A Gauge of Your Faith
A Gauge of Your Faith Mark 6:1-6 ; Luke 7:1-10 In these two passages we find the only two places in the King James Bible where Jesus is said to Marvel at something. In Mark he marvels at their lack of faith and in Luke he marvels at the great faith of the centurion. The […]

Church is the right place to be if you are here for the right reasons. People should come to church for one of three reasons. And if you are here for one of these three reasons, then church is the right place for you. Church is: The right place to get right – 1 Cor […]
The Snare of Fearing Man, Prov 29:25
This morning we preached on the fear of God. Tonight we must consider how the fear of man limits the fear of God in your life and how it bringeth a snare. A snare is anything by which you are entangled and brought into trouble. When you fear man, before you take any action, you […]
The Fear of God is the Beginning, Ps 111:10
We have studied the fear of the Lord numerous times, and yet there is always more to learn. Today, we are going to see the the fear of the Lord is the “beginning.” From there we gain understanding if we follow what wisdom tells us to do. Ps 111:10 The fear of the Lord is […]
Nothing Between Besides Jesus, 1 Tim 2:5
1 Tim 2:5 says, “There is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus.” The only person or thing that should be between you and God, then, is Jesus Christ. Nothing else should be between you. However, oftentimes we let other things get between us. Sins come between us […]
They Angered Him, Ps 106:32-33
In Ps 106:32-33 we read that “They angered him.” This is a reference to Num 20:1-13 where Israel chided with Moses because they had no water to drink. They provoked his spirit – Ps 106:33. To provoke is defined to arouse or to incite to anger. Up till now, they had chided with Moses […]
Get Rid of the Thorns, Gen 3:18
When God made the earth and everything in it, there weren’t any thorns. But after sin entered the world through Adam’s disobedience, then there were thorns. And from then till now we have had to deal with thorns. Nobody that walks through or works in the fields wants thorns. They are bad. You try to […]
Scripture is Profitable, 2 Tim 3:16-17
In 2 Tim 3:16-17, Paul said, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” We are going to look further at the words in bold in these verses […]
The State of the Union, Eph 5:23-27
When Jesus ascended into heaven the Holy Spirit came to baptize believers into the body of Christ. As Eve was in Adam’s body before she became his bride, so the church is in Christ’s body until we are brought forth to be his bride. Thus, they are called the first man Adam and the last […]
Live By Them, Rom 10:5
In Rom 10:5, Paul describes the righteousness of the law by saying, “The man which doeth those things shall live by them.” Doctrinally, “live by them” means staying alive by doing the words of the law [Deut 6:24]. Spiritually, though, we are to “live by them” as our way of life. Jesus said, “Man […]
