A Vessel Unto Honour, 2 Tim 2:20-21
The Lord wants us each to be a vessel unto honour. A vessel unto honour is a: Separated Vessel – “purge himself from these.” He is to purge himself from profane and vain babblings [2 Tim 2:16] , false teachers and preachers [2 Tim 2:17], iniquity [2 Tim 2:19], and vessels of dishonor [2 Tim […]
We Cry Abba Father, Rom 8:14-16
When we were saved, God became our Father. We cry Abba Father. We are born as children of God. And as his children, God has desires for us, just like earthy fathers have desires for their children. Our Father desires fellowship – 1 Jn 1:3-7 – our Father loves to spend time with his children […]
People Who Please God, 1 Thes 4:1
In 1 Thes 4:1 Paul says, “… that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.” This lesson is about pleasing God. If we are to please God and abound more and more, then we have to know who pleases him. […]
The Devil is a Unifier, Is 10:13
In Is 10:13 we read that the devil has “removed the bounds of the people.” You might remember from our prior broadcast that the Lord is the one who set the bounds, in order to keep the nations separate [Deut 32:8; Acts 17:26]. So, the devil is a unifier, whereas God is a divider. The […]
God is a Divider, Gen 1:4
In Gen 1:4 you begin to see immediately that God is a divider. Look at Gen 1:6, 14, 18, as well. I have heard many people talking about getting everybody “together.” One fellow tells me from time to time that we could get so much more done for the Lord if we could just get […]

Draw Near to God, Ps 73:22-28

I Cannot Away With, Is 1:13
In Isaiah 1:13, we read an expression that is not so common today. The Lord said, regarding Judah’s oblations, incense, new moons and Sabbaths, “I cannot away with.” At first, the expression on its own doesn’t seem to make much sense. Of course, when you read the expression in its context, you can make out […]
A True Child of God, Matt 12:50
When we receive Jesus Christ, Jn 1:12 says that he gives us power to become the sons of God. Until recently, I haven’t considered what he meant by “power to become” sons of God. After all, when you get saved, you are a child of God. So, why would he say that he gives us […]
