Methuselah's Father
by Jerry Vines
This will not be a message you have heard on this subject. This is something brand new which I feel the Lord has given to me for our fathers this morning. This is the day we honor our fathers. It is interesting how Father's Day began. In 1910 there was a lady named Senora Dodd in Spokane, Washington. She was sitting in a church service on Mother's Day and as she was listening to a sermon about mothers, she thought about her father. Her father was a Civil War veteran. Her mom had died early in life so for all of the years of her life and the years of her siblings, they had been brought up by their father. He was...
The Failure of Man and the Provision of God - Part 1 (10 of 48)
by Patrick Edwards
Introduction: Teresa and I have been spending a lot of our free time recently looking at baby stuff, making lists of things we need, and looking at possible nursery themes. One of the things though that always amuses me, much to the annoyance of my bride, is how much Noah's Ark themed stuff there is out there. By and far, Noah's Ark is one of the most common baby themes, which is really kind of shocking if you think about it. Noah's Ark is the event whereby the God of heaven and earth destroyed every living creature on the face of the planet save a very few. It's...
The Destruction and Salvation of Humanity (5 of 6)
by Zach Terry
Opening Illustration: These are the kind of stories that I find very difficult to preach. It's like a Christmas Sermon. Why? You've heard it all. There's not much I can add. For a teacher that is my desire. I want to TEACH you something, Noah's flood is much the same way. However I must say that I find it very disturbing that if you really understand the story that this is the story you tell your kids when you tuck them in at night? What kind of sicko are you? - That's like watching 2012 just before bedtime. This is the most horrible story in all the Bible - yet because the animals come 2 by 2 we miss the fact that this is Judgment day. CONTEXT: Well we pick...
A Rapture Reality (2 of 3)
by Ernest Easley
Now with our Bibles opened to Genesis 5, we're thinking again today on the subject: The Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Here is the message of the Bible: Jesus is coming! Jesus has come! Jesus is coming again! If you believe Jesus has come, then you shouldn't have any trouble believing that Jesus is coming again for the same book that tell us that Jesus has come, tells us that Jesus is coming again! Now on God's timeline, Jesus' sacrificial death ended the Old Testament era of Law and gave birth to the New Testament age of grace: salvation by grace through faith in Christ's atonement. Listen to how Peter describes this in 1 Peter 1.10-11...

Birth Certificates and Grave Stones (1 of 2)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: The story's told of an old Scottish minister who was reading from the opening chapter of Matthew. He started reading, ''Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah…''Then it suddenly occurred to him how long this list was and, not certain he wanted to read all of that, he looked up from his text and said ''and they kept on begetting one another all the way down this page and halfway into the next.''About a month ago or so, I was in a meeting with some of the staff and one of the young men said that he had determined to read the whole Bible...
Man's Family Tree (8 of 54)
by Keith Krell
A group of Florida senior citizens were talking about their ailments: ''My arms are so weak I can hardly hold this cup of coffee.'' ''Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can't even see my coffee.'' ''I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck.'' ''My blood pressure pills make me dizzy.'' Finally, a woman said, ''I guess that's the price we pay for getting old.'' A man replied, ''Well, it's not all bad. We should be thankful we can still drive.'' Do you ever feel like you are getting old? Is your age catching up with you? Are you not the man or woman you used to be? If so, join the crowd. Most people 25 and older recognize that health and...
The Adams Family (4 of 31)
by Ernest Easley
Take God's Word and turn please to the book of Genesis. We're in the middle of a series of messages from the first eleven chapters of Genesis and we're thinking under the general heading: FOUNDATIONS FOR LIFE! If you're interested, and I believe you are, in building your life on a solid and sure foundation then the book of Genesis is for you! Genesis brings us back to the basics. Genesis has been called ''Christianity 101.'' The Psalmists asks in Psm 11.3, ''If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?'' It's true, if the foundation is destroyed...
The Oldest Man (15 of 48)
by Stan Coffey
INTRODUCTION: The oldest man who ever lived (Methuselah) died before his father (Enoch) died. Enoch is a man who never saw physical death. The Bible teaches that God just translated him. God took him physically, bodily to heaven without dying. One man was complaining about the situation in the world to Mark Twain and he said I'm afraid the world is coming to an end. And Mark Twain said well don't worry about it, you'll never get out of it alive anyway. But he was wrong. Enoch got out of it alive and the Prophet Elijah got out of it alive and according to the Bible many of us are going to get out of it alive. The Bible calls this...
The First Mr. Skywalker
by Ken Trivette
1. A few years ago there came out a trilogy of Star Wars movies. Recently, they have become popular again and are being shown in movie theaters around the country. The movies centered around a man named Luke Skywalker. 2. But I want to remind you that long before there was ever a Luke Skywalker, there was Enoch Skywalker. Before Luke Skywalker ever dreamed of sailing past the stars and planets and visiting far off worlds, Enoch walked with God and one day took a trip past the moon and stars right into the very presence of God. 3. Genesis chapter 5, is one of those chapters in the Bible that we often read through hastily, if not...
Enoch: An Undying Faith (2 of 10)
by Brad Whitt
I want you to take God's Word now this morning and be finding your place at Hebrews chapter 11. We are in a series of studies from God's Great Hall of Great Faith that we have entitled "Walking With The Giants." Hebrews 11 gives to us the definition and the description and the demonstrations of what real faith is. And if you'll remember, I shared with you last week a simple working definition of what Biblical faith is. Faith is hearing, believing and acting on the Word of God. It's trusting God in spite of your situation or your circumstances. The Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of...
Enoch
by Charles H. Spurgeon
The three passages of Scripture which I have read are all the authentic information we have concerning Enoch, and it would be idle to supplement it with the fictions of ancient commentators. Enoch is called the seventh from Adam, to distinguish him from the other Enoch of the line of Cain, who was the third from Adam. In the first patriarchs God was pleased to manifest to men portions of the truth in reference to true religion. These men of the olden times were not only themselves taught of God, but they were also teachers of their age and types in whom great truths were exhibited. Abel taught the need of approaching the Lord with...
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
by James Merritt
1. Someone has called the fifth chapter of Genesis ''a desert of death''. You could almost see the caskets and the graves. You can almost hear the widows weeping in the background. You can almost smell the stench of death that arises from this chapter, because over and over we read these words, ''and he died.'' The last words of verse 5 read, ''and he died.'' Verse 8 says, ''and he died.'' Verse 11 says, ''and he died.'' Verse 14 says, ''and he died.'' Verse 17 says, ''and he died.'' Verse 20 says, ''and he died.'' 2. Yet right in the middle of this desert of death stands a lily of life, a little flower, called Enoch. Interestingly very little is said about...
Walking The Talk (5 of 31)
by Ernest Easley
Take God's Word and turn please to Genesis 5. Pastors, I praise the Lord today for you for having led your churches to become soul-winning churches. And I pray God that the Pastors of our state will follow your lead! You indeed are pacesetters among the sea of servants scattered across our state! And I give glory and praise and Hallelujah's unto the Lord because of your conviction and your commitment to building up the Kingdom of God. But I would have to be honest today to tell you that I have a concern these days! I have a burden deep within my soul. And that concern and burden is for pastors who will not only set the pace...
Walking with God
by Jerry Vines
What I am trying to do for you on Sunday nights is to share with you some of the main themes of my ministry and of my preaching, some truths which I have felt to be very important truths. Through these years I have tried to share these with you and that will bring me to some passages of scripture that I have used through the years. If the Lord lets me live three more Wednesday nights I will complete a series in the book of Deuteronomy, which means I will have a series on every book of the Bible. Many of you mark your Bible, and in the margin of your Bible you put when I preached a particular passage of scripture. Sometimes you will come...
Enoch Walked with God (1 of 4)
by Tony Thomas
Andy Warhol was an American artist and producer. In the 60s and 70s he was a household name and he was recognized as a leading figure in pop art. If you've never heard of him, go home and get out a can of Campbell's Soup. Andy Warhol painted the thirty-two original masters for all of the Campbell's Soup labels. Today, Warhol is remembered more for something that was said to him than he is for his artistic work. Nat Finkelstein was shooting a cover-photo for a book when some tourists spotted Warhol and asked to have their picture taken with him. Warhol said to Finkelstein, ''Everyone wants to be famous,'' and...
