The Prophet And The Prostitute Series

Contributed by Matthew Black on Oct 12, 2019

Hosea 1 tells the story of how God told a prophet to marry a prostitute to show Israel her idolatry. In the symbolism of Hosea, God is the Prophet and we are the prostitute. In a very real sense, I am Gomer and so are you! We are unfaithful people who deserve God’s wrath, not his mercy.

OUTLINE 1. GOD’S LOVE IS UNDESERVING (1:1-3a). 2. GOD’S LOVE IS URGENTLY NEEDED (1:3b-9). 3. GOD’S LOVE IS UNRELENTING (1:10-2:1). Do you remember when you were a child? When children are small they run to their mother’s arms. We have little children all around here. Those arms of mama and ...read more

The Prophet And The Prostitute Series

Contributed by Matt Black on Oct 18, 2019

Why would God ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? What a shocking love story that ultimately points to the greatest love story in God’s Son laying down his life on the cross for an unworthy and unfaithful bride. In the symbolism of Hosea, God is the Prophet and we are the prostitute. What grace!

The Pouting Prophet Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 3, 2019

It is sad when someone gets to a place in life where the misery of others brings satisfaction. Rather than desiring repentance and restoration, a desire to see judgment can outweigh compassion.

The Pouting Prophet Jonah 4: 1-11 We have discovered an interesting journey while studying the book of Jonah. The prophet’s life was filled with several twists and turns after hearing the call to go to Nineveh. Initially making the decision to flee from God, Jonah soon discovered such an endeavor ...read more

Building Prophets

Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Jul 12, 2021

a prophet is never recognized for their worth in their own hometown

Mark 6:1-13 May the words of my mouth be acceptable to you, O Lord, and encourage us to be ‘sent out’ to spread the Good News. Amen. We heard in the Gospel: Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and ...read more

Prophetic History Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

The image is a unity, and one kingdom leads to another. It is no accident that the traditional interpretation, which has been the view of the church through all the centuries, takes these four kingdoms to be the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek, and Roman.

When the judge asked the man why he parked in a no parking zone, the man replied that the sign said, "Fine for parking." Most of the mistakes made in life are due to false interpretation of words and symbols. We read into to words what is not intended by their author. When Jesus said ...read more

Fulfilling The Prophets

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 5, 2021

Jesus' Deity is confirmed by His fulfillment of many of the Old Testament prophecies about the coming Messiah. However, He did not fulfill them all and that was on purpose. The fulfillment of some of the prophecies is yet to come, and, they WILL be fulfilled.

Fulfilling the Prophets Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The Greatest Prophet Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

The Prophets say such high and lofty things, for they are speaking for God. Jesus, however, did not speak for God, but as God. He was the very voice of God, and when people heard His Word, they were hearing God speak, and not just His spokesman.

F. F. Bruce in his commentary on Hebrews concludes (Jesus) "is the prophet through whom God has spoken His final word; He is the priest who has accomplished a perfect work of cleansing for his people's sin; He is the King who sits enthroned in the place of chief honor alongside the ...read more

Soothsayer Or Prophet

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 17, 2020

Sometimes it may look like a duck, walk like a duck and quack like a duck, but it is not a duck. Therefore we need to duck false prophets and their message.

Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because ...read more

The Better Prophet Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 2, 2022

The prophecy in Deuteronomy 18 pointed to Jesus being a prophet like unto Moses, but we don't often think of Jesus as being a prophet - let alone a better prophet than Moses. Why is Jesus, as a prophet, important to us?

I am going to give you 5 true statements about a Bible character, and then I’ll ask you WHO I’m referring to. When he was born – the people of Israel were under the control of a foreign nation. When he was a newborn, his life was in danger from a powerful King. He came to save his people. He went ...read more

When we come to the prophet Haggai, we come to a new era.

Many of the prophets can be considered independent prophets because they dealt with the kingdoms of Israel or Judah. These prophets spoke words of condemnation to: • The Political leaders that led people from God • The Priesthood that led people from God • The Nations that had turned people from ...read more
