The Devil’s Temptation, Gen 3:1-7 – Aug 2, 2026
Subtlety of the Devil’s Temptation In Gen 3, the devil showed up to destroy the beautiful earth and creatures that God had made. He appeared in the serpent. Before the fall, the serpent was a “beast of the field”, Gen 3:1, and it was the subtlest beast. It didn’t look like a snake until after […]
We Cry Abba Father, Rom 8:14-16
When we were saved, God became our Father. We cry Abba Father. We are born as children of God. And as his children, God has desires for us, just like earthy fathers have desires for their children. Our Father desires fellowship – 1 Jn 1:3-7 – our Father loves to spend time with his children […]
Dual Authority, Jn 12:48
What is Dual Authority? It is having two separate authorities upon which to base a belief. You see, concerning God’s words, Jesus never left any doubt about the question of authority. He affirmed that God’s words were the absolute and final authority for man’s life. For instance, he warned those that would not believe on […]
Whom Ye Know Not, Jn 1:26 – Jul 29, 2026
Whom Ye Know Not In Jn 1:26, John the Baptist said, “… there standeth one among you, whom ye know not”. He was referring to Jesus. Jesus was among them but they didn’t know who he was. Even when John announced him, and Jesus did all the miracles, they still didn’t know him. Many thought […]
Nothing Between, 2 Cor 6:14-18
There should be nothing between you and the Lord that negatively affects your relationship with him. But often we let things get between us and the Lord. Nothing between includes: Friends – 2 Cor 6:14-18; Prov 13:20 – if you have to disguise your relationship with Jesus to get along with your friends, they have […]
Deliver Us Only, Jud 10:6-16
When Israel finally had enough of the oppression from their enemies, they cried to God and said, Deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. Their desperate cry to the Lord to deliver them is so typical of sinners caught in sin. They’re not so interested in quitting their sin and returning to the Lord. […]
Affection, Col 3:1-3
In Col 3:1-3 Paul tells us to set our affection on things above, not on things on the earth. We know that we are supposed to set our affection on things above but we live in a world where so many things on the earth demand our attention. So, the question is how do we […]
Your Spiritual Workout, Phil 2:12-13 – Jul 26, 2026
Your Spiritual Workout Phil 2:12 says, “workout your own salvation…”. Phil 2:13 says, God… worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure”. You work out what God is working on the inside. You can liken this spiritual workout to working out with a trainer at the gym. What are some […]
One Flesh, Gen 2:24 – Jul 26, 2026
When you read Gen 2:24, “… they shall be one flesh”, it’s easy to surmise that God is referring to the physical relationship between a husband and wife. Indeed, the husband and wife are “joined” in a physical relationship. However, there is much more to the application of this verse than their physical union. Look […]
The Woman, Gen 2:21-24 – Jul 26, 2026
THE WOMAN – A TYPE OF THE CHURCH God caused Adam to sleep, removed one of his ribs, and God made the rib a woman. The whole process is a perfect picture of the bride of Christ (the church) coming forth from Christ’s own body to become his wife. Notice the similarities: Both Come From […]
