3d ago40:05

40:05

In Titus chapter 2, Paul lays out the qualities and characteristics of the biblical woman. He gives instruction on how they are to conduct themselves, as well as instruction relevant to their God given role. Although men and women have different roles in God's plan for the church and the family, they are equally as important, and it is essential fo…

DEATHBED WISDOM – Proverbs 5 – 10-20-24 52:51

10d ago52:51

52:51

We have noted how the entire book of Proverbs by design is an exposition of the 5th commandment (Ex20:12) “Honor your father & your mother...”. Properly applied within the covenant home, Solomon demonstrates that to obey this commandment is to obey them all. In this way, the framework of Proverbs presents an exhortation to all parties in society. I…

TREASURY BONDS – Psalm 133 – 10-13-24 54:32

16d ago54:32

54:32

The poetic imagery of this song evokes the beauty and blessings of condescension. Anointing oil poured from above, dew falling, as it were, from on high and appearing at the mountain of God where heaven touches earth. Ps 133 expounds in metaphor the precious gift of the God-glorifying communion of the saints. David compares the gift of brotherly lo…

SACRED HONOR – I Corinthians 6:1-11 – 10-6-24 54:51

24d ago54:51

54:51

Yet today, despite the moral degradation of our society, in a court room the judge is referred to as “Your Honor”, to acknowledge the solemn duty and sacred authority of justice. If order breaks down at any point in the court proceedings, what does the judge do? He takes up the gavel (symbolic of his authority) and strikes the desk, reminding the c…

In 1 Timothy chapter 3, Paul lays out the qualifications required for churchleadership. These are the standards set forth for a man to be in a position ofauthority in the church.

BAPTISM AT GILGAL – Joshua 3:1-13 – 9-22-24 49:45

1M ago49:45

49:45

The concept of baptism precedes the New Testament church. If we told someone from the promised land generation of Israelites about our baptism here today, they would, no doubt, liken it to the events at Gilgal upon crossing the Jordan river into the promised land of Canaan. Likewise, we can greater appreciate their experience in light of our servic…

LIFE PRECONDITIONS – Proverbs 4 – 9-15-24 59:52

1M ago59:52

59:52

Today's sermon title is derived from several verses in Proverbs chapter 4 which reveal the connection between the wellbeing of the student of wisdom and what the wise father endeavors to teach him.

PRICELESS COMMANDS – Proverbs 3:21-35 – 8-18-24 59:59

2M ago59:59

59:59

Depending how you mark them, we have in our text today, the 5th extended “My son” oracle of Proverbs. The parallels between the book of Proverbs and the 10 commandments (Ex 20:1-17) abound and this passage is no exception. Like the Law of Moses, Solomon's instructions here contain 8 prohibition statements. The corrigible son is exhorted in the 5th …

LIKE A WEANED CHILD – PSALM 131 – 8-11-24 56:52

3M ago56:52

56:52

As an ascent of David, Ps 131 is remarkably and appropriately brief. The length serves as a poetic device to emphasize the psalmist's main idea. If David were to go on and on expressing lengthy lamentations or desperate appeals, the form would contradict the theme. As it stands in its beautiful simplicity, the tone of Ps 131 breathes a sigh of peac…

FOOLS FOR CHRIST – I Corinthians 4:9-20 – 8-4-24 56:43

3M ago56:43

56:43

The occasion of Paul's opening remarks in I Cor chapters 1-4 came by way of distorted views of the nature of the church and her leadership. Many in Corinth had a corrupted view of the identity of church influencers and the relationship between these men and the church generally speaking. In writing to correct these errors, Paul is provided opportun…

EXISTENTIAL HOPE – Psalm 130 – 7-14-24 55:29

4M ago55:29

55:29

We are quite familiar with the term 'existential threat' these days. This term is appropriate with respect to our guilt before a holy God. The existential hope published & heralded in Ps 130 is indeed our only prayer and this hope is unto eternity. In terms of this song, ‘forever’ is not hyperbole. The weight of anguish the author associates with h…

WORD TO THE WISE – Proverbs 2-1-11 – 6-23-24 53:17

4M ago53:17

53:17

Our working definition for Biblical Wisdom is: "The communicable attribute of God equipping His people with skills for the art of Godly living". Proverbs Chapter 2 contains the second “My Son” oracle in the book of wisdom literature. Here Solomon makes great use of the 'father to son' literary device in disclosing the virtues of legitimate wisdom. …

5M ago58:26

58:26

Psalm 129 addresses 2 groups of people: Israel and those who hate Zion. What ofthose who stand in the way of ascent? What should the nation do If Israel's enemies assail the peace andlivelihood of the land thereby disrupting temple worship? Ps 129 acknowledges the weakness and hardshipthe nation has endured and lifts a rallying cry of worship inspi…

TEMPLE VANTAGE POINT – I Corinthians 3:16-23 – 6-2-24 57:23

5M ago57:23

57:23

Writing to a church in peril, Paul expounds the implications of the indwelling Spirit for believers. If you are God's temple, what does that mean with reference to your relationship with the Lord? Furthermore, as the temple of God, how is your relationship to the fellowship and forces of this world affected? The tangled web of sinful motivations th…

MORAL SELF DEFENSE – Proverbs 1:8-19 – 5-19-24 56:13

5M ago56:13

56:13

The first “my son” oracle in Proverbs serves as a warning against the self destructive and deceptive nature of sin. Solomon takes as his example of wickedness, the plundering of innocent people.

A KING’S MANIFESTO – Proverbs 1:1-7 – 4-28-24 59:34

6M ago59:34

59:34

If Biblical wisdom can be defined as the communicable attribute of God equipping his people with skills for the art of godly living, then the book of Proverbs reveals this aspect of God’s nature according to a 4-part structure.

ASCENT APPLIED – Psalm 127 – 4-14-24 1:01:18

7M ago1:01:18

1:01:18

Solomon proclaims in Psalm 127 that ascending in any area of life is conditional upon “vigilant providence” (Elicotts commentary). That is the providence of God, not as a set of impersonal systems, but the proactive favor of the Lord. Consider this song in light of the calling of its author, Solomon, a man appointed to build the house of the Lord a…

RESURRECTION HISTORY – Ezekiel 37:1-14 – 3-31-24 51:21

7M ago51:21

51:21

Building on our theme from “Palm Sunday”, today we consider milestones marking the covenant history of the hope of life after death. Just as the message of Jesus' triumphal entry is magnified upon the realization of a prophetic pattern in scripture, so too is the message of resurrection. Since the advent of the curse there can be no gospel (good ne…

FORTUNES RESTORED – Psalm 126 – 3-10-24 1:00:28

8M ago1:00:28

1:00:28

Psalm 126 features a hope of ascent sufficient to endure trials of destitution and exile. This is a song fitting for the covenantal terms prophetically revealed by Moses in Dt 4: 25-31.

The vantage point of the mountains in proximity to Jerusalem serve as a stage for the proclamations (Mt. Sinai, Mt. Carmel) and purposes of God (Mt. Moriah, Calvary) throughout covenant history.

What was to be the basis for the same mind and judgment that would establish the unifying principle among believers in Corinth? Paul had received reports of schism within the church.

Much of Jacob’s life bore testimony to the grace of God in spite of his own frailties and failures.

There are advent connections to Psalm 123 to bracket our message today.

In Jacob's dying song we revisit a great theme of the book of Genesis: 'The Significant Son'. Remember the hope of Genesis 3:15? The woman's son would crush the serpents head.
