Luke 4:22-30

Who is Jesus and what does he want with me? We have heard the news of his virgin birth. We have read about his baptism as the beloved Son. We have seen his struggle with Satan and listened to his preaching of the gospel. And in each of these cases, we have been  confronted with his claims. Listen to Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word.

Luke 4:14-21

Of all the great sermons that have ever been given since the beginning of time, there is no greater sermon than the one that Jesus preached in his hometown of Nazareth. It was a sermon designed to bring people to saving faith, to give them hope in trouble, and to help them see the glory of the Son of God. Hear about this remarkable message from Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word.

Luke 4:1-13

Jesus had come to destroy the devil and to liberate people who were enslaved to Satan by sin. Rather than waging a secret war or launching some kind of sneak attack, Jesus took the fight directly to Satan. Listen to Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word. 

Luke 3:23-28

We are passing away and shall soon be gone. This is what it means to be human. We are born, we live a short time during which we sin, and then we die. But the good news is that from the very beginning, God promised to send a Savior to a long and fallen line of sinners. Hear the good news on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.

Luke 3:15-22

It can be tempting to think of the one who baptizes as more spiritual than the one being baptized. We may even be tempted to think of the baptizer as being even greater in value because of his position. But Jesus turned this temptation upside down when He was baptized by John the Baptist. Tune in to Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word.

Luke 3:1-14

We hear of the importance of preparation everywhere we go. People need to prepare for all kinds of things including exams, interviews, visitors, children, marriage, deadlines, taxes and even death. Now God did not need to prepare the way for Jesus to bring salvation to the world, but he did. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about those preparations on Every Last Word.

Luke 2:39-52

In the early 1970s, the good people at the TOPS chewing gum company produced a series of baseball cards that featured boyhood photos of the stars. Each card featured a black and white photograph of some baseball all-star when he was a young boy. And then in the corner there was a contemporary picture of him for the purpose of comparison. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the childhood of Jesus on Every Last Word.

Luke 2:21-38

There is no salvation without the cross and the empty tomb. And yet what Simeon said when he saw the baby was really true: “I have seen salvation. I’ve really seen the whole thing…because seeing Jesus is all that anyone needs to be saved.” Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from the book of Luke on Every Last Word.

Luke 2:8-20

Angels came with a message of joyful praise; they revealed the identity of the newborn baby Jesus to the shepherds. The shepherds took the angels by their word and went to see Jesus, resulting in worship and sharing the good news of the coming of the Savior of the world. Dr. Philip Ryken shares the message, "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" on Every Last Word.

Luke 2:1-7

One of the great mysteries of the universe is the fact that when God the Son became a man, he spent his first night in a barn. Now why was Jesus born like this? What does the crude and unwelcome poverty of his birth tell us about the way of salvation? Tune in to Every Last Word as Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about Christ's birth in a manger.
