Stephen Olford: Time For Truth from God’s Word

References:  James 4:13-17   ,  Galatians 5:16-23 “Tug of War” is a fun playground game for children to play. But in the Christian life there is a serious conflict of war constantly going on. It is between the self-centered life and the Spirit-centered life. It is between the desire to please self and the desire to please God. We need to be aware of this struggle and aware of the pr...

  References:  2 Corinthians 5:14-21 An challenging sermon and on a glorious passage.

The church of Jesus Christ has a job to do. It must operate within the authority and anointing of God in order to do it. What is your part in this task? Do you even understand the task? Are you operating in the realm of God’s will, God’s authority, God’s anointing?

Failure to relate the Lordship of Christ to every area of your life constitutes the greatest omission in the world. So often, we are led astray by thinking that the only sin that God pays attention to is the deliberate, willful violation of that which constitutes God’s holy law. But as a matter of fact, this text teaches that to sit back and do nothing is to sin just as greatly. References: ...

The Holy Spirit here in Hebrews lifts the Savior up and exalts Him and focuses all attention on Him so that when all others have been spoken of, we’re coming face to face with the only One who can “Save to the uttermost those that come to God by Him seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them.” References:  Hebrews 7:25-26   ______________________________________________ Dr. Steph...

No man can know that concept of God which makes him worship, no one can know God in all the reality of His revelation in Jesus Christ, no one can look into the face of Jesus Christ and meet Jesus Christ, and do nothing about it. Pure religion is worship in action. References:  James 1:22   ,  James 1:26-27   ______________________________________________ Dr. Stephen Olford's ra...

References:  John 4:46-54 Aial, the nobleman of this story, possessed many things and had no need that could be detected on the surface. We may reasonably assume that he was in service at the court of Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee. Indeed, some have suggested that he may have been Chuza, Herod’s prime minister (Luke 8:3), or even Manaean, Herod’s foster brother (Acts 13:1)....

References:  John 1:43-51   ,  John 21:2 Nathanael was one of Christ’s twelve disciples. If we were to write his biography, it might be a short volume, for not much is said about him. What we do know, however, is that he was a moral, upstanding man. He was a man of good character. But Nathanael's good character was not enough. He needed more than good character. The story of Nathana...

References:  Luke 7:1-10 In the centurion of our story, we find a man whose philosophy of authority caused the Lord Jesus to marvel and exclaim: “...I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel” (v.9). We do well, then, to examine this centurion’s life.     ______________________________________________ Dr. Stephen Olford's radio messages and sermons can also be accessed...

References:  Luke 8:40-48 According to the perception of most people, hope is in short supply. But when Jesus is on the scene, hope is abundant and real. This is a message about a woman who reached out in faith to Jesus for physical healing, and how she received wholeness in every part of her life. Her disease had socially positioned her as a nobody. She could not enjoy a loving touch from he...

References:  Luke 19:1-10 We live in a very busy but lonely world. Everyone has experienced loneliness; that lost and longing feeling. There is only one answer to loneliness ultimately because there is but one person who can change the life and fill the voids and fulfill the longings - yes all longings. That Person is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the maker of the human heart and He is the hea...
