Oct 12, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening
We all have criteria which we use to measure other professing Christians. Some of these are clearly scriptural, while others are based on conclusions which we only think come from the Bible. I am obviously more spiritual than you because I am wearing a tie this...
Oct 11, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Morning
As you have been previously advised, I’m taking my text from a scripture other than Matthew. John is the only evangelist to deal with this aspect of the crucifixion. For this very reason some Bible-deniers say that this never occurred. Since Matthew and Mark don’t...
Oct 5, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening
Our subject for this evening involves what particular day of the week Jesus died. In the back of my mind, I picture myself teaching or preaching a message on this subject, but I couldn’t find that message or any record that I’ve ever taught it. Perhaps it was a part...
Oct 4, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Morning
We come to another of the great mysteries which surround the sacrifice of our Saviour. Unlike some of the other enigmas found in this chapter, the mystery doesn’t lay in the details. We aren’t the least surprised to read that graves were opened by the earthquake and...
Sep 28, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening
I have very eclectic reading habits. For the past several weeks now I have been re-reading Baptist history books. But I admit that I enjoy reading various kinds of mystery books. My last one involved the theft and forgery of some very valuable postage stamps. One of...
Sep 27, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Morning
There seem to be a lot of Christians who know the mind of God much better than I do. That is perfectly fine as far as I am concerned, because I am delighted with what I do know. And if it is true on their part – they do know the Lord well – then I’m sure it is very...
Sep 20, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening
This afternoon I would like us to step back a few minutes during the events of the crucifixion. And let’s leave Matthew in the process. There is an invaluable lesson in these few words. Not only do we learn a little more about the Lord Jesus, but we have an example...
Sep 20, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Morning
Several years ago, I shared this illustration, but it is so appropriate to this message, I’ve decided to use it again. For some time, a man named Juanito Piring, imagined himself in the spot light, with 20,000 eyes watching him. Eventually all the details were worked...
Sep 14, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening
Computers are marvelous instruments. I bought my first computer while visiting here on a visit from Calgary in 1987, and I haven’t looked back. I’m not sure anymore that I could prepare four messages a week, if it was not for my computer. And I know that I couldn’t...
Sep 13, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Morning
Have you ever wondered why there were 3 crosses on Golgatha that Spring morning so many years ago? We are aware that the Jewish priests hated and feared Christ Jesus, demanding His crucifixion. But do we hear them demanding that Jesus die that very day? Not that I...
Sep 7, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening
Our message tonight is theological. Let’s go through the back door to consider the omnipotence, omniscience and sovereignty of God. Of course by “omnipotence” I refer to the fact that the power of God knows no limitations whatsoever. As Jesus reminded the...
Aug 31, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening
Twenty years ago – in 1995 – I preached a two part message entitled, “If I was the Devil.” I didn’t pull them up to check, but if I remember those sermons, I suggested things that I would do if I was in charge of a God-hating world. And it just so happens...
Aug 30, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Morning
Not only do I feel inadequate for our subject this morning, I know full-well that I am. I am a child of God because of the grace of God and what took place in the verses we have just read. But there are mysteries here which I doubt that I will ever fully comprehend....
Aug 24, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening
I have decided to cancel this evening’s sermon – but you aren’t invited to leave just yet. I don’t know how to describe this message, but it is not a sermon. It might be a lecture, a lesson, an address or merely just rambling, but it is not a sermon. I thought that...
Aug 23, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Morning
When I first set out on this study through Matthew, I told myself I would stick to that man’s outline. I didn’t want to make this a study of the life and ministry of Christ, but rather a study of Matthew. There are several events recounted by Mark and Luke which we...
