Seven Sundays To Easter: Behold, Your King Comes To You! Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 4, 2021

Just a few days before Passover, our Lord rode into Jerusalem riding a donkey. The people with Him knew exactly what was going on but some of the people in Jerusalem asked, "Who is this?"

Introduction: This event, the “triumphal entry”, is recorded in all four of the Gospels. Each author has similar but not identical information; among other things this proves they didn’t get together to create some “talking points” or too-close-to-be-a-coincidence narrative. Matthew and John were ...read more

Walk In His Ways (1 Kings 2)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 13, 2025

How similar are David's words to those of Jesus in one respect? Let's look at 1 Kings 2.

Was David’s advice to Solomon similar to what Jesus taught in the sermon on the mount? Let’s look at 1 Kings 2. What advice did David give to his son Solomon in his last days? Now the days of David drew near that he should die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying: “I go the way of all the ...read more

Rapid Advance Of The Gospel Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 6, 2024

Thessalonica was a wonderful testimony to a rapid advance approach to ministry. Paul mentions being there three sabbaths (Acts 17:2). There were many who were won to Christ and built up in faith in this short time before the team, Paul, Silas and Timothy moved on.

My wife and I took part in a nine-month ministry training program called Rapid Advance. The name of the training came from this chapter and from a summary of how the Gospel moved in the book of Acts. Paul did not spend his years of ministry planting a single church and trying to perfect it. He ...read more

The Old Testament Background For Jesus' Teachings About Discipleship (Discipleship Intro)

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 6, 2025

Understanding the relationship of rabbi to disciple – and what discipleship entailed – will help us to better understand Jesus’ teachings because they help us better understand the teacher (Jesus) and His most frequent audience (the disciples).

The Old Testament Background for Jesus' Teachings About Discipleship I Kings 19:19-21,Luke 9:57-62, Matthew 19:21, and Luke 5:27 Intro A lot of ignorance about discipleship primarily because interpreters isolate the New Testament teaching from its Old Testament context. Main Idea: ...read more

Come Unto Me: An Exposition Of Matthew 11:16-30

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 27, 2020

Jesus' invitation to come to Him has an "or else" component to it.

Come Unto Me: An Exposition of Matthew 11:16-30 The Gospel lectionary text selection for what is called Proper 9, seems at first to be quite odd. The selections are Matthew 11:16-20 and 11:25-30, leaving out what is between. The first selection talks about the people rejecting the message of both ...read more

"a Matter Of Life And Death"

Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 3, 2020

In preparing for funeral services I will ask the question, do you have a scripture passage in mind that you would like for me to read or do you simply want me to select one? And over 90% of the time they will say yes, “Psalm 23.”

“A Matter of Life and Death" Psalm 23:1-6 When we set out for Thanksgiving with our children it was 73 degrees here in Florida but as I flew to Memphis and then traveled to St Louis all in one day the temperature had dropped to 13 degrees. Clearly that’s why most of us love Florida. Then as ...read more
