Sermon on Psalm 146 (again)
I’m still preaching on Psalm 146, with the theme Everyone Has A Saviour! On Easter Sunday (April 8, 2007) I am reflecting on the concluding verses how the Lord will thwart the plans of the wicked, but He Himself will reign forever! Do you have any comments or questions about the passages?
Punishing children… isn’t that harsh?
“At the risk of sounding like a total non believer, I do wonder about the punishment in Exodus 20:5. To me, it sounds a little harsh.” Anyone have any thoughts to share?
Who did Adam and Eve’s children marry?
“Is it allowed in the Bible for brothers to marry their sisters and vice-versa, and if so or not, what did Adam and Eve’s children do (if there was no one else in the world)?” Anyone have any thoughts to share?
Mar 30 — Hebrews 3:1-19
SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 3:1-19 OBSERVATION: A message to those who have accepted Jesus as the messiah, to keep their focus on Jesus through all their trials and challenges. Like Moses, Jesus was faithful to God in fulfilling His assignment; but Jesus is greater than Moses, a “son” compared to a “servant”. As believers we are God’s house…
Mar 29 — Hebrews 2:1-18
SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 2:1-18 OBSERVATION: How much more important is the message of Jesus than the old covenant (vv.1-3). The message of Jesus was confirmed by those with Him (disciples), as well as by God through signs and wonders, and through the Holy Spirit (vv.3-4). The world is entrusted to humans (vv.6-8 quotes Psalm 8:4-6), but we have…
Mar 28 — Hebrews 1:1-14
SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 1:1-14 OBSERVATION: God speaks in a variety of ways but Jesus (the Son) is the ultimate message from God. The Son of God (also known as the “Word of God”, John 1:1-5) is how God made the universe, is the ruler of the universe, and is the revelation of God to the universe (the way…
Mar 27 — Jeremiah 31:23-40
SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 31:23-40 OBSERVATION: Apparently Jeremiah was sleeping when these visions and prophecies came to him in a dream (v.26). The people were living a nightmare (temple destroyed, nation in ruins, living as slaves/captives), so this dream was pleasant, it promised restoration and hope! “The days are coming” is a promise to those who are suffering,…
Mar 26 — Ephesians 2:1-10
SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 2:1-10 OBSERVATION: This passage compares what the Ephesians were before they believed (dead in sin, following the ways of world and Satan) and what they became after they believed (loved by God, made alive, saved by grace, raised with Christ, seated in the heavenly realms). Describes life without God as “gratifying the cravings of…
Mar 25 — Luke 1:26-38
SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:26-38 OBSERVATION: What did the angel look like? Mary is troubled by his words, not by his appearance, so we can presume that he did not appear in a scary way. At other times an angel might be frightening, but it makes sense that he appeared in a positive, non-frightening manner to a young…
