PA508 Psalm 78:49-72 mp3 In this message, we conclude our study of Psalm 78.

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.

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 […]

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.

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?

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.
