Preach the Word!

As Paul wrote of his personal history to the Galatians, he demonstrated that just as the Galatians experienced, he too found opposition from those who desired to compromise the gospel. Yet the apostle Paul and the rest of the apostles in Jerusalem refused. He knew the truth, guarded the truth, and preached the truth. Don’t […]

There were all kinds of encounters with David and Absalom, and their respective followers. None of it was coincidental. Everything was done according to the will of God, orchestrated through His sovereign power. Submit yourself to the mighty hand of God! Trust Him in all His sovereign power and wisdom. Trust your God to do […]

When Joseph received news about Mary’s pregnancy, he was given a word of comfort from God and the names to be given to His Son. Jesus is both the God-who-saves and God-with-us.

The same gospel that God used to do this work in Paul, God uses within us. As Paul wrote to the Romans, it is the power of God unto salvation, for the Jew first and also for the Greek (Rom 1:16). This is not a message from which we can stray! Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/preach-the-word/id1449859151?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aSveQvIs7SPHWB4UcmSUQ

When Absalom committed treason against his father David, it was horrible sin and betrayal against him. Yet David understood an important truth: all of it was allowed by God, being part of His discipline. Better for David to be in the hands of God, than turned over into the hands of sinful men. How we […]

Although jealousy can sometimes be bad, it can be good to be jealous for the benefit of someone else. The apostle Paul was this way with the churches he planted, as seen with the letter to the Galatians. These churches were leaving the Biblical gospel, distracted by other messages that led to destruction. How important […]

Fake forgiveness occurs when people walk through the motions of forgiveness, without having a righteous basis for it. It is forgiveness in appearance only, rather than in truth. This is what happened between David and his son Absalom. We need more than the appearance of forgiveness; we need the real thing! We only find it […]

When our hearts are hardened to God and His word, that is a sign of great danger! It is a sign that we might not even belong to God at all. There is only one way to be certain: examine yourself to see if you are in the faith. iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/preach-the-word/id1449859151?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aSveQvIs7SPHWB4UcmSUQ

In one of the saddest chapters in the Bible, we see what happens when sin is allowed to go unchecked. Tragedy and criminal turmoil break out in David’s family, with David doing and saying nothing about it. How we need to stop sin in its tracks! The earlier we confront it and take it to […]

Paul had to show tough love to the Corinthians, which was badly needed. We still need apostolic doctrine given in love, leading to obedience. iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/preach-the-word/id1449859151?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aSveQvIs7SPHWB4UcmSUQ
