Listen Presumption is a sin that many do not consider. In religious matters many presume that God will be pleased with whatever they think regardless of what God’s word actually says. In life, many people presume that whatever decisions they make are right with God without ever bothering to consult His word. In this lesson […]
Before the children of Israel crossed over the Jordan into the Promised Land, Moses spoke to them to encourage them to remain faithful to God. This series of speeches that Moses gave are recorded in the book of Deuteronomy. Near the beginning of the book Moses says the following: “The LORD your God hath given […]
The Problems of Preachers In recent news, we’ve seen some very serious problems with a preacher and his family. Preachers are people just like anyone else and they have problems just like anyone else. In this lesson we will look at preachers and some of their problems and understand how the Bible distinguishes between the […]

Between the years of 1969 to 1972 NASA sent Seismometers with the Apollo astronauts to be placed on the moon. They continued to send back data to earth until 1979 when they were turned off. They found that the moon shakes due to various different disturbances — moonquakes. The seismometers recorded the impact of asteroids, […]
Lessons from the Life of Jonah Of all the Old Testament prophets, we find Jonah the most sympathetic. Perhaps that’s because we’re more like him than anyone. In that regard the book of Jonah is very practical. In this sermon we will study the book of Jonah and glean some general lessons from the book […]
Who Do You Love? In this lesson we will study from 1 Timothy 3:1-5. There are several things in this passage that Paul says people will love, namely, 1) Lovers of Self, 2) Lovers of Money, 3) No lovers of good, 4) Lovers of pleasure, 5) Lovers of God. We need to understand how love […]
I suppose I have to offer my apologies to my father-in-law for the title of this article. You see, this is one of those things that I learned from him several years ago. It is something on which I have heard him preach on several occasions. But the sentiment is so very true that it […]
The Sin of Idolatry (Part 1) When the word “idolatry” is mentioned, most religious folks probably call to mind a debunked religious system that is outdated and not generally practiced. Why ought the worshiper of God be concerned with the sin of idolatry? The truth is that there are many in the religious world today […]
In what sense will “all Israel” be saved in Romans 11:26? Does this refer to the church and the inclusion of both Jew and Gentile (vs. 25; cf. Acts 15:6-11; Gal. 6:15-16)? In Romans 11, Paul addresses the question that he sets forth in verse 1. “Has God cast away his people?” It was a […]
Verses 12-16 – Eliphaz discusses in these verses a vision, of sorts, that he has respecting this particular subject. Did Eliphaz really have such a vision and from where did it come?
Vs. 7 – This is Eliphaz key question to Job. Both Bildad and Zophar will echo this thought but in slightly different ways. The accusation against Job is obvious. “Job, you are obviously suffering a great deal and since we know that the righteous don’t suffer like this, you’ve obviously done something horribly sinful to […]
In the 1980s there was a series of movies called “Back to the Future” starring Michael J. Fox. In these movies, the main character, Marty McFly, had a special car that could travel into the past and future. In the second movie on a trip to the future, Marty allowed his nemesis, Biff Tannen (played […]
In this chapter, Eliphaz begins his debate with Job. Eliphaz questions Job’s character and innocence. Eliphaz then proceeds to find Job guilty of some unnamed sin because of the great amount of suffering Job is enduring. Vs 1-2, Eliphaz begins to speak to Job. Evidently Job’s complaints in the previous chapter have moved him to […]
Please open your Bibles to Job 3:1-10. Job chapter one (three?) continues to be introductory in nature. Job is now in the midst of his sufferings. He and his friends have been silent for a period of seven days. But now Job gives voice to his sufferings. After Job’s friends question why Job would do […]
With the Michael Jackson verdict looming and an eighteen year old girl lost and presumed dead in the island nation of Aruba, the country’s attention has turned to crimes against children. There is, seemingly, no more horrible crime than that committed against innocent children for whom life has so much potential. The consequences of such […]
Indeed! Why are you a member of any church of which you call yourself a member? We read in the scriptures, Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves (2 Corinthians 13:5a). God does not want me to just take for granted that I am saved. He wants me […]
Second, the Bible makes it clear that God’s revelation to man was only for the time that the church was initially being built until such a time as the complete will of God was revealed. In 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 Paul wrote: Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be […]
