Our last Lord’s Day was so exciting that you might have forgotten the afternoon’s message. Its title was “Holyfication,” and its theme was “sanctification” – God’s process of making sinners holy. To refresh your memory, the saint’s holyfication began in eternity past...

A very famous sculptor has been commissioned to carve what will be the most magnificent piece in his career. His king would like him to create a life-size image of his only son, the prince, which is to be set in the palace on the day of his coronation. The sculptor...

In the will of God, Jesus was to have a special ministry among the gentiles on the east side of the Sea of Galilee, so He and His disciples entered into a little ship and started to glide across the lake. He was so exhausted that during the relaxing ride He fell...

I am going to piggyback these few thoughts onto last Wednesday’s lesson. The title of our last message was: “New Testament Teaching the Old Testament Way.” I tried to apply some of the Hebrew words which speak about teaching Bible truths. This afternoon, let’s think...

We have recently been reintroduced to Satan and to the part he played in the fall of man. That is extremely important theology, because it tells us how you and I became sinners. We are not sinners because we sin. We inherited sin from our first parents. I know that it...

This message doesn’t directly apply to some of you. In fact, I am preaching to myself as much as anyone else this afternoon. And this points out the fact that there has never been, and never will be, a perfect church on earth. Certainly, if the pastor of one of the...

In the light of our reexamination of God’s creation in Genesis, I thought this Psalm would an appropriate codicil. Perhaps there isn’t a distinct division, but generally speaking, in the first half of this Psalm we have a statement of David’s theology, and in the...

This episode in the life of the Lord Jesus took place very early in His ministry. This is John 2, not John 19. Chapter 1 records Jesus’ baptism by John, and then the gathering of some of the first disciples. Chapter 2 begins with the “beginning of miracles” which “did...

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?...
