Making a Sacred Vow 2/9/2010
Making A Sacred Vow
As we open to Matthew 6:19, stop and put yourself out in the
crowd. Jesus is speaking, He is so clear that no one is confused.
He talks about life in such a way everyone understands.
Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures
on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves
break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where ...

Song of Solomon 1:7 2/4/2010
Song of Solomon 1 Tell me . . . where Thou feedest, where Thou makest Thy flock
to rest at noon. These words express the desire of the believer after Christ,
and his longing for present communion with Him. Where doest
Thou feed Thy flock? In Thy house? I will go, if I may find
Thee there. In private prayer? Then I will pray without
ceasing. In the Word? Then I will read it diligently. In
Thine ...

Peter 1/11/2010
Peter's Gospel of Changed Lives
Christ's complete forgiveness and restoration takes
the bitterness and sting out of our past sins—and makes
them a memory of God's grace. That complete restoration
to ministry is why I say that Peter is one of the greatest
examples of God's grace, loving us even when we sin
and fail Him. Peter is perhaps the greatest witness to the
new beginnings that ...

Heed the warnings that the Spirit speaks 1/11/2010
Heed the warnings as The Spirit speaks (1:3). Jesus claims
His own (3:4-5). Sardis rebuked (3:1-6); Philadelphia
rewarded (3:8-12); Laodicea sickening (3:15-19). Notice,
Jesus knocks at our heart, but He won't come in until
invited (3:20). Worship (4:1-11), then the Lamb is found
worthy and the Chorus resounds (5:4-14). The church at Sardis was warned: I know thy works, that thou
hast a name that ...

The Blessings of the New Covenant 1/11/2010
The Blessings of the New Covenant We have reached the stage in our consideration of the biblical
doctrine of the atonement in which we are looking at the
results of the work of our Lord upon the cross. We have considered
two of the immediate consequences. The first was the effect
upon God’s relationship with sinful mankind, and the second
was the effect upon heaven itself. Now we must consider ...

Psalm 40:1-3 1/1/2010
I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined to me and
heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction,
out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock making
my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of
praise to our God; many will see and fear and will trust in
the LORD. (Psalm 40:1-3) If you are in a desperate situation, turn your whole life

Father 12/25/2009
Though the Old Testament provides many rich names and titles
for God, the New Testament reveals him most fully. Jesus,
in fact, shocked and offended the religious leaders of
his day by claiming that he had a Father/ relationship
with the God whose name they feared even to pronounce. Furthermore,
by inviting his followers to call God "Father, "
he made this the primary name by which God is to be ...

Deuteronomy 32 verse 5 12/22/2009
Deuteronomy 32:5 The spot of His . What is the secret spot which infallibly betokens the
of God? It were vain presumption to decide this upon our
own judgment; but God's word reveals it to us, and we
may tread surely where we have revelation to be our guide.
Now, we are told concerning our Lord, "to as many as
received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of
God, even to as many as ...

1 Thessalonians 4:17 by Spurgeon 12/10/2009
1 Thessalonians 4:17 So shall we ever be with the Lord. Even the sweetest visits from Christ, how short they are-and
how transitory! One moment our eyes see Him, and we rejoice
with joy unspeakable and full of glory, but again a little
time and we do not see Him, for our beloved withdraws Himself
from us; like a roe or a young hart He leaps over the mountains
of division; He is gone to the land ...

Christmas by Dr. John Barnett 12/10/2009
Christmas: The Only Gift Everyone Really Needs
Christmas is all about gifts; gift giving, give buying,
and gift receiving make up so much of these weeks of the year.
Many are looking for the most "wanted" gifts;
so much so that often these gifts are sold out and become
even more sought after. As we open to the last dozen verses
of Luke 1 today, think about...

Friday 4th December John 15:1-5 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every
branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and
every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may
bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word
which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the
branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the
vine, so ...

Song of Solomon 4:7 12/2/2009
Song of Solomon 4 Thou art all fair, my love. The Lord's admiration of His Church is very a wonderful,
and His description of her beauty is very glowing. She is
not merely fair, but "all fair." He views her
in Himself, washed in His sin-atoning blood and clothed
in His meritorious righteousness, and He considers her
to be full of comeliness and beauty. No wonder that such
is the case, since it ...

is tough; Paul says: "Don't give up" (4:1).
Present troubles are short-lived, but glory with the Savior
is forever (4:16-1. Earthen vessels (clay pots) are brittle and of little value;
