1 Kings 17:8-16 This is a sermon I want to stick with you for a long time. I want this to stick in your head. And when you’re not sure what to do, just try. If you aren’t sure you can do something, just try. Hey, give it a shot. Just try. I want to start out today with one of my favorite Scriptures in all the Bible. This is an extremely powerful story that I want you to remember. The Story of Elijah and the Widow Woman This life is tough. Some people give up when it gets tough.…

Matthew 4:12-17 We just finished the Sunday School lessons on the temptations of Jesus. Jesus was baptized and then he was tempted by Satan. After this, Jesus hears that John the Baptist was cast into prison. I want to focus in on this verse, Matthew 4 verse 12. “”Matthew 4:12Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;”” Why Was John the Baptist Cast Into Prison? So, we don’t get much detail about John the Baptist being cast into prison. What happened? John the Baptist was just preaching about Jesus. He just baptized Jesus.…

Leviticus 23:15-22 We’re continuing our detailed Bible study about the feasts of the Lord. We are focusing in on the fourth feast. Passover is first. Feast of Unleavened Bread is second. The Firstfruits is third. And now we’re going to the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost. This is a feast commanded by God in the Old Testament and is later fulfilled in the New Testament with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Biblical Foundation of the Feast of Weeks Now, let’s study the feast of weeks from where we first see it in the Bible. Leviticus Chapter 23 is the…

Romans 16:17-20 The Bible commands us to mark certain people. Put a mark on them. And there’s a reason to put a mark on them. Some pastors, churches, and cults like to mark anyone that doesn’t agree with something they say or do. And then they will attempt to use the Bible to mark someone for a reason that isn’t in the Bible. So, let’s actually look at the Scriptures and see what they say. “”Romans 16:17Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.”” Mark…

1 Samuel 31:1-6 There is a man who killed himself in the Bible by falling upon his own sword. We just read those Scriptures. If I asked you who it was, would you know the answer? It’s important to come to church and get focused in on the word of God. We have to give attention to God’s words. The man, a king, the first king of Israel, king Saul, is that man who killed himself by falling on his own sword. “”1 Samuel 31:3-4And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore…

Matthew 4:8-11 After Jesus was baptized, he was tempted in different ways by Satan. When you’re trying to do right, you will be tempted in different ways by Satan. Jesus perfectly passed those tests. Other people in the Bible perfectly passed those tests. Other people in the Bible failed those tests. So, whatever happens, stay faithful to God through these temptations. Keep reading your Bible. Keep studying your Bible. Keep coming to church to hear and learn the word of God. Don’t fall back. Don’t stop. After Jesus was tempted by Satan, I want you to see what happened. I…

Scripture Reference: Leviticus 23:4-44 Introduction to the Seven Feasts of the Lord We have been going over the seven feasts of the Lord and details for all those seven feasts over the past several months at this Thursday Night Bible Study. I want to take a step back and go over a summary of the seven feasts of the Lord. After this, for example, next Bible Study, we will continue going over the details. We will start to see how God’s plan is unfolding. What Are the Seven Feasts of the Lord? What are the seven feasts of the…

1 Corinthians 15:12-24 When you look up the word resurrection, you will find 41 matches in 40 verses. All of those matches are in the New Testament. So, you don’t see the word resurrection in the Old Testament at all. But we know the resurrection is spoken of in the Old Testament. The definition of resurrection is rising from the dead. In My Flesh I Shall See God “”Job 19:25-27For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in…

Joshua 8:30-35 This sermon will never be one of the popular sermons. When you start preaching about reading and studying the Bible, most people stop listening. But, we know that this is one of the most important topics. Reading the Bible. This must be a top priority in your life. I want to show you what’s in the Bible concerning the commandment from God for you to read the Bible. The Bible Commands Us To Read So We Know I did a quick search through the Scriptures in the Bible on the following four words: read, readest, readeth, and reading.…

James 2:21-26 James Chapter 2 is a chapter that works based salvation preachers will use over and over again. They ignore the entire rest of the Bible and will teach that you must have good works to get to heaven. They will use a verse that says Abraham was justified by his works to say that you must have good works to get to heaven. The entire Bible, hundreds of Scriptures, teach that we are only saved by faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus is “THE” Savior of the world. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ, his blood, his life, is the…

Matthew 4:8-10 We are continuing our verse by verse lessons through the Gospel of Matthew. We are in Matthew Chapter 4 with the temptations of Jesus. Jesus was baptized and right after he is being tempted by Satan. He was tempted first in Matthew with food and using his power as the Son of God. He was then tempted to throw himself off the temple to see if God would save him. Jesus was tempted to tempt God. And now we are here to the third temptation of Jesus Christ. The Third Temptation of Jesus Christ “”Matthew 4:8-10Again, the devil…

Exodus 25:17-22 I want to do a complete Bible study on the mercy seat. We’re going to learn everything the Bible tells us about the mercy seat. The Bible is the one and only source of truth for this church. So, when we study the mercy seat throughout the Bible, we will come to a complete understanding. We don’t need anything or anyone else to teach us something different about the mercy seat. When we search the Scriptures for mercy seat, what do we find? We find 27 matches in 23 verses. 27 Total Matches for Mercy Seat and Mercyseat…

James 2:14-26 Please turn to James Chapter 2 in your King James Bible. This is very popular chapter for the works based salvation preachers. The exact phrase “faith without works” is seen in the Bible just two times. Both of those times are in the Book of James. James is the 59th book of the Bible out of 66 total books so it’s towards the end of the Bible. There are 58 books of the Bible before the Book of James that clearly teach that the salvation of your soul comes through faith in Jesus Christ. James teaches salvation comes…

James 2:14-26 I am continuing the sermon from this morning. Faith without works is dead. If you haven’t seen that sermon, please watch that one. As this is a continuation. We’re looking closely at the Bible. We’re looking closely at James Chapter 2. “”James 2:14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?”” Look closely at the verse and don’t skip any words. “What doth it profit, my brethren?” We’re talking about profit. Profit means gain, advantage, improve, or benefit. Keep that in mind as we continue. The…

James 2:14-26 We’re going to talk about one of the favorite sayings of people who believe in a works based salvation. They will teach and preach that since James Chapter 2 says, “Faith without works is dead,” that you must have good works to earn the free gift of heaven. They ignore the entire Bible, and they go with the phrase: “Faith without works is dead.” Because the phrase “faith without works is dead” is in the Bible they choose to believe you must do good works to get to heaven. What If You Don’t Have Good Works? They will…

Matthew 4:5-7 We are continuing our Sunday School lessons in the Gospel of Matthew. We are in Matthew Chapter 4. At the end of Matthew Chapter 3, we saw Jesus get baptized in water. And now we see him being tempted by the devil. Last week we saw Jesus being tempted to turn the stones into bread after fasting for forty days and forty nights. That was the first temptation by the devil to Jesus. Now, we’re going to study the second temptation. “”Matthew 4:5-7Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle…

Ezekiel 43:18-27 I want to do a complete Bible study on the topic of the sprinkling of blood. This isn’t a simple or easy Bible study to start as there are many different Scriptures that speak of the sprinkling of blood. Why is blood sprinkled? What is the purpose of this sprinkling of blood? Before we get into the Scriptures, I put together a table with all the occurrences of sprinkling blood on an object or a person. Here’s how many times each of these are mentioned in the King James Bible. # Location Times 1 Altar 26 2 People…

Exodus 24:1-8 I’m going to focus on the commandments from God that tell us to read and study the Bible. We have to go back to the basics of reading and studying the Bible daily. If everything else is more important, things aren’t going to turn out very well. We need to know what’s in the Bible. We need to know the organization of the Bible. We need to know the structure of the Bible. We need to know the doctrines taught within the Bible. We need to know the books of the Bible. We need to know how many…

1 Thessalonians 5:11-15 I want to go over the mission of this church as we get started today. The mission of this church: 1) Preach the Gospel and win souls to Jesus Christ. 2) Baptize in water as the first step of obedience to Jesus Christ. 3) Teach them all things within the Bible. Notice that there aren’t all these other things. This is our mission as given within the Bible. We do special events to support this mission. We have food and clothing to support this mission. Everything we do is to support this mission that we have. Our…

Matthew 4:1-4 We’ve been talking about Jesus being God in the flesh in many different lessons, sermons, and Bible studies since this church has opened. This is a very important doctrine to know and understand. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and he is God in the flesh. Jesus Christ was tempted with food. This 100% proves that Jesus was in this same flesh. He came just like us, in this same flesh and blood, to save us. He didn’t get an advantage over us. He didn’t take any advantages. He went through more than any of us will…

We just read through the Day of Atonement and everything that happened on that day. There are people out there who attempt to apply things that happened during the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ one to one to the day of atonement.

This evening we are going to partake in the first Lord’s Supper at this new church. We’re going to take a close look at how Jesus implemented the Lord’s Supper. We’re going to learn from Jesus, and we’re going to do our best to implement the Lord’s Supper as he instructed. Listen to these Scriptures as these are leading up to the Lord’s Supper.

1 Kings 19:1-8 We all have times of trouble in our life. Every one of us have trouble. We all have bad days, bad weeks, bad months, and bad years. Times can get really tough. Out on the streets on Tuesday of this week, a man told me that he was tired of losing in life. He told me he is angry and just wanted to kill someone. He said I might just start killing because this world is setup to make me fail. He’s right. This world is setup to make you fail, but God sets you up to…

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,…
