And some have wondered if David feels unable, incapable, hypocritical, ashamed? “Why reach for this speck in my son Amnon’s eye, when I have the board in mine?” To use a saying of Jesus that would come many years later after David. But I want to tell you, that’s not righteousness on David’s part. That’s not good, valid, or correct on his part!

I’m more than 70% convinced that perhaps the original readers, and maybe those more closely familiar with the original languages and cultures and customs, probably had little to no questions about the text that I do. Don't hear me wrong, I ran into the questions of interpretation I'm about to pose in my studies… I suppose for me, the ambiguity of the text and the questions I'm about to pose spirit...

2 Samuel 12... the after-stuff. The judgment happening. The birth of Solomon. Upon first reading, I wondered.. “Well can I say much about this? Maybe I’ll preach on 20 verses to get something out,” but as I began to study... I didn't expect the shocking truths that found me out!

2 Samuel 12:9 asks “Why have you despised the word of the Lord?”How many of you view it this way, or are willing to admit this when breaking God’s commandments? Because that’s what we’re doing when we sin. The heart that David had when he looked upon Bathsheba, stole her, and his way with her, manipulated and schemed and plotted to try and get Uriah to cover up his sin, and eventually murdered Uri...

Christmas Communion 2024: Sunday December 22nd morning was not recorded due the style of its service. However, the Communion Service sermon was recorded. The text is Matthew 1:21. When God shows up, when the Almighty Sovereign Ruler and Maker of the Universe when He becomes flesh He doesn’t come so you and I can say, “I don’t know Him,” or “If He’s real, He doesn’t like me,” no when God shows Hims...

After 3 or 4 other attempts at Scripture passages and sermons, I came to my keep-it-simple-stupid-senses, and listened on my audio Bibles to the story of the birth of John, a promised son near the Promised Son Himself: Jesus. And I heard this... this prescribed muteness. This judgment, this discipline of “You shall not speak,” and that spoke to me, because I’ve been feeling like I can’t speak behi...

Have you ever gone back to read, in context, those times Matthew says, "This was to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet..." and wondered? When Christ fulfilled "Out of Egypt, I called my Son," why is Hosea talking about the Exodus of the Israelites? And Isaiah 7:14, why is that in the middle of a narrative about Isaiah confronting unrighteous King Ahaz about a war brewing between tw...
