There are few chapters in the Bible that are more misunderstood than 1 Corinthians 13. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not love, I am become as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, …
Beginning this evening and continuing for, oh, five or six evenings, I'd like us to consider 1 Corinthians chapters 12, 13, and 14 concerning spiritual gifts. It's unfortunate when sections of the word of God become a battleground, but we are called upon to defend the faith as well as to spread the …
The safest place in the world is in the shadow of the Almighty, in the secret place of the Most High, under his wings. Now, there are those who make this position to refer to the Lord picturing himself as a mother bird. Back in Deuteronomy 32:11, the Lord, through Moses, talks about himself as the …
And so we are not stretching scripture one bit when we take Psalm 45 to picture my heart relationship to Jesus Christ. And I think I had better say it at the very beginning of this message. The greatest need that you and I have tonight is to have a deeper love for Jesus Christ. I don't care what …
Psalm 87, his foundation is in the holy mountains. The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me. Behold Philistia, entire with Ethiopia. This man was born …
We have two portions of the Word of God for our consideration today, one in the Old Testament and one in the New. Our Old Testament portion is Exodus 17:1-7, and the New Testament explanation of this in John 7:37-39. Reading from Exodus 17, And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? Wherefore …
We turn to two passages in the word of God. We come to Numbers chapter 21:4. And we turn to John chapter 3:14. First the Old Testament fact and then the New Testament truth. Numbers 21:4, And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the …
I read the Word of God from Romans 8, three different selections from this passage. Romans 8:1-4, and then Romans 8:12-18, and Romans 8:31-39. There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law …
Reading Romans 8:1-4, There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the …
Romans 8:31-39. Paul reaches the climax of this magnificent chapter. And he says, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay …
