Outfitting the Saints

There are many, if not a majority, of Believers today that do not know much about the Bible that is in their possession. We have in our possession the revealed Word of God! In my generation, the biggest question that came up was, “how can I know the will of God”. This question has a simple answer, listen to what God says in His word. This morning I want to take a quick survey of that book that we...

During a time of despair in Israel when David and his men fled from Absalom, one of the sons of Korah was with him. The pursuit by the ungodly that drives the godly away from the presence of God is the setting that we find here this morning. We, as a people of God, are being driven from places of worship by an ungodly people; we are driven from meeting with our God or remembering our God by ungodl...

This nation is sliding quickly into something that the founding fathers hoped would never happen. The church, that is the called-out ones who belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, has not followed God’s word and has plunged the church, and subsequently this nation, into peril and judgment from God. There are many who have been proclaiming the remedy, but it has fallen on deaf ears! The often-quoted ver...

There is still a lot of turmoil and downright evil going on all over the world, and it is discouraging to say the least! We need to stop for a few moments this morning or even for the whole day and behold our Awesome God! Forget about all the things that bring you down, and cause discouragement. Just take a moment right now and stop. Psalm 65 was written by David as a song. Songs are great, they p...

When a person comes to Christ, that is, recognizes that they are a sinner and confesses to God, asking forgiveness for their sin, God forgives them. They then need to follow Jesus and can do so because of the Holy Spirit Who resides in those who walk by faith. Set before each person who walks by faith is the Word of God for them to follow. If we belong to Him, then we will walk with Him and engage...

All these warnings are on their because people forget what they have been told and somebody tried it! They needed to be reminded about these things before using them.

Have you ever built a house or watch one built? The preparation to build a house begins with a foundation. If the foundation is not solid enough or anchored well, you cannot build the rest of the house. So, unless you have the foundation of the Grace of God, your life will not hold up in the challenges of life. Last week we talked about sensible people, and how each of us should follow sound doctr...

We continue to live in a nation, and even the world that is hell bent to destruction. But our focus, as ones who belong to Jesus, is always heavenward. In Habakkuk 3:16-19 we are reminded of these things and how we should respond. "I heard and my inward parts trembled, At the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my bones, And in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distre...

Ordinary, everyday people are sometimes those who are just part of the masses of humanity. They have a variety of jobs; live in a variety of homes; have a variety of families; and have a variety of relationships. These people often do many wonderful and commendable deeds among their circles of social contacts, for which they are not readily recognized. Without ordinary people, the extraordinary wo...

Several years ago there was an advertisement that said, Got Milk? I remember taking that ad and using it on the sign in front of the church. I didn’t use “milk” but “Got Grace?” In life, we cannot get to heaven without God’s grace. It is Salvation by Grace. Our need for salvation arises from the plight of sin. We often think that we can work our way out of sin, but we are not able for all have sin...

Now, more than ever, we need to reclaim what has been lost to tradition of men, a shift in culture, and the lack of knowing God! This time of year is marked, or should be marked, by the message of God with us, the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament, and salvation has come to all who believe! We want to take a little time this morning to remember and review the events and people of...

There are many prophecies concerning God’s promise of the coming of Messiah. In Genesis 3:15, God told the serpent, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise you on the head and you shall bruise him on the heel.” And in Genesis 12:1-3, God tells Abraham that in him all the families of the earth will be blessed. And again, in Isaiah 7:14, God spea...

Before the days of celebration of the birth of Jesus there was the promise of the coming King. When He came He was declared King. As God’s people, let us remember that our celebration each year is to remember that He is the King and thus requires our devotion. When God established Israel as a nation of His people, there was a promise of the coming of Jesus. Jacob gathered his sons together and tol...
