Men Are Not Equal
5/22/13 PM
Men's meeting to provoke men to be their best for God and kingdom.

11:16-24 for Gentiles to rightly consider their privilege in the Jewish church.

Mothers like Hannah
5/19/13 PM
Review of Hannah for her situation, character, prayer, and mothering.
The story of Hannah and Samuel is well known by Bible readers. But there is wisdom to consider this woman and her commitment to have Samuel ready to worship the LORD and to serve the tabernacle when he was weaned. What kind of a parent are you?
The Book of Esther

11:11-15 for the conversion of the Gentiles for the conversion of Jews!
What sovereign wisdom of God to turn the Gentiles for their immediate benefit and in turn a delayed benefit by elect Jews. Learn the humility, fear, evangelism, and thanks this passage teaches. The gospel of reconciliation for Gentiles is precious.
Reconciled to God
5/12/13 PM
II Corinthians 5:18-21 teaches two precious phases of reconciliation.
The war is over! How did Hiroo Onoda waste 30 years? Jesus went where no man could or dared and made peace between God and men. He sent preachers to tell you the war is over, so you can end your vain religious works and gain assurance of eternal life.
Romans (112)
5/5/13 AM
11:11-12 rightly applying the rest of the chapter to blinded elect.
Verse 11 of Romans 11 is the crucial verse of this chapter. What is the antecedent of the pronouns in the verse? The chapter now deals with elect Jews blinded to the gospel, allowing the gospel to be redirected to Gentiles during this transitional generation.
Six Things Determined
5/5/13 PM
Daniel 9:24 lists six glorious things God determined to do to Israel.

Romans (111)
4/28/13 AM
11:1-10 for the election and blinding of national Israel to eternal life.
Though God turned from the Jews to the Gentiles (10:19-21), He had not rejected all Jews from eternal life (11:1-2). There was a remnant as in Elijah's day by grace (11:3-6). The elect were saved, but the rest were blinded (11:7), as scripture said (11:8-10).
Inspiration of Scripture
4/28/13 PM
A simple review of a number of aspects pertaining to Bible inspiration.
The Bible is God's word. In fact, it is God's words. How did we get God's words in a book written by men? God gave men His words by external and internal dictating. You should hate paraphrases or any alteration to God's inspired words. Will you read it?
Romans (110)
4/21/13 AM
An introduction to chapter 11, a difficult and misunderstood chapter.
Many promote Jewish fables by this chapter, such as a future restoration as a preeminent nation. Instead, it exalts God's electing grace with an example of unconverted elect. This sermon summarizes important principles to guide correct interpretation. All glory to God!
Why Do You Live?
4/21/13 PM
Life is only good and important if you have the right purpose for it.
It is a shame that many worry about health and other factors, though they do not have a godly reason to live longer. If it is far better to depart and be with Christ, why fuss about living longer? Get a grip and identify why you should live? David will help with Psalm 27:4.

Romans (109)
4/7/13 AM
10:19-21 for scripture proof of God moving gospel from Jews to Gentiles.

Jesus Christ Our Ransom
4/7/13 PM
God paid the price of His Son to buy us back from divine justice.
A ransom is the price to redeem a person from prison or condemnation or required by a kidnapper to return a child. You need a ransom desperately, because you are under eternal condemnation. Jesus paid the ransom for you, and God accepted it, freeing you.
Instrumental Music in the Church
4/3/13 PM
The Best! PowerPoint arguments both against and for instruments.
