September 21, 2022Romans 5:12, 18-21
Introduction
The message is simple tonight, but I believe it is important for us to grasp the great truth in this chapter.
Heb. 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Introduction
Jesus had just been in the house, with a lot of people, and healed the paralyzed man. He now goes out to the sea side, and is again followed by a multitude. They didn't have cameras to take pictures, but imagine the paparazzi. Jesus amassed a large following because of the miracles He did. We have the specific calling of Matthew.
Matthew 13:4 “^4\ ^And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:”

Pro 3:1-6
Intro.
I have been taking the passages one paragraph at a time. Usually the paragraph tends to have a fluid theme that runs through it. There are many things that tie these verses together, and yet at the same time, it is necessary to treat each of these topics on their own. The depth of thought that runs through each one, certainly merits a message in and of itself. We could entitle it the “Not” series.
April 6, 2025Mark 3:13-21
Introduction
We are going to look at those who are close to God. Man throughout history is trying to get close to God. There is only one way to get close to God!
Jesus is constantly interacting with people in his life time. The difference between how Jesus interacts, and how we interact, is he never made a mistake! His interactions were intentional. Everything written in the Bible about the life of Jesus is deserving of study, and learning! He provided for us a perfect example in every area of life.

Pro 3:11-12 - My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: 12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Intro.
There is a whole passage in Hebrews 12 that talks about the discipline of the Lord! It is very helpful. Hear, we have Solomons wise words on the matter. These verses are a little different in the previous sets, because, before, we have a reward, here, we just have reason. There is reward, and it is great… it is just not mentioned clearly here.

Pro 3:13-20
Most people today, are not happy! They are mad, they are frustrated, they are disappointed, they are depressed, they are discouraged… Most people want to be happy!
True happiness is not found in possessions, power, or position, but rather in the knowledge offered by God!
Happiness Is The Lord
Happiness is to know the Savior
June 22, 2025Mark 6:1-3, 1-13
Introduction
Not everything in ministry goes well. We are programmed to think that if something is off, something doesn’t go well, then we must find the fault, we must change something, we must do something different.
Mark 5:19 “19\ Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.”

Psalm 116:1-8
Introduction
There are many outlines of this Psalm. Each one of them offers a unique perspective on the Psalm. It is a Psalm that is more poetical in voice, with specifics left out. It is a very personal Psalm with over 30 personal references of I, me, my, mine. Therefore it is a heartfelt Psalm.
It is a longer Psalm, and we will not be able to cover every point that is made in this Psalm. There is a lot to explore and learn from this Psalm that will not be covered tonight. However, I think I can give you enough to help you find the rest of the information in this Psalm. This is a Psalm of thanksgiving, ending in “Praise ye the LORD.”

Psalm 119:1-8
Introduction
Psalm 119 is broken up into 22 parts based on the Hebrew Alphabet. Interestingly enough, the alphabet at least in the first two letters is similar to ours, A, B, Greek alphabet is where we derive the word alpha-bet, those letters are Alpha Beta. Just an interesting fact.
Each section consists of 8 verses, and each of those verses in the Hebrew language, would start with the corresponding letter, Aleph for this section. It would have been a great Psalm to teach to your children to learn the letters.
