Bible Sermons

Translating the Bible involved (and still today involves) more than merely interpreting words and/or thoughts, and consequently has left us with some misunderstood verses, which frequently has also led to misquoting those same passages. This book addresses 52+ of those verses and, in addition to helping the reader, would be a great resource for sermon starters, mid-week Bible studies, or small group discipleship. In addition to clarifying some of the misinterpreted words, the ‘back story’ to some of the verses is shared in an effort to better illustrate the intention of the author.

Nothing lifts our spirits and brings us peace, as does hearing the good news of great joy, which is for all people—and that is the miraculous birth of our Savior. In recent years, you have noticed a shocking failure on the part of pastors to bring forth this good news. The Incarnation. Angelic visitations. Kings and wise men seeking and worshipping the newborn Babe. God wrapped in human flesh! Everyone involved rejoicing exceedingly at the hearing of it! Of a truth, it is one of three Great Events of history. Yet today the church avoids it. Avoids celebrating and sharing His triumphant ...

I have published this little volume very much in self-defense. Some years ago I delivered a lecture on "Eccentric Preachers," and a reporter's notes of it were published in one of the newspapers. These, like all such things, were mere pickings and cuttings, and by no means the lecture itself. Gentlemen of the press have an eye to the amusement of their readers, and make selections of all the remarkable anecdotes, or odd sayings, used by a speaker, and when these are separated from their surroundings the result is anything but satisfactory. No man's speeches or lectures should be judged of ...

Preaching through Revelation is a series of forty sermons on every passage in this unique book. Every sermon includes numerous cross-references and ends with a series of questions for review. The author takes a conservative approach while interpreting the book as apocalyptic literature. Often several plausible interpretations are presented.

From Creation to Covenant. From Wilderness to Worship. From Ruin to Restoration. Step into the sweeping story of God’s faithfulness—one promise, one prophet, one turning point at a time. Beginnings and Promises invites you on a powerful journey through the foundational books of the Old Testament, where God reveals His heart through miracles, messengers, and moments of mercy. From the call of Abraham to the courage of Esther, from Sinai’s fire to the Psalms of David, each chapter offers rich devotional insight grounded in Scripture. You’ll walk with saints and sinners, leaders and ...

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among men in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God. The Logos, resisted and rejected as reason, as general revelation, and as special (redemptive) revelation, comes once more to man and is crucified. He came to accomplish redemption and now rules to apply redemption. Jesus came as Messiah, full of grace and truth. It is by His life and death that this grace and truth come.

Life is a story. A good movie or book places us “in” the action. We feel like we can relate to, and understand the characters. We cheer for the hero and disdain the villain. Two-thirds of the Bible is written in historical narrative—stories about people. Jesus taught using stories. The stories in the Bible are replete with drama, mystery, and even humor. Like popular movies and novels, Bible stories have intriguing plots of love, friendship, betrayal, competition, murder, and war. Yet, many times they seem boring and we have trouble relating to the characters. Through first-person ...

Liar:Liar pants on fire. There are so many verses in the Bible which are not preached from the pulpit, and no wonder. If they were, churches would have more empty pews than they do now. This is an honest, and in parts, comical adaptation of some of the chapters which are deliberately missed out in sermons. I have not written this book to change the readers mind, nor to invoke hatred or violence. Nor do I dislike any religious believer, or worshiper, who believe in any of the different Gods in the World. I wrote it in the futile hope of someday understanding the conflicting viewpoints. I ...

OUR Lord had been persecuted, and therefore he put forth many proofs of his power. When opposition attends the gospel it will be the more triumphant ; the warnings of the devil prognosticate the success of the word. When our Lord Jesus had done much, he was under a sacred necessity to do more; for every one who was healed busied himself in spreading abroad the fame of the beloved Physician, and others labouring under similar infirmities hastened at once to receive the like cure. The more we do for Christ the more we may do, and I think usually the more we must do. If we hold back from ...

Expository sermons through the book of Genesis. Can be used as sermon helps or small group study or personal devotions. Dozens of cross-references in every passage. The emphasis is on understanding the text and its connection with Christ, concluding with application to real life situations.

The Bible refers to God's grace as God's throne - "throne of grace" - where the believer enters boldly. The Lord rules the world by grace from his throne. I pray I can help the reader see how this actually plays out and gives meaning to "saved by grace" in each individual life. Grace, as we will see, is God's moving upon our hearts and using our abilities and gifts. It allows each of us to accomplish the things for which God saved us. God's grace is supremely important, but exactly What Is Grace?
