Today we return to our exegetical study through the opening chapters of the book of Revelation. As a way or reminder, we are blessed, according to Chapter 1, when we read or hear the things written here. We are studying the very letters Christ wrote to His churches. He knew what was happening and what…

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full…

1 The Mighty One, God the Lord , speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church,…

Life is, in so many respects, a quest for security and certainty. We organize our lives to have a sense that we are in control and know what is going to happen. We find comfort in routine because of the sense of stability it provides. But the chaos and disorder of the world intrudes on our security.…

14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us…

Our Scripture lesson this morning is from 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 : Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to…

God’s Design For the Man From the Beginning The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the…

Intro Amos is one of the 12 minor prophets. He prophesied to Isreal and Judah around 760 to 750 B.C. He was not born of a prophet nor was he raised to be a prophet. He was a shepherd that God called and used as a prophet to proclaim the Word of the Lord. As we turn to the Scriptures (mention what you…

6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.…

Psalm 119:113-120 There are people all over this world that profess to be Christians but do not live like it. They have one foot in the church and one foot in the world. We have lost many young people because of this divided loyalty. Young people do not tolerate fakes, they can spot them a mile away!…

Morning 27 August 23

In These Last Days... Over the past few weeks I’ve had a little time to think about where we have been and where we are going. It’s been my practice over the past 28 years as I prepare for preaching to alternate between the Old and New Testaments - attempting to feed God’s people a well-rounded diet…

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto…

We come this morning to what I consider to be a cornerstone passage in Scripture... A passage worthy of memorization and worthy of regular meditation... So, if you would please… open up to Hebrews 4:14-16 . This passage concludes the argument started by the author back in chapter 3 v. 1… Heb 3.1 where…

5 Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus, 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: You must keep on having this disposition of mind among you (in you/in your midst), the one also in Christ…

Last week we saw a repentant and thankful Jonah calling out to God in the belly of a fish. He would have rather died than go preach to the Ninevites, sworn enemies of Israel. Not long before this story, Israel won a great battle against the Assyrian armies. Their borders were expanded and much prosperity…

2020 was tough. What can we expect from 2021? This morning I want to share with you some amazing promises from God’s word that I hope will encourage you because no matter what the new year brings, God is still in control, and His promises are still true. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope…

Fasting — The God infused life! How many of you are tea drinkers? Now, let me clarify my question: How many of you like to drink Hot Tea? For those of you who don’t, let me paint you a picture… I have hot water… (pour water into a cup) and I have a tea bag… What would happen if I just dip this tea bag…

Many common items have certain characteristic markings that identify them. For example, when I was growing up you could identify a Buick by looking for the decorative hood vents. Every Buick made in that era had them. Until just a few years ago Apple’s products - IPads, IPods, and IPhones all had that…
