PA508 Psalm 78:49-72 mp3 In this message, we conclude our study of Psalm 78. The Lord concluded His punishment on Egypt by the terrible plague on the firstborn, after which He brought His people out of that land. He brought them into the promised land of Canaan and cast out the nations before them. Yet […]

PA507 Psalm 78:21-48 mp3 In this message, we continue this psalm of Asaph, perhaps written as some from the northern kingdom of Israel were arriving at Jerusalem for Hezekiah’s great Passover. They are reminded of Israel’s history of unfaithfulness. After He saved them from Egypt, they complained against Him in the wilderness that He was […]

PA506 Psalm 78:10-20 mp3 In this message, we begin a psalm of Asaph, perhaps written on the occasion of Hezekiah’s Passover, when many Israelites from the northern kingdom came down for the first time to celebrate the feast at Jerusalem. The psalm reminds them of Israel’s history to graciously urge them to turn back to […]

PSA292 The Malta Omission mp3 When Paul proclaimed the Word wherever he went, he healed those who came to him, and proclaimed the gospel. Yet oddly, when on the island of Malta, he healed all who came to him, but we have no record that he proclaimed the gospel. What should we make of this […]

PA505 Psalm 77:1-20 mp3 In this message, we consider another psalm of Asaph. This time, in a time of great trouble (perhaps the Assyrian invasion), he cries out to God for help. At first, simply remembering God’s great acts of the past do not help, since He is not doing those acts now in this […]

PSA291 The Wild Olive Graft mp3 While much of the Acts period was focused on Israelites around the world, there were also Gentiles who believed in Jesus Christ. What was the position of these? How did they fit into the company of believers in the Acts period. How do they compare to believers of today? […]

PA504 Psalm 75:1-76:12 mp3 In this message, Asaph in Psalm 75 warns God’s enemies and encourages God’s people, following up on the desecration of the last psalm. God speaks in light of His coming kingdom. Then, in Psalm 76, a song of triumph over a Divinely-smitten foe answers the question of Psalm 74, fulfills the […]

PSA290 The Mid-Acts View mp3 Our view that the dispensation of grace in which we live began at Acts 28:28 is not the only view held by advanced dispensationalists. Some have taken a view between standard dispensationalism and ours, calling themselves mid-Acts dispensationalists or Pauline dispensationalists. In this message we discuss the mid-Acts view, what […]

PA503 Psalm 74:1-23 mp3 In this psalm, the temple is desecrated and the land invaded by a foreign power. Yet which event at what time was this? We reject the idea of some modern critics that it was the time of the Maccabees and Antiochus Epiphanes. Yet when was it, then? The Babylonian captivity and […]

PSA289 The Unique, Acts Period Believer mp3 The believer in Jesus Christ of the Acts period was in a far different situation and position than the believer of today. He was part of an Israelite company of believers. He had entered into the kingdom of God. He had believed after seeing signs and wonders. He […]
