Don't Get It Twisted
I am sure you have heard the phrase, “Don’t get it twisted.” In the last few years, it has become a cliché’. It alludes to a cable or water hose which always gets twisted and has to be untangled before the next use. It is easily twisted, but difficult to untangle. Most of us know how tangled up our computer or TV cables can become. Figuratively, it refers to someone taking several facts and drawing a false conclusion.
Victory In The Valley
God sent a nameless discerning prophet to inform the Israelite army what their enemies were about to do and also what God was about to do in response. This nameless prophet told them the Syrian army would attack them in the valley, but just as the battle on the hill, God’s people would be victorious once again. It would be more decisive than the previous battle on the hill. It would demonstrate that God’s power is unlimited and would preserve His people and give Himself glory!
A Doxology That Exalts God And Encourages Believers
God’s Word is amazing. It is both timely and timeless. Like a multifaceted diamond, it looks differently as you view it from various angles. Yet, each point of perception is just as beautiful as all the rest. Like the ocean, where a small child can wade safely or a cargo ship can sail across continents, God’s Word has depths of a few inches and depths of several miles to accommodate various uses.
Supply And Demand (God’s Divine Economy)
In our text, as Moses blessed the tribe of Asher, he told them that God would provide them strength to meet the needs of each day. “As thy days, so shall thy strength be.” This reminds me of how God’s divine economy of grace is different from our modern economies.
The Isaac Test
There comes a time in life where each of us must undergo a crucial test. Life is full of tests from the womb to the tomb, but one may be the toughest we will ever have to encounter. Such was the case of Abraham in our text.
Holy Helpers
These two verses of Scripture could easily spawn multiple sermons or Bible lessons. However, we are concentrating on the one word, which the King James Version translates as, “helps.” We could say today, helpers or assistants. Yes, helping is a spiritual gift and there are many members of Antioch who possess it.
How Much More? (A Father's Day Sermon)
I will begin by saying that we have some great fathers at Antioch-Lithonia. Jesus used an inequality, in this Scripture, to express how great God’s love is toward us. He stated the attributes of a great human father, and then stated that God’s love is so much greater.
Stop And Celebrate! Then Resume Your Journey
The children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for forty years. Periodically, Moses would stop in a favorable place, and there they would celebrate the goodness of God and praise Him for things being as well as they were. There was a tendency by some to make this location their permanent residence. They wanted to settle there and not go to the promise land.
It's Time For A Proper Introduction
While Paul was in Athens, he used the idea of the unknown god to segue into witnessing about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Paul affirmed that there was a God of whom they had been ignorant. Paul took this witnessing and teaching moment to properly introduce them to This Unknown God. He made the unknown God, known to them.
Defeating Doubt
Doubt and discouragement can infect the best of us. John the Baptist is now at the lowest point in his ministry. He is now second-guessing his whole life’s work. He is wondering if he made a mistake in declaring that Jesus is the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world.
Divine Deliverance
Paul gives us more of his personal history in this letter than in any of his other epistles. He tells of his escape from Damascus in a basket. He tells of his experience of being caught up in the third heaven. He speaks of his thorn in the flesh. He speaks many times of his unusual suffering.
A Great Lesson From A Chicken (A Mother’s Day Sermon)
This passage of Scripture is unique in many ways. Jesus uses a figure of speech to describe Himself in a way that is very strange and even awkward for us to repeat. We are used to quoting Him as He said He is the Good Shepherd. We are familiar with Him referring to Himself as the Bread of Life.
The Impact Of The Cross
We have just celebrated the resurrection of our Savior. Why go back so quickly to the sadness and horrors of the cross of Calvary. There are two reasons. The first reason is obvious. This is the scheduled communion Sunday for our congregation. Secondly, because, unapologetically, Christianity is the religion of the cross.
