“The Song of Zechariah”

“The Song of Zechariah” (Luke 1:68–79)Pastor Cameron JungelsEastside Baptist ChurchSunday AM, December 4, 2016
Luke 1:68–79 (NIV)
68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,      because he has come to his people and redeemed them. 69 He has raised up a horn  of salvation for us         in the house of his servant David 70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), 71 salvation from our enemies      and from the hand of all who hate us— 72 to show mercy to our ancestors      and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham: 74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,      and to enable us to serve him without fear 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;      for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, 77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation      through the forgiveness of their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of our God,      by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven 79 to shine on those living in darkness      and in the shadow of death,      to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
 
     1. Zechariah praises God for fulfilling the Davidic Covenant. (vv. 68–71).
     2. Zechariah praises God for fulfilling the Abrahamic Covenant. (vv. 72–75).
     3. Zechariah praises God for fulfilling his promise regarding John (vv. 76–77).
     4. Zechariah praises God for the rising Sun that will scatter the darkness. (vv. 78–79)
Main Idea: The Birth of our Savior Jesus Christ is a reminder that God keeps his promises.
 

“The Song of Mary”

“The Song of Mary” (Luke 1:39–56)
Pastor Cameron Jungels

Sunday AM, November 27, 2016
 

Luke 1:39–56 (NIV)
     39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
     46 And Mary said:
         “My soul glorifies the Lord
     47  and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
     48 for he has been mindful
         of the humble state of his servant.
         From now on all generations will call me blessed,
     49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
         holy is his name.
     50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
         from generation to generation.
     51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
         he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
     52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
         but has lifted up the humble.
     53 He has filled the hungry with good things
         but has sent the rich away empty.
     54 He has helped his servant Israel,
         remembering to be merciful
     55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
         just as he promised our ancestors.”
     56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then                            returned home.
 
 
Main Idea: Our response to the coming of Jesus Christ into the world should be to break forth in song and share the message with every one we can.

"Angels and Shepherds" (Luke 2:8-20)

"Angels and Shepherds" (Luke 2:8-20)Pastor Cameron JungelsEastside Baptist ChurchSunday AM, December 13, 2015
Luke 2:8–20 (NIV)

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,

and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. God’s grace is revealed to ordinary, lowly people (8-9).God’s grace dispels fear and brings joy (10).God’s grace is accomplished through historical events in time and space (11, 15-16).God’s grace comes in the most unexpected ways (12).God’s grace is announced with the highest fanfare (13-14).God’s grace glorifies himself and brings peace to us (14).God’s grace should be proclaimed by those who have received it (17-18, 20).

The New Covenant Meal (Luke 22; Jeremiah 31; Hebrews 10)

Luke 22:14–20 (NIV)

14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”

17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
Jeremiah 31:31–34 (NIV)

31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,

“when I will make a new covenant

with the people of Israel

and with the people of Judah.

32 It will not be like the covenant

I made with their ancestors

when I took them by the hand

to lead them out of Egypt,

because they broke my covenant,

though I was a husband to them,”

declares the Lord.

33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel

after that time,” declares the Lord.

“I will put my law in their minds

and write it on their hearts.

I will be their God,

and they will be my people.

34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,

or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’

because they will all know me,

from the least of them to the greatest,”

declares the Lord.

“For I will forgive their wickedness

and will remember their sins no more.”
Hebrews 10:11–25 (NIV)

11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:

16 “This is the covenant I will make with them

after that time, says the Lord.

I will put my laws in their hearts,

and I will write them on their minds.” 

17 Then he adds:

“Their sins and lawless acts

I will remember no more.” 

18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.


19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Luke 2:1-20 - Cameron Jungels - 12-21-1014 AM

The
Birth of Jesus
2 In those days Caesar Augustus
issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This
was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And
everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also
went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of
David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He
went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was
expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for
the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a
son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no
guest room available for them.
8 And there were
shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at
night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory
of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But
the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will
cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of
David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This
will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a
manger.”  
13 Suddenly a great
company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in
the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his
favor rests.”
15 When the angels
had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s
go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told
us about.”
16 So they hurried
off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When
they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them
about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what
the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these
things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds
returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and
seen, which were just as they had been told.

“Faith and Gratitude” (Luke 17:11–19)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sunday AM/November 23,
2014 
 Luke 17:11–19
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled
along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 
12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy
met him. They stood at a distance  13
and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on
us!"  14 When he saw
them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they
went, they were cleansed.  15
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud
voice.  16 He threw himself at
Jesus' feet and thanked him-- and he was a Samaritan.  17 Jesus asked, "Were not all
ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?  18
Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?"  19 Then he said to him, "Rise
and go; your faith has made you well." 
 1.      
Jesus is powerful and full of compassion, and
many are blessed by his kindness. 
a.     
Jesus’ ability to heal multitudes with the sound of his
voice demonstrates his divine power.
b.     
Jesus’ willingness to heal despised and unclean lepers
demonstrates his bountiful compassion. 
2.     
Receiving the blessings of Jesus' common grace is
not enough to make a person thankful (Physical blessings don’t change the spiritual
heart). a.     
We are prone to a sense of entitlement.
b.     
We focus more on the gift than the giver. 
3.     
Thankfulness is the natural response of faith in
a person whose heart has been healed by Jesus' saving grace. 
a.     
Inner faith expresses itself outwardly in response to
Christ:
                                                             
i.     
Repentance
                                                          
ii.     
Praise
                                                        
iii.     
Humility & Worship
                                                         
iv.     
Thanksgiving 
b.     
Such a faith is rare in our fallen world.
c.      
Faith such as this takes root in unexpected people. 
Main Idea: Thanksgiving should be our willing and
continual response to the saving grace of Christ.

“The Song of the Angels” (Luke 2:8­-20)

Luke 19 v28 - 40 - Cameron Jungles 3-24-2013

Luke 19:28–40
The Stones Would Cry Out
28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end." (Lk. 1:28-33, NIV)
68 "Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them. 69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (Lk. 1:68-69, NIV)
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. (Lk. 9:51, NIV)
28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 "Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say, 'The Lord needs it.'" (Lk. 19:28-31, NIV)
9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. (Zech. 9:9, NIV)
32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the colt?" 34 They replied, "The Lord needs it." (Lk. 19:32-34, NIV)
35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. (Lk. 19:35-36, NIV)
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: (Lk. 19:37, NIV)
4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. (Zech. 14:4, NIV)
38 "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" (Lk. 19:38, NIV)
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" (Lk. 19:39, NIV)
40 "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." (Lk. 19:40, NIV)
Main Idea: Jesus is the Triumphant King and he is worthy of praise and glory.

Luke 1:57-80 “The Mercies of God”

The Birth of John the Baptist

57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”
62 Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. 63 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.” 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God. 65 All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things. 66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.
Zechariah’s Song
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
because he has come to his people and redeemed them.
69 He has raised up a horn[a] of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David
70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us—
72 to show mercy to our ancestors
and to remember his holy covenant,
73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,
and to enable us to serve him without fear
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit[b]; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.

God is abundant in mercy.
