Love Story Scripture Reading – Ruth 4 (ESV)    “And”, in the words of Bilbo Baggins, the hero of JRR Tolkien’s, The Hobbit, “they lived happily ever after to the end of their days...”Or so it seems, but how do you end a love story?     That is, after all, what we’ve been studying as we’ve worked our way through Book of Ruth.  It’s a story about the love of a...

Ephesians 1:  1 – 3; 2: 1 – 3   Sunday, November 8th, 2020      A king sits on a throne thinking about all of his accomplishments—the foes he has slain, the armies he has conquered, the cities he has built, all the things that he has achieved in the course of his life.  A prophet of God appears before him thinking of some of his less famous acts; and the pro...

Revelation 2: 8 – 11 Sunday, November 1, 2020           About 100 years after the Scripture that we just read, a Bishop, Polycarp, served as pastor to the church in Smyrna.  It’s interesting, because he was an early Father of the Church, as we know them, and other Church Fathers, Irenaeus and Tertullian, both wrote that Polycarp had been an ac...

Revelation 2: 1 – 7 (ESV)      1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lamp-stands.  2 “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and fou...

Revelation 1: 1 – 8   (H.C. Lord’s Day 12)    The Book of the Revelation, as we noted last Lord’s Day, begins with the words,      1 The revelation of Jesus Christ... Revelation 1:1 (ESV)(hence, the title), and it ends with the benediction,     21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. Revelation 22:21 (ESV)   ...

Revelation 1: 9 – 20 (ESV)      We are in a series, as noted last Lord’s Day; Part 3 of This Same Jesus, focussing on the fact that this book before us is, first and foremost,1 The revelation of Jesus Christ... Revelation 1:1 (ESV)     That, in itself, is complex enough that John will write 22 chapters (as we know them) between that opening statement, a...

Scripture Reading –   Revelation 1: 1 –   8 (ESV)     Way back in November of 2018 we started a series on the Gospel according to Luke, with the overall title of “This Same Jesus”, and we were looking at Jesus in the state of humiliation (as old Reformed theologians were prone to say).  But that title, “This Same Jesus”, was a quote taken from the book...

Part Four ~ Absolute Surrender (Ruth 3)      This morning, I want to talk about Ruth by first thinking about someone altogether different, from a different book and a different era.  I’m thinking of Philip, the deacon and evangelist; that Philip who, when the church began to be persecuted after the stoning of Stephen, “...went down to the city of Samaria and proclaime...

Love, Faith, Obedience Ruth 2; 1st John 5: 1 –  5      We began to study the Book of Ruth with the understanding that Ruth is first and foremost a love story.  It’s the story of the unlikely love between an Israelite woman and her Moabite daughter-in-law.  It’s the story of a still more unlikely love of an aging farmer for the young woman who came to glean i...
