Dispelling Fear, Ps 56:11
In Ps 56:11, David said, “In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.” He didn’t say, “Though I am afraid what man can do unto me, I’m going to trust God.” Do you see? He’s not trusting God and fearing man at the same time. […]
We Cannot Tell, Mk 11:27-33
In Mk 11:27-28, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders questioned by what authority Jesus went into the temple and cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, Mk 11:15. Jesus answered them with a question about John the Baptist’s baptism, “was it from heaven, or of men?” At this […]
Therefore Will Not We Fear, Ps 46:1-11
In Ps 46:2-3, the Psalmist wrote, “Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” The Psalmist is describing events that will take place at […]
My Heart Shall Not Fear, Ps 27:1-3
In Ps 27:1-3 David asks, Whom shall I fear? Of whom shall I be afraid? The context of these questions is a fight. Notice the references to the wicked, mine enemies, my foes, an host, and war. We are in a fight. Paul told Timothy to fight the good fight of faith. Paul’s own testimony […]
What Jesus Did Through Death, Heb 2:14-15
Today we’re going to see a few things Jesus did through his death. What started me thinking about this subject was a conversation I had with Pastor Tim Haveman regarding a question about Moses’ death. I’m sure that he’s preaching on this subject of death today. And I’m looking forward to preaching on it, as […]
The People Were Distressed, 1 Sam 13:6
In 1 Sam 13, Saul was the king of Israel. He had reigned 2 years when Jonathan and the thousand men who were with him smote a garrison of the Philistines [1 Sam 13:2-3]. The Philistines retaliated by gathering themselves together to fight with Israel [1 Sam 13:5]. There were 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen […]
The Greaves of Prayer, Eph 6:18-19
We have been studying the armor of God on Wednesday nights. We have discussed the helmet of salvation, which protects us from carnality, fear and pride with a saved, spiritual, sound, servant mind. The breastplate of righteousness, which protects us through the righteousness of Jesus Christ when we stay right with God and do right. […]
Be Not Silent
Be Not Silent Ps. 30:11-12 According to Acts 1:8, we are to be witnesses of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is a responsibility of every Christian. If you are saved, then you have the Holy Spirit of God living in you. You should have the desire to share the Gospel or “good news”. So […]
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 […]
Be Subject To Your Master, 1 Pet 2:18-25
In 1 Pet 2:18-25, Peter exhorts servants to be subject to their masters regardless whether they are good and gentle or froward. The conduct of a master toward his servant described in this passage is much harsher than anything allowed in the United States today. For one thing, these are servants, not employees. For another […]
