Matthew 12, reading from verse 38: Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You." But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because th… Continue reading...

So Mark chapter 15. What I aim to present to you this morning is the sobering reality that we often miss when we talk about the cross. We talk about the love of God demonstrated through His Son on the cross, and that's as true blue as you can imagine. But there's also an ugly side to the cross. The judgment of God was also thrust upon the Son. The weight of sin was cast upon the sinless One. We don't really talk about the excruciating circumstances of the cross in today's world because we live in a generation that is quite sensitive. They ar… Continue reading...

Galatians chapter number 4. And I'd like us to look together at verse number 21 to verse number 31. This is, in many ways, Paul's last argument before he moves into the practical, more applicable part of the epistle. We're going to consider verse 21 to 31 this morning. The Word of God reads, "Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the free wom… Continue reading...

He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light but came to bear witness about the light. The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

He was in… Continue reading...

Greetings from your brothers and sisters in Christ at Emanuel Baptist Church there in Glenwood. God has been very gracious and good to us.

And unlike you down here who are still very young as a church, Emanuel has had the privilege of being in the area where we are for over 50 years. I haven't been there for 50 years, obviously, but I've had the privilege of serving on staff there for about nine years. And we've been blessed by a season of growth in the life of our church. And we do pray for you. And we often hear u… Continue reading...

Galatians Chapter 4:17-20 reads, "They zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them. But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you. My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you."

Father, we come to You now, remembering that Your word is truth. And as our Lord Jesus prayed, so we pray als… Continue reading...

Galatians Chapter 4:8-16

Galatians 4:8 reads, "But then indeed, when you did not know God, you served those things which by nature are not gods." Verse 9 continues, "But now, after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain."

Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You… Continue reading...

Galatians 4:1-7 reads, "Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent … Continue reading...

Let us turn to Galatians Chapter 3, and we'll read together verses 26 through 29. "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."

Father, we ask now that You would send the Holy Spirit to teach us of our identity and of our unity tha… Continue reading...

'Jerusalem shall be inhabited as a village without walls because of the multitude of people and livestock in it. And I will be to her a wall of fire all around,' declares the Lord, 'and I will be the glory in her midst. Up, up, flee from the land of the north,' declares the Lord, 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens,' declares the Lord. 'Up, escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. For thus said the Lord of hosts, after His glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you tou… Continue reading...
