Buy The Truth

The Twelve Apostles #4 - Jesus Loved Them To The End These were my introductory comments when I originally wrote out this message: I preach once a week at the Gospel Mission. This past week, I was having a hard time deciding what to preach on. There were two themes that were competing with each other in my mind, and I could not decide which one I would actually preach on Friday (thinking that I needed to choose between the two). The choice was either between continuing my series on The Apostles , or preaching a message on The Love Of God . As the week progressed the second theme took on more of a preeminence, but I was still desiring to build upon the prior messages on the apostles. Friday morning came, and the decision was now at hand. I found some excellent material that supplemented the love of God - but as I was meditating on it and sharing it with my sister, and expressing my dilemma, I was reminded of John 13 again, which I had touched down upon somewhat in my message on Bold An...

To hear an adapted version of this study combined with The Armour Of God study preached in 2023, please click on the link below: Is Your Armour On? Sermon Is Your Armour On? So many Christians are concerned about wearing the armour of God (and rightly so), but there is so much unbiblical nonsense going around that it is rather disturbing. There is some truth and so much error taught in this area that many people will either get caught up in the false teachings and philosophies or avoid the issue altogether. This study will not be dealing with the whole armour (I have already written a study on that - The Armour Of God ), but will be dealing with one essential part that so many neglect. Ephesians 6:11-13 states: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Whe...

(To hear the audio of this sermon preached in church, please click on the title below) What Is Your Name? Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? 1. God’s Names: A name in the Bible is who a person is, what they represent, basically their character. Every time God revealed a new name to His people, He was showing them more of what He could do in their lives. He was showing them who He was, and what He could do for His people, in them, and through them. One of my favourite passages in the New Testament is: Romans 5:3-5 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is giv...

To hear this sermon preached in 2023, click on the title below: Arise, And Come Away Song of Solomon 2:13b Arise, My love, My fair one, and come away. The Lord is calling His children away from the world to fellowship with Himself. In this Song by Solomon, Jesus (pictured by King Solomon) is the believers' Beloved , and we are His love . (This distinction is clearly used all throughout this song.) In His eyes we are fair - in fact, in Song of Solomon 4:7 He praise His bride in stating, Thou art all fair, My love; there is no spot in thee. All true believers (who have placed personal faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, believing and receiving the Gospel according to 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) have been washed in the precious blood of the Lamb (1 Peter 1:18-19 and Revelation 1:5) and credited and clothed with the righteousness of Christ (Romans 10:4); therefore in the Lord's eyes there is no spot in them. When our Heavenly Father looks at His children, He sees them through the rig...

God Of Second Chances Sermon Audio Numbers In The Bible Series: Day 59 - The God Of Second Chances This is the story of a young man that failed the Lord miserably, and was later given a second chance. In Acts chapter 12, the apostle James was captured and beheaded by king Herod, and Peter was also imprisoned, facing a similar fate within a matter of days. But the Lord had other plans. He sent an angel to release Peter from prison, and Peter went to the house where the early church was having a prayer meeting on his behalf: Acts 12:12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying. As most reading this no doubt know that the apostle Paul (first called Saul) is a very prominent figure in the New Testament. Much of the book of Acts is taken up with him and those who were involved in his three missionary journeys. He was in Jerusalem with Barnabas. When they left there to head back to ...
