“A Feast of Fat Things” Luke 14:15-24. In verses 7-12 of this chapter the Lord exposes man; whether it was the invited guest, or the inviting host, they were alike marked by a feature common to both, namely, self-seeking.

Saved Now and for Ever Luke 23:39-46. In Luke 23:39-46 is described the manner of God’s grace to a thief on the cross. It is the great instance of the grace of God to a sinner; that of Saul of Tarsus is the greatest. The popular idea that it refers to a…
