The Tabernacle
Most Christians have a very hard time understanding the place of the Law in relationship to the Gospel of Grace. What was the purpose of the Tabernacle? What place does it now have for the believer in Christ? And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. And this is the offering which ye shall…
The Old Covenant of Law (Part 2)
We saw that the Law was used to bring conviction of sin, but that the Law lacked power to make us right with God. The Law was given to teach us that we need a Savior. Now that we are saved, what is the purpose of the Law? Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.…
What is the Church?
Over the next few months we are going to be taking a break from John’s Gospel and begin to look at the Church in the book of Acts. Our key concern will be what the early Church was, and how we can conform to what Jesus has established His Church to be. Our first question is, “What is the Church?” The Greek word for church is “ekklesia” Jesus chose a Greek word that had no religious connotations whatsoever. The same…
Love is a Choice to Suffer (John 6:66-71)
Jesus chose Judas Of all the people that Jesus could have chosen, He chose Judas Iscariot to be His disciple. This choice is not for salvation (election) but to be one of His closest friends. Jesus chose to spend several years pouring into Judas’ life. Jesus knew Judas would betray Him Jesus knew the true state of Judas’ heart. He knew that he was the one who would betray Him to His death. Jesus knew that Judas was a wolf…
The Old Covenant of Law (Part 1)
Sermon previously titled: Law Is Not Our Saviour Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married…
The Chain of Salvation (John 6:36-65)
John 6 is often considered a problem passage for most believers because of Jesus’ teachings on election and predestination. However, the passage is extremely easy to interpret. Jesus speaks very simply and plainly in the text. The problem lies in what His teachings do to the system of “Christian” doctrine that we have been immersed in. What Jesus says here should change our view of human nature, the Gospel, how we reach the lost, etc. Some believe, others don’t Jesus…
A Deliverer and Lawgiver greater than Moses
The nation of Israel is now in Egypt; while there they become enslaved. After many years of bondage God begins to move for their deliverance And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall…
Be Thou the Mother of Thousands of Millions
Rebekah has just agreed to marry Isaac. She is now being blessed by her family as she prepares to leave them and be married. Her family desires for her to be: The mother of thousands of millions Rebekah’s family has instilled in her the desire for children, lots of children. They are praying that God would bless her with children, lots of children. They see children as great blessings. As such, they desire that God would richly bless Rebekah by…
Joseph
Original title: A beloved son that is rejected by his brothers returns as a ruling king Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated…
Jesus is Life (John 6:22-36)
As we look back in depth at John 6 we must remember that the people who are coming to Jesus for food think that they are already right with God because of their works. In their minds they already have eternal life because of everything that they have done. They are only coming to Jesus for food. Works will never save us Jesus tells them that everything that they have done is going to perish. They are seeking things that…
Judah is Chosen
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. Genesis 34:1-2 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they…
All the Father Gives Will Come (John 6:22-69)
The next morning after Jesus has fed the crowds of people they go looking for Him again. It is very clear that they have no desire for Jesus, God, eternal life, etc.; all they want is free food. Jesus tells them to labor for eternal things, not temporal Jesus refuses to feed them because their greatest need is the eternal life that is found in Him. He offers Himself to them instead of food, but they are only interested in…
