Ministry Conflict
Acts 15:36-41 Please turn in your copy of God’s Word to Acts chapter 15. Acts chapter 15, verses 36 through 41. This passage will be our last in the Book of Acts, probably until maybe January 8th or so. We’ll look next Sunday at a Thanksgiving psalm, and then after the 20th, the 27th, I believe, through Christmas, we’ll be looking at some of the major characters of Christmas and look for insight from God’s Word on how we can…
Jerusalem Council
Acts 15:1-35 Amen, you can be seated. Turn in your Bibles to Acts chapter 15. Today we’ll be reading and considering verses one to 35. This is perhaps one of the most important chapters in the book of Acts. You could say in one way that the early church is making it up as they go. They have good folks like Paul who know the Old Testament backwards and forwards. They have apostles and prophets and evangelists and teachers. And…
New Creation Living
James 1:2-18 In our study of the book of James, I’m trying to decide whether to go fast or go slow, and I think I’m gonna pick up the pace a little bit. So in your bulletin, it says James 1, 2-4, but we’re actually gonna zip on through 2-18. And I think the faster we go through this, I think it may benefit us more instead of getting bogged down. So turn there, if you will, to James 1,…
The Gathered Scattered
James 1:1 Our reading tonight is simply one verse. It’s James chapter one, verse one. This is the word of the living God. James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. To the 12 tribes in the dispersion, greetings. Well, most people will sit through a brief sermon I had an attorney come to me when I pastored in Greensboro, and he said, I go before judges every week, and a judge says, counselor, keep it short.…
Missionary Report
Acts 14:21-28 Amen. You can be seated. Please turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Acts. Acts chapter 14 verses 21 to 28 will be our passage for the day. Some of you have already taken a sneak peek ahead and think we did a few of these verses already. There’s a method to the madness, you know, there always is. So last week, I think we looked at maybe 19 through 22-ish, something like that.…
The End of An Era
Joshua 24:29-33 Let’s hear God’s word together, Joshua 24, verses 29 to 33. It says, after these things, Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being 110 years old. They buried him in his own inheritance at Temnath-Sara, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, north of the mountain of Gash. Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua and had known all the…
Trials & Tribulations
Acts 14:19-23 You can be seated. Please turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Acts. Acts chapter 14 verses 19 through 23 will be our passage for today. We’ve taken a couple of weeks break to look at God’s covenant with his people, God’s covenant with families. We’ve had a couple of baptisms. So now we’re back in Acts, we’ll be here for a couple of weeks and then around Thanksgiving, we’ll look at a Psalm…
Covenant Renewal
Joshua 24:1-28 All right, turn in your copy of God’s Word to Joshua, Joshua 24, verses 21 to 28 will be our passage for the night. We’ll have one more lesson in the book of Joshua and then move on, I think, to the book of James in two weeks. I figure we need wisdom, so we better go there and get it. James is the wisdom literature of the New Testament. I think we’ll find lots of good teaching…
Follow Through on Following God
Exodus 4:24-26 Amen, you can be seated. Ask that you’ll take out your copies of the scriptures and turn to the book of Exodus, Exodus, chapter four, verses 18 to 31, Exodus, chapter four, second book of the Bible. I think you’re up for it. We take a break again today because we will be baptizing another little one and we want to Think on God’s view of faithfulness to his covenant obligations that he puts upon us. I think…
Sanctification in the Land
Joshua 23 Amen. Turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Joshua chapter 23. I think I mentioned, uh, last time, which would have been two weeks ago that there are three final addresses or, uh, summons for different folks to gather and hear Joshua speak. And so, uh, the last time the summons was for the. two and a half tribes that would go back across the Jordan River and they would live across the Jordan.…
Royal Children
Genesis 17:1-14 Amen. You can be seated. Turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Genesis chapter 17. Genesis chapter 17 can be found in the pew Bible on page 11. Before we read God’s word, let’s ask for his help and blessing. Pray with me. Lord, we come to your scriptures now, believing that it is your word to us, your people. We need to be comforted and built up in our faith. Some today may…
Making Decisions
Genesis 13:1-13 Well, good evening. What a treat it is to be here with you. This is loud. Is it loud? Do you feel it? Okay. I’m glad I’m not the only one. Well, if you have a Bible, I wanna invite you to turn with me to Genesis chapter three, or 13, I’m sorry, Genesis chapter 13, and we will be exploring verses one through 13 of Genesis chapter 13. And this passage I want you to think about…
