Apostles Today
The purpose of this article is to give a biblical answer to these and other questions about apostles today and in the Bible. We will begin with a survey of those who were called apostles in the New Testament.
The Sufficiency of Christ
The demands of the Christian life are great. You are not sure if you can match up. The truth is, you cannot. We can only serve the Lord fully through His enabling grace and power. That is the message of this sermon.
All Things New
Everything about us is aging. Even if you just bought a new car it is already old. This is not true however of our relationship with God.
Special Revelation
General revelation is God’s revelation of truth to all men at all times. It comes through means such as circumstances (or God’s providential working in the affairs of men), conscience (the inner knowledge of men), and creation. Special revelation is God’s revelation to special or particular people at special or particular times (Hebrews 1:1).
The Sins of the Elder Brother
In the story of the Prodigal, the elder brother has all the qualities that make for a faithful, upright church member. But his sins are serious and multiplied. Are they your sins?
The Seeking of a Bride
This outline makes an application of the story of this chapter by using the main characters as types. This story is a beautiful picture of Jesus taking the church as His bride.
Seeing is Believing...Or is it?
The queen of Sheba did not believe the words she had heard about Solomon and the glory of his reign until she had seen it for herself. This supports the truth of the old saying: seeing is believing. But does it?
The Sacrifice of Thanksgiving
The first reference to thanksgiving in the Bible is in the description of the thanksgiving offering. This offering is not just an ancient ceremony. It shows us the true value and of a thankful heart. Through it, we learn how God's expects us to practice thankfulness.
Say It With Deeds
Abel lived about 6,000 years ago. He did not leave behind any books. In fact, we do not have a single quotation from his lips. Yet, God gives testimony that he being dead yet speaks.
Ye are the Branches
God must really enjoy gardens, trees and flowers. He planted a garden eastward in Eden and walked there with Adam (Genesis 2:8; Genesis 3:8). The Lord Jesus during His earthly ministry resorted oftentimes to a garden place to pray and near the throne of God we find a river and a tree of life bearing fruit. In John 15, were likened to branches shooting forth from the vine. This vine represents the Lord Jesus. God is the husbandman and He cares for the fruitfulness of the branches. What would He find should He come today?
