    Melchizedek – A Better King Series

    Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 8, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,021 views

    The author of Hebrews takes Melchizedek, a shadowy figure, and shows that he was a prototype of the Lord Jesus Christ - the true king of Righteousness

    Introduction If I asked you to name the most important people in the Old Testament I doubt that Melchizedek would be on your list, much less at the top. He appeared once, in Genesis 14 and he was referred once more, in Psalm 110. You could hardly call this “top billing,” but the Holy Spirit reached ...read more

    Dated 1985. Jesus saw that we live in a complicated age and are therefore called to love God with our minds as well as heart and soul and strength. Consider serious Biblical and theological study.

    In order for you to understand fully what I am about to say, you would need to know my wife, and moreover, you would need to visit our backyard and find out that my wife is a wild flower nut. Now you will be very careful to get exactly what I said. I did not say, exactly, that my wife has lost her ...read more

    To be poor in spirit means one is aware that he has less, not more, that he has to admit that he has less to have more and that he has to accept that he can only have more with God.

    There was an old woman begging in a street corner. A passer-by took pity on her. He was about to give when he noticed that she’s holding two cans. When he asked why, she answered, “Well, business is so good that I opened a new branch.” Seriously, I remember watching an episode of Imbestigador[1] ...read more

    Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,651 views

    The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

    SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

    The display that they gave Jesus in His triumphal entry proved to be superficial over the next few days. They praised Him at the beginning of the week and voted for His crucifixion on Friday of that same week.

    THE DAY OF VISITATION Text: Luke 19:28-44 In his book Strengthening Your Grip, Charles Swindoll made an interesting observation that is probably not so easily perceived very often---the difference between discipleship and prophecy. He said,"Christians all around the world will line up to ...read more

     | 1,846 views

    The Christian life is not believing in the cycle of birth but there is a cycle of redemption, a cycle of reformation, a cycle of resurgence and revival. I would like to leave with you three spiritual insights as Corrupted people, Compassionate God, and charismatic leaders in the cycle of redemption.
