Most of the people in our auditorium this afternoon are children of God; born again souls. We were dead in trespasses and sins, but the Lord, in His grace, resurrected us to eternal life. And for those who are not born again Christians, we yearn for your salvation,...

In the margin of my King James Bible, editors summarize this paragraph saying: “Sanctity of the Lord’s Supper.” But the words “Lord’s Supper” are not mentioned here in this scripture. It is not until we get to chapter 11, verse 20 that we read about “eating the Lord’s...

I am looking at this theme today because in the love of God we have one of the Lord’s superlatives. There is no more powerful love than God’s love. Nearly all love originates in God’s love. And those for whom the Lord has a special love, He cannot fail to bless for...

Rarely, but once in a while, I preach from an outline which is not original to me. I purposed years ago, to be honest with you and to tell you when I feel led of the Lord to share another man’s message or outline. This is one of those occasions. I was blessed earlier...

Acts 9 is the chapter which describes the salvation of Saul of Tarsus, before he became the Apostle Paul. As a former champion of the Jews and a leader in the persecution of God’s saints, his conversion to Christ radically changed the religious landscape in Israel. ...

Before considering our Lord’s words here in John 14, please turn to what He said Matthew 7. We are turning from the “Upper Room Discourse” to the “Sermon on Mount.” Look at verse 24 – “Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a...

On a scale of one to ten, how generally faithful are you? Be honest with yourself. Do you think your answer matches the Lord’s judgment of you? How faithful are you to your family – to your spouse and children – to your parents? Are you respectful? Obedient?...

I have no authority to say so, but I think that if we could have asked Paul, “How is your life going?” He would have said, “I have the best, most joyous, most purposeful life I could every have imagined.” Like all of us – like Daniel – like David – Paul’s life had its...

As I said last Sunday, nearly every important doctrine can be studied beginning with the Book of Genesis. It might be argued that there are exceptions. Which of these doctrines MIGHT not be found in Genesis? (Angelology, Theology, Hamartiology, Soteriology,...

I would like to begin a short study of the Biblical subject of “Faithfulness.” I know this isn’t as exciting as the Millennium or how the upcoming election or War in Gaza relate to the Tribulation. I know that a study of “faithfulness” isn’t like studying evangelism...

Let’s say that as I am getting into bed tonight, the Lord sends me a message. “To whom it may concern. This coming Friday night, I am going to blow out the flame and remove the candle stick of Post Falls’ Calvary Independent Baptist Church.” Being convinced this...

A few weeks ago, we had a message on the Mediatorship of the Saviour. I took as a primary illustration the historically based movie, “Bridge of Spies.” Something I didn’t share with you that day was a line which came up three or four times during the story. Tom Hanks’...

I don’t know if it is bad or good, but most of us don’t think much about our posture – especially our posture as it relates to others or to God. When I was a kid, a part of our Episcopal worship was using the kneeling cushions when we went to prayer. But then and here...

In a book called “Mountains in the Mist,” Frank Boreham made some interesting comments on this Psalm. He reminded his readers that this is one of the so-called “Penitential Psalms” – songs written by sinners with broken hearts over their transgressions and the shame...

Do you have a standard salutation you share with people just before you depart to go your separate ways? What do you say before you click “End call” on your phone or when you’ve finished preparing your email? If you are like me, you may have a regular form of...
