Genesis 19:1-29 The Judgment on Sodom If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 19. Last week in our study of Genesis 18, the Lord revealed to Abraham his plan to judge Sodom and Gomorrah. And Abraham was moved to intercede on behalf of the loss in those cities and he pled with the Lord mightily, interceded for Him, taking the place of the covenant mediator or representative and intercede for those who were under the condemnation of God's righteous judgment. This week we came to the graphic sequel. And very frankly, there are parts of this passage and other passages in Genesis that are a little embarrassing to read, but the Lord has put them in His words, and according to Paul in his book of Timothy, all scripture is profitable and it's for our…

The Blessings of the Curses

Please turn with me to Genesis, chapter 3. We’re continuing our study in the book of Genesis, those foundations of the faith that are set forth there. And last week we looked specifically at the account of Adam's fall in Genesis 3, verses 1 through 13, and we saw there in that account several important things about the nature of sin. For one thing we saw that sin in its essence is rebellion. It is lawlessness. It is rejection of and rebellion against God's good law. The order that He has established in the universe for us. Also we saw in the second part of that passage, especially in verses 6 and 7, that sin always carries with it shame. The idea of sin occurring without correspondent shame is a nonpossibility in the world which God has created. Shame is always involved in sin,…

The Fall 1

If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 3 and we're going to attend to the first thirteen verses. Genesis 3. Hear the word of the living God: Genesis 3:1-7 Our Father, we bow before You in Your sovereignty and in your goodness as we read Your word, and we ask that You would enlighten our own hearts to the truth, not only that we would understand the passage and the doctrines that it teaches, but that we would be warned off by the Holy Spirit from our own sins. We pray, Heavenly Father, that we would learn these lessons experientially and personally in such a way that we would believe the truth that You have taught us in Your word. We pray as well that You would be glorified in us as we obediently receive the truth of the word of God in our own…

The Incomparable Christ – Exposition of…

Colossians 1:13-20The Incomparable Christ #4 If you will kindly take your Bibles and turn with me to Colossians chapter 1, we will continue our study of this great book. We began our study by saying that the Apostle Paul was writing to the Colossians, who were being infested with new teachers who brought a new teaching. That teaching did not deny the supremacy of Christ, but by suggesting that one needed to move on from the gospel which Epaphras, Paul's faithful friend, and the man who first…
