1.7.24 - The Importance Of Reading The Bible by Midway Baptist Church

Text: Ruth 1:6-17 Opening Statement: In each of these widows there are lessons to learn. In one we have a troubling example, in one a tragic example, and finally in one a thrilling example. These three widows illustrate three responses of people. First, we see in Naomi: I) A DISCOURAGING WIDOW (6-13) Naomi illustrates how the life of a believer that is not living for God, is often a discouragement...

2023.4.30 - The Mercado Missionaries by Midway Baptist Church

Text: Ruth 1:1-7 Opening Statement: In the book of Ruth there are scenes that are tragic, domestic, romantic, dramatic, historic, and prophetic. Yet each scene is a mine filled with precious gems. The Book of Ruth is a beautiful picture of Christ’s great love for us, and the redemption He purchased for us. The opening scene of the book is tragic for we find three graves in Moab. Let’s notice the s...

Easter is Over, Now What? Text: Matt. 28:18-20 Opening Statement: It's clear from all four Gospels that, after His Resurrection, Jesus is single-minded on His mission to share the good news throughout the world. Jesus fulfilled the earth-bound portion of His mission. It would soon be time for His followers to fulfill their part in the mission to take the Gospel to the nations. That was then, and t...

2023.04.09 - The Emptiness of Easter by Midway Baptist Church

This event we are looking at today in Jesus’ life is often called the Triumphal Entry. We all know the scene well: Jesus entering Jerusalem accompanied by the waving of palm branches, the cheering of the crowds and great anticipation. If you were a visitor to Jerusalem on this day, if you were unfamiliar with Jesus’ life and teachings, you would probably be wondering what this was all about. You m...

Strange Fire - Leviticus 10:1-3 I. Worship Worthy of a Holy God II. God is a Consuming Fire III. God Will be Treated as Holy

Jesus says, “What is it that I should do for you?” “That our eyes should be opened.” That’s it, and then 3 things immediately happen. He touched them, they regained their sight, and then they follow him. We can learn a lot when Jesus stops. We learn at least three lessons in this miracle. I) The Need for Persistent faith (29-31) The blind men asked what was going on? And when they hear that Jesus...

We are going to look this morning at the prayer life of Jesus. Luke gives us a summary statement here. This is not any particular day. This is a day that happened over and over again in the three years of Jesus’ active earthly ministry. I) Surveying the Prayer Life of Jesus 1. Jesus Prayed Alone (Matthew 14:23) 2. Jesus Prayed During Special Events (Luke 3:21) 3. Jesus Made Prayer a Priority (Luke...

As I was praying about what we should focus on for this year, the idea of jubilee kept coming to mind. This morning I have three R's that you can remember that may help in understanding the meaning and purpose behind the Jubilee and the Day of Atonement. Then I want to transition to our theme of “A Good Time for a Jubilee” and share with you three R’s of Midway’s Jubilee. As we consider celebratin...

Love. There are few things so universal and yet so challenging. Love for God. “The most important” commandment, says Jesus (Mark 12:29–30), and one that both the old and new covenants portray as necessary to enjoy God’s sustained favor. In verses one through six of chapter two John has already made the point that one of the ways we know we know Him is if we obey Him. And now, he follows that insig...

How we treat others and how we act is an outward expression of how we see God. If you view God as a loving Father, then chances are you will love unconditionally. If you view God as only a just God that will just punish sin, then you may view people with little tolerance. How do you see God? I) The Description of God's Love (vv. 8, 11, 13, 17) How do you describe a rose to a blind person? How do y...

Today, we will begin by looking at our need for love. 1. Our Need to Be Loved One of the deepest needs of our hearts is to be loved by others. Not only do we want to be loved, but we want also for others to make that love known to us. 2. Our Need for God’s Love An even deeper need is to be loved by God and to see a demonstration of His love. We must realize that even when others do not love us, Go...

Jonah went from running from God to trying to run God. By the way, if you preached to a city, and every person in the city repented of their sin, how would you respond? Most likely, not the way Jonah does. But that depends on where your heart is at. Look how Jonah responded when Nineveh repented. I) The Response of Jonah to God’s Grace (Jonah 4:1) We should not be too hard on Jonah here. We all so...

So, let’s look at our passage together and marvel at what God once did, and pray that He does it again…. Spirit led words though they are few; will amaze the world in what they will do. Ask the Ninevites. I) Revivals Demand a Stern Message (3:4) Jonah entered the outskirts of the great city and began to preach sermons on judgment, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown" (Jonah 3:4). I th...

12 views Streamed live on Jan 1, 2023 Text: Jonah 3:1-5 Opening Statement: Have you ever noticed in scripture how many times the Lord called or came "the second time?" Sometimes, it brought stern warning, while other times it extended profound grace and abundant blessing. But, in every case it implied the Lord was not through yet! In each of our lives there have been moments when our spiritual obi...
