All The Day, Ps 71:8, 15

Salvation of Babies
What happens to babies if they die before they are old enough to be saved? They go to heaven! Many people have grown up in churches that baptize babies.

Favor With God, Ps 5:12
This message beginning in Ps 5:12 is about finding Favor with God. It should be of great importance to us that we find favor with the Lord. Samuel found favor with the Lord, 1 Sam 2:26. He was the greatest judge that Israel ever had. Mary found favor with the Lord, Lk 1:28-20, and she […]
Evil Under The Sun, Ecc 6:1-2
In Ecc 6:1-2 Solomon discloses an evil under the sun. This is something that he observed that just didn’t seem right. We are going to study this one and some others he saw in Ecc 7:15, Ecc 8:14, and Ecc 9:2. When men see these things and consider them, they get mad at God. They […]

Wounds of a Friend, Prov 27:6
Prov 27:6 says, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” This verse shows us that in, at least, some of our relationships with true friends, we are going to be wounded. Or we may have to wound a friend. The wound may hurt them but it is […]
Women Rule Over Them, Is 3:12
Our text today is Is 3:12, which says, “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Over many years in the ministry, we have observed this verse in the homes of some […]
