The Priority of the Believer’s Heart and Mind
The Priority of the Believer’s Heart and Mind Text: Philippians 1:9-10a In the midst of His high priestly prayer in John 17, we read of the Lord Jesus petitioning His Father for His people, “that they may be one, even as we are one”. In a prayer where there was no idle word and no wasted…
Considerations Before Courtship
Considerations Before Courtship Text: Titus 2:1-8 Much of the happiness or sorrow of this life will be tied to our home life. The romance soon turns into reality, and if there has been deliberate folly or rebellion on the part of a believer, there will be consequences to pay. I. THE CONDITION OF THE PROSPECT 1. The Evidence of Salvation It is not wise to be overly…
The Witness of the Light
The Witness of the Light Text: John 1:6-9 Let me once again remind you that the writer of this gospel, the beloved disciple John, is making a case for the identity of Christ, more so than the historicity of Christ. It’s not just the observations of a historian, he is trying to persuade us to believe in the Son of God. So his opening lines are essentially answering the…
True Christian Fellowship
True Christian Fellowship Text: Philippians 1:3-8 Learning to pray is one of the most important skills for the Christian. You say, well sure can’t any Christian pray? Yes, of course. While prayer doesn’t save us, without prayer we cannot be saved. But even thought all Christians may pray, we still need to learn to pray. Was this not what was recognised by the disciple…
The Problem with Singleness
The Problem with Singleness Text: 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 Last week we addressed the position of singleness, a state which a lot of people find themselves in. Those who have never married, those who have been divorced, and those who are widows. The Will of God, Sovereignty of God, Purpose of God in Singleness, as well as a word to the People of God Serving Singles.…
The Word as the Life, Light, and Liberator of Men
The Word as the Life, Light, and Liberator of Men Text: John 1:4-5 One of the ancient masters of rhetoric, Aristotle, taught that in organized speech you should use this three-fold formula: tell them what you’re going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you just told them. And…
The Salutation of Salvation
The Salutation of Salvation Text: Phil 1:2 There are few friendships that are as strong as those that are made in times of affliction. Why is it that the friendships built between soldiers are so strong? Because of the hardships they go through together, and the willingness to lay down your life for the other. It’s the same reason why good marriages are so strong,…
Understanding Singleness
Understanding Singleness Text: 1 Cor 7:32-35 While we often focus on marriages and relationships, singles make up a huge percentage of our world, whether it be the widowed, divorced, and those who have never married. Furthermore, nowadays it seems people are taking longer to get married, as well as increased divorce rates launching people back into singleness prematurely.…
The Supremacy of Christ as the Word
The Supremacy of Christ as the Word Text: John 1:1-3 As we step into a study through the Gospel of John, I must say it is with a little fear. On the one hand, no other book in the Bible so effectively presents the history of the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. But at the same time, no other book so profoundly presents the theology person of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is…
The Church Plant at Philippi
The Church Plant at Philippi Text: Philippians 1:1-2 This morning I would like to introduce this letter to you. For many it has been entitled the Epistle of Joy. Joy is mentioned at least 16 times, Christ 50 times, and it’s easy to see the connection – true joy is found in Christ. Now our world knows little of true joy – most people are always hungering…
