The story of creation is one of the most fascinating of all biblical accounts. The enormity of what God did and for whom He did it is awesome. In this story, we see the power of God so clearly. He spoke a division between light and dark and formed all the land on Earth. By His word, God created all of the plants and animals that inhabit the world. God designed it so that all the living things He m...

It is called many things: The Truth, The Law, Scripture, The Word. The bible is God’s letter to humanity, and It is supernatural in its origin. It is a collection of 66 books written by forty different people over sixteen hundred years. Even so, the bible has uniformity and consistency. The books work together and flow. One book does not contradict another, but all communicate the same theme and s...

Many struggle with the mysteries and unknowns in life. The gloomy places that life can take us, and the shadows that sometimes come across our path, often trouble us. The darkness and the inability to see a clear way in front of us cause anxiety and worry. The Psalmist in our text today describes just such a fear and worry. Most scholars believe that Psalms 42 and 43 were written about King Hezeki...

Life can push and bend us. Human sorrows can take us to very low policies, but the Love of God can reach those depths. It is difficult for many of us to fully grasp the desperation of the woman depicted in our text. She had been pushed down and bowed by her problem to the point that she could not even stand upright. She had been in this condition for eighteen years. Even in the midst of her misery...

We all have a story to tell. Everyone we meet needs to hear the gospel. God can use all of our stories. When we share our testimony, God uses us to draw someone to Him. Our story has value. Many are resistant to preaching or teaching, but our own story conveys the same message in a way that teaching and preaching cannot.

When Joseph made revealed who he was to his brothers, they were astonished. They long ago presumed he was gone after they had sold him into slavery and led their father to believe that he was dead. Joseph had found favor in Pharaoh’s house, and because of Joseph, Pharaoh welcomed his whole family with the best that Egypt could offer. As he sent them away to get their families and his father, Israe...

God is calling His church to a purpose. A group of men heard the same call some two thousand years ago at the Sea of Galilee’s shore. That call changed the lives of the original twelve, and it can change our lives too. The bible tells us that when Jesus first spoke to Peter, James, and John, they had spent all night fishing without success. Jesus sent them back out to let their nets down again. Hi...

Grace is one of the most overpowering subjects in scripture. It is something that is wholly of God. Humanity does not play any part in Grace. We cannot earn it, and none of us warrant it, but God pours His grace out freely. A study of grace through the bible would stretch over many lessons. Grace is the keystone to everything that God purposed for us when He designed us. Grace is the unmerited fav...

The bible contains precise measurements when describing the tabernacle. Later, when designing the temple, God had particular requirements and specifications. These measurements matter because if He took the time and effort to call out the requirements specifically, those things are essential to Him. In our text, God tells Jonh to measure the temple. However, when Revelation 11 was written, the phy...

John chapter three is one that fills us with hope. It contains the most astonishing revelation that God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son. God has an undying and never-ending love for all of us. The story in John 3 begins with Nickodemus, who was a wealthy man. He was a pharisee who had dedicated himself to the learning and interpretation of God’s laws. Nicodemus was a wealthy,...

God is preparing our church for something. We have enjoyed His visitation in our service many times recently. We must respond to His presence so that its purpose can be fulfilled. When God moves, He does so for a purpose. A service where God moves can be refreshing, but God has a greater purpose than just our refreshing. We must have a sense and a sensitivity to what God is doing and look deeper t...

Many learned about the story of Zacchaeus in Sunday School. Most of us learned the song about Zacchaeus being a wee little man. The bible has information about him, but there is much more about Zacchaeus that we do not know. The Bible infers that his people did not like him. We find that Zacchaeus was a tax collector who had betrayed his people to serve the Roman government. He had cheated and sto...
