Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 14:23
... Intro. Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey went as far as Derbe in Iconium. They are now retracing their steps as they return to their home church in Antioch of Syria. They were confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and telling them that through much tribulation we must enter into the kingdom of God. These people were new converts and they are not telling them that now that they have accepted Jesus that their troubles had come to an end. I. AND WHEN THEY HAD ORDAINED THE...
Verse by Verse Study on Isaiah 41-42 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... In the forty-first chapter of Isaiah in the first part of the chapter, God begins His predictions concerning Cyrus who was not yet born. A man who was not to be born for a hundred and fifty years. But God begins to talk about him. How he's going to raise him up. How he's going to prosper him. How he's going to give him a kingdom and subdue nations before him. As we progress in our study tonight, we'll find that God actually names him. "In order to prove that I'm really God, there's no one else like Me, I'm going to call you by your name. It is Cyrus...

... Shall we turn in our Bibles now to the forty-seventh chapter of Genesis? Joseph has been sold by his brothers as a slave to the traders going to Egypt. In Egypt he is resold and purchased by a man named Potiphar who was the chief captain of the Pharaoh's guard. God prospered him and blessed him in Potiphar's house. Potiphar's house was blessed because of Joseph's being there. He made Joseph the head over everything he had. But Potiphar's wife set her eye upon Joseph, sought to seduce him. When he refused her seductive ways, she became angry, accused h...
Verse by Verse Study on 2 Samuel 1-7 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Second Samuel, chapter one. First Samuel dealt with the reign of King Saul over Israel, and it ends with the death of Saul at the hands of the Philistines. Saul, the tragic story of a man who had many natural abilities, and many God-given opportunities; yet, his was a wasted life, and never achieving the full potential of his being. A life of failure because he failed to submit himself totally to God. As the prophet Samuel said to him, "Because you have rejected the Lord from ruling over you," and that was the basic flaw of Saul's life, ...
Verse by Verse Study on Hebrews 11 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Hebrews, chapter 11: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hbr 11:1). This is not so much a definition of faith as it is the declaration of what faith does. It is the substance of things that are hoped for. And the word substance there has been translated in the new versions the substantiating of the things that we hope for. And the evidence, that word has been translated conviction of the things not seen. I'm convi...

... Intro. We think of the babe lying in the manger, the virgin has brought forth her firstborn Son, Immanuel, God with us.

Verse by Verse Study on 1 Chronicles 20-29 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... By Chuck Smith And it came to pass, after the year was expired, and the time that the kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and he wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it. And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of...
Verse by Verse Study on Romans 11-12 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn in our Bibles to Romans, chapter 11. In chapters 9-11 Paul is dealing with a couple of subjects; one the sovereignty of God, but it is the sovereignty of God in setting aside the nation Israel as God's primary target, you might say for work, and beginning to pour out His Spirit and work among the Gentiles. Because Paul is a Jew through and through, his heart, his prayer for Israel is that they might be saved, and yet, he can see in the scriptures those prophecies of God's move among the Gentiles. In the later portion of chapter 10, he gives some...

... "CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH" I. THE CLOSEST AND MOST INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP THAT MAN CAN EXPERIENCE IS THAT OF HUSBAND AND WIFE. A. God said that the two shall be one flesh. 1. I don't know if you can get any closer than that. 2. Whether the one flesh refers to the act of cohabitation or in the fruit of that cohabitation I do not know. a.

Verse by Verse Study on Luke 19 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Now Jesus has entered into Jericho (Luk 19:1). And as He is passing through the city, Behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans (Luk 19:2), The city of Jericho was an oasis. It was a resort town; it was the Palm Springs, except even more lush. The winters can get quite cold in Jerusalem. They get even an occasional snow. But down in Jericho in the wintertime the weather is ju...

Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Acts 5:17
... Intro. The purity of the early church has been protected by the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. It was dramatic, and decisive. Two people are dead. But a pure environment for the Holy Spirit to work has been maintained. As a result, there is a great revival going on in Jerusalem. People are coming from all over the countryside to be healed. God is at work in a powerful way. Whenever God is at work, you can expect Satan to fight it. What usually surprises us is the ones that he uses to fight it. Who is trying to stop the work of the Holy Spirit? The religious l...
Verse by Verse Study on Genesis 8-9 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... The eighth chapter begins with the words, And God remembered Noah (Gen 8:1), Let me tell you this, God never forgot him. It is important that we realize that in the Bible, there are terms that are used for God that are anthropomorphic type terms; in other words, describing God in human language. Really it's impossible to do but we don't have anything else. We don't have the divine terms to describe God's divine character. Thus, we must define or describe God's actions and G...
The Gift of Governments (Holy Spirit Series)
... Paul tells us that: And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:28) It is interesting to me that the first mention of government in the Bible is in the prophecy of Isaiah. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and...
Verse by Verse Study on Job 11-20 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn to the eleventh chapter of the book of Job. And in chapter 11 we hear from Job's third friend, old Zophar, and he gets his two cents worth in. Now for you that weren't here last Sunday night, we remember that the sons of God were presenting themselves to God and Satan came with them. And God did a little bragging on his servant, Job. And Satan said, "Yes, but You've so prospered him. Job, or anybody for that matter, would serve You if they were blessed as much as Job is. And You've put a hedge around the fellow; I can't get to hi...

Verse by Verse Study on Hebrews 5-6 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Hebrews 5 At the end of chapter 4, the author of Hebrews introduced the idea of Jesus being our great High Priest. "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession" (Hebrews 4:14). That would be our profession of faith. "For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like ...
Verse by Verse Study on Leviticus 11-15 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn in our Bibles to Leviticus eleven? Before we begin in the eleventh chapter of Leviticus, let's take a look at the first few verses of chapter twenty-eight of Deuteronomy, because sometimes we're prone to get bogged down in the law, and we think, "Oh my, I wish we could just pass over this." Is this really necessary? Aren't we under the grace of God and living in the age of grace? But in reality it is important that God is, that we realize that God is laying down for us certain spiritual laws. And God has declared concerni...
Verse by Verse Study on Psalms 47-50 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Psalm 47 is a psalm for the New Year. This psalm is read seven times before the blowing of the trumpet to announce the holy day, the beginning of the Jewish New Year. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the LORD most high is awesome; he is a great King over all the earth. He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with t...

... "THE GOOD LIFE" I. WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE THE GOOD LIFE? A. This seems to be the desire of most people. 1. Madison Ave. recognizes this and gears so much of it's advertising to appeal to this desire within man. a. They seek to make you think that you can find the good life by drinking a particular brew. b. The good life is driving a certain ...
Verse by Verse Study on Philemon (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Tonight let's turn to Philemon. Philemon was written by Paul the apostle unto the man whose name is Philemon who lived in Colossi. This letter was written at the same time that Paul wrote the Colossian epistle. When Paul wrote the Colossian epistle, he made mention that he was sending the letter with Tychicus, and that also Onesimus, who was one of their own, would be coming with Tychicus with the epistle. The letter of Philemon involves this man Onesimus, for Onesimus was at one time a slave of Philemon, who had evidently stolen some money and had run away. Now Paul is re...

... "THE GOD OF PEACE" I. "AS IT IS IN ALL THE CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS." A. There is great flexibility in the churches in the forms of worship, and order of worship. 1. From the very staid, to the highly emotional. 2. From formal ritual to informal loose structure. 3. It must be noted that the Bible does not give to us any direct teaching on how many hymns we should sing, w...
Verse by Verse Study on Daniel 11-12 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Now He begins to reveal unto Daniel these things are going to transpire, as far as the future is concerned. And here Daniel gets into such interesting details that many of the Bible critics have a difficult time with the eleventh chapter of the book of Daniel. And they say that it was actually written in the year 166 B.C., after all of these events took place, because it was impossible that he could have written of these events until they had happened. However, that's of course quite a miracle in itself, because the Septuagint version was made in about 220 or so B.C., and in the ...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Genesis 15:1
... "THE LORD OUR SHIELD" Intro. Lot had journeyed with Abraham from Haran to the land of promise. They were together until they became so prosperous that the land was not big enough for their animals to graze together. It was then that Abraham told Lot that it would be best to separate and that Lot could have the first choice. Lot saw the beauty and fertility of the Jordan Valley and pitched his tent toward Sodom. There were four kings from the area of modern Iran and Iraq who joined together to come with their armies...

... I. The background. A. At the death of Saul, David was appointed King over the tribe of Judah in Hebron. 1. Abner who was the general over Saul's army remained loyal to the family of Saul and appointed Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul as the king over the other 11 tribes of Israel. 2.

Verse by Verse Study on Isaiah 51-52 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Tonight we have a marvelous study as we look at Isaiah, chapters 51-55, in which the prophet sees so clearly the suffering and the rejection of God's provision for man in sending His Son to die for our sins. In fact, these prophecies of Isaiah so clearly describe what did happen to Jesus Christ in His rejection, in His suffering, in His death, it is as though they were written after it happened rather than 600 years before it happened. The Lord is calling unto the nation of Israel, unto His people, and God calls unto them to hearken to Him. ...

... Now on the third day, God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called the Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, and herb yielding seed, and fruit trees yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so (Gen 1:9-11). Now the key here is the gr...

Verse by Verse Study on Leviticus 1-10 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... As we get into Leviticus we get into the various offerings and the method by which they were to be offered unto the Lord. It is getting into a system that is very foreign to us, because it is a covenant that has now been set aside, that God might establish a better covenant with us. This covenant of the sacrifice of the animals could never make anything perfect, but all it could do is to point ahead to that sacrifice that was to be offered, whereby we could be brought into full perfection before the Lord. Paul tells the Ephesians that they are to be followers of God a...
Verse by Verse Study on Jeremiah 11-15 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn to Jeremiah the eleventh chapter as we continue our study through the book of Jeremiah. Chapter 11 begins a new section of the book, not a whole new division, but it's a new message, and Jeremiah is divided into many messages that the Lord gave to him. With chapter 10 we concluded the message of the Lord to Jeremiah that he was to give at the temple gate. Now he is to give a message to the people concerning their broken covenant with God. Now you remember when God brought the children of Israel into the land, it was on a conditional basis...
