This sermon explores the theological foundations and practical strategies for reading Scripture, grounded in 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

As the Israelites stand at the base of Mt. Sinai, Moses again approaches the thick cloud where God was. Previously God had given him the ten commandments (20:1-17). In this encounter, God gives further instructions, civil laws, by which to govern the people. Included among these civil laws are instructions for relationships between masters and slaves. The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt and ex...

[Note - Reading of Text and Intro cut off] The second part of 3 John contrasts two men, Diotrophes and Demetrius. One loves himself to the point of rejecting others, even those sent to teach and preach the Word. The other has received glowing testimony. Which of these would you imitate? Who is the One Whom we should be imitating? Who comes first in our lives?

From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend...

What is the Summary of the Law?

In Micah 6:1–8, the Lord brings a covenant lawsuit against his people to call them back to himself. He confronts their unfaithfulness, calls them to remember his faithfulness, and exposes the emptiness of trying to buy his favor through sacrifices. God desires our hearts, not our religious rituals. He calls us to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with him. Only Jesus has perfectly fulfill...

The sermon explores the theological connection between the Day of Atonement rituals in Leviticus 16 and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who suffered outside the gate to sanctify the people with His own blood. By contrasting the Old Testament system, where sacrificial remains were burned outside the camp, with the New Covenant, the message emphasizes that believers are called to follow Chri...

This sermon explores the foundation of Christian confidence in prayer by examining Psalm 4, emphasising that believers approach God not on the basis of their own merit but through the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ. The exposition highlights how David's assurance stems from knowing God's character as righteous, good, and merciful, which sustains the believer amidst persecution and daily str...

Genesis 14:13-24 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. 14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. 15 And he divided himse...

How can we connect the work of Moses in the Old Testament with these sacraments that Jesus has given us in the New Testament? This sermon examines 1 Corinthians 10:1-5 to demonstrate that the God of the Old Testament and the New Testament is one unchanging God who saves through the same substance: the work of Jesus Christ. By analyzing the Israelites' passage through the Red Sea and their consumpt...

The principle of Satan is to divide what is good and unify that which is evil: Divide God's people and unify the world against them. The answer is unity though humility among God's people.

It was good for the nation to resolve this concern raised by assumptions and lack of communication. It is important to get the facts before taking action on a matter in a local church. The local church needs to be governed by the Lord Jesus Christ. He needs to be in charge and His will needs to be done.

Christians don't need to stay afraid of stepping out for fear of failure because Christ the Good Shepherd is always with them. Don't Be Afraid to Keep Stepping Out in Faith Because Jesus is Always Walking with You.

God has given us this passage to highlight how precious in his sight are his sheep, his people. Because they are so precious, and because enemies sneak in to bring false teaching (that first sounds good), he has appointed men to keep watch on the sheep. In our day, that role is seen as unnecessary and even unkind. Christ would not agree — though wolves certainly would! Shepherds are to take their...
