There has never been a truer statement than the old saying, “Joy is the byproduct of obedience.” That’s one of the main lessons in 1 Thessalonians, chapter two. Paul had been obedient to the Lord’s calling, and he had gone to Thessalonica and started a church there and many got saved. And so Paul called the converts there “his crown of rejoicing–his crown of joy.” God has called all of us, as we go through life on this earth, to […]

  A few years back a team of Ukrainian astronomers discovered a 1350’ wide asteroid that is on track to hit the earth in 2032. If it were to strike us, the massive asteroid, 2013TV135, would pack quite a punch equivalent to 2500 megatons of TNT, and it would make such a deep impact on earth that it could destroy an entire nation. Personally, I don’t believe the Lord is going to allow any asteroid to devastate the earth in […]

O.S. Marden once wrote, “There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow!” But for a realistic expectation of a better tomorrow, one must have a hope that is real. The church at Thessalonica was facing extreme persecution from both the Jews and the Romans, and so Paul wrote 1 and 2 Thessalonians in order to give them a real expectation of a better tomorrow based upon the […]

If you go online you can find all sorts of “prepper” sites. What’s a “prepper?” He’s someone who’s preparing for doomsday. And on these websites (and many of them are Christian based) you can buy survival kits that will supposedly help you get through the end times. Well, I don’t know about you, but I don’t plan on going through the tribulation, so I don’t need the kind of survival kit these people are selling. But living in these very […]

If you listen to a lot of pastors out there, you would get the idea that God is like a genie that we carry around in a bottle to call upon whenever we have a need in our lives. And if He doesn’t meet our needs when we want, the way we want, then we’re ready to toss Him aside. In today’s text, Jude is going to warn us against becoming people who view God as nothing more than “a […]

Voltaire, the famous French atheist, one time was asked by a like-minded skeptic to speak a word of comfort to a friend who was dying. Voltaire responded, “I don’t think I can do that. The thought of hell plagues me continually!” Even an unbeliever like Voltaire knew deep down inside that he was on “the road to perdition.” But there are many people who claim to be believers who have duped themselves into believing that they are on the road […]

J. Vernon McGee had this to say about the great apostasy in the church today: “It’s an inside job. The betrayal of Christ has always been an inside job. One of His own betrayed Him over to His nation; His nation betrayed Him over to the Romans; and now His church is being betrayed by ones who have gotten in by the side door.” The great apostasy of the church prophesied in the Bible is here! These false teachers like […]

Join us in a study in the book of Amos taught verse by verse by Pastor George. It is a part in the series on the minor prophets. These teachings on Amos are from Wednesday evening service.

Jesus said in Matthew 10:16, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore, be ye wise as serpents and as gentle as doves.” That seems to be a suicidal mission that Jesus gives His followers, because sheep don’t stand much of a chance against a pack of wolves. But even sheep are “more than conquerors” when the Lord is with us. In today’s text, Jude will warn us about heretics (wolves) who have crept in […]

I don’t know about you, but I love to eat fig preserves. I don’t know exactly how they are made or just what ingredients are required by the recipe. All I know is that they are yummy to taste. In today’s lesson, Jude is going to tell us that as Christians we are being preserved for Jesus Christ by Jesus Christ. I don’t have to figure out exactly how He does it. My job in the process is to just […]

In today’s text, we’ll run across a “seedy” character, a preeminent pastor named Diotrephes, who refuses to receive some mission workers recommended by the apostle John himself. Not only does he reject these missionaries, he has the gall to speak maliciously against John. By his bad treatment of these missionaries and his harsh words against John, Diotrephes endangers himself by violating a directive given to all of us in the Word of God: “We are not to touch God’s anointed […]
