• 09/29/04 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.

• 10/03/04 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?”

This type provides much valuable teaching and direction.

• 10/13/04 Seeing is Believing - Or is it? - 1Kings 10:1-7: 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?

• 12/1/04 Christ Our Surety - Hebrews 7:14-22: In the Bible we find many references to transactions and covenants. In our passage we find one of those references and it is found in the usage of the word surety. Now we know that Christ was made a surety of a better testament, but what exactly does that mean?

• 12/5/04 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.

• 12/12/04 The Opening of the Ear - Deuteronomy 15:12-18: We look on service today as something beneath our dignity.

What is the Lord trying to teach us?

• 12/12/04 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.

• 12/22/04 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.

• 12/26/04 Go For the Gold - 1Corinthians 9:24-27: Paul used sporting events to describe the spiritual life. He especially used the foot race. Believers are compared to runners in a race. Are you ready to run so that you may obtain the prize?

• 02/02/05 The Work of the Body on Earth - Philippians 1:1-11: The Book of Philippians is a very practical book. In it we find many admonitions to the believer of how to carry out the work of Jesus Christ while on this earth.

• 03/16/05 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?

• 03/27/05 - 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.

• 04/20/05 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.

We have multiple Bibles in each home, a church on every corner, Bible teachers and material at our disposal 24 hours a day. There has never been a day when there were so many different ways to serve the Lord by practice, preaching and publishing. Yet we have allowed the spirit of Laodicea to deaden us. We like the Laodiceans are “lukewarm”, growing cold on the things of God. 

• 05/15/05 - 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?

• 06/15/05 Earnestly Contending: 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?

• 06/19/05 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.

• 07/17/05 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.

• 07/24/05 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.

Perhaps we aren’t as good of Christians as we think ourselves to be.

• 09/11/05 Five Major Offerings - Leviticus 1:1-2: The Levitical sacrificial system had five separate and distinct offerings that could be made to the Lord.

Each of these offerings provide a practical application for a godly walk and a beautiful picture of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

• 09/14/05 Who are the Reprobates?: 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?

• 9/18/05 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?

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.

Why is the enemy attacking so strong? Who will help us?

• 9/25/05 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.

• 10/16/05 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.

• 10/16/05 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.

Are you ready for the catching away of the saved?

• 10/26/05 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.

• 10/30/05 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?

• 10/30/05 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.

• 11/06/05 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.”

• 11/06/05 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.

• 11/13/05 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.

• 11/20/05 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.

• 11/20/05 The Furtherance of the Gospel - Part 1- Philippians 1:12-18: The church has several ministries that minister to the Lord and His people, but the church has only one main ministry in the world. That ministry is to further the gospel of Jesus Christ at any cost.

• 11/27/05 The Furtherance of the Gospel - Part 2 - Philippians 1:12-18: The church has several ministries that minister to the Lord and His people, but the church has only one main ministry in the world. That ministry is to further the gospel of Jesus Christ at any cost.

• 11/27/05 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.

• 12/4/05 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.

• 12/4/05 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.

• 12/7/05 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?

• 12/11/05 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.

• 12/14/05 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.

• 12/18/05 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?

• 12/25/05 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?

• 12/28/05 The Fifth Month - Zechariah 7:1-3: Ab is the Jewish name for the fifth month in the religious calendar and the eleventh month of the civil calendar. This non-biblical name began to be used during the Babylonian captivity. The Bible simply calls this month the “fifth month.” This designation is found ten times in the Bible. The month of Ab begins with the new moon of August and always has thirty days. Agriculturally, the month of Ab is known in Israel as the time for the ripening of grapes, figs, and olives.
