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…

Acts 26:1-32 Please turn to Acts Chapter 26 in your King James Bible. The Apostle Paul was passionate about preaching the Gospel. He had a great zeal for Jesus Christ. He said, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” He pressed toward the mark. Realize what Paul went through. They tried to stop Paul. Of the Jews, five times he received stripes. He was beaten with rods. He was stoned. He was shipwrecked three times. He was in the deep a night and a day. He journeyed often. He was…

Mark 15:22-32 I want to show you that there is a difference in the way time is kept in Matthew, Mark, and Luke versus John. Time is kept from the first morning hours in Matthew, Mark, and Luke and time is kept from midnight in the Gospel of John much like we keep time today. We know that a new day begins with the light. The Bible is very clear on this. But, in the Gospel of John, time is kept from midnight. And I want to clearly show you this today. There is a difference in the way time…

Ezra 7:11-26 The love of God is following His commandments. We are commanded to love God. In order to love God, we must follow His commandments. God gives us all of his commandments and all of his laws within the Bible. Law books for Kentucky alone would fill a room. Law books for this country would fill a building. God’s laws are perfect, and His laws are all within this small book called the Holy Bible. “”Psalm 19:7-9The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The…

Matthew 22:34-40 God tells you everything you need to know to live the life He wants you to live. He tells you how He wants things done. When we live this life how God wants you to live it, everything works great. When you don’t live life the way God wants you to live it, things are tough and they will get tougher. And when you won’t do things the way God tells you do them, you won’t get God’s help. And if you don’t have God’s help, things will get tougher and tougher. “”Romans 8:28And we know that all…

Matthew 1:18-25 We’ve been going through Matthew Chapter 1 in great detail. We’ve seen the generation of Jesus Christ. We’ve seen a large list of people in this chapter. We’ve learned many lessons from them. And now we’re to the birth of Jesus Christ. This is one of the greatest days in all of eternity. If that day never happened, we wouldn’t be here right now. But it happened. And it was always going to happen. Let’s take a close look at the details here. The Birth of Jesus Christ Went Like This “”Matthew 1:18Now the birth of Jesus Christ…

Leviticus 23:15-44 In last week’s Bible Study we talked about the first three feasts of the Lord: We know that those three feasts all happen during a period of seven days. From the 14th day of the first month at even to the 21st of the first month at even. Seven days total. Now, I want to go over a quick summary of the remaining four feasts. The Remaining Four Feasts of the Lord The fourth overall feast is the feast of weeks. Let’s see when this feast occurs according to the Bible. “”Leviticus 23:15-16And ye shall count unto you…
