Praying for Rain Part 3
Desperate times calls for Focused Prayers. In part one we talked about Spiritual Drought causing Actual Drought in Israel. We can learn much from the story of Elijah, the three years of no rain in Israel, and the battle on Mount Carmel. Most of all we need to learn that we need to restore the alter of the LORD in our personal lives, the lives in our family and in our community. Scripture: 1 Kings 18, Deuteronomy 11:14, Joel 2:23,…

Doing the Works of Jesus
Jesus has called us to LOVE like Him, WALK like Him and WORK like Him. If we truly receive this injunction and surrender to His plan and receive the Holy Spirit, then all the things we read about Jesus doing, are acts of mercy we will be doing. Not for our fame, but as a means to point others to Jesus and His Father. As John Piper states “Christians are defined by works or life which flow from faith in…
The Sanctuary – Part 2 – The Plan of Redemption in the NT Sanctuary
Two weeks ago, I presented some thoughts about the Mosaic sanctuary and what a spiritually perceptive Hebrew might have thought about the sanctuary rituals. Within the sphere of the OT itself only inferences can be made as to the meaning of the sanctuary, its furnishings and its rituals since there is no discussion of its symbolism. Were it not for the insights of the NT the Israelite form of worship would remain obscure. Today we will discuss the sanctuary and…

Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30, 1…
Christ’s Method Alone
How did Jesus share the “Good News” of His Kingdom? He mingled with humanity. He sympathized with people, met their needs and won their confidence. In a word, “Relationship”. Jesus came in to relationship with humanity and then invited them to follow Him. We are called to do the same. Join us in person or online to learn what it means to follow Christ’s Method in sharing the Good News. Scripture: John 1:14, Hebrews 2:17, Hebrews 4:14-16 “Christ’s Method Alone”…
Abraham’s Seed Becomes a Nation
The patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, knew God as the God of Promises. Just over 400 years later Israel was reintroduced to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Who would now fulfill those promises (Ex 2:15; 6:2-7). The seed of Abraham, Israel, had grown large in number over those intervening years and now God would lead that nation out of slavery in Egypt to the promised land (Gen 15:13). There remained yet another unfulfilled promise, that being the making…
