John 1:1-3 ”In the Beginning Was the Logos”

In today's episode we look at the purpose of the 4th Gospel and some distinct features.  Then we begin the Prologue and see that Jesus Christ is indeed God and was with the Father in the Beginning. 

A Year-End Inventory

As one year ends and another begins, it's always appropriate to evaluate where we are in relation to God and our fellow man.  Join us today as we go over 10 different items on our year-end "check-list". 

CHRISTMAS MUSICAL 12-19-2021

Galatians 4:1-7 ”Not a slave, but a son”

Paul writes to the Galatians who are facing the temptations of legalism.   The law is merely a schoolmaster to bring one to Christ.  The "Christmas" story is about God sending forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law.  Furthermore, God wasn't just looking for servants, but sons! 

Matthew 1: ”The King of Grace”

Matthew's Gospel opens with the earthly lineage of Jesus Christ and also shows the Divine origins of Jesus' birth.   The Virgin Birth is an absolutely essential component of the Gospel.   Jesus is the only individual that was both fully God and fully man.   His earthly ancestors were far from perfect.  We see a cast of characters that remind us that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God".  But thankfully, we serve a King of Infinite Grace.   Glory be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the only True King!!! 

Joshua 2: ”Christmas in Jericho”

As Joshua plans to enter and possess the land given to them by the LORD, he first sends out two spies to assess the situation.   The Providence of God leads the spies to the house of a harlot named Rahab.   This Canaanite prostitute will go from the "hall of shame" to the "hall of faith".  Join us for today's episode as we explore the faith of Rahab.

2 Samuel 12: ”I am the Man”

In today's message we follow up to David's adultery with Bathsheba and subsequent murder of her husband Uriah.  The LORD sends Nathan the prophet to confront David with his sin and inform him of the dire consequences of his actions.   David finds grace and forgiveness upon his true contrition and confession of sin.  There will be however, many sorrows that will befall David and his family in the coming days, weeks, and years.  Let us learn from this example! 

2 Samuel 11: ”The Giant David Could Not Kill”

In today's episode, we revisit this all-too-familiar story about King David.  At the time that kings go out to battle, David remains at home.  From his rooftop he sees the beautiful woman Bathsheba.  He wants her for himself...but she is married to one of his mighty men, Uriah.  David will make a series of choices with irreversible consequences.   May we learn from his example today.  We are reminded of Paul's words to the Corinthians:  "1Co 10:12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. " (KJV)

Matthew 13: ”The Parable of the Sower and the Soils”

In today's episode we look at the "parable of parables".   We often wonder why see such negative or little response when we share the Word.  Jesus helps us to understand that the different soils in the parable represent the different kinds of heart response to the Gospel.  We also see that not everyone who immediately responds with joy will persevere to the end.

Ruth 4: 9-22 ”Better Than Seven Sons”

As we conclude our study of the book of Ruth, we see the progression of our characters.  Ruth has gone from outsider.... to ancestor of the Messiah!  We also see a dramatic role of reversal for Naomi.  She goes from "bitter" to "blessed".  We often speak of the love story between Ruth and Boaz, but here we see the love story between Naomi and Jehovah!   Boaz has fulfilled all the obligations of the "Go'el" (Kinsman Redeemer).   He is a type of the Ultimate Kinsman Redeemer...the LORD Jesus Christ!
