God Given Desires, Ps 37:4
Our text is Ps 37:4, “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Do you ever wonder how God calls individuals into the ministry? I know how he called me. My call started with a desire. Perhaps by studying a few passages in the Bible in which […]
Uncertain Riches, 1 Tim 6:17-19
1 Tim 6:17 says, “nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God.” We are not to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God. Riches are deceiving; Matt 13:22 mentions the deceitfulness of riches. Riches, like sin and religion, deceive you into believing that you can trust them. According to Mk 10:23-24, […]
The Sword of the Spirit, Eph 6:17
The past few Wednesday evenings, we have been studying the whole armor of God found in Eph 6:10-18. We have already discussed the helmet of salvation, which protects your mind in spiritual warfare; the breastplate of righteousness, which protects your heart when you yield to the righteousness of Jesus Christ and do right; the girdle […]
The Word’s Free Course, 2 Thes 3:1
In 2 Thes 3:1, Paul requested prayer from the Thessalonians “that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you.” In this sense the word course is a moving or motion forward. So, the course of a river, for instance, is the the direction that the […]
The Word of a King, Ecc 8:4
In Ecc 8:4, the word of a king is authoritative and very powerful. In the reign of Ahasuerus, when Vashti refused to come at the king’s command, she was deposed from being queen and she was replaced by Esther. The decree was made throughout all 127 of his provinces that men must rule in their […]
Shield of Faith, Eph 6:16

Tonight, we are going to study the shield of faith, Eph 6:16. The shield of faith is defensive armor “wherewith ye shall be able […]
Girdle of Truth, Eph 6:14
We have been studying each piece of the whole armor of God from Eph 6:10-18. Thus far, we have studied the helmet of salvation, which gives us a saved, spiritual, sound, servant’s mind with which to fight in our spiritual warfare. Then we studied the breastplate of righteousness, which defends us against attacks by the […]
Be Lowly, Ps 138:6
We should be lowly. Lowly is having a low esteem of one’s own worth; humble; free from pride. Why you should be lowly: God has respect unto the lowly – Ps 138:6, “though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly.” This respect is a regard for; favor. In 2 Ki 3:14, […]
Rule or Be Ruled, Gen 4:7
Rule or be ruled. You and I have been commanded to rule certain people and things in our lives. If we don’t rule these people and things, they will rule us. God rules over everything. Ps 103:19, The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. And God put […]
Prayer is Your Voice of Faith
Prayer is Your Voice of Faith Luke 18:1-8 The Lord tries to encourage us “always to pray, and not to faint”. “Faint” means to decline or fail in strength, lose courage or spirit, to weaken. If I could encourage you to pray more, I know that it would change your life! We are all here […]
