luke 23:32-49

Luke 23:35-38 - Jesus: King of the Jews, King Over All

Part 78 of the Book of Luke sermon series.
As Jesus hung on the cross, there must have been doubts in the minds of many of His followers as to whether He really was the Son of God. Why didn't He save Himself? Why didn't He call on heaven to rescue Him? But as recorded in Isaiah 55, "...so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." God had a plan before the foundation of the world, and this was part of His plan.
Luke 23:35-38

Luke 23:27-34

Jesus, on His way to Calvary, is mourned by women following Him. Luke briefly mentions the two thieves crucified on either side of Him. Jesus' crucifixion is prophesied in Psalms 22 and Isaiah 53.
