Galatians Chapter 5, I'd like us to read verse 7 through to verse number 12, which will be the text that we're considering this morning. Galatians Chapter 5, verse 7: "You ran well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is. And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer per… Continue reading...

Ephesians Chapter 1: Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to God's holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus: grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love, He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordanc… Continue reading...

Galatians Chapter 5, consider verses 1 through 6. "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Indeed, I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by… Continue reading...

Matthew 12, reading from verse 38: Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You." But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because th… Continue reading...

So Mark chapter 15. What I aim to present to you this morning is the sobering reality that we often miss when we talk about the cross. We talk about the love of God demonstrated through His Son on the cross, and that's as true blue as you can imagine. But there's also an ugly side to the cross. The judgment of God was also thrust upon the Son. The weight of sin was cast upon the sinless One. We don't really talk about the excruciating circumstances of the cross in today's world because we live in a generation that is quite sensitive. They ar… Continue reading...

Galatians chapter number 4. And I'd like us to look together at verse number 21 to verse number 31. This is, in many ways, Paul's last argument before he moves into the practical, more applicable part of the epistle. We're going to consider verse 21 to 31 this morning. The Word of God reads, "Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the free wom… Continue reading...

He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light but came to bear witness about the light. The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

He was in… Continue reading...

Greetings from your brothers and sisters in Christ at Emanuel Baptist Church there in Glenwood. God has been very gracious and good to us.

And unlike you down here who are still very young as a church, Emanuel has had the privilege of being in the area where we are for over 50 years. I haven't been there for 50 years, obviously, but I've had the privilege of serving on staff there for about nine years. And we've been blessed by a season of growth in the life of our church. And we do pray for you. And we often hear u… Continue reading...

Galatians Chapter 4:17-20 reads, "They zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them. But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you. My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you."

Father, we come to You now, remembering that Your word is truth. And as our Lord Jesus prayed, so we pray als… Continue reading...

Galatians Chapter 4:8-16

Galatians 4:8 reads, "But then indeed, when you did not know God, you served those things which by nature are not gods." Verse 9 continues, "But now, after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain."

Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You… Continue reading...
