It is important to realize that the Letter to the Ephesians is written to the body of Christ everywhere. It is a message for the Church in every age. The message is loud and clear that Christ reconciles all races and cultures by bringing them to himself and making them one with him and with one another. It is a message of unity, and a message for a fragmented world we live in. Scripture Text: Ephesians 1:1-6
Have you ever witnessed someone have a changed heart? We have all seen this and when it happens it is stunning. It happened all through Jesus’ ministry as he touched lives. Here, in this passage, it happened at his death. There were those who observed Him die and were changed. We will look at three occasions when people’s hearts were changed because of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection.Scripture Text: Matthew 27:54-61
Palm SundayScripture Text: Matthew 21:1-11
People everywhere, even Christians wonder if there is anything else to look forward to in life. Sometimes we feel the best has come and gone. Is there anything left to long for in life? In a world that is depressing due to the amount of terrible news. The need to turn our attention to the heaven God has prepared for us is imperative. The Bible speaks of heaven from beginning to end. Scripture Text: Revelation 21:1-8
Scripture Text: 1 Corinthians 15:35-49
A series on Heaven. Part 1Scripture Text: Isaiah 60:1-24
1 Samuel 31 tells of the tragic death of Saul, the one who had been called the anointed, called to save his people. The death of Saul will point us not only to the coming kingdom of David, but also to the kingdom of the one descended from David a thousand years later. He would be declared king in power by his resurrection from the dead.Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 31:1-12
Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 30:1-31
God’s providence leads us toward God’s plans for our lives and prevents us from making terrible mistakes. David had made a mistake by going over to the Philistines causing him to be part of an army that will fight his own people. God will close the door and send David away from this disaster. Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 29:1-11
It is interesting how we use the word blessed. We say “God bless you” to someone who sneezes, maybe hoping we don’t get what they have. When something good happens, we say, “We got a huge blessing.” However, Jesus used the word very differently than we might expect. In his Sermon on the Mount, he gave us eight beatitudes or blessed attitudes that reflect what a follower of Christ should look like. The First Four Beatitudes: “Beatitudes of Need.”The Last Four Beatitudes: “Beatitudes of Action.”Scripture Text: Matthew 5:3-10
Hopelessness is the darkest of all human experiences. It happens when a person can see no future worth living. Hopelessness strips away all motivation for living taking away all enjoyment and fulfillment. In 1 Samuel 28 we see the utter hopelessness of King Saul. He is a man "having no hope and without God in the world."Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 28:1-25
Now we are shown another episode in David’s life that is not impressive. For the next 16 months David would not write any psalms. There are no recorded prayers. During this time David makes his decisions from a humanistic viewpoint. This is one of the darkest periods in David’s life.Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 27:1-12
David had recently spared Saul’s life. At the time, it was hard for David to understand anything good from these situations. Still, with time, he realized God was teaching him a valuable lesson and showing mercy. Now, in chapter 26, he has a second opportunity but does not take it. Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 26:1-25
Luke, being the only Gentile author in the Bible and also a physician, sees things differently, often including important details. This is helpful because he gives us the fuller account of Jesus’ birth. He begins by noting the date, informing us that Caesar Augustus was the ruler of “the entire Roman world.” Luke paints a contrast between one who is the self-proclaimed savior of the world and one who is the real Savior.Scripture Text: Luke 2:1-20
Mary would have grown up in a strong Jewish home. Her life was set like most girls her age. She would have a prearranged marriage and later have numerous children. She would likely never travel very far from home, and later die in obscurity. However, that is not Mary’s story, she is the recipient of a special calling from God the Father and that she was to be the mother of our savior. Scripture Text: Luke 1:26-38
The book of Isaiah is the Bible in miniature. It has 66 chapters corresponding to the 66 books of the Bible. The first 39 chapters have a tone of judgment, and the last 27 chapters, like the New Testament, have a different focus. Something extraordinary happens at chapter 40 as the prophet introduces the savior. Scripture Text: Isaiah 40:1-11
It is a marvelous thing to be able to persuade an angry person from committing hurtful acts out of anger. It takes great tact and patience, but in so doing you both help the one who would be hurt and the angry person. Abigail could see the folly of David’s anger and she was able to persuade him of the harm that would come if he proceeded in carrying out his plan against Nabal. Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 25:1-44
David could have made his path to the throne quick and easy, but he chose not to take that path. We can learn something fundamental about why God was bringing in his kingdom the way he wanted and why David would be king in God’s time. Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 24:1-22
We best understand the Old Testament through the New Testament and vice-versa. For example, Jesus’ life, ministry, death and resurrection are echoed in this Old Testament story of David’s suffering. Understanding David’s story helps us understand Jesus’ story and the result is we do not lose heart because of our own sufferings.Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 23:15-29
The story of David’s life includes much suffering. We have seen that these chapters provide the background to many of the psalms, which speak vividly of suffering. The suffering is difficult for David to understand because he is God's anointed one, but he still suffers. Although it is far from clear to David how God's purpose for his life will be realized, it is obvious that David was the one after God's own heart. These chapters are about his suffering. Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 23:1-14
