These things have I spoken, that ye might have Peace

These things have I spoken, that ye might have Peace John 16:33 Peace is one of the most sought after things in all the world but is also probably the hardest thing to find. A good example of this is found for us in Paul’s description of the lost world (Romans 3:9-18). Note in verse […]

Bitterness – Bro. Joshua

Bitterness   Ephesians 4:29-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malica: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Noah’s Walk, Work and Word, Gen 6:9

Noah walked with God, worked for God, and spoke the word of God.  Likewise, we are to walk with the Lord, work for the Lord, and speak the word of the Lord in this world.  That is what the Lord wants us to do.  That’s what Noah did.  The Lord said that the time of […]

Dissimulation, Jos 7:11

Dissimulation is hypocrisy.  It comes from simulation.  When you are in a flight simulator it looks and feels like you’re in a real jet but you aren’t.  It’s fake.  Likewise, when you live your life in dissimulation you are pretending to be something you aren’t.  Notice the following: Dissimulation of a transgressor – Jos 7:11 […]

The Blessing of Seeking The Lord with the Whole Heart

Psalm 119:2 “Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart”. Introduction: Many times, in the Bible, we see God’s blessing connected to a condition.

They Killed Each Other, 1 Sam 14:16

When Jonathan and his armor bearer attacked a garrison of the Philistines, they killed about 20 men [1 Sam 14:14].  But after that, a great multitude died when they killed each other.  In battle, there are times when the fear is so high, the retreat so confused and the battle so disorganized, that many men […]

All The Day, Ps 71:8, 15

Three times in Psalm 71, David used the phrase “all the day.”  In Ps 71:8 he wrote, “Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.”  In Ps 71:15 he wrote, “My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the […]

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.  They are fearful that if they don’t baptize their own babies, somehow, their children won’t end up in heaven if they die young.  This just isn’t […]

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 […]
