    The Temple Of Doom

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 18, 2025
     | 396 views

    The original Temple of Doom has nothing to do with Indiana Jones, but with the biblical Hercules SAMSON, who, despite blindness, with one blow, took out more Philistines in his death than in his life!

    THE TEMPLE OF DOOM Judges 16:18-30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Two men who lived in a small village got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So they decided to talk to the town sage.

    Jesus has reached the point of no return – the cross was going to be inevitable. However, despite the fact that it is Judas who is betraying Him Jesus still calls Judas “friend”. Such actions help us to know what to do when we are betrayed.

    The Pharisees wanted to use the Sabbath to trap Jesus and accuse Him of wrongdoing. Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath to honour God and do good, which is the true purpose of the Sabbath. He obeys the will of God and does what is right despite the opposition.

    GOD IS STILL GOD! Despite all the arguments of atheists, all the denials of some scientists, the opposition of governments, and the mocking of the “learned,” God is still God. He overthrows nations and sets up gov’ts who will uphold His order.

    We often struggle to see beyond our immediate challenges, yet Nahum was able to perceive something greater. His deep understanding of God's Grace allowed him to see beyond his immediate circumstances and emotions.

    I want to focus on the powerful message found in the first four words of Nahum 1:7: "The Lord is good." Although the book of Nahum can be challenging to read and preach from, it is important to note that the minor prophets' messages are just as significant as those of the major prophets. The book ...read more
