The ultimate witness to the world is the love believers have for one another in the life of the church. How do we maintain harmony? Most churches do not have brotherhood. They do not pursue brotherhood. Instead, they have either individualism (everyone does what works for them) or they have family first (whatever works for my family matters more th…

God wants us to know Him as He truly is, and Jesus is the accurate revelation of God. Believers are the last revelation of God. If you would experience a great disappointment, would it be distressing to you to know that God knows? I ask this question because there is a strong emphasis among us: you have to strive perfectly to enter in; you have to …

To be like Christ is the highest attainment of every Christian. To have His image formed in our lives is Christ’s will and requires yielding to Christ. I John 3:22-24 Answered prayer is the result of doing what pleases Christ and loving one another. You don’t know a person until you have prayed with them. Prayerlessness and faithlessness go togethe…

The theme for Wednesday’s evening sermon was Forgiveness, with Psalm 130:4 being the text. “But there is forgiveness with Thee”. Dale told us that God can heal the hurts and make wrong things right! We believe in forgiveness, but we can believe it better! Forgiveness is a miracle! We need the forgiveness of others…husbands from wives, wives from hu…

The greatest evidence that God is holy is His humility. Humility is not self-abasement, or being bashful or the absence of excellence. It does not happen with will power but by surrender. Humility defines the spirit of the Holy One. God comes in humility: in the garden when he pursued Adam and Eve, in Jesus as a baby, and every time he uses humans …

Our eternal home will feel like home – John calls it a new earth. It will feel good and familiar. There was nothing wrong with God’s original plan; He is completing it, not throwing it away. We can look forward to deliverance from fear and evil. Carefree children can remind us that this is the way things were meant to be. We can look forward to com…

Genesis 24 begins with Isaac grieving his mother Sarah’s passing and Abraham realizing it was time to seek a wife for him. We see Abraham as a man of faith taking sure steps to make that happen in a Godly way. The complication was that there were no options locally, among the Canaanites. They were an idolatrous nation and Abraham wanted his son to …

Our faith in God is built around the expectation that God will be fair. Good things should happen to good people. There are benefits to serving God. But what we know about God and His ways is overwhelmingly dwarfed by what we do not yet know about Him. We stand at the edge of the endless ocean of His eternal being, and all our present knowledge of …

Milton Hostedler’s last sermon was entitled “Time is Running Out” with the emphasis that too many people live as though there’s no end to time. Hebrews 4:11-13, Romans 14:10-12 – we will all have to give an account someday. Imagine that it’s your turn next; what will you regret? What will you be glad for? The concept of a final reckoning or judgmen…

Creation, the Fall, and God’s response God’s purposes in creation: God created so Adam and Eve could experience his love; so Adam and Eve could grow to maturity; so Adam and Eve could exercise dominion over His creation. The Fall: Eve sinned out of her desire to experience more (a God-created desire), the lies of the devil, Eve’s doubts about the g…

Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” We are all sinners and need a Savior. All the money in the world will not pay the price of sin. In the Old Testament, the sacrificial system was practiced. Hebrews 9:22 states, “without shedding of blood there is no remission.” But why was blood necessary? We cannot live withou…

Looking back – The whole Bible is a looking back. We look back at the realization that we were slaves to sin and now we are slaves to righteousness. The Old Testament had many laws and commandments. Jesus took the Old Testament commandments and made them stronger. His commandment is to love, and He demonstrated this by going to the cross for us. Wh…

Why was Jesus born at the time and place in history that he was? God had a plan. He has always had a plan. He was born in the fullness of time, according to Galatians 4:4. What does that mean? God’s timing is perfect. He does not operate on the same timetable that we do. God is outside of time. When God chooses to wait, He waits because of His merc…

Jesus Christ is present in the Old Testament in at least three ways: preincarnate appearances (the angel of the Lord), prophecies (there are about 350), and types and shadows. We looked at four areas of prophecy: The Messiah will be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7). We might not recognize a statement in the Old Testament as a prophecy except that the NT…
