In this final bulletin article about the phrase “God’s chosen people” as it pertains to the nation of Israel, I’m going to highlight some passages and verses that I have not addressed yet. In Ephesians, Paul speaks of a mystery that had been kept hidden (by God) from previous generations, but was being revealed by… Read More »
Children of Abraham pt. 3
This is my third bulletin article regarding the topic of “God’s chosen people” and where the nation of Israel really fits into that topic. I believe this to be very important, mostly because it is misleading to many Christians. Perhaps the biggest question you have is this: If the Jews really aren’t God’s chosen people—as… Read More »
Children of Abraham pt.2
: Did you read last week’s bulletin? If not, or if you don’t recall what I wrote, you should read that first, then come back to this one as a continuation of the same topic. Last week we read, “It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from… Read More »
Children of Abraham
: A conversation I had last week just before our service began seemed important. Afterward, I thought is would be good for all of us to revisit the topic of the Jews as God’s chosen people. Then today, the Lord reminded me what to write about as I was reading the story of Zacchaeus the… Read More »
Passover-Then and Now
The week leading up to the death of Jesus on the cross was Passover week. Passover is a festival the Lord commanded the Jews to celebrate in remembrance of what He did when bringing His people out of Egypt—the land of slavery. Each family had to sacrifice a one-year old lamb without blemish and paint… Read More »
The Holy Spirit Speaks
Two years ago, I started keeping a journal. In my life, I have never wanted to have one, never took the time to write in one, and frankly, thought they were useless. I knew I did not care to read about what I was thinking or doing at a younger age. But now I write… Read More »
The Father’s Love
“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” Those words are the cry of Jesus from the cross, to His Father. Jesus is asking, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” The significance of this incredible moment in history cannot be overstated, and should not be missed. Less than 24 hours earlier, Jesus was sharing His last… Read More »
A Miracle Of God.
In Romans 9, Paul wrote, “It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children.” (vs 6-7) What is Paul talking about? Paul was talking about being chosen. He was talking about being born again. He… Read More »
A Sacrifice Of Praise
Last Sunday I preached about the “sacrifice of praise”—a phrase that appears numerous times in the Bible, in one way or another. Having been saved and filled with the joy of the Lord, I always wondered why praise is considered a sacrifice. Well, it turns out to be a sacrifice—a hardship—of your flesh, not of… Read More »
The Sabbath Rest
It has been a long time since I last spoke about the Sabbath-rest in a sermon, or wrote about it in a bulletin article. It is mentioned many times in the Bible, most of them in the Old Testament. As you know, the Israelites had to rest on the Sabbath in obedience to the law.… Read More »
