Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “The Word of Revelation” part 3 The Word of the Prophets. The Word is full of motifs (tapestries of themes) which point to the Person of salvation. In hindsight, we see that the Feasts depicted major aspects of Jesus’ person and work. We see how He is the fulfillment of Sabbath…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “The Word of Revelation” part 2 The Word of Law (or righteousness) is the same as the Word of love. We live with our carnal desires (the flesh) and have been totally depraved; thus our thinking, motives, and even worship has been tainted by sin. Jesus, however, was born of the…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “The Word of Revelation” part 1 Everything except God must have context. All creation is in the context of the eternal Word. For example: galaxies, our solar system, and earth are governed in and by the environment of the cosmos, while spiritual beings such as angels and humans are governed by…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “The Word of Creation” part 2 What we are about to explore is seldom emphasized or hardly preached in the Church. However, what we consider now is fundamental, theological, and necessarily biblical. To understand who we are is to better understand who God is – and we cannot do such without…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: The Word of Creation (Part 1) I have chosen to switch our series in John to Wednesdays in order to present this series about the Word on Sundays. Although I think hyperbole should be appropriately used, I don’t like it when pastors unduly hype up certain realities, topics, or virtues. Therefore,…
Wednesday Night Bible Study: John 11 (Multiple parts) Because all have sinned, death visits all of us (Ro. 5:12; 6:23). Death is not natural, but rather a result of our fallen nature’s curse. Though 10 out of 10 people die, we don’t have to fear death. It has been defeated for us by the Savior.…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “True Temple and Righteous Judge” John 10:22-42 Jesus is the true Temple, the One to whom the Temple in Jerusalem pointed, and He boldly proclaimed that He would raise it again in three days after it was “destroyed” (Jn. 2:19-22). A body (temple) was prepared for the Son of God (Heb.…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “The Righteous Shepherd” John 10:1-21 Palm Sunday not only looks back to when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey as they cried out ‘hosanna.” It also recounts the prophecies of God that He himself would come to save them and be their Shepherd King. As Hosea wrote, The King/Shepherd would come…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “Metaphorical Miracle” John 9 The greatest miracle I know is that I was blind and now I see! “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe in the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (Jn. 3:36; see…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “Sons of Satan” John 8:37-59 Are you a slave or an heir? Is your father God or the devil? Do you abide in Christ or dismiss His claim of being the Almighty God? In His argument with the Jews, Jesus had to correct their assumptions of their spiritual status and His…
