Lessons Peter forgot that we must never forget - 1/14/2010 Lessons Peter Forgot That We Must Never Forget One of the greatest examples of God's grace, loving us even when we sin and fail Him is found in Peter's life. An amazing aspect of Peter's life is his recovery by God's grace from one of the most public failures, and one of the deepest personal embarrassments of all time. Peter is forever on record for denying that he even knew Jesus not ... 0 response(s), 1 vote |

Humility - 1/14/2010 Humility, Jesus, and the Greatest Man Who Ever Lived Are You HUMBLE? Today I invite you to consider Jesus, humilityand the greatest man who ever lived up until Christ.

Labourers in the Vineyard - 1/13/2010 LABOURERS IN THE VINEYARD Text: Matthew 20:1-16 • We must remind ourselves that the Bible makes it very clear that there is no part of this Christian life which is without its dangers. Nothing is so false to the teaching of the New Testament as to give the impression that the moment you believe and are converted, all your troubles are at an end and you will never have ... 0 response(s), 1 vote |

Chosen In Him by Lloyd-Jones - 1/13/2010 Chosen in Him “According as He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.” (Ephesians I: 4) This verse is obviously connected with the previous verse; the ’according as’ tells us so. ’Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

A - 1/13/2010 A was always at the heart of the biblical covenant. Already in the garden of Eden God promised that Eve's offspring would crush the head of the serpent, who beguiled her. Later God made a covenant with Abraham, promising that Sarah would bear him a who would be the first of countless descendents. Then Isaiah spoke of a who would be born of a virgin and be given the name "Wonderful Counselor, ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

Job 8:11 - 1/13/2010 Job 8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? The rush is spongy and hollow, and even so is a hypocrite; there is no substance or stability in him. It is shaken to and fro in every wind just as formalists yield to every influence; for this reason the rush is not broken by the tempest, neither are hypocrites troubled with persecution. I would not willingly be a deceiver or be deceived; perhaps the ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

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 ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

Heed what the Spirit says - 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 ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

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 ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

Justified: No Record of My Sin - 1/8/2010 Justified: No Record of My Sin Salvation is of the Lord: initiated and designed by the Lordand thus it is almost beyond human comprehension. But what we do know, revealed by God through His Word is incredible. 500 years ago an agonized Augustinian monk was starving himself to death, sleeping on a cold stone floor, hoping to please God. He had already had the grace the church offered at ... 1 response(s), 0 votes |

Christ with us until the end of the age - 1/5/2010 The name "Immanuel" appears twice in the Hebrew Scriptures and once in the New Testament. One of the most comforting of all the names and titles of Jesus, it is literally translated "with us is God" or, as Matthew's Gospel puts it, "God with us." When our sins made it impossible for us to come to him, God took the outrageous step of coming to us, of making himself susceptible to sorrow, familiar ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

Colosians 4:2 - 1/3/2010 Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer. It is interesting to remark how large a portion of Sacred Writ is occupied with the subject of prayer, either in furnishing examples, enforcing precepts, or pronouncing promises. We scarcely open the Bible before we read, "Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord;" and just as we are about to close the volume, the "Amen" of an earnest supplication meets ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

What think ye of Christ? - 12/31/2009 Matthew 22:42 What think ye of Christ? The great test of your soul's health is, What think you of Christ? Is He to you "fairer than the of men"-"the chief among ten thousand"-the "altogether lovely"? Wherever Christ is thus esteemed, all the faculties of the spiritual man exercise themselves with energy. I will judge of your piety by this barometer: does Christ stand high or low with you? If ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |
