So let's turn to that book tonight as we get started. If you are new to this format, this evening's study or a study like this, we will be in the scriptures for the next hour. If that's something you did not bargain for, if you think [...]

We’re going to continue now in Hebrews 1:4. As your outline points out, this is the first of the seven comparisons which are contained. This time it’s a comparison between Jesus and angels. The writer sets out to show how Jesus is absolutely unique [...]

I’m going to very briefly review the material that we covered last time. First of all, there was a preliminary explanation of how we’re going to do this. The most important thing for you to get out of that is I will be reading from the Greek New [...]

A lot of Jewish people say there is no such thing as a Jew who’s a Christian. So, Jews who believe in Jesus, of whom, thank God, there are many, have taken other forms such as "Jewish believers" or "Hebrew Christians" just to [...]

For the first part of this first session I’m going to be giving you some preliminary explanation as to the way I will be teaching and how you can benefit best from it. Some of you may feel this is just a kind of option, that it’s not of much [...]

Well, you made it. Turn in your Bibles to 1 Corinthians chapter 16. We finish out the book tonight. Chapter 16, we'll do it. There's only 24 verses. Famous last words I heard somebody say. Who said that? You say that? OK. I'll forgive [...]

1 Corinthians chapter 15. Back in 1922, an author by the name of F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote an interesting idea in a book that he called The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Now, it became a movie, and so some of you thought that's all it really [...]

We're in the book 1 Corinthians. We're in chapter 15. So turn your Bibles, get ready for that. A special welcome to those joining us online. A couple of weeks ago or a week ago when we were in England, in Sheffield, England, a couple that [...]

Well, good evening God's people, God's called out one's, royal priesthood. Well, we are in the book of 1 Corinthians, chapter 12 so turn in your Bibles to that. I do have an announcement to make regarding an event following this at [...]

1 Corinthians chapter 12, we have been taking our time going through it. We have been laboriously going through some of these verses, sometimes covering a verse when usually we cover a chapter or two. Sometimes we do that. Wednesday night is through [...]

This past week, I had the opportunity to be on the East Coast, in Washington, DC, at the Museum of the Bible and to speak at the Museum of the Bible. So the week before me, Anne Graham Lotz spoke. Then I spoke. And then, this next week, Dr. Tony [...]

Turn in your Bibles, please, to the book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 12. If you remember, we started, well, back up. We're going through the Bible. We're going through the book of 1 Corinthians presently. We started Chapter 12 a few weeks [...]

Turn in your Bibles, please, to the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 12. We began last week. And I warned you that though I've done the Bible from 30,000 feet and taught all of 1 Corinthians in one night, and usually we go about a chapter a week, [...]

A few weeks ago, if you recall, on a Wednesday night I kind of did a quick snapshot overview of the prophecies of Ezekiel 38 and 39 which predict a movement of nations, a coalition of nations, in the last days headed by Russia coming down to Israel [...]

The Lord's people gathered together once again around the table of God's Word, the living room, I like to call this, just us with our Bibles open. I hope you brought one. If you didn't, the ushers are going to come by and, no, [...]

Would you turn in your Bibles, please, to the book of 1 Corinthians, chapter 10. A quick reminder, though most know but we could have some who are visiting us, first of all, welcome if you're visiting. We consider it not just great that [...]

Open your Bibles, please, to the 10th chapter of 1 Corinthians. 1 Corinthians chapter 10. If you were to read the Bible through at a moderate pace it would take you 70 hours and 40 minutes. Some say 72 hours. Some say more, some say less. Of course, [...]

Good evening. Turn in your Bibles, please, to the book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 9. If you are new to Wednesday nights, most of you probably are familiar with our format. But if you are new, first of all, welcome. We're glad you're here. [...]

Would you turn, in your Bibles, please, to the book of 1 Corinthians, chapter 7? We didn't quite finish the chapter last week. We want to finish it this week. And you will then notice chapter 8 is short. I promised you last week that we will [...]

All right, did you bring one of these? I always ask you that. It's good to have one. Turn in your Bible to 1 Corinthians chapter 7, 1 Corinthians chapter 7, a longer chapter than before, so we buckle our seatbelts. The apostle Paul wrote this [...]

You're my folks. I tell you this so often. I hope you have one of these. Did you bring one of these? It could be that you don't have one or you didn't bring one. I hope you do have one. If you don't, I think it's good to [...]

Welcome to our mid-week Bible study. We just sang a song that was a modern rendition of an old hymn. Or it was, sort of the idea was borrowed from an old hymn, "It is Well With My Soul." And I was thinking, some of us may know but some of [...]

Good evening. Hey. Good evening. Now, first things first. If you have served in our armed forces or you're a family member of somebody who has, would you rise to your feet please? Would you stand up? All right. Some of you wore your jackets, [...]

Good evening. Howdy. What's up. Hey, before we get started tonight, first of all, welcome. Glad you came. I was thinking while we were worshipping and asking the Lord to touch us. I was thinking of different people in the church, some of which [...]

I'm clapping with you clapping for you. Welcome to church, welcome to our mid-week meal. We call it Expound. It's quite simple. We spend an hour together studying a chapter or 2. In this case a chapter in the New Testament. We go through [...]

I’d like to just turn your attention for a moment to the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians chapter 2. This particular epistle appeals to me because in it Paul is dealing with what he calls the wisdom of this world as distinct from the truth of God. And [...]

This is the fourth and final session in the series of four sessions in which we’ve been working through the last five chapters of Romans. We’ve got to chapter 15 and we left off round about verse 5–7. I think we’ll go back there and then go on from [...]

Going back then to Romans 14 verse 13. And this is a therefore. Do You remember what I said about therefore? You begin to find out why it’s there. Well, this therefore is there because we’re all going to have to stand before the judgment seat of [...]

This is the third of four sessions in which we are working our way systematically through the last five chapters of Romans, chapters 12–16. In this session we are going to begin at Romans chapter 14. And the first theme that we’ll deal with is [...]

I think we have to move on. We’ve got the rest of the chapter to deal with. Now, it’s so refreshing and beautiful to come back to the theme of love. And that’s what the main teaching of this section is. I pointed out in regard to chapter 12 that [...]

Numbers, book of Numbers, chapter 35 tonight and 36. Thirty-six is short, so it shouldn't be too daunting of a task, even for me, to finish. So we'll see how we do as we finish it out. Let's pray. Father, we have said that the theme [...]

This is the second session in a series of four dealing with the last five chapters of Romans. We’re going to start now at chapter 13. And the first part of this chapter deals with the issues of relating to secular governmental authority, which is [...]

Did you catch the news article, Dateline Jerusalem? "On the eve of the annual celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the one million inhabitants of the city were shocked by the announcement that a body, identified as that [...]

Well, I've always loved mountains and one of the sites that I still love, it's a memory in my mind, is where I grew up you could be in the wintertime at the Pacific Ocean and look through the palm trees inland toward the distance and see [...]

History began in a garden. Human history began in a garden. Human sin began in a garden. And according to the last chapters of the Bible, human history will culminate in a gardenesque city prepared by God that comes toward the new earth. We're [...]

Luke 22 has seventy-two verses. That's a long chapter. It's like going through two chapters, so we need to get a move on. I was twenty-three years old when I became a temporary resident of Galilee. I moved there from America to become a [...]

Father, we approach your Word with the utmost reverence, with the respect that says this Book is not just another book. These words aren't like words we may have read in the newspaper, or online today, or like a novel we picked up last [...]

The story that we find ourselves in tonight in Luke, chapter 20, has many similarities, just like we're meeting in a courtyard of a building that has been devoted to the worship of God, so the setting in the gospel of Luke, chapter 20, is in [...]

Lord, even as we approach a meal, and we always want to say thank you, Lord, for this food and bless our bodies with this meal, we pray that as we open up your Word. I think of the words of the prophet who said, "Your words were found, and I [...]

So we're in Luke, chapter 18, and we're going to try to make it through the entire chapter tonight. There is a poem I remember reading. I came across it. And let's see if I can come up with it. It's called the prayer of Cyrus [...]

Father, we-we are so thankful, first of all, that you know all about us. Nothing in our thought processes, or our activity, nothing in our humanity takes you off guard. You are Sovereign God and we are told that "God so loved the world." [...]

Lord, we have a very interesting and difficult chapter before us. The material that Jesus gave on that day that he gave it was no doubt a shock to his audience. It was meant to be thus. And because of the material that has covered the subjects that [...]

Turn in your Bible's, please, to the gospel of Luke, chapter 14. And as we're about to partake of the Lord's Table or the Lord's Supper, as we call it, we find ourselves in this chapter at another supper. And it is a supper to [...]

Father, thank you for the opportunity as a family to gather and to sit and to linger. Lord, we don't have to worry about another service after this one. And we're just so grateful that you've given us a little place of rest and [...]

Father, I am trusting, as I have prayed and continue now, that you would speak a word in due season through your already revealed Word, as we consider together the works, and the words, as well the wonders of the Jesus that we love and have [...]

If you remember back, or you want to make reference to it right now, in chapter 9, verse 51, we're told by Luke that "Jesus set his face steadfastly to go to Jerusalem." This is his last march. He has a few months left to live as he [...]

Father, you've heard our prayer in the songs that have led up to this study. Here's our heart, Lord, we give you our very heart. We give you the heart of who we are. You know who we are. We're not hiding anything from you. And we [...]

Now in chapter 9, in verse 51, we're told that Jesus set his face steadfastly to go to Jerusalem. From chapter 9, verse 51, to chapter 19 is the travel log of Jesus on his way to Jerusalem. This is Luke outlining and expanding what Jesus said [...]

Father, in this place and at this time we confront you, our Father, the living God on the pages of the living Word. We call it that because the writer of Hebrews said, "The Word of God is living and powerful; it is sharper than any two-edged [...]

Father, we are hungry to know more. We're hungry to build upon our faith and to know what it is we know, what it is we believe. No matter how long we have walked with you, Lord, our roots always need to go deeper. And so, Father, we pray that [...]
