Our Heavenly Father, Rom 8:14-16

On Father’s Day, why not celebrate our heavenly Father and thank him for his goodness.  These four things we preach about him are for his children.  If you haven’t yet received Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are not his child and he is not your Father.  However, if you call upon Jesus, he’ll save […]

Lying Vanities, Jon 2:8

The theme of VBS this year is God’s Mercy.  And the Bible story is from the book of Jonah.  Right before Jonah was delivered to Nineveh by ‘whale mail’, he said, “They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy”, Jon 2:8.  Lying vanities found in Jonah are: That you can hide from God – […]

God’s Will for Children, Lk 1:13-17

This sermon is about God’s will for children.  You should try to know from early childhood what you’re going to do, what your calling is.  And then direct all of your effort and attention toward this.  Dave Walker, MD, a South African anesthesiologist, knew by the time he was 7 that he wanted to be […]

The Ten Commandments, Gal 3:21

Gal 3:21 says, “if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law”.  Rom 10:5 says, “the man which doeth those things shall live by them”. These verses seem to contradict.  How is it that the law can’t give life and yet a man can […]

Provide Things Honest, Rom 12:17

Rom 12:17 says, “Provide things honest in the sight of all men”.  Thankfully, we live in a country where we are still able to live a “quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty”.  We don’t have to hide or lie in order to survive.  As a result, we must provide things honest in […]

Fellowship With Jesus, 1 Cor 1:9

As Christians, we are called unto the fellowship of God’s Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, 1 Cor 1:9.  We are, therefore, to have fellowship with Jesus, 1 Jn 1:3.  But what does fellowship with Jesus entail? Fellowship with him, 1 Cor 1:9.  We enjoy fellowship with Jesus when we spend time in his words, time […]

Sin After Salvation, Rom 6:1

In Rom 6:1, Paul wrote, “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?” In Rom 6:2, he answered, “God forbid”.  John wrote in 1 Jn 2:1 “that ye sin not”. Though we will not be sinless till we are in our glorified bodies, what are to do with sin after salvation? What are we […]

Our Old Man is Crucified, Rom 6:5-13

Rom 6:6 says, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him…”.  One of the best ways to deal with those sins that keep coming up is to remember this.  Our old man is crucified with Jesus.   When you were saved, you became a new creature in Christ, old things are passed away […]

The Right View of Wrong Things, Gen 45:1-8

What Joseph’s brothers did to Joseph was wrong, without a doubt.  They envied him and would have killed him if Reuben had not intervened.  As it is he suffered slavery and prison when they in turn faked his death to convince his father that he was dead. Joseph suffered for 13 years (Gen 37:2; 41:46).  […]

There Is But A Step, 1 Sam 20:3

In 1 Sam 20:3, David told Jonathan, “there is but a step between me and death”.  Saul was relentless in his attempts to kill David.  And David knew that there was but a step between him and death as long as Saul was determined to kill him. David always had to take a step toward […]
