How to Study the Scriptures
by Eddie Snipes
In this modern church age, it seems that the main problem facing the church is a lack of knowledge of God's word. Solomon once stated that there is nothing new under the sun. The problem we face today in the church is identical to the situation the Bible addresses in Hosea 4:6-9 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. 7 " The more they increased, The more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame. 8 They eat up the sin of My...
How to Read Your Bible (3 of 3)
by Ron Dunn
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. In a previous message we laid the foundation this section will build upon. Since so much of our life is affected by our thought life, it's necessary to break the topic into smaller bites. Now that we've explored how we view problems, set our emotional table, and pray with diligence, it's time to go a little deeper into...
How to Read Your Bible (1 of 8)
by Ken Trivette
You have heard it said that when all else fails, read the instruction manual. Today, I want to begin sharing with you an instruction manual for the Christian life. We preachers are notorious for telling you what you need to be doing in your Christian life, but I want to go a step further and not only tell you what you need to do, but also how to do it. The first set of instructions I want to share with you is on how to read your Bible. We know that reading our Bible is very important to our Christian life. I think of what others has said about the Bible. Theodore Roosevelt said, ''A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college...
Read It or Weep!
by James Merritt
1. There has never been another book like it in the history of the world. It has outsold more books than any other book in history; selling at the rate of twenty-five million a year; it is currently being translated into six hundred different languages; and since the turn of the century, there have been over eighty translations in English alone. Of course, I am talking about the Bible. 2. Ninety-three percent of all Americans own a Bible. The average American home has four Bibles. Yet, only 11% of Americans read the Bible every day, and 50% never read it. 3. You may think I am being unfair by including all Americans. But when you look at only those...
Beyond Bible Study (14 of 23)
by Jim Perdue
We're in a series on Sunday evenings entitled, Life By the Book as we study the longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119. The subject of this psalm is the perfect, priceless, precious Word of God. And we've finally made it to triple digits! Tonight, we'll be in Psalm 119:97-104 as we think about the subject, Beyond Bible Study. READ TEXT I'm a fan of technology. I love our modern-day advancements. I told you this morning, my iPhone helps me get through life without constantly disappointing people. But with the advent of new technologies, there are some things that fall by the wayside. Sadly, with new inventions comes collateral...
A Study of Romans Chapter 8
by Rocco Badenhorst
The Greek word for condemnation is Katakrima , that refers to divide Separate Judge Decide against. Jesus came to be the Lawyer to free us from KATAKRIMA But we have to walk in the Spirit and not the Flesh Galatians 5:16 Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill, satisfy the lust of the flesh.. Romans 13: 14 This Christianity is a put on thing. But, put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. To have Gods Anointing upon your life we need to crucify the flesh, the old man the carnal guy. Verse 10-11. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will quicken your mortal bodies....
A Study of the Book of James
by Jesse Hendley
Turn with me now in your Bibles to the Book of James. It is a wonderful book. I have been meditating in it and one of these days soon I hope to go through this marvelous book. It is one of the early epistles, one of the closest to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead and His ascension back to heaven. This book was written about A. D. 50, very close to the time when He died on the Cross and rose from the dead, ascended back to heaven and took His position at God's right hand. A. D. 50! One of the earliest books of the New Testament period. The Book of James. We read these words in the first verse: ''James, a...
Michal and David: A Study in Bitterness
by Miles Seaborn
A woman's face peeks out of a window in the palace of the King of Israel as it watches the huge procession making it way down the street. The face becomes twisted in rage and hate. A woman whirls away to perhaps throw herself on the bed and weep in rage and self-pity. Who was the woman? She Michal, daughter of Saul, wife of King David. The Bible says in 2 Samuel 6;16, ''As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord and she despised him in her heart.'' ''Despised!'' In Hebrew that is a very, very strong word...
A Study of Ephesians (1 of 21)
by Zach Terry
INTRODUCTION: Since I was first saved I have been a big fan of Christian books, especially the old ones. You see I have found that spiritual success leaves clues. If you find a man or a woman who is made an impact for the Kingdom, you will discover that they were engaged in certain disciplines, habits, and practices. As you read different books you will recognize that godly people hold many of those habits in common. It is then that you have discovered one of the clues to success. But with that said, I would rather spend 10 mins with the author than 10 weeks with the book. Better yet, I would prefer to do both. You see, I can't help...
Why You Should Study the Bible (3 of 6)
by James Merritt
INTRODUCTION 1. The Bible is the book that is owned by more people in America than any other single book. But what do Bible owners really know about the Bible? 82% say the idea that ''God helps those who help themselves'' is taken directly from the pages of the Bible. 66% say there is no absolute truth. 63% cannot name the four gospels. 58% cannot name half or more of the Ten Commandments. 58% do not know Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount. 52% do not know the book of Jonah is in the Bible. 48% do not know the book of Thomas is not in the Bible. 39% do not know Jesus was born in Bethlehem. 30% do not know...
How to Live a Godly Life (9 of 14)
by Jim Perdue
Intro/Attention As we continue to study the book of 1 John in our series entitled Authentic Christianity, we come to a set of verses today that shows us How to Live a Godly Life. There are many ''how-to'' books and workshops these days. There are all sorts of instructions for almost anything you can imagine. In fact, do you remember Home Depot's slogan from a couple of years ago? ''You can do it, we can help.'' In fact, these days, if you want to build something, fix an appliance, or repair your vehicle, you can find a YouTube video for virtually anything. Just look it up. Now, it might look easier on video, but there are some experts...
How Do I Know If I Have Eternal Life? (41 of 44)
by Patrick Edwards
[Begin with clip from Braveheart on leading the people to freedom] Braveheart is one of my all-time favorite movies. On the surface it's a story about the Scottish fight for freedom in the 13th century against the English. But watch the movie and you soon find that the fight is much more complex, as the clip showed. Really it's a story about Scotland's fight with herself for freedom, and it is this story that raises the ultimate question of, ''What exactly is freedom?' What a timely question, as we celebrate this weekend the 4th of July and our nation's independence. I think this is the perfect time to ask, ''What exactly is freedom?...
How to Love and How to Be Loved
by Adrian Rogers
Take your Bibles and turn to Galatians chapter 5, and in a moment I want to begin reading in verse 19. I want to talk to you about love, How to Love and How to Be Loved. Now, we have a generation today that talks an awful lot about love, but, very frankly, folks, we have a generation that knows perhaps less about love than any generation since the time of Christ. It is amazing how the word love has been twisted, perverted, and misused and abused today. People just don’t understand what love is. So many people think that love is an inexpressible emotion, sort of a outward inexpressibility of an inward all overishness. They just don’t even...
Tackling the Bible
by Bob Wickizer
''For Christ also suffered for sins once for all'' Mention one religious term and you are likely to run into a storm of controversy and misunderstanding. Consider the term ''sin'' we just heard in these towering words from Peter. Catholic theology - mortal and venial Protestant theology - notorious (in the prayer book disciplinary rubric) Grievous (in the confessional) American - The only kind of sin that matters involve sex (started by a 19th century politician) OR the only sin that matters is if I get caught. Over the centuries we have added layers of meaning to an important term and taken it far away from the original concept...
Is the Bible Infallible?
by Jesse Hendley
If you have your Bibles, friends, turn with me, please to the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 35. Our subject today is, ''Is the Bible Infallible?'' Is the Bible trustworthy? Is it without error? Is it dependable? We are living in a time when there are attacks from every side on the integrity of the Bible. Attacks by Sinners Sinners are attacking the Bible by their very lives. In the Book of Romans, chapter 1, verse 18, God says that people who live in sin and unrighteousness, ''hold the truth in unrighteousness.'' Literally, they ''hold back, hold down,'' the Truth by their unrighteous living. People who live in sin hold down the Truth......
The Most Neglected Truth in the Bible
by Jerry Vines
I'm sure all of you have seen a picture, which is an optical illusion. On the image they have put up an illusion that is familiar to many of you. If you are familiar with it you immediately recognize it and know what it is. Others of you may not be familiar with it and you don't know what it means. When you look at it it really doesn't have a great deal of meaning. If you will keep looking at it and keep looking at it you will find that there is a wonderful, wonderful message there, which just overrides everything else in the picture. An optical illusion gives you a picture so big that if you are not careful you will miss the meaning of it altogether. The...
Is The Bible Just Another Book?
by Ernest Easley
This past June during the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention there was a lengthy discussion regarding the new Baptist Faith and Message. Now if you’re not familiar with the Baptist Faith and Message, it is a summary of what Baptists believe. The first one was written in 1925. The second one was written in 1963. And now we have the 2000 version. You ask, “Why is it necessary to keep updating the Baptist Faith and Message if it is a summary of what Baptists Believe?” Well, it’s not so much what we believe has changed, it is what we face that has changed. This generation of Christians...
