O King, Live Forever – Daniel 2:4

Jan 10, 2010 | Daniel

 I have been asked many times: “How do you determine what to preach?” Actually, there are several things involved, depending especially on the type of study that we’re in. When we aren’t in the midst of the study of a book, as we are now, then...

Unbelievers’ Faith – Daniel 2:1-13

Jan 10, 2010 | Daniel

 Someone asked me the other day, what sort of background reading I do in preparation for these messages. I tried to tell him that I start with the scriptures, but then I have half a dozen books available to me. I also have two sets of sermon outlines that I sometimes...

Why did Daniel Refuse the King’s Wine? – Daniel 1:5-8

Jan 3, 2010 | Daniel

 I return to a theme which I addressed just six months ago. I return because, not only is it a huge national sin, and a potential problem for any child of God, but once again it is also a very appropriate subject for this time of year. If there is ever a season of the...

And God Brought…. – Daniel 1:1-21

Jan 3, 2010 | Daniel

 The first Sunday of the New Year has often lead pastors into special subjects. For example, in the past I have preached on New Year’s resolutions – pro and con. And I have used the New Year to preach on the New Birth. There have been occasions when I...

Daniel’s Steps toward Protection – Daniel 1:1-21

Dec 27, 2009 | Daniel

 This evening I’ll try to finish my thoughts from this morning. Daniel was abducted from his home and shipped to Babylon – along with several other young people. He was thrust into a world which was completely foreign to his own. You may think that...

Allegory: Christians in a Wicked World – Daniel 1:1-21

Dec 27, 2009 | Daniel

 Like many of my messages, this sermon has three points. But I only intend to give you two of them this morning, saving the last for tonight. I suppose that I could have a single title for both segments, but we have another for this evening – “Daniels...

Superstition – Daniel 1:1-3

Dec 20, 2009 | Daniel

 We are beginning, this morning, a study of the Book of Daniel, which I hope will appeal to all of us. This is a very special kind of book. It is filled with important eschatology – declarations about the work and the coming of the Messiah. But while it looks...

Setting the Stage – Daniel 1:1-2

Dec 19, 2009 | Daniel

 There are a number of ways to introduce a study such as we are commencing today. I have only five commentaries dedicated to the Book of Daniel, and they begin in different ways. One way is to simply start examining the very first verses . Another way is to declare...

The Origination of Evangelism – John 3:16

Dec 25, 2007 | Evangelism

Very rarely today is the study or work of evangelism kept within a Biblical perspective. By that I mean that most of the books that I have on the subject talk primarily about two things: Most stress the work of the evangelist. That evangelist must have X number of...

God’s Love and Biblical Evangelism – John 3:16

Dec 25, 2007 | Evangelism

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” This verse has often been called such things as “the heart of the gospel.” Is this verse a...
