The Goodness of God – Nahum 1:1-7

Picture with me a little Jewish boy, named Caleb, growing up in ancient Israel, but without a father, grandfather or any uncles. Every male influence in his life has died in war. Caleb has been crushed by his loss, and he is angry with God. The boy’s mother does the...

The Most Important Occupation of All – Mark 4:3-9; 14-20

For some of you, at some point this morning, I am going to offend you. Believe it or not – that is a part of my commission. I have been tasked to remind you that you are not good enough for God. YOU are not good enough for heaven. You are a sinner in desperate need of...

An Ordinary and Typical Example – Philemon

Last week we looked at an extreme, but typical, example of the DEPRAVITY of man. I tried to use Judas Iscariot to show the depths and length to which sin has corrupted the children of Adam. That man, who facilitated the crucifixion of Christ, was a...

An Extreme, yet Typical, Example – John 13:1-4; 18-30

Judas Iscariot is, without a doubt, one of the most hated men in the Bible. After all, he was one of humanity’s most blessed men – he was one of Christ Jesus’ closest disciples. The first time Judas’ name is mentioned, it is in the list of disciples found in Matthew...

What Manner of Love – I John 3:1-2

That Seamless Robe – John 19:13-24

Pharaoh’s Phoolishness – Exodus 5:1-4

Both secular and Bible history tell us that the first Israelites spent time in an Egyptian prison. Their exodus or departure from Egypt – took place about 3,500 years ago. Even though hieroglyphics recount some of the material we have in the Bible – that event, so...

Setting the Stage – John 2:1-11

As gold is to fools gold, so is the Bible to all other books. While many books are helpful for one reason or another, only one is of infinite value – the revelation of God. A knowledge of the Bible means an acquaintance with the God of eternity. Having said that, we...

The LORD is Lord – Isaiah 43:8-13

“It is time.” The little boy is told by his mother that it is time for his bath. The little fella is not excited too about it, but he agrees to stop what he’s doing and head for the bathroom. The woman who is his servant – his mother – knows exactly what temperature...

Look and Live – Isaiah 45:20-26

As Brother Fulton reminded us last week, Christ and His Gospel can be found throughout the Old Testament. There are over three hundred prophecies Old Testament of Christ, some of which preceded their fulfilment by a 1000 years. And even the passages which aren’t as...
