Apostolic Evangelism – Acts 3:1-16

  We can’t be sure where exactly the healing of this lame man took place. Jerusalem, yes; the temple, yes. But I have seen dozens of depictions of the temple in Jerusalem, and they are all a little different. Nowhere else in the Bible are we told about the...

The God of Wrath and Glory – Psalm 145:1

  This message was ignited by an article in the “Institution of Creation Research” magazine “Acts and Facts.” It was written by Brian Thomas, who has a PhD in paleobiochemistry from the University of Liverpool. That article was entitled...

There are no less than seven men with the last name of Wightman listed in Cathcart’s Encyclopedia. As I made a quick survey, I wasn’t surprised to see that they were all related – sons, grandsons, great-grandsons. When a family is so closely linked together in the...

Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 23:10-11

  I can’t tell you if Solomon or the Holy Spirit intended these verses to be considered a paragraph. But that is what I’d like to do. At least for our purpose tonight, I think they all talk about the same general subject. For the purpose of an introduction I take you...

The Mission in Crete – Titus 1:4-5

  I’d like to talk to you about the Lord’s work in Loveland, Colorado. Almost from the beginning, I have thought of that work as a mission of our church. But it is not something which our church has determined to do; it has just been my perception so far. I think that...
