The Family – Children (Part 4)
As we think about discipling our children, where do we begin? And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It…
The Only Way (John 10:6-9)
The people do not understand Jesus’ teaching about robbers. Jesus now continues to instruct the man who was blind and those present about false teachers and the only way to be right with God. Jesus is the Door The man who was blind has been rejected by his community, his synagogue, and his religion. Most people in his position would consider themselves lost and rejected by God. However, Jesus is very clear that He alone is the door. Pastors, popes,…
The Family – Children (Part 3)
How are parents to steward their children? And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14 The reason…
Recognizing Wolves (John 10:1-5)
The man who was born blind has just been rejected by the most holy and religious people of his day. He has also become a follower of Jesus. Jesus now teaches him, the Pharisees, and the disciples about false teachers. Wolves want to be a part of the church Satan can do far more havoc from inside the flock than outside. He comes as an angel of light to infiltrate the church. He sows tares among the wheat. He seeks…
The Family – Children (Part 2)
We saw last time that children are blessings from the Lord. This week we will look at the question, “Who does God entrust children to?” Parents? The State? The Church? Society? And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously…
Spiritual Blindness (John 9:39-41)
The man who was given sight by Jesus has just been kicked out of the Synagogue by the Pharisees because he will not declare Jesus to be a sinful man. The Pharisees are certain that God would never approve of healing a man on the Sabbath day. They refuse to listen to the man’s reasoning because they know that they are right. Jesus now meets the man, and the man believes in Christ and worships Him. The Pharisees watch their…
The Family – Children (Part 1)
As we continue to look at the family, we now turn our attention to children. First, we want to see the theological significance of children. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,…
The Light of the World (John 9:1-39)
Jesus and His disciples have come across a man that was born blind. After Jesus addresses the disciples’ question about the origin of the man’s blindness Jesus teaches them concerning Who He is. Jesus is the Light of the World In John 8 the Pharisees attacked Jesus for declaring that He was the Light of the World. Jesus had said that the one who follows Him will no longer be in darkness. Jesus reminds the disciples that He is the…
The Family – Marriage (Part 7)
We now look at the role of wives. Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Proverbs 14:1 Women have tremendous power in their marriages. They can produce great marriages, or they can destroy their marriage. The interesting point to me of Proverbs 14:1 is that the woman can do this entirely by herself. She does not need any help to build or destroy her home. And Adam gave names to all cattle,…
Why Do Bad Things Happen? (John 9:1-3)
Jesus and His disciples now come across a man who was born blind. The disciples ask Jesus why this happened. “Why do bad things happen?” is a huge question that all human beings wrestle with. The disciples believed that all bad things were a direct punishment for sin. In their understanding, either God was punishing this man for some sin he committed before he was born, or God was punishing the man’s parents for their sin by giving them a…
The Family – Marriage (Part 6)
We now turn our study to the role of the husband within a marriage. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were…
The Great I Am (John 8:48-59)
The Jews cannot refute what Jesus has said, so they now resort to name calling. The say that He is a Samaritan and demon-possessed. Jesus is only concerned with God’s glory and man’s good Jesus is not concerned with the opinion of the crowds. He is only concerned with God’s glory, and He is only concerned with God’s judgment, not man’s. He is telling them the truth so that they might have eternal life. Even though they continue to slander…
