Luke 21:5-20 – Jesus’ Prediction of the Destruction of Jerusalem

Jesus’ words in Luke 21:5-20 are rooted in a very particular moment: He stands in the temple during His final week, addressing people who can see the stones and splendor of that building with their own eyes. He warns them that what they admire will not stand. The question the people ask is simple and immediate: when will this happen, and what signs will show that it is near?

Deuteronomy 14:1-21 – Dietary Laws – Theology of Holiness

God gave Israel the dietary laws to keep them separate from the gentile nations. Underlying the dietary laws is the theology of holiness. In this sermon, we will look at how these laws were necessary for the Old Covenant, but no longer required for the New Covenant. From a redemptive history perspective, the distinction between Jew and Gentile is not relevant. Under the New Covenant the distinction is made between those who are in Christ and those who are not in Christ. Christ has come to remove the wall of separation between Jew and Gentile; therefore, the dietary laws are no longer necessary.
