    How to deal with difficult verses

    A. INTRODUCTION: WHY SOME VERSES ARE HARD 1. Because God is truthful, He wrote a Bible that is truthful. Truth is consistent with its self, and correlates with reality (the laws of nature). 2.

    This is on the Letter to Smyrna.

    This is the only mention in the Bible about the Church of Smyrna. Smyrna was very close to Ephesus, which we looked at last week. Paul likely started the church while he was in Ephesus for three years. Acts 19:10 says, “This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the ...read more

    Too many times, even modern believers allow the male-dominated nature of our traditions to overshadow the fact that God calls female leaders, too.

    The Bible is certainly a male-dominated book that reflects a male-dominated culture. Even if we separate the history in the Bible from World History, we see that human history is full of tales of testosterone-driven leaders using the force of military might, personal strength, and personal charisma ...read more

    This is one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible, “What time I am afraid I will trust in thee.”

    I looked back into my archives and saw where I preached from this same verse in 2013. We do not like to talk about our fears because they make us look weak, but everyone live with fear. However, it is not just the weak that live in fear, some great men live in fear. Illus: God said of Job’s ...read more
