Many New Testament verses clearly teach the value that Jesus Christ put on the church He purchased with His own blood. As we learn of that importance, the question remains – How much do we value that church? The 50th Psalm reveals God to be a righteous judge. One that will reward the righteous, and punish the wicked. We have no right to question God and His righteousness, but man commonly does, not realizing that God is not like us! The sermon deals with the doctrine commonly referred to as Mental Divorce. Arguments are made regarding what the Bible teaches about marriage and the bond between a husband and wife. The doctrine is shown to be erroneous. The terms apathy and zeal are defined, and examples are given of each in scripture. God’s response is also noted, as exhortations are given for Christians to exhibit fervor for God and His work. Sermon 9 of 9 In this lesson, brother Foster brought the meeting to a close with an encouraging and uplifting exhortation to zeal and steadfastness in applying the preaching we hear to our daily lives. Sermon 8 of 9 Paul’s companions, Priscilla and Aquila, are wonderful examples of what can be accomplished before God if husband and wife work together to serve Him. Sermon 7 of 9 The third chapter of Lamentations is used to express the truth that despite the trials of life, there is hope if we wait on the Lord, and bear our yoke before Him. Sermon 6 of 9 Old Testament characters Delilah, Jezebel and Nabal are used to warn young people of the dangers of choosing a mate unwisely. Sermon 5 of 9 The conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8) is examined, to determine what did and did not happen in the conversion. The lesson’s application contrasts what men teach and what the Bible reveals that a man must do to be saved. Sermon 4 of 9 Two concepts are examined, using Jeroboam as an example (1 Kings 12:25-30). The first, CONvenience. The second, CONviction. Good application is made to Christians in our time. Sermon 3 of 9 The sermon uses the text of Hosea to look at the state of Israel during the time of the prophet, and makes seven applications. Today we can be guilty of the same sins of Hosea’s time: 1) Lack of Knowledge; 2) Pride; 3) Instability; 4) Mixing with the World; 5) Corruption; 6) Backsliding; and 7) Idolatry. Sermon 2 of 9 The sermon (delivered during the Bible class on Sunday morning) reveals what God’s word teaches on the subject of angels, and contrasts what is revealed with the misconceptions and superstitions of men. Sermon 1 of 9 The sermon examines the character of the Centurion in Luke 7:1-10, as it is assessed by those who witnessed his behavior, as he humbly assessed in himself, and finally as assessed by the Savior. The applications are obvious, and clearly established by brother Foster. The sermon examines the conversation between Jesus and the woman of Samaria, recorded in John 4. The woman, who conceivably began the interlude with animosity toward Jesus, a Jew, eventually believed Him to be the Messiah. Romans 11:22 affirms that God is both good, and severe, depending upon our standing with Him. The lesson affirms the need for obedience, that we might witness God’s goodness. |
