    The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou ...read more

    The Day Jesus Came To Church Series

     | 7,524 views

    When we come to church, remember to get to the right focus - God, and get to the right agenda - prayer, communion with God.

    We are looking at a rare glimpse of Jesus today – His anger over something He is passionate about. It pays for us to take note. If it can drive Him to behave in such a way, it must be something we need to take note of today. The Temple was a good thing. God commanded the people of Israel to ...read more

    Psalms as praise - planned, instant, automatic. The psalms help us to offer praise...OT commandment...Praise has a cost

    Psalms of Praise /Sacrifice of Praise Last week we had a very light overview of the Psalms, not in content of genera but in general. The big idea was that when we read the Psalms we are looking at the Temple hymnal. We also focused on the idea that when we read poetry in scripture we need to ...read more

    Jesus shares with Nicodemus the need to be born again as the basis for righteousness, spirtual perception, and eternal life.

    VERSES 1-2 A Visit at night Nicodemus approaches Jesus by night. We need to remember that in the days before electricity people did not usually run around at night. There are only two assumptions we can make about Nicodemus visiting Christ at night and both of them are reasonable. First, that ...read more

    the church has been conflicted for centuries whether we should make oaths or not. What does this passage teach us about oaths?

    Should We Make Oaths? Matthew 5:33-37 This passage is another demonstration of the problem with the teaching of the Scribes and Pharisees. As we have noticed throughout the study, the failure of the Pharisees was more than a failure to practice what they preached. The problem is that they were ...read more

    Being a priest is an AWESOME PRIVILEGE and AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY. Leviticus 8-10 is the ordination of Aaron and the death of Nabab and Abihu. In the NT, we are all priests!

    Me? A Priest? Selections from Leviticus 8-10 My wife’s grandmother was a woman who always spoke her mind. When my then-fiancee told her grandmother that she was going to marry a minister, the crusty old woman said, “Marry a priest? I wouldn’t do that! You can do that if you want, but I would never ...read more
