To be able to fight well in spiritual warfare, we must rely on the teachings of Scripture and on the one who is greater who lives in us (1 John 4:4). Paul teaches that to fight spiritual battles, we must put on the armor of God. The description can be found in Eph. 6:10-17. 10 Finally, be strengthened by the …
I’ve had the privilege to officiate many weddings. I tried to count the other day, and I have led almost 40 weddings so far. With those weddings, I have also counseled about 40 couples as they embark upon marriage. One of the greatest sources of conflict in marriage is finances. It doesn’t matter concerning family backgrounds, experiences, or amount of …
When studying God’s attributes, one must ask the question, “In light of this truth, how now should I think. What am I to do?” When our humanity intersects with his divinity, what damage is left from the collision? In the case of God’s independence, this truth needs no one to impact. In fact, none of God’s attributes actually need human …
The following sermon I recorded for university athletic team on the road. I love Matthew 25:14-30 and the parable of the talents. Jesus’ words still change me today! Notes Not everyone receives the same amount of competency, but all are to show the same amount of faithfulness (Matt. 25:15). No distinctions between these two regarding the degrees of faithfulness. Slothful …
The Book of Ruth is a link between the time of the judges and the time of the kings. In this book, we see a unique story of how God brings about provision for two widows. Through this story, God is showing that his promise to reach all nations (Gen. 12:3) is being fulfilled. Here is a great summary of …
We tend to imagine God to be as petty as we are. Assuming he holds grudges due to previous mistakes, sometimes our prayers are stifled because we believe he doesn’t want to hear from us. While our Father is diligent to discipline us, he is also eager to pardon us. He loves to show compassion to his children. Do you …
The issue of women leading in the Church is always a stumbling block for many. Too often, we swing that pendulum too far in the opposite direction of a dangerous trend. We either make women completely the same as men, or we say they can’t do anything that a man does. Both are incorrect. Women are equal to men, but …
Last week, our entire church started studying through Judges. As I picked up my boys from Gospel Groups, I was approached with information concerning Obadiah’s comments during large group discussion. In order to tell Amanda accurate information, I texted for clarification. I asked Obadiah where he had heard that, and he said, “You told us, remember?” Such a great laugh …
The Book of Judges is one of the most depressing books in the Bible. As indicated in the graphic above, the people are in a continual cycle of sin, suffering, supplication, and salvation. The people would sin. God would bring about suffering in their lives for punishment. They would pray for deliverance. God would use a judge to bring about …
Joshua 24:14 “Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond …
