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,…

Matthew 2:1-8 At the end of Matthew Chapter 1, we see Joseph calling Mary’s firstborn son Jesus. The first time the name Jesus is seen in all the Bible is within Matthew Chapter 1. We saw the physical generation of Jesus Christ in the flesh. We see that Mary is a virgin found with child just as prophecy from the Book of Isaiah 750 years prior tells us. We see that the Savior of the world, Jesus, is about to be born into this world. We are moving into Matthew Chapter 2 now. “”Matthew 2:1-2Now when Jesus was born in…

Exodus 12:1-28 The Passover is the first of the seven feasts of the Lord. We see the seven feasts of the Lord in detail in Leviticus Chapter 23. We’ve been through a quick overview of all of those seven feasts. Now we’re going to look at each one of them in detail. We’re going to start with the Passover and the first occurrence in the Bible in Exodus Chapter 12. This is the actual first Passover as commanded by God. “”Exodus 12:1-3And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2 This month shall be…
-
Matthew 3:1-6 The first time we see baptism in the entire Bible is in Matthew Chapter 3 that we just read. The first man to baptize anyone in the Bible is John the Baptist. John the Baptist wasn’t a pastor or a deacon. He was a prophet that led the way for Jesus Christ. He was six months older than Jesus Christ in the flesh. Mary the mother of Jesus and Elisabeth the mother of John the Baptist were cousins. John the Baptist was born about 6 months before Jesus was born in the flesh. John the Baptist came preaching…

Colossians 3:18-25 I want to talk about God’s design for your life. As a man, God has given me instructions within the Bible. Men and husbands have specific instructions. God has given women and wives specific instructions. Children are also given clear and specific instructions within the Bible. We are to love the Lord God Almighty by following His commandments. That’s number one. We put Him first by doing what He’s asked us to do. None of Us Have Lived the Perfect Life And none of us are perfect. None of us have the perfect life. None of us have…

Matthew 1:18-25 We are almost finished here with Matthew Chapter 1. I want to focus on a couple of very important points today. “”Matthew 1:18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.”” Mary was found with child. She is “WITH CHILD.” She was found to be pregnant, and the Bible says she is with child. The definition of “with child” means pregnant or containing an unborn child within the body. Child = Unborn Person = Alive…
