God wanted to be Israel’s King forever, but he knew that their sinful hearts would long for a human king. Therefore, God had Moses lay down three requirements for that future king. Read Deuteronomy 17:14-20. First, he was not to multiply his number of horses. That would turn his heart toward worldly Egypt. Second, he […]
This month, we have been looking at the Christ of Christmas. We noted that He is the second Person of the Trinity. We next examined many verses proving that He is God. Last week, we looked in detail at His humanity, the fact that He was the God/Man. This morning we are going to conclude […]
As we have sought to answer the question, “Who was the Christ of Christmas?”, we have looked at Christ’s part in the Trinity of God and at his deity, being God the Son. This morning, I want us to look at his humanity. What sort of human was this God/Man Jesus Christ? Steve Farrar, in […]
Who is the Christ of Christmas? O, we know some basic facts about Him, but exactly who was He? Is Jesus Christ the same Being as Jehovah God? How can He be the Son of God and Jehovah God at the same time? Last week we examined Scriptures that clearly describe God as a triune […]
For many people, Christmas is just a holiday. It is a time of lights, parties and giving of gifts. For religious people, Christmas is about the birth of Christ. However, many religious people know very little about the Christ of Christmas. Today we are going to begin a four-week series to answer the question, “Who […]
As Christians, we have a duty to obey government (v.1-7), we have a duty to love others (v.8-10), but we also have a duty to live godly (v.11-14). Godliness is not an option in the Christian life.

God gave hundreds of laws in the Old Testament Scriptures, but the Ten Commandments are at their core. They represent the mind and heart of God concerning right and wrong. God desires His creation to live like Him, and the Ten Commandments are the foundation. Transition Read Romans 13:8-10. In these three verses, Paul tells […]
The Bible makes it clear that we cannot work to earn salvation. God’s requirements for becoming a Christian are simply repentance and faith. When the Apostle James wrote, “faith without works is dead”, he was saying that works are the fruit of faith not the root of faith. All who have true faith in Christ […]
As Paul wrote, Nero was the wicked Emperor of Rome. His father died (40 AD) when he was three years old. In 49 AD, his mother became the fourth wife of her uncle Claudius the Emperor to try to get Nero on the throne. In 50 AD, she soon persuaded Claudius to adopt Nero as […]
Today, farmers use tractors to pull wagons, ploughs, cultivators, and other farm implements. Manufacturers rate the power of a tractor in horsepower. When I was a boy, our small farm tractor had 25 hp. Its pulling power was about the same as 25 horses. In Bible days, oxen and asses (donkeys) pulled the farm tools […]
