Though it was short lived. An hour ago my wife and I (and four very scared dogs) heard the loudest thunder and lightning storm that we’ve ever heard in this part of Southern California. So while still in the dark, I turned our tablet on, and starting reading Scriptures about thunder. This was certainly one
Have you ever been discouraged why more people do not become saved under your preaching, teaching, or ministry? I believe these prophetic words will explain why, and will encourage you. Though we should never stop trying to maximize our effectiveness (Biblically), but we can rest assure that that sometimes it is God’s will to harden
The sermon notes to this sermon, can be found below the embedded video. Now in part two, in verses 5-7 we will study the following. ‘The vessel to honor,’ which is prepared by ~ (a) confession (b) provision (c) the remission of sins. Let us first read the Text, verses 5-7. 5 Then said I,
The sermon notes to this sermon, can be found below the embedded video. During the early church the book of Isaiah was known as the “fifth Gospel.” I could imagine how the Apostles used this book as their “gospel,” and how they lived out this message in their ministry.

This was a diverse crowd. One woman attempted to thwart my preaching, some nodded their heads ‘yes,’ while others ‘no.’ Another woman responded in tears, seemingly in repentance and faith; other professing Christians rejoiced. NOTE: This “Oppressor” or destruction by the Lord in verse 38, is (or can be) either the Lord directly Himself, or
After preaching this message, I had some great conversations and questions. The conversation with the “combat vet” was edited out. Thankfully he won’t have to carry those heavy burdens anymore. Thank You Lord for that opportunity. Doxology by Angie Lewis.
Perhaps this might be the most important message I’ve ever uploaded to YouTube? Over the years we’ve heard this parable taught by many Bible teachers. But often times the teacher places too much emphasis on Israel, the wedding, the bride, the groom, and/or their culture. When in fact many teachers failed to concentrate on the
In this parable the Lord Jesus warned that His mighty angels will ‘sort out’ and ‘judge’ all of humanity within this dragnet. And then they will ‘sever’ the ‘wicked,’ from the ‘just.’ I spoke of the ‘three people groups’ that will be caught up in the dragnet. They are the born-again Christians, the non-saved, and
I preached out of Revelation 19. I refuted the unbiblical portraits of Jesus that many have inside their churches and homes, and told them what the Scriptures say about His appearance.

In spite of my Elmer Fudd speech failures, the Lord reigned on this line of people, the Lord’s Word was heard loud and clear. Many were encouraged, one asked for prayer (upper left corner video), some asked questions, conversations ensued (omitted). All by the grace of God, and for the glory of God. Lord willing
The outline is as follows. 1. In verses 1-3 the ‘Nations are raging’ (a Theological conspiracy theory) A. The formality of their rebellion (2:1) B. The force of their rebellion (2:2) C.
