Why Trust God? Ps 18:30

How To Win A Disobedient Husband, 1 Pet 3:1-6
In 1 Pet 3:1-6, Peter tells a wife how to win her disobedient husband. Disobedient husbands are “any who obey not the word,” [1 Pet 3:1].

In 2 Tim 2:24-26 we are studying the seemingly unusual phrase, “those that oppose themselves.” When you read that phrase, it sounds like they are against themselves. However, to oppose means several things. In 2 Tim 2:25, to oppose means to set against; to put in opposition with a view to countervail (to exert force […]
You’re a Treasure, Matt 13:44
Before we preach on the spiritual application in this verse, let’s examine its doctrinal interpretation. The treasure is Israel [Ex 19:5]. The field is the world [Matt 13:38]. The man is the Lord [Ezek 16:3-8]. The Lord hides after he finds the treasure [Deut 31:17; Ps 10:1]. Jesus sold all [Phil 2:6-8, 2 Cor 8:9]. […]
