Zechariah 2:1-13, The Vision of the Surveyor
This evening, we’re coming to chapter 2 of Zechariah. In Scripture, when you see something mentioned more than once, God wants us to take notice of it. Zechariah is speaking to the people from Israel who had been taken captive into Babylon, and later had been, as Babylon had been defeated by the Medo-Persian Empire, They were now under the direction of Cyrus, and we studied the last time we met about the fact that Cyrus had encouraged them to,…
Romans 3:20-31, Righteousness Through Faith
This morning if you have your Bibles and will turn with me, we want to continue our study through the book of Romans. And this morning we are finding ourselves at Romans chapter 3:20-31 and I’d like to begin at verse 20. Romans 3:20-31 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,…
Zechariah 1:7-21 Meaning: The Visions of the Horses and Horns
I want to pick it up at Zechariah where we left off the last time. We’ll be looking beginning at verse 7, and if we have time tonight we’ll be going through the end of the chapter. Zechariah is coming, as we mentioned, on last Wednesday evening. He’s coming to the nation of Israel with a message from God to encourage them to not give up. And to encourage them to look to the Lord. And he’s also going to…
Romans 3:9-14 Explained: Why No One Is Righteous Before God
What does it truly mean to be “under sin”? In Romans 3:9-14. Drawing on the Old Testament passages, Paul levels the playing field for all humanity by famously declaring that “none is righteous, no, not one.” Understanding the Romans 3:9-14 meaning is critical to grasping the rest of the New Testament. Before we can fully appreciate the beautiful gift of God’s grace, we must first confront this heavy truth: apart from Christ, every aspect of human life is corrupted by…
Zechariah 1:1-6
This evening I want to start a new study, and we’re going to be looking at the book of Zechariah. We’ve been looking at the prophets of the Old Testament, following looking at the kings of Judah and Israel. We’ve tried to show how they line up with the periods of history, and I wanted to look at the book of Zechariah for a few reasons. Number one, Zechariah has more prophecies dealing with Jesus’ Messiah than any other prophet…
Jesus Described in the Word, Part 2
This evening we want to continue the last few titles that Jesus has given, descriptive titles, in dealing with him as the true God and the Redeemer of our souls. Ezekiel in his letter uses many of these terms and we looked at some of them last week and we will be looking at the last few this afternoon. I want to start out with the term, the stone the builders rejected. This term is used throughout scripture in speaking…
Romans 3:9-31, No One is Righteous
This morning if you have your Bibles, we want to continue our study through the book of Romans. This morning if you would turn with me to Romans chapter 3. I’d like to begin at verse 9 to the end of the chapter. Romans 3:9-31 9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none…
The Bible is About Jesus
This evening we’ve been looking at the Millennial Kingdom. Last time we were looking at characteristics of the Millennial Kingdom and when it was going to come about. And this evening I want us to look at the Messiah who is going to come and establish his kingdom in the Millennial Kingdom, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. And one of the things you see is God’s commitment to the nation of Israel. And one of the sad things…
Romans 3:1-8
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. 3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. 5 But…
Jesus Described in the Word
This evening, I’d like to take a look at, in Daniel, and in other portions of Scripture, the Lord has given different names which refer to parts of His character. And we’re going to be taking a look at those, some of those this evening. And so before we begin, let’s just bow in prayer. Father, I pray that You just speak to us through Your Word this evening. And Father, I pray that You would help us to look…
What does the Bible Teach About the Millennial Kingdom
What does the Bible teach about the millennial kingdom and the things that are coming? And then on Wednesday, we’ll be looking at some of the names of Jesus biblically that talk aboutHim and the millennial. The word millennium, as we talked of last week, means a thousand years. It’s mentioned six times in Romans 20, which we mentioned last time. The coming of the Messiah will make it all possible, and we mentioned that last Sunday as well.And a…
Rom 2:17-29; Hypocrites
A direct critique of religious hypocrisy. The false security being religious without relationship with Jesus. This morning we want to continue in our study through the book of Romans And so if you have your Bibles with you this morning if you would turn with me to the book of Romans chapter 2. Paul is writing the book of Romans for a couple reasons one to challenge the church which was in its infancy stages at this point in time…
