Many people think there are many roads but they all lead to the same God. To this, I must disagree. It is my objective to look into part of Paul's message to the Jews, recognizing there is one Gospel or one way of salvation, and then defining what that way is.
It is my objective to address the subject of hate as presented in the Bible. This is not an exhaustive study. But, I hope to gain your attention and cause you to look for the biblical remedy to hate.
My objective is to examine our text, glean its truths, and make personal application. Perhaps, by God's grace, we will never be guilty of murder, but that the attitudes which lead to it, will also be eliminated.
Our text focuses on Christ and emphasizes His work. Then, the impact of Jesus and His provision is made clear. It is my desire to speak to you from this text concerning "this Christ."
My friends, we live in a cold, dark, world. Our society reflects the prophecy that the "love of many shall wax cold." It is my objective to consider our response to those around us, by looking into our passage, and gleaning the truths which teach us to show love and kindness.
We often hear about famine in certain areas around the world. But, I submit, a greater famine exists, that of the Word of God. My objective is for each of us to have a greater desire for the Word. May we read it, study it, love and cherish it.
As we begin a new year, I propose that we not only need to look forward, but also backward, in some degree. Have you learned from past experiences? At the same time, be careful not to live in the past. Before we reflect back and look ahead, may we glean some lessons from the Apostle Paul.
We come now to the final part of my mini-series on the core event of this holiday season. Today, it is my intention to discuss the child born of Mary. After all, He is the crux of the matter. Without Him, there is nothing special about the story and nothing spectacular about this birth. I have talked about Mary and Joseph, now I would like to mention Jesus.
Despite your view of Christmas, the world remembers the birth of Jesus. It is indeed a fact, Jesus was born of virgin Mary. It is my intention to discuss three individuals and the important roles they play. Today, I mention Joseph.
We come to the Christmas time of the year. It is my objective to consider three people, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. It is my desire to read a little of what the Bible has to say about them, and in the end of it all, contemplate what it means for this time of year.
