Let’s say you have been experiencing horrible pain behind your left eye, and now it seems to be in both. You finally relent and go to an ophthalmologist, where you receive a thorough examination. When finished, he tells you that you have a rare form of cancer. If you...

We are surrounded by all kinds of news. For example, there is a great deal of seriously bad news – news about bad things. I heard an article on the BBC World News about China’s persecution of some of her own people. Thousands of Chinese citizens are being jailed,...

Peter’s reference to “being born again” is quite different from Jesus’ exhortation: “Ye MUST be born again.” Nicodemus, the man to whom the Saviour was speaking, needed to be regenerated; made spiritually alive. But the readers of Peter’s epistle are people who had...

Do you believe in God? Do you really believe in God? I can ask that question in the context of a sermon, because no one has to take it personally. There are a lot of pitchfork Christians in churches. When the preacher lays something objectionable at their feet, they...

In keeping with my Canadian blood, I feel like I owe you an apology, but as a Christian evangelist, I feel otherwise. I want to return to the subject of redemption this morning. Last week, in two messages, we looked at redemption through the “precious blood of Christ,...

The Apostle Paul referred to a man he knew fourteen years earlier who had been caught up into Paradise where he heard “UNSPEAKABLE words, which it is not LAWFUL for a man to utter” here on earth. It was God who refused to permit discussion of what that man saw in...

Some of you have heard me say that when I was eight-years-old, my family moved from Calgary, Alberta to Omaha, Nebraska. For a boy that age, it was a life changing event. As he was making his plans, my father, asked us whether we’d like to fly or take the train. I...

The Lord Jesus gathered His disciples around Him and gave them some instructions about their ministry. He said, “What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body,...

You can grow up in the same house, eat the same food and sleep in the same room… You can share the same baseball glove, and wear each other’s hand-me-downs… You can read the same books, listen to the same music and attend the same church… You...

If you were asked to rank the importance of salvation in your life, what rank would you give it? If you understand the depths of your sinfulness, and if you understand the heights of God’s righteousness, then you’d need to give salvation a rank of 10 out of 10. And if...

Jalen was born into an athletic family. His mother played soccer in high school, and his father was a college basketball player. When Jalen was just a youngster he began playing ball with his friends on the street in front of his house. By the time he was in high...

In the course of His conversation with Nicodemus in John 3, the Lord Jesus used a relatively rare word. Even more rare than the Greek word itself is the way it is translated in that passage. “For God so loved the world that he gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN Son, that...

I intend, this evening, to come back to these verses and preach them under title: “The Progression of Election.” But in an attempt to be more evangelical this morning, let’s consider the last two points of that upcoming message: “obedience” and “the sprinkling of the...

A study of the Book of Hebrews is as intricate a study as Astrophysics. Astrophysics is the branch of science that deals with the physics of stellar phenomena. It is the study of things so mysterious and so far away there are new discoveries almost every day. But much...

On Israel’s greatest Pentecost, Peter and the others stood before a large crowd in the court yard of the temple. When some smart alecks accused the brethren of being full of new wine, Peter replied, “These are not drunken as ye suppose…. But this is that which...
