Matthew 3:13-17 We’ve been going through the Gospel of Matthew, the first book in the New Testament, verse by verse in great detail. In Matthew Chapter 1, we saw the genealogy of Jesus, God in the flesh, from Abraham to Joseph. We see Jesus is conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary. In Matthew Chapter 2, we see the wise men inquire about Jesus Christ. Herod is alarmed. The wise men are directed by a star to Bethlehem where Jesus was born. The wise men worship him and offer their gifts. Joseph flees into Egypt with…

John 20:11-18 Since we are looking at the feasts of the Lord and focusing on the feast of firstfruits, I want to stop and take a look at a very important moment on resurrection day. We are putting together a resurrection timeline of all the events mentioned in the Bible. We know that the first appearance of Jesus, in his new resurrected body, was to Mary Magdalene. I want to look closely at that appearance right now. Let’s see exactly what happens on resurrection day using the Scriptures. And remember, Jesus arose from the dead in the Spring. His death,…

1 Corinthians 6:12-20 God is very clear on His commandment to flee fornication. In order to flee fornication, we need to know what it is and why we need to run from it as fast as we possibly can. “”1 Corinthians 6:18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.”” Flee fornication. When you commit fornication, you’re sinning against your own body. So, what is fornication? The Definition of Fornication The first definition of fornication is the voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons…

Proverbs 6:6-11 Today, I want to go over something that can and will destroy your life. I’ve seen this destroy individuals and families throughout my life. And it’s a very serious thing. And you might think this is hard to hear today. I’m going to talk about being slothful and sluggish. Sloths are the slowest land animal on earth. On average, they move about as far as 50 of our steps. Slugs and snails move very slowly. I have a watch on my arm that tracks steps. If I only move 50 steps per day, I’m a sloth. I’m a…

Matthew 3:7-12 We’ve been going through Matthew Chapter 3 verse by verse. Last week we focused in on what John the Baptist meant when he preached to “bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance.” We know he was talking about the fruit of your lips. When we go out and preach the Gospel, much like John the Baptist was doing there, we ask people if they believe what we’re telling them from the Bible. They will say “Yes, I believe that” or “No, I don’t believe that.” “”Matthew 3:7-9But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to…

Mark 16:9-20 I want to look closely at the appearances of Jesus after He arose from the dead. Again, we’re going to see different accounts in the four different Gospels. I want to attempt to put these in the order they happened. But first we’re going to look at the appearances Jesus makes in each of the Gospels after He is risen. In the Gospel of Matthew, we see two appearances of Jesus. Let’s look closely at the Scriptures. “”Matthew 28:5-7And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which…

Matthew 28:1-10 God gave us the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John for a reason. He wants us to study all of them together. There are four different accounts of the day Jesus arose from the dead. We must take all four accounts and put them together so we know what happened. God commands us to “study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” And that’s what we’re going to do right here today. “”Matthew 28:1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn…

Galatians 6:1-10 We are continuing this series on the laws of thy God. The Bible is filled with God’s commandments to us. And I want to talk about something very important today. We’re here to help each other, but, if at all possible, the Bible says: “Every man shall bear his own burden.” We teach the Bible here, and when you follow the Bible, everything works together for good. When you don’t follow the Bible, everything is tougher on you and everyone around you. “”Galatians 6:1-2Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such…

Isaiah 42:5-12 We are a brand new church here in West Louisville in the Park Hill neighborhood. I love it here. I love the people here. Nathan and I wanted to come here. This church, True Words Baptist Church, is a brand new church. We just finished the 11th week of being open. We haven’t been here very long. We started out with just my family and Nathan’s family. We started out great with 77 people attending our Grand Opening services on 10/13/2024. I expected the attendance to drop some after that opening day, and it did. Much of our…

Matthew 3:7-12 In Matthew Chapter 3, we see John the Baptist coming on the scene and preaching in the wilderness or desert area of Judaea. He preaches, “Repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” We went over that in detail. This means John the Baptist is preaching to change your mind and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t believe in yourself to get to heaven. Don’t believe in your own good works. Don’t believe in you repenting of your sin. Instead, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. John the Baptist is wearing clothing made of camel’s…

Leviticus 23:9-14 The feast of firstfruits happens during the seven days of unleavened bread. The Passover happens on the first day. The feast of firstfruits happens on the day after the weekly Sabbath day during those seven days of unleavened bread. Look closely at this graphic again. At the top you see the days of unleavened bread. Seven days. You see Day 1, Day 2, all the way through Day 7. That first night of the 14th is the Passover. That’s when the feast of unleavened bread begins and it continues into the day of the 15th. In that selfsame…

Luke 2:1-24 I love Christmas. I love to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We don’t worship Christmas trees. We don’t worship the season of Christmas. We don’t worship Santa Claus. We don’t worship the ornaments on the tree. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas time is a great time. The Scripture we just read is one of my favorite Scripture passages in all the Bible. Just as the babe John the Baptist leaped in the womb of Elisabeth when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, my heart jumps with great joy from within when…

Matthew 28:16-20 Our mission here as a church matches exactly what Jesus Christ tells us to do in Matthew Chapter 28. I want you to see this, and I want you to understand why we are here. These are the words of Jesus Christ before he ascended into heaven to be seated on the right hand of God. “”Matthew 28:18-20And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of…

Matthew 3:1-6 We’ve finished Matthew Chapter 1 and 2 in great detail. We’ve been through each verse in great detail. We’ve studied the details of the coming of Jesus Christ. We’re moving forward in years by a few decades from the birth of Jesus Christ. Now we’re going to see the cousin of Jesus Christ, a man who is about 6 months older than Jesus Christ, who is leading the way for the ministry of Jesus Christ. John the Baptist Leads the Way “”Matthew 3:1-2In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying,…

Luke 22:7-20 The Lord’s Supper is a very important event within the Bible. The first time the Lord’s Supper appears in the Bible is the evening before Jesus dies on the cross. Jesus is the Passover Lamb We know that Jesus is the Passover Lamb. We know that Jesus dies at approximately the ninth hour of the day or around 3 pm. We know that Jesus is the Passover Lamb. He fulfills the Passover Feast. That means Jesus died on the calendar day of the 14th. That even of the 14th is when the Passover Feast begins. The Passover Lamb…

Romans 3:19-31 When I was growing up, I remember hearing about grace in church. I didn’t know what it meant, way back then, to be saved by grace. And most people who believe themselves to be Christians do not know what the word grace means. They do not know what saved by grace means. They prove it over and over again when they leave You Tube comments. And then there are people who believe themselves to be Christians who don’t know what the definition of works are in the Bible. And listen, this is not difficult but people out there,…

James 2:14-19 For years I have been preaching that we are saved by believing in Jesus Christ. It takes nothing else but believing in the Lord Jesus Christ to receive everlasting life. You can search the Scriptures for the words: believe, believed, believers, believest, believeth, and believing. You can see for yourself what the Scriptures say. You will find 322 matches in 287 verses for those words in the Scriptures. All The Scriptures With the Word Believe Here’s what a plot looks like for all the occurrences of these words: The Gospel of John has the most matches for the…

Matthew 2:19-23 Last week we saw that Joseph and Mary, while she was pregnant, traveled from Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judaea. Jospeh was going to Bethlehem to pay taxes. Bethlehem is called the city of David in the Gospel of Luke. “”Luke 2:4-5And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.”” The Scriptures in the Old Testament tell us that…

Exodus 12:29-36 I want to look at the events during the Passover and put it all together in order of events. And then compare this to the actual fulfillment of the Passover when Jesus Christ became the Passover Lamb who died for the sins of the whole world. Instruction of the Passover Given Actual Occurrence of Passover Further Instructions for the Passover Passover Details You Don’t Want to Miss 10th day of the first month the Lamb is taken up. This is Jesus Christ presenting himself as the Passover Lamb when he rides into Jerusalem on an ass. That’s how…

The measure of success in this world is money and power. That is not God’s measure of success. The world teaches you to work to get rich. Get rich quick. God doesn’t. As normal, the truth in God’s word is opposite to the truth in this world.

I want to talk about money and finances. You need to get this in order. If you don’t get this in order, you’re going to have many problems to deal with. I want to help you get this right.

Matthew 2:1-23 recounts the wise men’s journey to worship Jesus, born in Bethlehem. King Herod, troubled by their search for the “King of the Jews,” plots to kill the Christ. The wise men follow the star, finding Jesus and worshiping Him, while Herod’s dark plans unravel, showcasing Jesus as the humble Savior.

John 12:12-19 Last week we went over the Passover in detail in Exodus Chapter 12. That is the first time the Passover is ever seen. We know that the children of Israel are supposed to, in the 10th day of the first month, take to them every man a lamb, a lamb for an house. The lamb is to be without blemish, a male of the first year, and it is to kept up until the 14th day of the first month. And then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. The Timing…

Exodus 21:12-21 God’s laws are perfect. The law of the Lord is perfect. We need to know God’s laws and follow His laws. “”Psalm 119:97-100O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.”” The laws of God will make you wise. Keep them with you. God’s law will give you more…

Luke 8:4-15 I want to go over the parable of the sower today as a part of this series for getting your life in order. I want to show you what’s important for your life by using this parable from the Lord Jesus Christ. A parable is a story used to illustrate a lesson. Jesus gave us many parables. Sometimes they are more difficult to understand. But, in this parable, Jesus tells us exactly what he means. Let’s take a close look at this today and learn from the word of God. “”Luke 8:4-6And when much people were gathered together,…
