Harvest Heaps in the Day of Grief – Isaiah 17:10-11

Feb 26, 2017 | Sunday Morning

This message came out of notes which I took listening to my pastor thirty-five or forty years ago. The title to Brother Johnson’s message was : “Harvest Heaps in the Day of Grief.” To understand this passage, it is important to know a bit about the history...

It was on this day in 1770 that John Picket began his three month incarceration in the Fauquier County, Virginia, jail. Because only the Church of England was lawfully permitted in Virginia, Brother Picket did most of his preaching in the open air. On one occasion...

Hope – I John 3:1-3

Feb 23, 2017 | Wednesday

Americans seem to love bumper stickers. My car doesn’t have one, but I do like to read them – I am a closet bumper-sticker reader. Have you ever pulled up at a red light, and the car in front of us had a tiny bumper sticker. Slowly you inch a bit closer and...

The Ark In Absence – I Samuel 4

Feb 20, 2017 | Sunday Evening

Thus far, to the best of my knowledge, we have looked at all the references dealing with the history of the Ark of the Covenant. We have not looked at every passage relating to the design and construction and the Ark. But we’ve noticed them all since the completion of...

Sunrise – Malachi 4:1-2

Feb 16, 2017 | Wednesday

Despite the fact that our streets are lined with piles of snow and the temperatures are often still below freezing, our days are getting longer. As I drive east at 6:00 am, I see more sunlight each morning, and soon the sun will be in my eyes again. Spring is on its...

A Foretaste of Jesus’ Coming – John 11

Feb 12, 2017 | Sunday Morning

I have taught and preached from John 11 several times. Most of those messages have focused on the subject of either salvation by grace – or our resurrection. This morning I’m going to try to take it just a step beyond that. I want to allegorize the details and...
