The other night, I awoke in the wee hours of the morning and was made to think of my mortality. Though saved, I was still troubled at the thought. This message is a result of that "fresh" awareness. May you find comfort. If you are lost, I pray that you will be prepared to face God.
Let us discover what Jesus said. The proper interpretation will remove any doubts regarding the biblical prescription for salvation and eliminate any possible credence to other religions which prescribe multiple steps to be saved.
It is my objective to consider the candlestick as found in our text; discern the proper interpretation and discover some practical applications. May we be better servants of Jesus Christ and better church members.
Sometimes we think we are untouchable or invincible. I have heard Christians say, "I would never do that!" I submit, there is great danger in that type of attitude. Let us look into II Chronicles 24 and learn from the life of Joash the king of Judah.
If you could do anything you desire, what would it be? Now, ask yourself, is that desire a right desire? Though we will consider the first part, my focus today will be on the last part of the verse.
It is my objective to speak on the subject of giving in an attempt to eliminate any questions regarding my views on biblical giving.
There are many views of religion. But the question is, "Is your belief what God tells us to believe?" In other words, "Is your way, God's way?" Our text gives us the precious truth about God's way.
It is my objective to remind you of the gift of God. If you have received this gift, then count it all joy and rejoice over it. If you have not yet received it, then mourn over it and seek to receive it.
My objective is to cause you to focus on the abominations to God. It is further my intention, as we survey these verses, that you would search your own heart and life. May God stir His people to pursue a life of holiness.
It is my desire to note the story overall, then, to hone in on those responsible for bringing the man to Jesus; uncovering a few lessons on missions and evangelism.
