Revelation 22 pictures paradise reclaimed and offers a path to it. In this chapter we find 1) A Reward for the Faithful 2) A Watch for the Living, 3) A Warning for the Wicked. The hearer should understand that God is working to restore us to His original plan and we must obey him to get there.
In Psalm 2 we see the eternal reign of the Messiah: 1) The Enemies of the Messiah 2) The Establishment of the Messiah, 3) The Edict of the Messiah, 4) The Ends of the Messiah. The hearer will understand that Psalm 2 prophecies about the eternal reign of the Messiah. Opposition to God’s plans will not succeed but only result in failure and wrath from God.
The Bible teaches us some specific things NOT to envy. In this lesson we will note that we ought not to envy 1) the man of violence, 2) the arrogant, 3) the unrighteous and sinner. I want the hearer to be able to know that God has specifically forbidden envy of certain things. We are to avoid envy and especially envy of these specific things.
There is a measure of comfort to the foreknowledge of God. It's nice to know that God knows what is happening to me and what is going to happen to me. I can trust that he will take care of every situation in my life. He has the knowledge and the power to so act so as to provide for my entire life. Were such not the case, then what kind of god would we have? One who is unsure of himself and his future. That's not the kind of god that I would desire to worship and serve, would you?
Are we accepting the penitent and helping them change, or are we enabling the divisive? May God help us to follow His pattern.
Rev.15-16 show God’s complete judgment on the creation. We note that God’s Judgment of Wrath Is: 1) Not for the Victorious, 2) Holy, 3) Executed Perfectly, 4) Complete and Affects the Whole Creation, 5) Blasphemed by the Impenitent, 6) Unexpected, 7) Without Refuge. Each will understand how Rev.15-16 present the characteristics of God’s judgment. I want to help all see how Revelation 15-16 is relevant today.
In this lesson, we will set forth three lessons from Matthew’s account of the birth of Christ: 1) God keeps his promises, 2) Obedience leads to salvation, 3) Jesus is the Messiah. Each hearer should understand these lessons from Christ’s birth. God’s will cannot be thwarted when men do their part in the process of salvation.
Paul refers to God's plan to save man through Jesus. The term "mystery" was often used in the New Testament to refer to the message of the gospel as it has been revealed through God's Son, Jesus. Romans 16:25, 26 point this out.
We will look at the parable and then draw out some principles. We need to take care of God’s people as Jesus desires, not as we desire.
In this lesson we will study the story of the rich man and Lazarus and notice: 1) The characters, 2) The circumstances, 3) The cries of the rich man, 4) The conclusions of the story. Each listener should be able to understand the story, repeat it, and explain it. I hope to to familiarize everyone with this story and teach its lessons so as not to fall into similar circumstances as the rich man.
The section of scripture with which we are concerned falls within the sundry warnings that Jesus is giving to his disciples regarding the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Jesus words to them are basically this. Don't expect that you will receive a warm welcome out of the unfaithful. When you preach the gospel, people are going to become your enemies. In this sense, Jesus' came to bring a sword. The warning of Micah describing the unfaithful holds true here. Even among families, there will be division. This is the typical response of the unfaithful.
In this lesson, we will discuss the conversion of the three thousand in Acts chapter 2 and the essential ingredients to effective evangelism. This includes 1) The Presence of the Holy Spirit, 2) People of the Dispersion, 3) Prophets of the Old Testament, 4) Preachers of the Gospel, 5) Penitent of Heart, 6) Persistent in Faithfulness. The hearer should be familiar with the events in Acts 2 and the principles of evangelism as related to this conversion account. The aim of this lesson is to help the hearer understand more about the principles of evangelism taught in Acts 2.

we can sometimes forget that God is the One from whom all blessings flow, and we can begin to think that we have earned these blessings through our own righteousness.
