Some reflections on Palm Sunday

TSJ 2019 Palm Sunday 2019 This morning’s Gospel reading relates the beginning of one of the most momentous weeks in Antiquity – usually accepted to have been in AD 29. Indeed in my opinion it is the most important week in history. We know the story of Palm Sunday so well that it is hard to ...read more

Who Is This Man?

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 21, 2017

As Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles, whispers spread throughout the crowd. Although unsure He was even present, Jesus became the topic of discussion. Many wondered about this man who He truly was. We too must decide who Jesus is.

Who is this Man? John 7: 1-13 Our text deals with events that happened during the Feast of Tabernacles. This was a time of celebration and thanksgiving. Along with Passover and Pentecost, the Feast of Tabernacles was one of three pilgrimages the Jews took to Jerusalem each year. While the Feast ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 27 – Persecution And Oppression Against God’s People – Wicked Schemes - Chapter 3:58-60 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 25, 2025

We see increasing oppression and persecution in the world against God’s own, especially right now in Africa. Wicked schemes and godlessness increase. Jeremiah had to face the same evils and we look at verses dealing with this. Godly Christians WILL face persecution.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 27 – PERSECUTION AND OPPRESSION AGAINST GOD’S PEOPLE – WICKED SCHEMES - CHAPTER 3:58-60 Jeremiah pleads his case with the Lord and that we saw last time. He was delivered from the lowest pit and similar experiences met David, Jonah and the Lord. We looked at them. ...read more

Contributed by Michael Collins on Jun 13, 2021

This is the 16th of 30 studies on the Book of Romans and talks about the fact that God had chosen the people of Israel for a very special purpose.

Romans 9:1-5 1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, 4 who ...read more

Hosts Of Wickedness In High Places

Contributed by Greg Burcham on Aug 28, 2021

For all of my life, I have viewed the United States of America as the greatest country on the face of the earth. Our country has been blessed by God with great resources and a great Christian heritage. But last week we saw our government fail on an epic scale.

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Focus On The Almighty

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 29, 2022

Psalm 139 is an incredible psalm, one of the best. Most of the psalm focuses on the omni characteristics of God. But these verses are not just the psalmist waxing eloquent, these verses are truths about God.

1. Focus on the Omniscience of God (v. 1-6) First, God knows you (v. 1). He knows everything about you, every detail of your life. He is not searching and knowing you presently, He has already searched and known everything about you. God knows your actions (“thou knowest my downsitting and mine ...read more

"too Much Of A Good Thing" Series

Contributed by John Huyser on Jul 18, 2023

Blessed with the Spiritual Gifts of faith knowledge and perseverance, Ephesus' greatest strengths led to their greatest weakness. Indeed, you can have too much of a good thing when love is absent.

On The Sabbath Series

Contributed by Peter Baumgartle on Apr 5, 2022

Everybody is religious. Many make up their own rules - about worship, about money, about sex, about the environment, about politics. Jesus isn't the Messiah many want Him to be. The Pharisees plotted to kill him. People today reject Him and dismiss Him and ignore Him. Are you a Pharisee?

ON THE SABBATH MATTHEW 12:1-2 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” Question: ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022

There are two ways we can witness for the Lord Jesus.

(1) THROUGH LIFE-STYLE EVANGELISM Perhaps some might be saying, “WHAT IS LIFE-STYLE EVANGELISM?” It is simply living the Christian life in front of the lost in such a Christ-like manner, that the lost will want to know Christ also.

Rekindling The Passion

Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008

In these verses we see a group of people who have come out from the spiritual honeymoon period. And there are three things that Jesus says to these church members at Ephesus that I believe He wants to say to us.

You know, for every sort of relationship there is a honeymoon period, a time when everything is lovey-dovey and wonderful. All sorts of differences are overlooked during this time. All words are spoken kindly. Every consideration is given to the other party. It’s just a nice and peachy time. ...read more

I Am Amazed

Contributed by Howard Parnell on Sep 17, 2002

The power and love of Jesus Christ over Satan and this world continue to amaze me.

I AM AMAZED Luke 4:31-36 INTRO. I have been frightened several times, startled many times and stunned a few times; but I am amazed each time I read in the Holy Book about the love, compassion and power of the Son of God.

Encourages us to seek our success not in stuff, but in pursuing God’s Kingdom.

Seek First the Kingdom! MT 6:24-34 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
