The Time of My Departure is at Hand
The Time of My Departure is at Hand (2 Timothy 4:6-8) In this sermon we are going to be looking at some of the words that Paul uses in verse 6. This is a great verse and it is used many times at funerals. But I often wonder just how many of the people that […]
The Anointing Oil, Ex 29:7-9
You find anointing oil used for several purposes in the Bible. The oil typifies the Holy Spirit. By studying anointing, we can see what the Holy Spirit does in our lives when he anoints us. For instance, Jesus was anointed to preach [Is 61:1; Lk 4:18], and his body was anointed before his burial [Mk […]
Disobeying the Will of God, Jonah 1-4
God gave Jonah explicit instructions to “… go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me,” [Jon1:2]. Jonah disobeyed the will of God when he took a ship to go to Tarshish, instead. Consequently, Jonah’s life from there on gets rough, to say the least. Disobeying […]
Wholeheartedly, Ps 119:2
Wholeheartedly Ps 119:2 says, “Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart”. We should be wholehearted about some things. Wholehearted is completely and sincerely devoted, determined, and enthusiastic; free from all reserve or hesitation. Seek God wholeheartedly, Ps 119:2. Deut 4:29, Acts 17:27. The Lord wants us to […]
Tree of Life Metaphors, Rev 22:2
The tree of life will be here during the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. It will be on either side of the river that flows out of the throne of God [Rev 22:1-2]. Every month these trees will yield new fruit and the manner of the fruit each month will be different. The fruit will […]
The Question is What not Why, Acts 9:6
Paul asked “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do,” [Acts 9:6]? That question is so much better than the question, “Why hast thou made me thus,” [Rom 9:20]? People get stuck wherever they run into trouble with God when they ask the question “why.” It’s a question, as we discussed in the broadcast titled, […]
The Land Is Defiled, Lev 18:25-28
We find several references in the Bible to the land being defiled by the sins of men in the land. The first of these references is found in Lev 18:25-28 which says that the land is defiled by the following sins: According to Num 35:30-34 the land is defiled also by: The Lord gave Israel […]
Rivers Shall Flow, Jn 7:37-39
Rivers Shall Flow Jn 7:37-39 describe what the Holy Spirit does in Christians when we believe on Jesus Christ. Jn 7:38 says, “… out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water”. If the Holy Spirit is not in you, then you are not a Christian. And that’s why no rivers of living water […]
What The Disciples Lacked, Lk 9:37-56
What the disciples lacked Jesus had just come down from the mount of Transfiguration with Peter, John, and James. Awaiting him were a multitude of people. One man among them cried out to Jesus to cast the devil out of his son. The surprising thing is that he had brought him to the disciples and […]
Wandering Out Of The Way, Prov 21:16
Prov 21:16 says, “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” This is one of the most ignored verses in the Bible. It speaks of a specific right way (the way of understanding) in which God’s people are supposed to walk. It speaks of an […]
