    Barley harvest--springtime--may not be the time when people think about Thanksgiving Day meals. During Elisha's day, a pair of miracles made a small meal into a real feast!

Introduction: What do you think of when you’re pondering a Thanksgiving Day meal? For many years, it’s a more or less American ...read more

    Ahaz: Maybe The Worst Father Ever? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 27, 2023
     | 1,655 views

    Who is the worst father in the Bible? It's hard to say but Ahaz, son of Jotham and king of Judah, might rank among the worst of the worst.

    Introduction: the Bible has examples of good fathers and also bad ones. When it comes to the worst, Ahaz would be hard to beat. He had a good beginning but a terrible end. What a powerful lesson for every man, especially every father. The father of Ahaz was Jotham, son of Azariah/Uzziah, one of ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 29, 2023
     | 1,522 views

    Elijah and a good number of others were mentioned in the Bible, but not the names of their fathers! The world may not know them, but the Lord does, and for many of us that's good enough.

    Introduction: some of the best fathers in the Bible were never named. It would be impossible to list them all, but every one of them can take comfort that if their children lived and died as believers in the LORD, they did not live in vain. Here’s a tribute to some of them: 1 The fathers of the ...read more

     | 1,019 views

    Romans 12 has two important commands for each and every believer. Paul gave two of them in the first two verses.

    Introduction: Paul’s letter to the Romans is a classic piece of Scripture. Alva J, McClain and perhaps others noted how Paul made four basic divisions: condemnation, salvation, vindication, and exhortation. Chapter 12 begins the final section and indeed begins with a word of exhortation to these ...read more

    Many schools, where I live, begin the academic year in August. Not very many students understand, though, that there is a final exam at the end of this year in spring. In the same way, we believers will have a final exam when we stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

    (Based on a message preached August 6, 2023 at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription). Introduction: Have you noticed that some things change?

     | 1,616 views

    The book of 2 Timothy is Paul's last letter. In chapter 4 Paul gives what could be called his last message to Timothy. Look for the four types of disciples Paul mentions in verses 9-11.

    (Based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription) Introduction: Paul had been convicted and sentenced to death. Before this happened, though, he wrote this second letter to Timothy. In keeping with our August “back-to-school” theme, we could say that ...read more
