     | 6,747 views

    Nadab & Abihu serve as examples of what happens when we trivialize God and begin to live as if God doesn’t matter. Thank God for the grace that saves us from the consequences of our sin.

    The story of Nadab and Abihu is not one of the most prominent in the Bible. - Unlike Samson last week, not one of those commonly taught in Sunday School. - Not in many people’s top 10 list. Some are probably thinking “Nadab & Abi-who?” The Hebrews had just been led out of Egypt. They had followed ...read more

    Jesus’ followers are to submit to His Lordship and do His will. If we are to submit ourselves to the Lord, we must begin with a broken, teachable spirit. That teachable spirit is described for us in the "beautiful words," the Beatitudes"

    The Blessing of Brokeness (Matt. 5:1-6?) Intro 1. We all have our dreaded moments: medical tests, standing on the scale, childbirth, sea-sickness, nursing home…. 2. One of my dreaded moments is beginning right now—preaching through the Sermon on the Mount…. 3. The Sermon on the Mount contains ...read more

    Funeral service for Kathleen Brown Hardman, adult learner and president of a Sunday School class designed for beginning Bible students. Curiosity is good; curiosity for the Bible is better; a thirst for the life offered in the Bible is best.

    The portrait says it all. A triumphant face, not especially youthful, but in a cap and gown, the symbols of academic achievement. The portrait says, “I’ve done it. I’ve learned something.” Whose is this smiling face? Is this some malingerer, who put off, for far too long, getting her basic ...read more

    We must realize the truth that 1. We all begin as ugly people. 2. We have the beauty of God stamped on our souls. 3. God offers to make us new people.

    The 6th Word from the Cross. Jesus has accomplised what only he could. In him we have an ending and a beginning. This was preached at a service of believer’s baptism for 3 young people.

    Today, as we approach Easter, we come to the 6th Word from the Cross. The 6th thing Jesus said as he hung there, in the last few moments before he died... ‘It is finished’. What did Jesus mean by that? What is finished? Does he mean, It’s over and done with? Well that’s definitely what the Romans ...read more
