The Resurrection of the Body 6/25/2010
The Resurrection of the Body
We have been considering the doctrine of the second coming
of our Lord at great length and our conclusion is that this
will happen at the end of the age; that there is only one coming
of our Lord, which is at the last day; and that that coming
will be associated with certain events, one of which is
the resurrection of the dead. We have said that, as we ...

The Final Judgment 6/25/2010
The Final Judgment
In our consideration of Revelation, we continue our study
of the second half of the book, beginning at chapter 12 and
going on to the end of the book. Here, as I have indicated,
the theme is the conflict in which we find ourselves as God’s
people, as members of the Christian Church. This is not
only a conflict against men and women; it is something much
deeper. The ...

Psalm 16:11 6/22/2010
You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence
is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures
forever. (Psalm 16:11) Meaning in life is found in your relationship with God!
We try to appear happy and confident to other people, but
many of us struggle with a feeling of emptiness about our
lives. God made us to live lives of meaning and purpose.
When we feel empty, we ...

Hebrews 12:27 6/22/2010
Hebrews 12:27 That those things which cannot be shaken may remain. We have many things in our possession at the present moment
which can be shaken, and it ill becomes a Christian man to
set much store by them, for there is nothing stable beneath
these rolling skies; change is written upon all things.
Yet, we have certain "things which cannot be shaken, "
and I invite you this evening to think of ...

2 Timothy 2:19 6/22/2010
2 Timothy 2:19 The foundation of God standeth sure. The foundation upon which our faith rests is this, that
"God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them." The great
fact on which genuine faith relies is, that "the Word
was made flesh and dwelt among us, " and that "Christ
also hath suffered for sin, the just for the unjust, that
He might bring us ...

The Experience of Peter 6/22/2010
The Experience of Peter
Peter never forgot what Jesus told him at Caesarea Philippi.
He knew Christ was the Rock and we are just living stones
who are built into His habitation. As we open to the 1st words of the Gospel by Mark - note what
they are. "The beginning of the GOSPEL of Jesus".
This whole book is about the Good News about Jesus. Remember as we read those inspired words that ...

Psalm 45:2 6/21/2010
Psalm 45:2 Thou art fairer than the of men. The entire person of Jesus is but as one gem, and His life
is all along but one impression of the seal. He is altogether
complete; not only in His several parts, but as a gracious
all-glorious whole. His character is not a mass of fair
colours mixed confusedly, nor a heap of precious stones
laid carelessly one upon another; He is a picture of beauty ...

I AM 6/21/2010
In Jesus we have the richest, most vivid picture of God imaginable.
No longer does God seem implacably remote, displeased
with the world he has made. Instead, he bends toward us,
sharing our weakness and shouldering our burdens. Through
the perfect offering of his life he becomes our Way back
to the Father. He is the True Vine in which we abide, bearing
fruit for God's kingdom. He is the loving ...

Galatians 5: 16-17 6/21/2010
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the
desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against
the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these
are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the
things that you please. (Galatians 5: 16-17) Keep your relationship with the Holy Spirit healthy and
you'll find godliness to be the natural outflow of
your ...

2 Corinthians 11:22 6/21/2010
2 Corinthians 11:22 Are they Israelites? so am I. We have here A PERSONAL CLAIM, and one that needs proof.
The apostle knew that His claim was indisputable, but there
are many persons who have no right to the title who yet claim
to belong to the Israel of God. If we are with confidence
declaring, "So am I also an Israelite, " let
us only say it after having searched our heart as in the presence ...

The Book of Revelation 6/21/2010
The Spiritual Historicist View
We come now to the historicist position and there are three
main divisions, you remember, of this view. There is the
so-called church historicist view which says that the
book of Revelation is nothing but a kind of precis of church
history. You may read a great history book and then, for
the sake of convenience, make a precis of it in order to have
the ...

Romans 13:12-14 6/21/2010
The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore
let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor
of light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing
and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality,
not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
(Romans 13:12-14) Want to overcome ...

The Message of Jesus 6/21/2010
The Message of Jesus
As believers one of the greatest privileges we have is knowing
and sharing the message of Jesus. What is the message of
Jesus? In a moment we will examine it word by word from Mark
1. But before that, think of the wonderful change that the
message of Jesus has brought. What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought, since
Jesus came into my heart. I have light ...

Isaiah 54:5 6/21/2010
Isaiah 54:5 Thy Redeemer. Jesus, the Redeemer, is altogether ours and ours for ever.
All the offices of Christ are held on our behalf. He is king
for us, priest for us, and prophet for us. Whenever we read
a new title of the Redeemer, let us appropriate Him as ours
under that name as much as under any other. The shepherd's
staff, the father's rod, the captain's sword,
the priest's mitre, ...

How Godly Dads Can Bless Their 6/21/2010
How Godly Dads Can Bless Their
God's Word declares that He has chosen husbands to
lead their homes and marriages with Christ like love. Jesus
showed us how to love by His example to His disciples. Part
of what every born again husband and father will stand before
Christ's Throne and explain is how he did at blessing
his wife and family with Christ's sacrificial love.

Acts 2:4 6/21/2010
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. Rich were the blessings of this day if all of us were filled
with the Holy Ghost. The consequences of this sacred filling
of the soul it would be impossible to overestimate. Life,
comfort, light, purity, power, peace; and many other precious
blessings are inseparable from the Spirit's benign
presence. As sacred oil, He anoints the head of the ...

Doctrine and Life 6/18/2010
DOCTRINE AND LIFE
My little , these things write I unto you, that
ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation
for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins
of the whole world. 1 JOHN 2:1-2
WE HAVE CONSIDERED these verses in general, and, as we have
said, in addition to the ...

Numbers 21:17 6/17/2010
Numbers 21:17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto
it. Famous was the well of Beer in the wilderness, because it
was the subject of a promise: "That is the well whereof
the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together,
and I will give them water." The people needed water,
and it was promised by their gracious God. We need fresh
supplies of heavenly grace, and in the ...

Psalm 6/17/2010
Psalm 12:1 Help, Lord. The prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable,
sententious, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness
of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication-when
the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently
felt his own weakness, or he would not have cried for help;
but at the same time he intended honestly to exert himself
for ...

Flee immorality 6/17/2010
Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside
the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not
your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:18-20) The best way to overcome sexual temptation is ...

to the crowds in the temple and have seen how he pointed the
people to the God of the covenant, to the centrality of Jesus
Christ, and to His death, resurrection, ascension, and
coming again. But ...

John 10:28 6/17/2010
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
The Christian should never think or speak lightly of unbelief.
For a of God to mistrust His love, His truth, His faithfulness,
must be greatly displeasing to Him. How can we ever grieve
Him by doubting His upholding grace? Christian! it is contrary
to every promise of God's precious Word that thou shouldst
ever be ...

The task of world evangelism is beyond the strength, scope

God-Man: the Doctrine 6/17/2010
God-Man: the Doctrine
In the last lecture we were considering a number of texts
concerning the person of our Lord Jesus Christ, some clearly
asserting His deity, others equally clearly asserting
His humanity; but before we go on to the consideration of
the doctrine itself, there is just one other piece of evidence
that we must give, and that is the fact that the Scriptures
very clearly ...

shall be able to close against it. What joy it will be to find
that faith in Him is the golden key to the everlasting doors.
My soul, dost thou carry this key in thy bosom, or art thou
trusting to some deceitful pick-lock, ...
