Verse by Verse Study on Isaiah 16-20 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Let's turn to Isaiah chapter 16 as we continue our study through the prophecy of Isaiah. Now, in these next few chapters that we are covering here in Isaiah, behind the scenes Assyria is arising as a strong powerful military force. Assyria with its capital city of Nineveh is becoming extremely powerful and beginning to develop a tremendous army that will soon be on a campaign of subjugating the world. And so the prophet Isaiah begins to address himself to some of the various countries roundabout-to Moab, to Syria, to Ephraim, and all because these nations, Egypt, E...

Verse by Verse Study on 2 Corinthians 9-10 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn in our Bibles to II Corinthians, chapter nine. Paul has been, in the last couple of chapters, talking to them about the collection that he wanted them to take for the poor in Jerusalem. The church in Jerusalem had gone through a lot of problems, severe persecution. And the Christians in Jerusalem were in great physical need. And so, Paul is asking the Gentile churches to show their love in the body of Christ for their brothers in Jerusalem by sending an offering by his hand to them. And in chapter eight, he talks to them about the gathering together of thes...
The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer (Part 4) (Holy Spirit Series)
... In this lesson we will look at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, as He helps us in our prayer life and enhances our prayer life. Romans 8:26-27 says, Likewise also the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the w...

... "JOY TO THE WORLD" I. "WHOM HAVING NOT SEEN, YOU LOVE." A. It is amazing how in love you can be with a person that you have never seen. 1. A man is foolish to base his love on a physical attraction. a. That kind of love is so shallow. Only skin deep. b. The old Swedish proverb, "Good looks don't last, good good cooking ...

The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer (Part 3) (Holy Spirit Series)
... We will continue our study on the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. In this lesson we would like to look at the work of the Spirit in conforming us into the image of Jesus Christ. God has placed certain ministries in the church. Paul declares first of all, that there were the apostles, and then some prophets, some evangelists and some pastor/teachers. These are various gifted individuals within the church that God has placed within the body for the purpose of the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry. Paul declared that h...
The Holy Spirit: Restrainer of Evil (Holy Spirit Series)
... Last week we talked about the work of the Holy Spirit in the world and the convicting of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment in drawing men to Jesus Christ. Tonight we wish to continue the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit in the world, as we see Him as the restraining force against evil. The Bible tells us that there is one final, great battle to be fought before Satan is forced to give over the control of the earth to the Lord. And at the present time, Satan is mustering his forces for this final conflict, in which I feel that Satan is deceived into thinkin...
Verse by Verse Study on 2 Timothy 1-2 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now to second Timothy? This is the last epistle that Paul wrote. He is again in prison in Rome. It would seem that he was released from the first imprisonment and allowed a little more time of liberty to preach the Gospel. And putting together from the various epistles and from the book of Acts, it would seem that he went to Miletus and then on over to Corinth and to Troas, probably to Ephesus, and then on back where he was arrested and taken back to Rome. Paul realizes that the situation is now changed in Rome. He realizes that the sentence of death is ...
Verse by Verse Study on 1 Peter 1-2 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Tonight let's turn to First Peter chapter one. Of the many disciples that were following Jesus, He chose twelve to be apostles. One of the twelve that was chosen as an apostle was Simon Peter. Simon Peter was by profession a fisherman. He was called by the Lord from fishing for those Saint Peter's fish in the Sea of Galilee to become a fisher of men, and was a very impulsive person by nature, according to tradition, a very big man physically. He became one of the leaders in the church. And now he is writing his first epistle introducing himself as, ...
Verse by Verse Study on Mark 2-3 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Now, And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house (Mar 2:1). So, word went around Jesus is in the house over there. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them (Mar 2:2). I like that. "He preached the word unto them." What ...
Verse by Verse Study on Matthew 23-24 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Matthew's gospel twenty-three. Jesus has been at the temple and He was challenged as to His authority by these priests, and then He was asked questions by the scribes, the Pharisees, the Sadducees. And then Jesus finally asked them a question. "What do you think of Christ, whose son is He?" And when they said, "the son of David." He said, "How can He be the son of David, when David by the spirit called Him Lord?" And no father would ever call his son "lord". That's just so totally against the culture. It's just not done. So they co...
Verse by Verse Study on Matthew 25-26 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now to Matthew's gospel chapter twenty-five? In the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew's gospel the disciples came to Jesus and asked Him what would be the signs that would precede the destruction of the temple, and then the signs of thy coming, and the end of the age. He had just left the scribes and the Pharisees, and told them that they would not see Him again, until they said, "blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord". And so Jesus was referring to another coming. And so the disciples were questioning what will be the signs of t...
Verse by Verse Study on Acts 28 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Tonight we'd like to just go through the twenty-eighth chapter of Acts and finish this book so that next Sunday night we move into the first two chapters of Romans. That's your reading assignment for next week, the first two chapters of Romans. But tonight, this fascinating, interesting final chapter to the story of the beginning of the church and the ministry of Paul the apostle. You remember last week, we were left in a very exciting and dramatic place. Paul was on the ship that was being torn up by the waves. Those that could swim went first to shor...
Verse by Verse Study on Proverbs 16-20 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now to Proverbs 16, the sixteenth chapter and begin our study this evening. The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD (Pro 16:1). God works in our lives even when we're not aware of it. If we're a child of God, God is continually working in our lives. It's amazing how many times we say things that we don't realize that at the time we are saying it, but actually it's a w...
Verse by Verse Study on Ecclesiastes 1-6 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Book of Ecclesiastes begins, The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem (Ecc 1:1). So that identifies the author as Solomon. The Hebrew word that is translated preacher is a word that can mean one of the assembly or a debater. And it is determined that the translation preacher is not necessarily a good translation of this Hebrew qoheleth, that it might be better translated the debater. "The words of the Debater, the son of David, the king of Jerusalem.&...
Verse by Verse Study on Matthew 12 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn to the twelfth chapter of the gospel of Matthew? Jesus was not one to follow traditions. He's already pointed out in the Sermon on the Mount, that through their interpretation of the law, they have thoroughly disallowed the law, for the purposes that God intended it. For they were interpreting the law after a physical sense. "Thou shalt not kill," interpreting that as clubbing your enemy to death. But Jesus said, no, really if you have hatred in your heart for your brother, you're guilty. It isn't just the outward action that...
Verse by Verse Study on Genesis 24-26 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... And Abraham was old, and well-stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh (Gen 24:1-2): So Abraham is now seeking to extract a promise from the servant and he wants it to be a very strong covenant that he makes with the servant. Now earlier, the chief servant of Abraham was named Eleazar-whether or not Eleazar was still alive is not known at this time be...
Verse by Verse Study on Leviticus 25-27 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Now as we get into chapter twenty-five, they were to give the land a Sabbath day's rest or Sabbath year. They were to plant the land for six years, the seventh year they were to let the land rest. Really, I like these laws of God. Man, you've got a lot of seven-day holidays spread through the year. Then every seventh year, you just kick back and take the year off. You don't even plant anything in that year; you just let grow up whatever grows up and you eat that. But God said, "If you will do this in the sixth year I will cause your crops to be so bountiful that I...
Verse by Verse Study on Numbers 11-20 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... This time let's turn to Numbers chapter eleven. In reading Numbers eleven through twenty, I see a pattern emerging, a pattern of chronic complaining, as the people are now complaining against the Lord. Inasmuch as God is in control of the circumstances of our lives, any complaining against the circumstances of our lives is complaint against the Lord. If I'm a child and been called, according to God's purpose, then I must believe that all things are working together for good because I love God and He promised me and He told me that "all things are work...
Verse by Verse Study on Job 21-30 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... By Chuck Smith This time shall we turn to the book of Job, chapter 21. Zophar has just concluded in chapter 20 his second speech in which, again, he sort of just gives some of the traditions and quotes some of the proverbs that are common, and sort of reiterating some of his accusations against Job. "Knowest not this of old, since man was placed on the earth" (Job 20:4). "You see, don't you know that man has known this forever?" Going back to some of th...

He is meek. i.e. does not have an exalted opinion of himself. C. He hungers and thirsts after righteousness. He longs to do the right thing. He seeks to treat others as he would li...

Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Jeremiah 49:12
... I. IT IS PROPHESIED OF EDOM THAT THEY SHALL SURELY DRINK OF THE CUP. A. Drinking of the cup is a metaphor used throughout the scriptures to indicate how the wicked were to receive the wrath of God in judgment. 1. Ps.75:8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and He poureth out the same: but the dregs there of all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out and drink them. ...

Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Matthew 12:31
... "THE UNPARDONABLE SIN" Intro. Satan many times likes to torment people with the thought that they are guilty of committing the unpardonable sin. Many times people have come to me with a tortured soul thinking that they had committed that sin. If you are worried that you might have committed the unpardonable sin I can assure you that you have not. If you had you would not be the least bit worried or concerned. The fact that you are concerned indicates that the Spirit is still striving with you. ...
Sermon Notes on Sermon Notes for Matthew 7:21
... "MATTHEW 7:21" Intro. This line of thought began back in verse 13 where Jesus talked about the straight gate and the narrow way. He warned against the broad way. having warned them about false prophets who would come in sheep's clothing, He told them that by their fruit they would know them. He now warns them: I. NOT ALL WHO SAY,"LORD, LORD," ARE GOING TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. A. It i...

Verse by Verse Study on Joshua 17-24 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Let's turn now to Joshua, chapter seventeen, as we begin our study this evening. As we get into the seventeenth chapter, we find that the land has continued to be divided by Joshua, and the portion that was to be given to a half of the tribe of Manasseh. Now Manasseh took part of its inheritance on the other side of the Jordan River, a half of a tribe. And then the other half was to settle on the western bank on what is actually the west bank today in the land of Israel. Part of that did belong to Manasseh at the time of the dividing of the land. When w...

Verse by Verse Study on Matthew 5 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Tonight we have the Sermon on the Mount, what a fantastic portion of scripture. Matthew five, And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he has sat down, his disciples came unto him: and he opened his mouth, and he taught them, saying, (Mat 5:1-2). The first thing to notice is that this Sermon on the Mount is not for everybody. The Sermon on the Mount was not for the multitudes. Jesus is not here talking to the multitudes, he is talking to his disciples and unless a perso...
Verse by Verse Study on Amos 6-9 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn in our Bibles to Amos chapter 6. The Northern Kingdom of Israel has become apostate. They are living in luxury, carelessness, indifference towards God, when suddenly their peace is disturbed because of an unknown person to them who suddenly arises in Bethel, one of their cities of worship, and begins to denounce their worship. Begins to denounce the Northern Kingdom, and begins to prophecy the judgment of God. Amos suddenly appeared on the scene, telling of the judgment of God that is soon to come upon this apostate kingdom. In chapter 6, continuing his den...
Verse by Verse Study on Proverbs 11-15 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now in Proverbs to the eleventh chapter. Now we have come in the Proverbs to individual little sayings of wisdom. Each one is separate and complete in itself and unrelated to the next. So that there is very little to comment on, because each of them become a complete little thought and finish within the verse itself. So it is extremely difficult as far as exposition is concerned, because it says it all. And the wisdom is to be gleaned just from really the brevity of the statement itself. And we are in the section in which we are dealing with that type of ...
Verse by Verse Study on Nehemiah 8-13 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn at this time in our Bibles to Nehemiah chapter 8. Nehemiah has returned to Jerusalem some ninety years after the first return. Some 160 years from the beginning of the Babylonian captivity. Babylon has been overthrown by the Medo-Persian Empire. Artaxerxes has become the king of Persia. Nehemiah was his cupbearer. Because of Nehemiah's obvious sadness in the presence of the king, something that was very unusual, the king questioned him on it. He said it was because of the reports that he had heard concerning Jerusalem; the walls of the city were a rubbl...
