Comforting the Grieving, Job 2:11-13
What can you do to comfort the grieving? Just sit with them – Job 2:11-13 – Job’s friends did more by just sitting down with him quietly than they did by trying to talk him through his situation. It’s hard to know what you should or should not say; you can’t explain why what their […]
Your Life is a Vapor, Jas 4:13-17
In Jas 4:26, James wrote, “For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” From Jas 4:13-17, we should glean some important truths from this thought provoking question and the comments James gives in reply. We see from this passage that: Life is uncertain […]
Some are Fallen Asleep, 1 Cor 15:6
In 1 Cor 15:6 most of the over five hundred brethren who saw Jesus after his resurrection were still alive when Paul wrote 1 Corinthians. However, Paul said, “some are fallen asleep.” Our dear brother, Benny Craft, fell asleep yesterday. His race is over – Heb 12:1 – we each have our race to […]
Benefits of Following the Word, Ps 119:168
Last Wednesday night we saw from Ps 148, that everything in the universe is governed by the words of God. Likewise, you should allow the words of God to govern all areas of your life. All of your paths, your convictions, your responsibilities, your privileges, your instructions, and your duties for your life are found […]
Put on the New, Eph 4:21-24
In Eph 4:22-24, we find one of the best passages on how to live the Christian life. Before we were saved, we did everything “according to the deceitful lusts,” [Eph 4:22] of the old man. After we get saved, we are suddenly supposed to do things differently. And that can be very frustrating. Growing […]
Fulfilling His Word, Ps 148:1-14
Ps 148:5 says, “for he commanded, and they were created,” speaking of the angels, hosts, sun, moon, stars, heavens, etc. In Ps 148:6, we read, “he hath made a decree which shall not pass.” And then in Ps 148:8, he writes of things like “fire, and hail; snow, and vapor; stormy wind fulfilling his word.” […]
Three Examinations, Ps 26:2
You are going to be subjected to three kinds of examination in your life: providential examination, personal examination, and peer examination. We’ll discuss each of these in this sermon. Providential Examination – Ps 26:2 – David said, “Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.” David wanted God to check […]
Teaching Timothy, 2 Tim 3:10
Christians, young in the Lord, often learn from more mature Christians. So, mature Christians must be like Paul if they are going to teach a young man like Timothy. “Timothy” is going to check you out to be sure you are worth following. In 2 Tim 3:10, Paul wrote, “”But thou hast fully known my […]
When Your Spirit is Overwhelmed, Ps 142:1-7
In Ps 142:3, David wrote, “my spirit was overwhelmed within me.” In Ps 142:6, he said, “I am brought very low.” A fair number of good people whom I know are overwhelmed right now. There seems to be an oppressive spirit attempting to discourage and defeat good men and women. Here’s what to do when […]
The Prince of the Power of the Air
Prince of the Power of the Air (Ephesians 2:1-10) In this sermon we are going to be looking at Satan as the prince and the power of the air. The purpose of this sermon is to use a radio and radio waves as an example to show the power of the air and how Satan […]
