Present Suffering/ Future Glory

Present Sufferings/Future Glory Romans 8:15-25 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to take them and turn with me to Romans, chapter 8. We've already said that in Romans 6 through 8, God is teaching us how it is that grace reigns in righteousness. In Romans, chapter 6, He teaches us the fountain, the source of all godliness, union with Christ. In Romans, chapter 7, He explains to us that even in believers, believers united to the Lord Jesus Christ, there continues to be a strenuous conflict with sin, for there is a remnant of sin, an indwelling of sin, and thus because of the very indwelling of the Holy Spirit; there is a war engaged that does not end until sin itself is conquered and removed in glorification. And then in Romans, chapter 8, Paul begins to comfort us, comfort us…

Children of God

Children of God Romans 8:12-17 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 8. We've said that Romans, chapters 6 through 8 speak of the issue of how grace reigns in righteousness, and that Romans, chapter 8 in particular, discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. And in our first two studies, we've been able to look at some of the specifics of Romans 8. In verses 1 through 4 for instance, we learned how it is that we are able to grow in grace, despite indwelling sin. In verses 5 through 11, we saw the difference between a life of worldliness and life of godliness, and how the Spirit makes those things distinct. And the passage that we are looking at today in verses 12 through 17, we will see how the Holy Spirit shows us…

Peter’s Denial

If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 26, the 69th verse of that chapter, as we come now to the end of this passage, which we have said all along is preparatory to the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every event recorded by Matthew, in Matthew, chapter 26 prepares us for what we are going to see in Matthew, chapter 27 on the day of our Lord’s crucifixion. It sets the stage and such is the case with the passage we are studying today. Let me just say as you are turning to the end of Matthew 26, you can’t understand the passage which is before us now if you don’t remember what we learned in Matthew 26, verses 30 through 35. If you’d look at those verses just briefly, I’ll remind you. You remember that after the institution of the Lord’s…

Jesus’ Prophecy of the Consummation of the…

That's a great promise, indeed. If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Matthew chapter 24. Today we come to a new section of the gospel of Matthew. Its the second longest of the six sermons that Matthew records from our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching in this section has reference to events that would transpire shortly after Jesus' death, resurrection and ascension. But the teaching of this passage also has reference to events that still await fulfillment,…

Blessed is the One Who Waits

Please turn with me in your Bibles to Daniel, chapter 12. Tonight we come to the last chapter of Daniel and the conclusion of the study of this great book. We have observed a number of times now that Daniel 1 through 6 records God's sovereignty in the life of Daniel, and Daniel 7 through 12 gives us a glimpse of the spiritual realities that lie behind his public ministry. And we've said the whole book is about the blessings of knowing God. Daniel is one of the great biblical models of…

The Ambassadors of the Kingdom, Part 3: Persevere in…

Turn with me in your Bibles if you will, to Matthew chapter 10. If you remember in our previous studies of this particular chapter, in the first few verses Christ appoints an inner circle of twelve disciples and then in verses 5-15, He begins to give them specific instructions on what they are to do in their first mission journey on His behalf. They are to go into the towns and surrounding villages of the countryside in which they are, to proclaim the kingdom of heaven. They are to go out…

The Incomparable Christ – Exposition of…

Colossians 3:22 – 4:1The Incomparable Christ – Part 15 Please turn in your Bibles to Colossians chapter three, where we continue our study in Paul's great letter. Throughout we have said that believers are complete in Christ, particularly as we look at chapter three, we see Paul applying the principle of the Lordship of Christ, the supremacy of Christ, the rule of Christ in a variety of our relationships: our personal piety and walk with God, our relationship to one another in…
