Sermon Update 6.25.21. What does Scripture mean when it says "Yahweh is love"? What is love anyway? It's important that we allow the text to speak for itself rather than trying to add in any philosophical or cultural definitions. Love is a powerful thing; to distort it is detrimental.

Sermon Update 7.18.21.In some Bibles the "Thine is the kingdom" benediction is missing at the end of the Lord's Prayer. Why do these Bibles leave it out? Is the devil in the details? Listen to learn some points concerning Biblical textual criticism, as well as some pointers in talking to King James Only proponents. 

Sermon Updated 6.18.21. The law of Yahweh is wonderful and true, but it's also true that we've all broken His law. Our relationship with Yahweh is based upon His compassion towards us not on how good we are. If He dealt with us as we deserve we'd be put to death on the spot. Listen to learn of His love for His children.

Sermon Update 5.4.21. When we pray, "Our Father... lead us not into temptation," does that mean Yahweh does sometimes lead us into temptation? What exactly is it we are praying for? Life is a series of tests, and we are to pray for spiritual victories throughout. We can't expect to win the battle on our own. We need a helper. 

Sermon Update 4.27.21. This lesson falls on the heals of my Daily Bread and Forgiveness sermon (in the Sermon on the Mount series). I look more at the idea of Yahweh repaying us in return of how we treat others, and then I move into the issue of people walking in unrepentance. It's sometimes taught that we have to forgive others even when they don't repent, but is this proper?

Sermon Update 4.20.21. We are to ask Yahweh to supply our needs and be thankful for all that He gives us. This is a daily thing, and so is forgiveness. We must have a genuine sense of indebtedness to Yahweh, seeing He has forgiven us of so much and been a compassionate Mighty One. This should flow over into our interactions with our neighbor. We should be just as forgiving toward them as Yahweh has been toward us.

Sermon Update 3.21.21. I use this lesson to give a brief overview of the series and then I go into answering some questions and objections I've received. What about the blessings of Deuteronomy 28? Doesn't the modern symbol of a snake on a pole suggest sorcery? Are we just teaching people to pop pills instead of living healthy? All this and more is touched on.

Sermon Update 3.14.21. Is it a lack of faith if we seek a doctor for our healing? What about modern medicines? Does Yahweh work through medication, or does He only want us to pray to Him for our betterment? What about mental health and vaccinations? Listen to hear answers to all of these questions, and more.

Sermon Update 3.12.21. Sometimes Christians say or think that we really shouldn't grieve but rejoice when a believing loved one dies. Is that the proper response? Are we allowed to feel sad or destitute when bad things happen? Is it better to feast or to mourn?

Sermon Update 2.20.21. Why is a baby born still? Why do people have life altering or ending accidents? Why do we get old and die? These are million dollar questions for the believer, but the Scripture does not leave us entirely in the dark. Listen to learn about creation's subjection, as well as two testimonies that will help you endure life's trials and pain.
