Summary - Rev 12 On what day was Jesus actually born? What year? Does the timing matter? Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25, but virtually all Christians know that day isn’t the real birth date of the messiah. While that is certainly the case, has the birth date of Jesus been lost…

Summary Revelation 8 begins the vision of the first six trumpets. In Part 1 of our look at this chapter, we looked at features of the first six verses, such as the Lamb’s opening of the seventh and final seal on the scroll from Revelation, the accompanying silence in heaven 5, and the seven angels in…

John 18:38 (ESV) Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. This morning we are going to talk about worldviews.

Encounters with Jesus Will You Leave Everything and Follow Jesus? Mark 10:17–27 (ESV) 17 And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good…

God’s Law - God’s Council I’ll admit, it’s a little hard to get excited about the Law of God. How many of us would echo Paul’s sentiment, that he delighted in the Law of God in his heard? Or how many of us think of the law the way David did? The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony…

Intro: Over recent years we have used the summer series to dive deeper into a topic than we can in the course of a sermon. For example, we spent a whole month on the study of FELLOWSHIP. We mention fellowship, and as we preach on it we have an expectation that you have a biblical understanding of what…

summary of Rev. 13 teaching Revelation 13 is known as the chapter about the Beast whose number is 666. However, the chapter actually describes two beasts. There are several Old Testament passages from which the descriptions of these beasts may derive. While people are familiar with the number 666, and…

Overview In the previous episode ( Rev 19 , Part 2) we looked at how John’s use of the Old Testament, especially Ezekiel 38-39 , more or less proves that Revelation 16-20 cannot be read as a linear sequence of events, but as a series of cycles that describe the same series of events leading to the return…

Psalm 14:1-7 The majority of Americans have a wrong view of human nature. A survey by Barna and the Cultural Research Center (CRC) of AZ Christian University in 2020 indicated that most Americans (7 of 10) believe mankind is “basically good” – and this percentage was the same even among those who identified…

Let’s Talk About the Church so we can understand a little more what it means to be “The Church of God”. There is no such thing as a church that has no set of beliefs, and that is true of us as a movement. We have called ourselves the Reformation Movement of the Church of God, which is a nominator that…

I want to start today by talking a bit about how we approach the Bible and the the subject of origins. I understand that this is a subject that strikes at the core of our understanding of what we think the Bible actually is to us as modern people who believe in the message and mission of Christ. But…

summary The prophet Ezekiel has telegraphed the doom of Jerusalem in a series of visual re-enactment signs, visions, and prophetic oracles. Chapters 12-13 continue with more sign acts, but shifts to God’s assessment of objections by the exiles as to the certainty of Jerusalem’s fate. God therefore directs…

summary These two chapters seems intrusive. The oracles against the nations ended in Ezekiel 32 , followed by the announcement of Jerusalem’s fall (ch. 33) and a transition to the future hope of Israel (ch. 34). Chapters 35-36 are an oracle against Edom (“Mount Seir”) followed by more restorative language…

Civilized cultures throughout history have maintained order by creating laws and then enforcing those laws through a court system. These systems of justice vary widely with varied results but with the same purpose: to discover the truth in any given matter. That assumes that a judge or jury will accept…

He is Risen This morning is Easter Sunday, the morning when we celebrate Jesus’ victorious resurrection from the dead. But it’s also the Lord’s Day the day when we each week celebrate Jesus’ victorious resurrection from the dead. While many pastors this morning will be focusing on Matthew 28 , Mark 16:1-8…

What You Believe Matters 2 JOHN 1–13 When Jesus was in the “upper room” with His disciples the night before His crucifixion, He made a number of profound and lasting statements. One concerned truth; another concerned love. John 14:6 reports that He said, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,…

THE TRIUNITY OF GOD Trinity is, of course, not a biblical word. Neither are triunity, trine, trinal, subsistence, nor essence. Yet we employ them, and often helpfully, in trying to express this doctrine that is so fraught with difficulties. Furthermore, this is a doctrine that is not explicit in the…
