Verse by Verse Study on Exodus 11-12 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now in our Bibles now to Exodus, chapter eleven? Up to this point Moses' life seems to be going from one bad experience to worse; sometimes we have that experience too. It looks like just, man, everything we do is wrong, nothing seems to be coming up right. Moses has been before the Pharaoh; he has made his demands. The Pharaoh's heart has been hardened. Egypt has been smitten by God with many plagues. Now the Pharaoh orders him out, orders him, "never to see my face again. The next time you see me, you're a dead man." So Moses leaves and says, &qu...
Verse by Verse Study on Exodus 16-18 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... The children of Israel are moving now through the wilderness. And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. [So they have been actually journeying now for about forty-five days.] And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by th...
Verse by Verse Study on Exodus 33-34 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Let's turn now to Exodus chapter thirty-three that we might continue our study through the Word of God. And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, and go up from here, you and the people which you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it (Exd 33:1): Now at this point Moses and the Lord are having an argument on who these people really are. Neither of them want to claim them. When God was spe...

Verse by Verse Study on Genesis 13-14 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Thirteenth chapter of the book of Genesis. In chapter twelve, we find that Abraham had gone down into Egypt because of the famine. And there as the result of a lack of faith and trust in God to take care of him, he had Sarai pass herself off as his sister. But God brought a plague upon the Egyptians because the Pharaoh had more or less taken her into his harem and he rebuked Abraham for the deception and ordered his men to allow Abraham to travel freely. And so now Abraham is returning from Egypt in chapter thirteen. He went up out of Egypt, he, and hi...
Verse by Verse Study on Genesis 19-20 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Chapter nineteen of the book of Genesis deals with the destruction of the city of Sodom. The Lord came to Abraham and informed him of the fact that because of the wickedness of Sodom, it was necessary for the judgment of God to come. Abraham pleaded with the Lord for Sodom, interceded actually saying, "But what if there are fifty righteous; would You destroy the righteous with the wicked?" And the basis of Abraham's intercession was the Lord of the earth should be fair, or be just. Even in judgment, God must be fair or just. God cannot be injust in any action at an...
Verse by Verse Study on Isaiah 43-45 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... But yet, God is going to restore them. Chapter 43 gets in the restoration. But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, and the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, E...
Verse by Verse Study on Jeremiah 21-22 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Jeremiah chapter 21. Now the book of Jeremiah is not written in a consecutive kind of an order. This particular prophecy Jeremiah dates. They're just the prophecies of Jeremiah at particular times in particular situations, but they don't necessarily follow in a sequential order or in a chronological order. So this particular prophecy in chapter 21 to king Zedekiah actually takes place about six years after the prophecy of chapter 24. So you see, they're not in a chronological order. They are just his prophecies at the various times and they're just th...
Verse by Verse Study on Zechariah 13-14 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... And in that day (Zec 13:1) "In that day, in that day." Here it is again, "in that day," there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleanness (Zec 13:1). Reminds us of that beautiful song, "There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins, and sinners plunge beneath that flood with all their guilty stains.&qu...
Verse by Verse Study on Jeremiah 3-5 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... They say (Jer 3:1), That is, in quoting the law and in speaking of the law, Deuteronomy. If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man's wife, shall he return unto her again? shall not the land be greatly polluted? (Jer 3:1) Under the law if you divorce your wife and she married another man, then you could not marry her again. That was under the law of Deuteronomy, chapter 24, I thi...
Verse by Verse Study on Acts 16 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... We remember at the end of our study last week there arose a contention between Paul and Barnabas who had been close companions on the first missionary venture of the church. But because Barnabas was insisting on taking his nephew John Mark, who deserted Paul and Barnabas on the first trip, Barnabas was wanting to take him on the second trip and Paul was objecting because of his defection on the first trip. They had a dispute over this, contention so great that Barnabas took Mark and headed off for Cyprus, and so Paul took Silas and they headed for Asia Minor. So in chapt...
Verse by Verse Study on Acts 17 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews (Act 17:1): Now Luke passes that off in one verse. From Philippi to Amphipolis was thirty miles. Another thirty miles on to Apollonia. And another thirty-seven miles on to Thessalonica. So it, no doubt, took them several days to travel almost a hundred miles to Thessalonica. And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them [that is into the synagogue], ...
Verse by Verse Study on Ephesians 2:9-22 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... God has done a wonderful thing for us. He has brought us salvation and eternal life and He doesn't want us boasting in what we have done. In fact, He doesn't want any flesh to glory in His sight. So even the faith by which we are saved God gives to us as a gift. So I can't even boast about my believing the truth of God. "Well, the truth came to me and I examined the truth, and I decided I am going to believe it." Nope, "by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourself. It is a gift of God." It is not of wor...
Verse by Verse Study on Luke 14-15 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn in our Bibles now to the gospel according to Luke, chapter 14. The fourteenth chapter involves an invitation for Jesus to come to a supper on the Sabbath day and of the things that transpired at that supper, and the subsequent exchange between Jesus and the people as Jesus talked to them concerning etiquette and concerning the demands of the kingdom. So it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him (...
Verse by Verse Study on Philippians 1 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Now, that we might continue to grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, let us turn to Philippians 1. Paul the apostle was arrested in Jerusalem, held in prison in Caesarea for two years until he appealed to Caesar and was brought as a prisoner to Caesar in Rome, in order that he might appear before Caesar and appeal his case. While Paul was in Rome for two years awaiting his appearance before Caesar, he was under house arrest. He was able to rent his own quarters, however, twenty-fo...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Exodus 27:1
... "FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD." I. GOD MADE MAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF MEANINGFUL LOVING FELLOWSHIP. A. As we look at Adam and Even in the Garden of Eden, we see man fulfilling the ultimate intention of God as he communes with God in the garden. 1. I do not pretend to understand this, but it would seem that God longs for and desires fellowship with man. 2. In the past we have pointed out that for the fellowship to be meaningf...

They have watched Him as He has been dismantling the Egyptia...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Genesis 1:26-28
... "CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD" I. "SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE." A. Note first of all that man was created. He did not evolve. 1. The evolutionist would have you to believe that man evolved over a period of billions of years by the fortunate occurances of accidental circumstances. a. They teach that matter acting on matter given sufficient time can bring anything into existence, even the most comp...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Genesis 2:15-17
... "THE FALL OF MAN" I. WHAT IS MEANT BY THE FALL OF MAN? A. We read that God said, "Let us make man in our image and our likeness." We mean that man has fallen from the image of God. 1. When you look about on mankind today, you do not see him as God created him, nor how God intended him to be. 2. We mentioned that God was a superior trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, while man was an inferior trinity of ...
The Gift of Healing (Holy Spirit Series)
... Let us turn to 1 Corinthians 12:9, where Paul is listing the gifts or the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. In the last study we looked at the gift of faith and we pointed out that faith is really related to the gifts of healing. We read, "to another faith by the same Spirit and to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit." Now throughout biblical history, God has manifested His power to heal. In Genesis 17, we find the recording of the healing of Abimelech...
The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer (Part 2) (Holy Spirit Series)
... Let us turn in our Bibles to Acts 1, as we continue on the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. Last week we saw the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer as teaching and instructing us in the things of God and in the Word of God. Tonight we would like to look at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer as He empowers us to be witnesses. In Acts 1:4, Jesus was with His disciples and He commanded them not to depart fro...
The Gift of Tongues (Part 1) (Holy Spirit Series)
... In this lesson we come to the gift of speaking in tongues. And of all of the gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit, this is by far the most controversial. Theological debates really heat up when you get the subject of speaking in tongues. It seems as though, of all of the gifts of the Spirit, this is the only one that was not manifested in the Old Testament. The rest of the gifts of the Spirit are found manifested in the Old Testament. This one seems to be limited to the New Testament. There is one possibility of this gift being manifested in the Old Testament an...
The Gift of Tongues (Part 3) (Holy Spirit Series)
... First Corinthians 14 mentions speaking in an unknown tongue several times. The Greek word is glossa, which means tongue. The word unknown is added by the translators and it is correct according to the context. It is speaking in a tongue that the speaker himself does not understand. It could be a known tongue or known language as Paul said, "Though I speak with the tongues of men..." Or it could be perhaps the dialect of heaven or the language of angels. "Though I speak with the tongue of men and of angels..." Speaking in t...

... "THE BRIDE OF CHRIST" I. THE CHURCH IS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST. A. In the Old Testament, God likened His relationship to Israel as a husband and wife. 1. There were many analogies likening Israel as married to God. 2. Her turning to worship and love other gods was likened to adultery and fornication. 3. The book of Hosea with his marriage to a wife who became unfaithful, and had b...

Job responded, "How could I ever plead my case before God?&qu...

... Intro. Peter and John were going into the temple at the hour of prayer when a beggar sought alms from them. Peter said, "I don't have any silver or gold, but what I have, I will give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." The man who was over 40 years old and had never walked in his life was immediately healed and he began to walk and jump up and down. A great crowd of people gathered and Peter, never a one to miss an opportunity, began to preach to them about Jesus Christ affirming that he had risen from the dead. Pete...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 26:18
... Intro. Paul is sharing how that the Lord had met him on the road to Damascus and commissioned him to take the gospel to the heathen. He was commanded: I. "TO OPEN THEIR EYES." A. The correct assumption is that men's eyes are closed. The Bible speaks of a spiritual blindness. 1. Paul spoke of those 2CO 4:4 In whom the god of this ...

... "EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW" I. VERSE 11 FOR IT IS WRITTEN, "AS I LIVE SAITH THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS TO GOD." A.

... I. "SO THEY BEING SENT AWAY BY THE HOLY SPIRIT." A. Certainly this is one of the keys of success of the early church. It was directed by the Holy Spirit. 1. Today the churches have missions boards who look over the qualifications of the candidates who desire to go to the mission field to determine if they are qualified to go or not. 2.
