AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS SERMON In Ps 32:8 there are three things that we must look to the Lord to do for us. We must look to the Lord to: Instruct us – “I will instruct thee.” To instruct is to direct or command. From the beginning of our salvation, the Lord instructs us. It […]
What You Can Do For Missions, 2 Cor 1:8-11
If you aren’t called to the mission field, you can still do much to help missionaries who are called. I often remark that I disdain comments from missionaries like “stay by the stuff,” 1 Sam 30:24, and “hold the rope,” Acts 9:25. We’re not sitting around in our churches with nothing to do but look […]

Giving to Missions, 2 Cor 9:6
Giving to missions is based on God’s promise in 2 Cor 9:6, “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” You sow sparingly and you will reap sparingly.

In Lk 16:1-12 we read about the unjust steward. He had wasted his master’s goods. So, his master told him to give an account of his stewardship because he was going to be put out of his stewardship. He was in a quandary. He couldn’t or wouldn’t do manual labor and he was too proud […]
Stensaas – Knowing the Time, Rom 13:11
In Rom 13:11, Paul wrote, “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Jesus’s return is closer now than ever before. Knowing the time, now is not the time to be so overly concerned with our health […]
A Christ-like Mind, Phil 2:5-8
In Phil 2:5 Paul said, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” In Phil 2:5-8, we see what “this mind” is. A Christ-like mind is: A humble mind – Phil 2:7-8 – “made himself of no reputation… he humbled himself.” This is not a reference to Jesus humbling himself by […]
