At the Father’s Right Hand   –  Ephesians 1:15-23

Oct 1, 2023 | Sunday Morning

The words of this scripture can be made into a pretty good homiletical outline – but I won’t use it today.  Paul prayed for wisdom to understand the will of God in three areas:  The hope of our Heavenly calling – verse 18.  The riches of the glory of His inheritance...

Praying for Salvation

Sep 24, 2023 | Sunday Morning

Theologians argue with non-theological evangelists whether prayer is a part of the “formula” for salvation. The Bible says such things as: “For by grace are ye saved through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: it is the gift of God, not of works...

An Interrupted Exequy – Luke 7:11-17

Sep 17, 2023 | Sunday Morning

I read the story of a gospel minister whose sister lived with him and his family. The woman loved the Lord and would often go out in the evenings to listen to various people preach the Word. One night, when she came home, her brother asked, “Did you hear a good sermon...

A Strange Question – John 5:1-9

Aug 6, 2023 | Sunday Morning

The Gospel of John goes out of its way to show us the Lord Jesus in an especially brilliant light. It puts the eternal Son of God in the spotlight – particularly in the spotlight of His divine glory. I wouldn’t say that the other gospels don’t also do that, but they...

Moses’ Choice – Hebrews 11:24-26

Jul 30, 2023 | Sunday Morning

I was visiting with our camp speaker, and he asked me what I was considering for this morning’s message. I told him that I was thinking about “Moses’ Choice.” Out of blue he completely changed the trajectory of my thoughts. He asked, “Don’t you get nervous using some...

The Reason for it All  – Genesis 3

Jul 16, 2023 | Sunday Morning

Many of you ladies are wearing a diamond ring.   My wife has told me many times how much she loves the marquise diamond I gave her fifty-five years ago.  To me, a diamond is a diamond, but to many women, diamonds are important – and so are their various shapes and...

Nathaniel’s God – John 1:43-51

Jul 9, 2023 | Sunday Morning

I preached from this scripture twenty years ago, but my theme was entirely different at the time. That message was on Philip’s evangelism of his friend Nathaniel. This morning, I would like to only glance at those two men as we look into the face of our Lord Jesus. I...

Legal Immigration – I Corinthians 6:9-11

Jul 2, 2023 | Sunday Morning

There is no way of knowing the exact number, but it is estimated that half a million illegal immigrants successfully come into the United States every year. In addition to these, there are thousands of others who enter legally on visitor, student or work visas, but...

Pleading with God – Matthew 15:21-28

Jun 25, 2023 | Sunday Morning

After the Lord put this scripture on my heart, I became concerned that you might have heard a lesson on this Syrophoenician woman recently. I knew that Brother Fulton referred to her as part of a recent message dealing with the “Son of David.” But I was fearful that...

David’s Three Steps  –  Psalm 4:1-5

Jun 11, 2023 | Sunday Morning

In October, 1987, Walter Wyatt got into his Beechcraft airplane and took off from the Nassau airport.  Even though thieves had stolen his navigation equipment the night before, he felt confident that he could make the hour long flight to Miami, and there he would file...

The Heart of the Gospel – II Corinthians 5:18-21

Jun 4, 2023 | Sunday Morning

It is said that for several years, while the Roman Colosseum was under construction, that thousands of people throughout the city were starving. There was very little grain and other foods grown locally, and most of that went to the wealthy. For years Egypt had been...

Three Truths of the Cross

May 29, 2023 | Sunday Morning

I pay no direct attention to the world of rap singers or any of the modern music culture. But every once in a while one of them comes up on the news, either being killed or arrested for murder. And also periodically, in a movie I’m watching, an entertainer is one of...
