Genesis
-
The Institution of
Marriage - Genesis 2:7-8:
God created
man and gave him work to do, but there was still something
lacking. Man was alone. God saw that this was not good, and so
he brought forth the woman out of the man and presented her to
Adam. Do you see your marriage as instituted by God and as such
one of the most valuable possessions you have this side of
Heaven?
-
A
Mother's Tears - Genesis 3:16: The most underestimated responsibility and love is
that of a mother. The troubles do not end when the childbirth is
over yet it is something that a mother never escape. What kind of
help and comfort does God provide for mothers?
-
Who are the Reprobates?
- Genesis 6:1-3: We have heard much of my life of the danger
of sinning away our day of grace. This idea is that the Holy
Spirit will only work in our hearts for so long, but at some
time will cease and we are at that time, even if still alive,
condemned to hell. Is it a Bible teaching? Is it possible that
there are people among us who could never get saved?
-
The Ark, A Type
of Christ - Genesis 6:1-14: Noah's Ark is a wonderful story for
children. We love to read about the animals that went in two by
two and by sevens, but many times we miss out on seeing Jesus Christ in
the ark.
-
A Land That the
Lord Cares For - Genesis 12:1: The land of Israel has been
in the headlines for the last 2,000 years. There are obvious
reasons why. This is a land that the scriptures say the Lord
cares for. This is the land that the Lord has chosen to place
His name and it is a land where God's chosen people dwell.
-
Father Abraham - Genesis
18:19: We know much from the Bible about Abraham. We know that he is
called a friend of God and we know he received the promised seed of Isaac.
In this message we will look at Abraham as an example of a biblical father.
What kind of father or parent are you?
-
The Battle To Go
Forward - Genesis 19:1-16: What can we learn from Lot's failures? Lot
faced some of the same trials that you face. What will you do?
-
The Seeking of
a Bride - Genesis 24:1-4 :
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.
-
Serving With Love - Genesis
29:13-20: What is the purpose of your life? Would you serve
the Lord if the only option presented to you was a job that you
did not like to do? Do you murmur and complain in front of your
friends, coworkers, or children about serving the Lord? Is your
heart right in service? If not maybe you should go back to the
example of Jacob and serve with love.
-
Unstable Souls - Genesis
49:2-3: This is a message preached from David F. Reagan a
year before his departure from this world. His hope was that
this would be a message of help, encouragement and warning.
Exodus
Leviticus
-
Introduction to Leviticus
- Leviticus 1:1-2: Leviticus is a wonderful book. If it was
studied and meditated on like it should be, we would experience great
revival. This sermon gives an overview of this powerful book.
-
Five Major Offerings
- Leviticus 1:1-2: The Levitical sacrificial system had five separate
and distinct offerings that could be made to the Lord. These are the five
major offerings that are introduced in the first five chapters of Leviticus.
Each of these offerings provide a practical application for a godly walk and
a beautiful picture of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
-
The Atonement - Leviticus 1:
The Old Testament Saints did not understand everything that we understand
today, but God still provided a way for them. The sacrificial system was for
the purpose of fellowship with God. They too will base their eternal merit
upon the shed blood of Christ.
-
The
Acceptance of the Offering - Leviticus 1:1-4:
This sermon is a continuation of the study
of the book of Leviticus. It is not enough that the offering is brought; it
must be acceptable to God. God must receive it.
-
The
Bringing of the Burnt Offering - Leviticus 1:4-9: Although the
burnt offering is a picture of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, it is also a
picture of the believer who gives himself unto the Lord. In this message, we
will look at this second way of understanding the meaning of the burnt
offering. We are to give ourselves entirely and without reserve to God.
-
The
Regulations of the Burnt Offering - Leviticus 1:10-17: The burnt
offering was a complete sacrifice. In all the other offerings, others
(usually only the priests) were allowed to eat certain portions of the
offered animal. However, in the burnt offering, nothing was to be eaten by
man. It was all to be consumed on the altar as a gift to God. We need to
look at our sacrifice to God in the same way. We need to give ourselves
entirely to Him.
-
The Meat Offering - Leviticus 2:1-3:
The meat offering has a very special typology that is revealed plainly
by the cross references to the word meat as used by Christ. The
meat offering is the offering of a “living sacrifice”—the kind
Christians are supposed to give (Romans 12:1). It is also the kind of
sacrifice Christ gave during His earthly ministry.
-
The Meat Offering - Part 2 -
Leviticus 2: Almost every scholar wants
to change the meat offering to something else—although they cannot
decide what else. The name is said to be confusing to Bible readers.
The meat offering has no animal flesh. In fact, it is the only major
offering in which no animals are killed. Why is it called the meat
offering? Actually, there are very good reasons for calling it the meat
offering.
-
The Meat Offering
Conclusion - Leviticus 2: At the
Feast of Pentecost there was to be offered a new meat offering. The new meat
offering was like other meat offerings in most regards. There was, however, to be one major difference. The new
meat offering was to be offered with leaven. Leaven, the
type of sin, was to be included. Why?
-
A Thing Most Holy -
Leviticus 2:1-8: The Meat Offering is a picture of the life
of our Lord Jesus Christ and even points to His incarnation.
-
Prayer
in the Meat Offering - Leviticus 2:1-3: The
meat offering is a picture of a life given to God.
The frankincense is a special kind of incense and is a
picture of the prayers of God's people. This
presents a wonderful picture that a life that is to be
completely dedicated to God must be a life of prayer.
-
The Law of
the Peace Offering - Leviticus 3:1-5: The Peace Offering in the Old
Testament points to Jesus Christ in several ways. It through
Christ and Christ alone that we may have peace.
-
Failures in Fellowship -
Leviticus 6:1-7: Historically, the word fellow means to lay money; as to lay money down. A fellow was one who financially
supported a business deal with someone else; a business partner.
Fellowship then is to be united together in covenant for a common
purpose.
-
Sacrifice of
Thanksgiving - Leviticus 7:11-15: The first
reference to thanksgiving in the Bible is in the description of the
thanksgiving offering. It shows us the true value and of a thankful
heart. Through it, we learn how God's expects us to practice
thankfulness.
-
The Call For Holiness - Leviticus 11: This sermon compares
the dietary requirements of the Mosaic Law with the requirements for
holiness in the life of the Christian.
- Prostituting
our Daughters - Leviticus 19:29: Satan has robbed the
church blind of its daughters. Do names like Jessie
Daniels, Kelly Clarkson, Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Shelly
King, and Britney Spears ring a bell? They all started
out either going to Church as children or are in Church now.
Who’s next? It may be that my daughter or your
daughter is the next target of Satan. So what shall we
do?
Numbers
-
Lessons
from the
Encampment
-
Numbers
2:1-2:
Here is
a group
of
people
who have
escaped
the
wrath of
God by
putting
their
faith in
the shed
blood of
a
Passover
lamb. They
are in
the
midst of
a
strange
place
traveling
to a
land
that
flows
with
milk and
honey.
We find
that God
is
giving
instructions
for how
the
Israelites
are to
camp.
Now we
will
find a
few
principles
that
will
help us
as we
travel
through
our own
wilderness.
Have you
been making light of the details of your life? Have
you been disobedient to God in those areas? Have you
considered what your disobedience in those areas is doing to
those around you?
-
The Vow of the
Nazarite - Numbers 6:1-8: An interesting look into Biblical
separation by looking at the vow of the Nazarite.
-
Doorkeeper in the House of the Lord - Numbers 16:1-11, 16-18, 35: Many today love to have the preeminence (3John 1:9) like Diotrephes of
old. Man desires a position. God takes a servant and gives him a
job to do.
-
Crossing
the Line With God - Numbers 20:1-11: In this passage we find
that Moses has crossed a line with God and will not be able to go into
the promised land. What can we learn from Moses' mistake that we
might not make the same mistakes.
-
There is Still
Water in the Rock - Numbers 20:1-11: The children of Israel
are in Kadesh, the place where they decided that they could not go and
possess the land of Canaan. The people are thirsty. The Lord has
provided water already out of a rock in Horeb. This is a chapter of
trials.
Deuteronomy
Joshua
Judges
-
Never Alone - Judges 6:13:
Not a message about one person like Gideon, but about a condition of
this life. It is called despair meaning all hope is gone. The Lord has
left us on our own. Throughout scripture, God gives us examples of those
who seemed to be left by the Lord and thought they had been deserted by
Him but later found that He hadn't left them at all.
-
Defeating the Midianites in Your Life - Judges 7:15-23: We all have our
own Midianites to face. By studying Gideon's strategy we can learn
how we too can defeat the Midianites.
Ruth
1Samuel
-
Against All Odds -1Samuel
14:1-2:We often look at the odds of
something happening and decide by that if God will do something or not. But God is bigger than the odds. He can go against all the odds and go far beyond our own abilities. We simply need to trust in Him.
-
An Army of Rejects -
1Samuel 22:1-2: Have you ever stopped and pondered why God
would save you? or How He could use you to do something? Do
you ever get a desire to do something for Him and then you
remember who you are and all of the things that you need to
straighten up before He would use you? Though it is true that
there are some things in life that we must correct before we can
serve in higher capacities, many a saint of God has let
opportunity after opportunity pass with the excuse of their own
insufficiency. The story of David’s soldiers ought to encourage
you to serve now.
2Samuel
-
Water From the Well - 2Samuel 23:13-17:
It's the story of three of
David's mighty men who break through the battle line of the
Philistines in order to bring David a drink of water from the
well at Bethlehem. Though David had longed for the water, he
does not drink of it because of the danger the men exposed
themselves to in order to give to him. So, he poured the water
out to the Lord. What's the significance of this story? How can
we apply it to our lives?
1Kings
2Kings
-
Death in the
Pot - 2Kings 4:38-41: God is always providing for His children. Satan exhausts himself
poisoning what God has provided. What can we learn from this passage about how
to protect what God has given us?
1Chronicles
2Chronicles
-
The Molten Sea
- 2Chronicles 4:1-10:
The Laver of the Tabernacle was replaced with ten lavers and
the Molten Sea in Solomon’s Temple. The temple was a picture
of the glorified Christ. This message looks at the
significance of the Molten Sea.
Ezra
Nehemiah
Esther
-
Enlargement From Another Place - Esther 4:14: The Bible refers
to the enlarging of something 26 times. To enlarge simply means to make
larger. Yet, as with so many Bible words, it has many blessings in the
use God makes of the word.
Job
-
The Wonderful
Power of Music - Job 38:1-7; Revelation 5:8-10: Music it
universal. It also has a tremendous amount of power or influence.
What is the author of your music? It's either God or Satan.
-
The Dayspring
From on High - Job 38:12-15: The dayspring is the spring of the day; that is, the morning. This passage reveals
some of the scientific details about this phenomenon. However, the
dayspring is also a type of Jesus Christ, as revealed in the only other
place in the Bible where the word occurs – Luke 1:78.
Psalms
-
The Portion of the
Wicked - Psalm 11:5-7:
There
are many terrible things in this life that we could
experience that would not be pleasant. Possibly the worst
thing that could happen to a person is to burn in a fire. It
only lasts for a little while and you die, but still that is
a horrible way to die. Imagine for a moment if you were on
fire and you could not die. How terrible! Such is the lot of
all those who have not put their trust for eternity in the
finished work of Christ.
-
The
Bible Doctrine of Preservation - Psalm 12:6-7: Have you ever
wondered if the Bible that you have has errors in it? Can we find
the word of God today or has it been lost in the original languages?
Is it even important to know whether we can find the words of God?
Let's allow the Bible speak for itself.
-
What to Do With
Daily Sins - Psalm 32:1-5: When you get saved, the Lord
takes care of your sin debt. However, daily sins can creep in
and hinder fellowship. We must go to the Lord and confess these
sins so that fellowship can be restored. There is absolutely no
excuse for a Christian to have some sin between him/her and the
Lord.
-
The Peace that
Dwells Within - Psalm 37:1-8: The saints are told three times to
“fret not” (v.1, 7, 8). Fret comes from a root word meaning to
eat or to devour. We will find that Jesus Christ is the only
solution to the disease of a fretting heart.
-
Conquering
Stress God's Way - Psalm 42:11: Our lives have become one
continuous stream of activity, communication and information input.
We come to the end of ourselves. How did we get in this fix? What are we
to do now? What is God’s way through this mess?
-
Be Still My Soul - Psalm 62: Are
you trusting in the Lord and Him only? The Lord calls for us to be still and
wait patiently on Him.
-
For That Thy
Name is Near - Psalm 75:1: Most people picture God as a grandfather
way up in Heaven that is out of touch with what is going on, but we
serve a God who is near to us.
-
The Way of the Lord
- Psalm 77:Have you ever read footprints in the sand?
According to Psalm 77 the footprints of God are not known.
-
Limiting the Holy
God - Psalm 78:40-41: John Calvin's doctrine doesn't work here. Do you
limit God?
-
Turn Us Again - Psalm 80:
In this psalm, Israel has
suffered affliction and destruction and now seeks the help of
God her Shepherd. Israel is as a vine which once filled the land
in prosperity but has been burned and cut down. The psalmist
pleas with God to visit this vine and cause His face to shine on
them once again.
-
What About the Heathen -
Psalm 98:2: What about those who have never heard the gospel?
Will they be held accountable before God?
-
The Walk of A
Young Man - Psalm 119:1-8: The heart of a young
man who loves God and loves His word, who desires to live
for God. Do you love Him?
-
Except
the Lord Build the House - Psalm 127:1: This verse deals
with building and battling (“keep the city”). These two actions describe
much of our life and they certainly describe the Christian life.
-
Unity of the Brethren Psalm 133:1-3:
What is God's opinion of unity of the brethren? Though there are
countless commands in the Bible dealing with separation let us not
neglect to have unity with the brethren.
-
Even There - Psalm 139:7-12: This Psalm speaks of the presence of
the knowledge of God wherever we go. No matter where we find ourselves,
we will find that God is “even there”.

to find that it is all vanity? Find out what Ecclesiastes has to
say about it.
-
The Failure of
Education - Ecclesiastes 1:8-11: To many in our school systems
and other areas of education the main problem solver is education.
Solomon, however, will show you that education does not solve everything
and once again all is vanity under the sun.
-
The Seven
Myths of Education - Ecclesiastes 1:16-18: We are told so many
things about what education is and how it can be obtained. Find
out what the scriptures have to say about the world's philosophy.
-
The Vanity of Luxury
- Ecclesiastes 2:1-8: Solomon had everything. He had
houses, vineyards, gardens, pools of water, servants and maidens, men
singers and women singers. Yet once again he found this to be
vanity.
-
Therefore I
Hated Life - Ecclesiastes 2:9-11: Have you ever just hated
life and perhaps wanted to die? Some would say that you must be
wicked to feel this way, but actually the list of people in the Bible
who wanted the same would be a who's who list on knowing God.
-
Vexation of Labour
- Ecclesiastes 2:18-22: You spend your whole life working and
setting aside money only to leave it to the next generation and as
Solomon says "who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool".
-
Our Vanity in Time
- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: To every thing there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under the heaven. Our timing on earth is
vain unless the Lord be with us.
-
Our Vanity in
Judgment - Ecclesiastes 3:16-22: In the place of judgment and
in the place of righteousness was there found wickedness. Solomon
declares that God will judge both the wicked and the righteous.
-
The
Vanity of Elevation to Power and Plenty - Ecclesiastes 4:1-6:
Some would say that if they just got that next pay raise or the
promotion that all of their problems would be solved but not so
according to the Bible, for even this is vanity.
-
Two are Better
Than One - Ecclesiastes 4:9-12: A verse by verse study in the
Book of Ecclesiastes. This section gives several practical reasons
why two are better than one.
-
The Spirit That Goes
Upward - Ecclesiastes 12:7-14: Man is made up of three
parts: body, soul and spirit. When a man dies each of these
parts has a specific destination. What insights can we gain from
the scriptures regarding this matter?
Song of Solomon
Isaiah
Jeremiah
Losing the Songs of Zion -
Jeremiah 23:26:
We often reveal how man is perverting the words of God in the new
versions of the Bible. But these words are the foundation for many other
things as well. One of the methods Satan does this is by removing
the old hymns from our vocabulary. They are dying because the new
versions do not lend them support.
The Field of
Inheritance - Jeremiah 32:1-15: As believers, we have an amazing
inheritance. In this story the Lord commands Jeremiah to buy a field from
his uncle in his hometown of Anathoth. Jeremiah is unlikely to get any
benefit from the field, but he is to buy it anyway. God uses this event to
promise future restoration of Israel. Fields will again be bought and sold
in the land. This is a message of hope and promise in a time of destruction.
Lamentations
Ezekiel
-
Merchants of Souls -
Ezekiel 13:17-21:
Interpretation of the women that sew pillows to armholes and
hunt for the souls of men – soothsayers; fortune tellers,
sorcerers. The ones Ezekiel is called to pronounce judgment
against are hunting the souls of God’s people and polluting
God among His people. This points to a broader application.
This message focuses on those who make merchandise of God’s
people in order to pollute God among His people.
-
Lessons From
the Tsunami - Ezekiel 26:15-21: Much of the news in recent
days has been about the earthquake and tsunami that hit Indonesia and
other countries in that part of the world. Many have questioned why God
would allow such a thing or if there is a God at all, but lessons can be
learned from the Tsunami?
Daniel
Hosea
Joel
Amos
-
Special Revelation -
Amos 3:7:
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).
-
A Firebrand Plucked
Out of the Burning - Amos 4:1-13: God is certainly a God of mercy and love. But He is also a God of
judgment. Are you pushing the limits with God? Are you heading for
judgment?
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
Matthew
-
The Generation of Jesus Christ - Matthew 1:1: In
Adam all die, in Christ all are made alive. The
question is who is your father?
- The Myth of
Two Masters - Matthew 6:19-34: Many people today are
attempting to live for the world while making claims of
being a servant of God. The only problem is that according
to scripture we cannot serve two masters. May we be like
Joshua who said, "but as for me and my house, we will serve
the LORD."
Authority
for Truth - Matthew 21:23: What is truth and what is the authority
that determines truth? Truth is the most important thing that we can know
and it is a life or death situation for us to know where we can find it.
Exalting Not
Ourselves - Matthew 23:11-12: The haughty will be humbled by God. The
humble will be honoured by God. As Christians, we are to humble ourselves
before the Lord so that He may exalt us in His timing.
Hypocrites - Matthew 23:25-28: There
everywhere. Every church seems to have some. It is always
the guy next to you instead of you. Or is it?
The
Abomination of Desolation - Matthew 24:15-21:
In the
days of the tribulation, the Antichrist will declare himself
to be God. All of those who have rejected the gospel in the
age of grace will worship him as God. You must trust Jesus
Christ today as your Saviour so that you will not be among
that number. Are you ready for the catching away of the
saved?
What Will You Do
With Jesus? - Matthew 27:11-26: This is the story of the
judgment of Jesus before He was taken to be crucified. However,
in reality, it is the story of the judgment of us all.
Setting a Man Over the Congregation - Matthew 27:15-23: Ordination is first of all a simple confirmation
that God has indeed called a man and that he has
faithfully shown the evidences of this call. It places
some honor from those who do the ordaining upon the man who is being
ordained.
Mark
-
Blind Man of
Bethsaida - Mark 8:22-26: Mark 8:22-26 gives the only Biblical record of the
healing of the blind man of Bethsaida. It is also the only miracle in
the life of Christ that is not immediate, for it takes two attempts in
order to bring the man perfect sight. What can be the meaning of this?
Luke
-
Mary - The Maid
Behind the Myth - Luke 1:26-38: Though there are many who
give improper credit to Mary, the young maid was a godly lady.
What can we learn from her by looking into the perfect word of
God?
- The Sending of
John the Baptist - Luke 1:76-80: John the Baptist was a
great man of God. He was sent to prepare the way for our
Saviour Jesus Christ. He also did many other things while
setting out to prepare the way.
We need to step out of our comfort zone and do some of the
things John the Baptist did or, as the Bible says, launch
out into the deep Luke 5:4). Find out what wonderful things
God has for you.
-
God's
Plan for the Birth of Christ - Luke 2:1-20: The birth of Christ
was the beginning of God's great plan for redemption through His Son
Jesus Christ.
-
A
Mother's Tears - Luke 2:34: The most underestimated responsibility and love is
that of a mother. The troubles do not end when the childbirth is
over yet it is something that a mother never escape. What kind of
help and comfort does God provide for mothers?
New Wine in New
Bottles - Luke 5:33-39:
Why do
the disciples of Jesus not fast like the disciples of John
and the disciples of the Pharisees? 1) Their circumstances
are different (their bridegroom is with them). 2) The
message Christ brings does not just amend the old way; it is
radically different and brings complete change.
Lessons
From the Storms of Life - Luke 8:22-25:
The
storms and trials of life are as sure to come your way as
the breath you just took. We must work not to get bitter in
the storm but, rather rejoice that our Father is allowing us
another opportunity to learn.
Blessed Are
Those Servants - Luke 12:35-38: The servant must understand his
relationship to His Lord. The Lord is the master of the house and He
rules it without challenge. The servant exists for the needs and service
of the Lord. John 13:16 states, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater
than he that sent him.”
Except Ye Repent - Luke
13:1-5: We were once bombarded with the images of the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The disciples asked Jesus
about similar tragedies in His day. Will you wait until it
is too late?
It's Almost
Suppertime - Luke 14:15-24: A feast was made and many were
bidden, but when they would not come the servant was sent to the
streets, highways and the hedges. If you have accepted the
invitation then you should be acting as the servant to bring in others.
Sins of the Elder
Brother - Luke 15:11-13: We often hear of the sins of the prodigal son but the
truth is that most of us are guilty of the sins of the elder brother.
When Jesus Passed
By - Luke 19:1-10: Zacchaeus was a wee little man and a wee little man was
he. However, the Lord passed by and called out to him. What
will you do when Jesus comes your way?
Five Reasons Christians Fail to Finish the Course:
The Christian life is
pictured in the Bible as a race to run; a course to finish.
The Apostle Paul was determined to finish his course with
joy and the ministry which he had received of the Lord (Acts
20:24). Shortly before his death, he could give this
testimony: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith” (2Timothy 4:7). Notice, he
had finished his course.
John
The
Temptations of John the Baptist - John 1:19-22: We often focus on the temptations of the flesh and the world and what
they offer. However, many of our greatest struggles come from the
temptations of life. We wonder who we are, what we have accomplished,
and if followed the right path. John the Baptist dealt with these
temptations. We need to learn to handle them as he did.
Like a Dove - John
1:32-33: Many of the teachings about the Holy
Ghost are false. But that is no reason to ignore Him. The Bible says
much about the Holy Spirit and His working in the life of the believer.
In scripture, the dove is given as a type and picture of the Holy Ghost.
This type provides much valuable teaching and direction.
The Love of Christ
- John 3:16: For God so loved the world..."The Love of God is greater
far than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star,
and reaches to the lowest hell"
Little Is Much When God Is In
It - John 6:1-11: The faith of the disciples was small, the
resources were small and the need was large. How could such a
large multitude be fed with little resources and a weak faith?
It would take action on God's part.
The
Kingdom Restored - Part 2 John 6:15: The Bible speaks
much of a future kingdom that will be set up on this earth.
Who is this kingdom for and will it be fulfilled?
Come to the Water - John
7:37-39: Are you one of Christ's so that the Spirit of God dwells in
you? If so, are you daily living and walking in the power of the Spirit?
Death - The Gate of Life - John 12:23-26: We always want
goodness and life. However, if this is all we get, we miss
out on the miraculous blessings of death.
Christ Our Life - John 14:6: This world is filled with death.
According to the Bible in Adam we all die. Where can we
find hope? Is there a source of life? The answer is
found in Jesus Christ. Do you know Him?
Ye are
the Branches - John 15:1-8: 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?
Be Not Faithless, But
Believing - John 20:27: The Christian life is founded
upon faith. Even the very beginning of a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ must be based upon our faith
in His word. The Lord Jesus comes to Thomas, who had already
believed many of the Lord's teachings, and says to him
concerning the resurrection, "Be not faithless, but
believing." Are you struggling with faith today? The Lord
would admonish you with these same words.
Lovest Thou Me - John
21:15-17: We know that Christ loved and continues to love us. But do we know how
important it is that we love Him? The Bible states in no uncertain terms
that if God is our Father, then we will love Christ (John 8:42).
Acts
-
Introduction to Acts:
The book of Acts is a very important book, but it is also a very
dangerous book in the hands of a false teacher. It is important
for us to realize that this is a book of transition in the times
of the early church.
-
The Kingdom Restored
- Part 1
Acts 1:6-7: The Bible speaks much of a future
kingdom that will be set up on this earth. Who is this
kingdom for and will it be fulfilled?
-
Did Christ Go To
Hell - Acts 2:22-31:There is much
controversy over this question. What does the Bible say?
-
The Ministry of
Barnabas - Acts 4:36-37:
Do you
have an honest love and burden for those who are saved and
fallen by the wayside? According to 1John 4:20, “If a
man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how
can he love God whom he hath not seen.” Will you be a
Barnabas? Will you give of yourself to help another?
-
The Abundant
Christian - Acts 9:1-6, 15-16: Where will you be a hundred years hence?
What will it matter that you ever lived? When are you going to make the
commitment that will make your life one that made a difference?
-
Power
and Freedom Through the Holy Spirit - Acts 10: This is a
sermon that was preached by J Frank Norris. May God stir up some
men to have the same kind of fire that Norris had.
-
The Wisdom of God - Acts
15:18: God has all wisdom. Any wisdom that a man has is
wisdom he has received from God. Are you trusting in his
wisdom today? -
A Burning Revival -
Acts 19:13-20: Magic and witchcraft are on the rampage.
Chances are there is magic in your home. What should we look for
and how can we fix the problem if we find it?
-
The Martyrs for the
Lord - Acts 22:12-24: Many are suffering today, but are
they suffering for the right cause? There are those in
history who have been willing to suffer and even lay down
their lives for the furtherance of the gospel.
Romans
-
The Testimony of a Soul-Winner -
Romans 1:14-16:
We come into contact with people who are lost and on their way to hell
every day. Yet, we do nothing to reach them. Why do we not tell them? We
do not lead others to Christ because we do not have the heart of the
apostle Paul.
-
The Righteousness of God - Romans
1:16-18: What is the righteousness of God? As with
many truths in scripture, it has meaning beyond the obvious. And, as with
the truth of God’s word, its meaning is eternally important and has the
power to save and to sanctify us.
Step By Step
Away From God - Romans 1:21-32: Every step that man takes away from God, God
takes a step away from him. America is walking away, we no longer
can say "one nation under God", and the ten commandments cannot even be
posted. So where do we go from here?
The Work
of Christ to Save Our Souls - Romans 5:6-11: What did the Lord do for our when
He died for our sins? Probably much more then you are aware of.
The Free Gift - Romans
5:12-21: Jesus has invited every soul to
come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28-20). This cancels all previous
engagements. Won’t you accept His offer today?
He Maketh No
Mistake - Romans 8:28: One of the greatest blessings of the
Christian life is the providential care of the Lord. No matter
what you are going through the Lord is working it out to your good.
The Wonder of it All
- Romans 8:31-39: Many believers today seem to lose the wonder
of what God has done for them. Paul never lost that wonder. You hear
this wonder in his testimony of 1Timothy 1:12-17. You see it in this
passage as well. It begins, “What shall we say to these things?”
1Corinthians
Ordinances - 1Corinthians
15:1-4: The
Lord Jesus Christ gave the church two ordinances. Did you know
that both of them bear the message of the death, burial and
resurrection?
The Last Adam - 1Corinthians
15:45: The first Adam lost what God gave him, but the last
Adam came to take back all that the first Adam lost. Jesus Christ
is the last Adam and find out what He has done for us.
2Corinthians
-
Prepared for Spiritual Battle - 2Corinthians 2:10-11: One of the greatest defenses against any enemy is knowing
where he is likely to attack and what strategy he is like to take. God
gives us this knowledge through His word. Are you prepared?
-
Troubled on Every Side
- 2Corinthians 4:8; 7:5: The phrase "troubled on every side"
is found two times in the scriptures, both found in
2Corinthians. Paul is in Macedonia and seems to be going through
a time of trial. Here he is talking about the distresses, and
trials and troubles he is going through. How does the apostle
Paul handle being troubled on every side? How do you handle
troubles and trials?
-
Promotion Day - 2Corinthians
5:1-8:
Looking for a promotion? You may be looking in the wrong
direction.
-
All Things New -
2Corinthians 5:16-21:

is already old. This is not true however of our relationship with
God.
Galatians
-
Our Purpose on
Earth - Galatians 1:1-5: Why are we here? What am I
supposed to do? Who am I? Why didn't God just take me on to
Heaven after He saved me? These questions and many others can be
answered by looking into the word of God.
-
That
Other Gospel - Galatians 1:1-9: The Apostle Paul
was shocked. He marveled that the Galatians had so quickly
left the pure teachings of Christ and His gospel in order to
follow another gospel. But this other gospel is still with
us today. It always starts with the gospel of Christ. Then,
it simply adds something, anything, to that gospel. Be sure
that you have the pure gospel as your foundation for eternal
life.
Ephesians
-
The
Inheritance of the Saints - Ephesians 1:15-19: Paul prayed for the Ephesians that the eyes of their understanding might
be enlightened so that they might see, among other things, the riches of
the glory of his inheritance in the saints. One of the greatest
blessings for which God’s people need to be thankful is their
inheritance in Christ.
-
Fulfillment of the Old Testament Sacrifices in Christ - Ephesians 5:1-2:
In order for the Law to be fulfilled Jesus Christ had to fulfill all of
the offerings of the Old Testament. Look at the Old Testament
sacrifices through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Our Spiritual
Warfare - Ephesians 6:10-13:
We are in a war. All of
you may not be hearing the gunfire and seeing the smoke rise as the enemy
attacks but that does not mean that the war has ceased. There are other
people and other times perhaps even now where the sky is filled with smoke
and gunshots are going off left and right. What should we do in such times?
What should we be looking for? Why is the enemy attacking so strong? Who
will help us?
Philippians
Colossians
-
The
Preeminence of Jesus Christ - Colossians 1:9-18: We have heard
it taught and preached on many times that Jesus Christ is to be
preeminent in our lives, but according to the Bible the preeminence of
Christ has nothing to do with you.
-
Jesus Christ as the
Head - Colossians 1:18: In the Bible, Jesus Christ is the
Head of the Body, which is the church. If that is true, we ought
to be able to look at the characteristics of the head in
scripture and find it points to some characteristics of Jesus
Christ. Let’s take a look at some of these and see if we can see
Jesus.
-
Christians
and Santa
Claus -
Colossians
2:8:
Many
believers
could be
greatly
offended
that we
would even
deal with
the issue of
Santa Claus.
“It is
innocent”,
you can hear
them say.
Yet a
careful look
into the
scriptures
would deny
that this
lie is
anywhere
near
innocent.
-
Misusing the
Elements of Music - Colossians 3:16: Music is one of the
greatest tools of the devil. Music can be godly, but if placed
in the hands of the wrong people it can be turned into one of
the most ungodly things in this world. Listen as Pastor Reagan
gives some examples of ways that the world can corrupt godly
music.
1Thessalonians
-
A Home in Heaven -
1Thessalonians 4:13-18: We who are saved by the
blood know we are on our way to heaven, but we have
questions about what heaven will be like. We wonder about
our loved ones who have gone to heaven before us. Though we
see as but through a glass darkly, God’s word reveals to us
several things about the land of heaven.
2Thessalonians
1Timothy
2Timothy
Inspiration - 2Timothy 3:14-17:
Inspiration is
the act of God by which He made
every word of Scripture completely without error and completely
what He wanted. It is equally as vital as is the doctrine of
revelation and the doctrine of preservation. Do you have the
inspired word of God?
Know the Holy
Scriptures - 2Timothy 3:15-17: The scriptures are the very words of God.
It has been said that it is God's love letter to man. How much
effort do you put forth to know the holy scriptures?
Titus
Philemon
Hebrews
Not Without Blood -
Hebrews 9:7:
The Bible says that God requires a blood sacrifice. Some
preachers say that if Jesus had not shed any blood, then His
death would not have been a valid sacrifice. The question is
why does God require a blood sacrifice--the life of the
flesh is in the blood (you can not live without blood), but
you can die without bleeding. What is the significance of
the blood sacrifice?”
Say It With Deeds -
Hebrews 11:4: 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.
The
Chastening of the Lord - Hebrews 12:1-11: As Christian’s we really don’t enjoy the idea of
chastisement. If I were to ask someone if they want to be more like Christ, it
is an easy yes. However, if I were to tell you that one of the ways to become
more like Him is through chastisement, all of the sudden it doesn’t sound so
good. Perhaps we aren’t as good of Christians as we think ourselves to be.
Without the Camp -
Hebrews 13:9-16:
The lepers were told to go without the camp. At one time it was a
place of uncleanness, yet we are called to go outside the camp.
James
1Peter
-
Be
Clothed
with
Humility
- 1Peter
5:5-7:
Clothed
with
humility
(1Peter
3:3-4);
as pride
is the
primary
and base
sin
(1Timothy
3:6), so
humility
can be
seen as
the
primary
and base
virtue
(Proverbs
15:33).
2Peter
1John
2John
-
The Doctrine of Christ - 2John 1:9: The phrase,
doctrine of Christ, is found three times in the Bible. Two
times in 2John 1:9 and once in Hebrews 6:1. It refers to the
Bible teaching concerning the person and work of Jesus
Christ. We must know who Christ is and believe in that
Christ.
3John
Jude
-
Earnestly
Contending - Jude 1-4: Is Jesus Christ
and His blood precious enough for you to Earnestly
Contend for the faith? How are doing? Are you just going
through the motions or have you given yourself in life and
even in death to fighting the good fight of faith?
Revelation
The Two Babylons -
Revelation 18:
Are the Babylons of Revelation 17 and Revelation 18 the same?
According to the scriptures there seem to be some differences.
Getting God's Attention with Your Sins Revelation 18:5-8:God knows all things. But
some things get His attention faster than others. He knows all our sins. But
some sins get noticed faster and sometimes sin piles up so high that He
responds.
Mourning and Rejoicing over Babylon - Revelation 18:9-24:
There are two
different responses to the destruction of Babylon. Which side will
you be on?

preached from Revelation 19.
The Conquering
Christ - Revelation 19:11-16: No longer the babe in the manger, Jesus Christ
is coming in power and great glory. Behold he comes on a white
horse and the armies of heaven follow him.
The Supper of the
Great God - Revelation 19:17-21: This is not the marriage supper, rather it
is a supper for the fowl of the air to feast on those who opposed Jesus
Christ. Part of a series preached from Revelation 19.
The Character
of the Kingdom Age - Revelation 20:1-4: Who will be there? Will
there be children there? What will it be like?
God's Final Judgment
Revelation 20:11-15: How is God going to wrap things up in the end?
