Old and New Testament Giving and Old Testament Tithes and New Testament Grace-Giving
by Harley Howard
As we come into this area on tithes, I guess it would be important to dispel some errors concerning our Christian views that are commonly used about tithing. One of the errors that we as Christians associate with tithing is that only ten percent of our income belongs to God while the other 90% belongs to us. That is a tragic error that needs to be corrected and we will do that right now. 1st Chronicles 29:10-16. Everything comes from God, belongs to God, and whatever we give to God is what is already His. Error number two, tithing was only one tenth percent of one(s) crops, or livestock, etc. That also is not true. We will see that there were...
Grace Revealed in Old Testament (3 of 4)
by Lenny Ports
This story takes place in the book of Exodus which is the book written of the Exodus of the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage, delivered through the Red Sea, and on their way to the Promised Land."Let me give you the background of this story. They have come through the Red Sea, a glorious victory over their enemies. On the way to the Promised Land, they must walk through the wilderness. So the people were thirsty and when they came upon the waters of Marah but they were bitter. 23 "Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore, the name of it was...
Romans 8:28 of the Old Testament
by Ken Trivette
One of the most familiar verses in the N.T. is Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." 2. Romans 8:28 assures that God has a purpose for our life and that all things have a purpose in our life. Romans 8:28 has many times comforted, calmed, and challenged our heart. 3. The O.T. equivalent to Romans 8:28 is found in Genesis 50:20. 4. Background: The Funeral of Joseph's Father The Fear of Joseph's Family 5. What was Joseph's answer to his brother's fears? One of the most thrilling truths we find in the Bible. 1. THE PROBLEMS...
Jesus of the Old Testament (1 of 2)
by Eddie Snipes
Vince Lombardi was one of football's greatest coaches. He coached the Green Bay Packers to five championships. After a disappointing game, Vince walked into the locker room and held up a football. "Men", he said, "This is a football". He went on to make the point that there comes a time when the best strategy is to get back to the basics. There is a great object lesson in that illustration. He stood before champions; in this room were of some of the greatest football players in history. Even the best of the best have to stop and get back to the basics when they get off course. The same is true for Christians. Even the most mature Christian...
An Old Testament Portrait of Jesus (25 of 31)
by Ernest Easley
And on this last Sunday night of 1996, I want to invite you to view an Old Testament portrait of our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ! This morning from Genesis 37 we learned how to make your dreams come true from the life of Joseph. And now tonight as we remain in Genesis 37, we have before us a portrait, a picture of Jesus! So take your Bible and turn again to Genesis 37. Now the Old Testament is full of portraits or pictures of Jesus! When you read the Bible, you ought to always look for Jesus Christ. You can find Jesus in every book in the Bible beginning with Genesis 1.1, ''In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth.'' You...
Lamb of God, Old Testament (1 of 3)
by Duane Bemis
First came the Vision about the Lamb of God One night while in chronic, nagging, horrific pain from the metal grinding upon the vertebrae bones in my neck, I could not sleep. As I went to meet with my Lord, I was given a vision from on High. I will try to explain this vision as it came to me from my Savior. I did not want to give pain a voice so I was seeking the Lord for solace. In this vision I saw Golgotha, place of the skulls, three punisher type skulls where gawking at me with such evil intent. It seemed to me they were smiling in victory. The skulls, as they were smiling produced the final product of sin which is physical and spiritual death...
Christ in the Old Testament
by Jesse Hendley
I want to speak to you this morning on the Lord Jesus Christ found in the Old Testament Scriptures. You know, it is a wonderful thing how the Old Testament POINTS TO HIM. The New Testament tells about Him.In the Old Testament we have Christ PROPHESIED, even details of His life laid out. In the Gospels we have HIS COMING INTO THE WORLD to fulfill those Scriptures that related to His First Coming. In the Epistles we have an EXPLANATION OF HIS WORK by chosen men like the Apostle Paul, who wrote at least thirteen New Testament books explaining the Great Gospel and what it means to the human race and to us...
Students At The Old Testament Seminary
by Rex Yancey
We are looking today at Elisha and one of his students enrolled in the school of the prophets. I have chosen to call this school the Old Testament seminary. I am sure this student was bright and could see with his physical eyes and relate to the world around him. However, he could not see with his spiritual eyes. He had to learn that there are unseen forces in this world. There are some things that can only be seen through the eyes of faith. While the destructive forces remain invisible, the destruction they leave behind is undeniable. Benhadad, King of Syria, had invaded Israel several times. But every time he was about to give the fatal...
The Judas of the Old Testament
by Adrian Rogers
Now I want you to take your Bible tonight and turn to I Kings chapter 2. We are going to talk now on this subject, ''the Judas of the Old Testament.'' The Judas of the Old Testament. First Kings, chapter 2 and we begin reading in verse 5. Now David is coming to the end of his reign, and we're going to skip way ahead therefore in our study in the life of David. And talk about something that happened right at the end of his reign as he is getting ready to turn things over to his son Solomon. And then we're going to go backward in the scripture and bring us back up to the point where we started tonight. Now David is speaking to...
1 Chronicles: Back to the Heart of Worship (4 of 10)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: A contemporary worship song we have been using in recent months has these lyrics: When the music fades, and all has passed away, and I simply come. Longing just to bring something that's of worth, that will bless your heart.I'm coming back to the heart of worship, Cause it's all about You, all about You Jesus. I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it, When it's all about You, all about You, Jesus. I'll bring You more than a song, for a song in its self, is not what You have desired, You search much deeper within from the way things appear, You're looking into my heart. I'm coming back to the heart of worship, Cause it's all about You, all about You Jesus.I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it,When...
The Object and Objective of Our Worship: A Comparison of Old and New Testament Worship
by Lenny Ports
1) out of fear of the wrath of God. Their worship consisted of bloody sacrifices being brought before a Holy God to render forgiveness for their sins. Solomon had built God a house and dedicated it to the Lord in prayer. 2 Chronicles 7:1 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. 2 And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house. 3 When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed...
In All Seasons (3 of 5)
by Josh Malone
I love Fall. The weather, the football, the food. - Now, here we don't get the weather until Nov-Jan.- It's majestic. Life too is full of seasons. - We have times where things fill new and everything is growing... Spring, we have times of rest and fun... Summer, we have times of transition where things wither, or fall away... Fall..ILLUS.- I love Fall.

God's Friend (28 of 64)
by Brad Whitt
If you will, be finding your place once again at Genesis, chapter 15. Tonight we are continuing in our series of studies through this first book in your Bible that we've entitled The Book of Beginnings. What we're looking at here in this study, again, is creation, fall, flood, and covenant. And tonight we're going to be looking at, as I announced this morning, really one of the greatest chapters in all of your Bible. It is a foundational chapter. It is a pivotal chapter. Now it may not seem that way at first, because if you were to try to compare Genesis 15 to Genesis 14, this chapter may seem somewhat boring. There is not all the action...
The Tower of Babel: The Plans of Man and The Purposes of God (10 of 10)
by Josh Malone
What drives your life? What is at the center? What is the reason behind every reason. Set up: Recap Gen. 1-10. Gen. 11:1-9- Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. [2] And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. [3] And they said to one another, ''Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.'' And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. [4] Then they said, ''Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.'' [5] And the LORD came down...
Israel's Priesthood and Humanity's Purpose (14 of 17)
by Drew Hunter
When we think about life as a Christian, there are three orientations. We are oriented upward, inward, and outward. Upward toward God, inward toward one another in the church, and outward toward the world in Mission. We are oriented toward God as we hear from him in the Bible and as we speak to him in prayer. We are oriented inward in the church as we cultivate a culture of love and friendship and service. And we are oriented outward in our vocations and work, and as we live as witnesses to Christ. Three words we use here to describe these are worship, community, and mission. Worship is our upward orientation...
Transformational Encounter (5 of 7)
by Jeff Ecklund
Exodus 3:1-4 (NKJV) 1Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3Then Moses said, ''I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.'' 4So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ''Moses, Moses!'' And he said, ''Here I am.''I want to take this...
Remember the Sabbath (2 of 3)
by Michael White
Morning church! Open your Bibles to Exodus 20. We're looking at verses 8-11. We have the opportunity to look at what is undoubtedly the most misunderstood and ignored 4th commandment: Remember the sabbath. What is the sabbath? Is that one of the commandments that was ''done away with?''I mean- do not murder is obviously still in effect. But what about keeping the sabbath? And probably the majority of us don't even give it a second thought. And I'll say that I've never really deeply though through what to about the 4th commandment and when I was assigned this passage a couple months ago I thoguht, I gotta figure...
Being a Part of the Dream Team (3 of 10)
by Jeff Lynn
Back in 1992 the United States assembled a group of basketball players to play in the Olympics. It was the first time that professional athletes played for the United States Olympic Team. Because they got to pick the top NBA players, the team was collectively called, ''The Dream Team.'' Many consider it the greatest team ever assembled, in any sport. It dominated the Olympic competition, beating its eight opponents by an average of 44 points. It consisted of three of the greatest players ever to play the game: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird, along with Charles Barkley, centers David Robinson and Patrick Ewing...
Here, There, And Everywhere (1 of 4)
by James Merritt
1. Two young boys were just mischief makers. They were always getting into trouble. They disrupted class in school, picked on other kids and took things that didn't belong to them. The teacher, the principal, and their parents were just exasperated. They were at the end of their rope. 2. One day the mother asked her pastor to come and see if he could talk some sense into them. Threats and punishment hadn't worked so the pastor thought he would take a spiritual approach. He wanted those boys to know that God was always around. He sees and knows everything and nobody gets away with anything. So he thought he had figured...
Why Pray? (4 of 9)
by Scott Maze
Americans are on edge. Our stock market has taken a tremendous beating over the past two weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial average plunged 513 points on Thursday and gyrated violently on Friday. The recent debt ceiling negotiation of this past Tuesday has caused Standard and Poor to lower the United States government from its list of risk-free borrowers for the first time in our nation's history. Some are speculating that such a move could cost the national government tens of billions of dollars each year in higher interest payments on our debt. Americans are on edge. 31 Americans were killed yesterday in Afghanistan...
