If you have a computer, and if you use email, then from time to time you get spam advertisements. I got one of those, trying to entice me to buy someone’s specialty mats to put at our front door. Their gimmick was in the interesting logo’s printed on them. The...

As we wind down our series of messages on practical faith, it might have occurred to you that perhaps the most practical and the most important aspect of the subject is our salvation from sin. Certainly nothing is more practical than life and death. Nothing is more...

I’ve given this message the title: “Katapult to God’s Blessings,” spelling the word catapult with a “k” not a “c.” I want to give you that up front, to create a little curiosity. But you will have to wait for my explanation. I hope that you are yearning for God’s...

One Wednesday, more than two thousand years ago, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was crucified. In His death, the work of our salvation was accomplish – completely finished. The blood of the Lamb had been shed for the redemption of many. There was nothing left...

This message is a cousin to the one we shared last Sunday morning. Last week I tried to address “the Servant of Jehovah,” the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus was a servant by coming to do the will of God. He died on the cross to bear the sins of many. I introduced...

In the early eighteenth century two young men felt called by God to share the gospel with the slaves on the islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix in the Carribean. Johann Dober and David Nitschmann, applied to the Dutch West Indies Company for permission to settle in...

Our title this morning is – “Jesus’ Friend, Judas” – taking, as our text, Christ’s words in verse 50 – “Friend, wherefore are thou come?” You might think, somewhat incorrectly, that this is more about Judas than the Lord Jesus. Let me assure you that this is about our...

People who attend our church only on Sunday mornings may grow tired of what they hear week after week. At this hour each Lord’s Day, I endeavor to share a message relating to Christ and the Gospel. I try to make each sermon a little different, but there are only a...

The title of this message is: “Addicted, but not Ashamed.” The word “addicted” is found once in our King James Bibles in I Corinthians 16:15. Speaking of a particular church family, Paul says, “ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and...

What would you think if I walked up to you and said, “I’m mad?” Would you automatically think that I was angry, or would you picture something else? Would your opinion change if I said, “I am really, really mad?” Would you ask yourself: “Oh, no, what have I done?”...

I would like to highlight the word “vindication” today. The title of this message is “Vindication of the Gospel.” Let’s pretend that in the course of this message, I tell you that I am the reincarnation of the prophet Elisha. I am the Elisha of the Old Testament...

This evening in our on-going study of practical faith, we are going to look at Judges 6 and Gideon’s fleece. It should be a lesson about the clash between faith and unbelief, with the winner being a very weak faith. Gideon was unsure about the will of the Lord,...

Joshua chapter 2 is one of the most captivating passages in all the Word of God. It appeals to the imagination, to the heart, and to the faith of the child of God. It appeals to Christians; to Hollywood script writers; to children; to virtually everyone. It’s my...

Something of which we need to remind ourselves is that the Bible is permeated with historical facts. The events of which we read in the Old Testament actually occurred. They are not religious fables. Yes, we read of miracles and many other things hard to believe or...

When I was a kid, we didn’t have a television, but radios had been around for a few years, and we had one of those. My mother let it play throughout the day to give her some company while my dad was at work. There were days when she would be happy, and she’d sing...
