Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ

There is a great temptation that exists when it comes to religion and godliness. There becomes a great temptation to just give me a set of rules. Just tell me what I need to do. Just give me the rules so that I know where I stand. We want the rules. It is easy for us to fall into such thinking. We ask questions that start with these words, “Do I have to….” “Do I have to” questions always are triggered from wanting to know what the minimum rules are to keep. In fact, over the last hundred years there have been attempts to try to boil down following Jesus into sets of rules. We can talk about the five steps of salvation. We might have heard about five acts of worship. We might hear about belonging to a church that has a certain set of characteristics. Now you might wonder what the problem is. The problem that can arise is that we focus on the rules and miss the reasoning and purpose. We can miss the intention of worship and just focus on doing five things. We can miss the purpose of salvation and only focus on certain actions. This is where the Pharisees are in the days of Jesus. They have paid attention to rules and missed the reasoning and purpose. We are going to see this problem and why it is so important in Matthew 12…

What does God want us to know about him? There are times when God is speaking with his people that he says, “You need to know this about me.” In Ezekiel 4-7 there is a staggering repetition made by the Lord to the people through the prophet Ezekiel. You will see this statement repeatedly made, “Then you will know I am the Lord.” In fact, God will say this 8 times in these chapters. So what does God want his people to know? More accurately, what is God going to do so that the people will know that he is the Lord? What God wants us to know about him and how he will get the world to know these truths is very important for our walk with God because it will draw us closer to our Father when we see his heart and his desire for us…

The prophecy of Ezekiel opens with a priest named Ezekiel living near the Chebar River in Babylon. He is there because God has used the Babylonian Empire to invade Judah twice up this point. The Babylonians have captured the nobles and the workers of the land in these two invasions. Even though Ezekiel and the exiles live in Babylon because of their sins, God is not done with his people and has important messages for them. These messages are going to show how God is going to transform his people and give them new hearts so that they can belong to him again…

Who does not like the idea of rest? The word simply brings positive feelings within us. Rest always sounds good. I just want to have some rest. The reason rest sounds so good is because we are weighed down by the burdens of life. Life is full of difficulties and hardships. Jesus has come into the world with the good news of rest. But there has been a problem. People’s expectations of Jesus are keeping them from coming to him. We noticed this in the first half of Matthew 11. People are rejecting Jesus because he is not doing what they want. But Jesus made the point that it did not matter how they came to the people, they had hearts that were not going to receive him. This is what leads Jesus to make a judgment proclamation in Matthew 11:20-24 and an invitation in Matthew 11:25-30. Let’s begin by reading Jesus’ judgment proclamation in verses 20-24…
