Grace Changes Lives, 1 Cor 15:9-10
Grace changes lives. But what is grace? Grace is a gift from God. Some have said it’s God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. It’s a provision from God to meet a need in your life that you could not possibly meet without his grace. When you are in need or when you are weak, God’s grace […]
She Hath Done What She Could, Mk 14:3-9
In Mk 14:3-9, Mary anointed Jesus with ointment of spikenard. Jesus said about her that “She hath done what she could”. This text gives us great instruction on how to do what we can for the Lord. What she did was very valuable, v.3. This ointment was something she had in her possession. Thus, this […]
Your Motives, Deut 10:12-13
In Deut 10:12-13, the Lord gave Israel five things that he required of them. They were to fear the Lord, walk with the Lord, love the Lord, serve the Lord, and obey the Lord. These are what I call the five necessary things in your life today. You should fear, walk with, love, serve, and […]
God Makes Crooked Things Straight
In Ecc 1:15, Solomon wrote, “That which is crooked cannot be made straight”. Of course, he was talking about things “under the sun”. Nothing can make crooked things straight. For example, rivers seen from the air meander and wind all over the place. Mesquite limbs are always crooked and cannot be straightened. Our problem is […]
Seducers Shall Wax Worse, 2 Tim 3:13
Just as Moses had to contend with Jannes and Jambres in Egypt, so we have to contend with seducers in these last days. To seduce is to persuade into disobedience or to entice astray in action or belief. Seducers are the people who persuade you to disobey and entice you to go astray from what […]
As His Manner Was, Acts 17:1-4
In Acts 17:1-4, we see what Paul’s manner was when he preached the gospel in a new city. If we can glean from Paul’s manner, we can learn some things about dealing with others. Go To Them “Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them”. He didn’t expect them to come to him. He […]
Creator, Ecc 12:1
Five times the word “Creator” appears in your Bible. In the context of each reference we learn why it is important to remember that God created us. Ecc 12:1, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth”. According to the context of this verse, Ecc 11:9-10; 12:13-14, young people should remember that their […]
Get Alone With God, Is 5:8
In Is 5:8, we read, “Woe to them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth”. You need to get alone with God. In Henry and the Great Society, by Herbert L. Rousch, Henry’s family disintegrated […]
Thou Art With Me, Ps 23:4
Ps 23:4 says, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”. Ever since the devil fell, death has loomed over God’s creation. Death entered into the world when Adam sinned, Rom 5:12. And […]
Handfuls of Purpose
Handfuls of Purpose Ruth 2:16 The book of Ruth is full of wonderful typology that makes excellent preaching even for us today. In this sermon we will look at handfuls of purpose left by the Boaz’s men for Ruth and try to glean somethings regarding the handfuls of purpose that God leaves for us in […]
