The Family – Marriage (Part 5)
As we continue to talk about marriage and family, we will now deal with how long the marriage covenant lasts. What about divorce? The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a…
Children of Satan (John 8:37-47)
Jesus now addresses the Jews’ belief that being a physical descendant of Abraham made them right with God. It is not your ancestors that make you right with God Jesus openly acknowledged that the Jews were Abraham’s physical descendants. However, their desire to kill Him showed that they did not have the nature of God dwelling in them. Jesus had only spoken the truth the Father had given Him to speak, and they rejected Jesus because God was not their…
The Family – Marriage (Part 4)
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of…
Freedom from Sin (John 8:31-36)
After hearing Jesus teach, many people now profess faith in Jesus Christ. They are convinced that He is the Messiah. Jesus now addresses those who profess Him as Christ. We must continue in Jesus’ word Not all those who say they believe in Jesus are saved. Only those whose faith produces a lifestyle of obedience are true disciples. We will continue in obedience to Jesus’ words if we are truly born again. If we do not follow Jesus’ teachings, we…
The Family – Marriage (Part 3)
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 20:28 In the covenant of grace, Jesus bride must be redeemed or purchased. His bride is part of the family of Adam and in order to bring us into His family, we must be redeemed, born again, and purchased. The price that Jesus paid is…
100%
As we look forward to 2016, we must remember that the goal of the Christian life is that God’s glory would cover every square inch of the earth. We accomplish this by teaching every creature to obey everything that God has commanded. Because this goal is so monumental, we must establish a deep, firm foundation that will stand the test of time and enable our church to bring glory to Christ for many generations to come. From Matthew 18, we…
The Family – Marriage (Part 2)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 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: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace,…
Do You Believe?
Jesus has just finished telling the Pharisees that their opportunity to be saved has passed. They are confused as to what He means. Jesus is the Son of God Jesus has been constantly declaring that He is the Messiah Who has come to earth to save men from their sins. Here, He once again points out His divine origin. The Pharisees have heard this many times, but they still do not understand because they are lost. We must believe in…
The Family – Marriage (Part 1)
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:24 Marriage is the one flesh union of one man and one woman for life. This union is to be a blood covenant, a union only ended by death. Marriage establishes a new family unit. And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male…
Why Did Jesus Become Man? (1 Corinthians 15:21-22)
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ we rarely ask, “Why?” Why did Jesus come to this earth? Why couldn’t God just forgive us from heaven? Why did He become man? Why did He become a baby? Isn’t there a better way? Finite man sinned against an infinite God Adam was a finite creature who sinned against an infinite God, making his guilt infinite. God required perfect obedience to His law. One sin would have infinite consequences. Adam’s one…
The Family – Origins and Purpose
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto…
The Savior is No Longer Waiting (John 8:21)
Jesus has been having a back and forth discussion with the Pharisees. He now says some very sobering words. Jesus is going We so often envision a Savior Who patiently waits for us to decide to follow Him. Jesus here declares things to be the exact opposite of what we expect. Jesus is not waiting for them; He is going His way. Jesus is leaving them behind. Their window of opportunity has passed. The ship is setting sail without them…
