Sermons on Isaiah (Page 2)
Potential Unleashed (Zech Part 3)
We have this Word, full of promises, that we can stand on that reveals to us all the things that we can do in His strength. It’s not about how we feel – it’s about the absolute truth that is our foundation. God has ordained for us to walk in victory.
Blind Bartimaeus Could See
Bartimaeus may have been blind, but he could see what the religious leaders refused to see. He knew that Jesus was his Messiah and he knew how much he needed Him. Religion blinds us to truth. We need to drop our filthy rags of self-righteousness and cry out, “Have mercy on me, O Thou Son of David”.
Tremble At His Word
The Jews didn’t understand the covenant was about to end because they weren’t close enough to God to hear His voice and because they weren’t interested in giving up their kingdoms for His. The Christian Church is in much the same position today. The covenant is about to end, and most Christians have no understanding of that. We’re preoccupied with big buildings and…
The Will To Do His Will
There are two spiritual kingdoms – the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. The desire to do His will is the ingrained evidence of God’s indwelling presence. The new man would want to do what pleases God. The old man cannot because it’s not under His dominion. If I want to do His will, He will lead me because I’m not in conflict with Him.
Purpose of God
God has a purpose in all our lives. Sometimes we go through really hard things to either prepare us for His use or so that those around us can see Him working through our circumstances. In the midst of the devil’s lying voice we need to remain steadfast and hold to the promises of God, trusting that He has a plan we cannot yet see.
Healing the Blind & the Lame
We’re in an hour when the Church can’t afford to get it’s eyes off the eternal. We no longer have the time to become entangled in earthly squabbles. If ever the light of Jesus needed to shine, it is now. If we’re going to take the message of salvation to the world, our vessels must be clean. Jesus will cleanse this temple that we are if we want Him more than we want the…
Trust and Obedience
God is drawing us into deeper relationship with Him so we want to be consecrated to Him. Out of that consecration comes perfect trust and a desire to obey Him, no matter the cost.
The Value of the Laver
Before the priests went into the Holy Place, they had to stop at the laver and wash. It had no dimensions because the laver is a picture of the Word of God. It was made from the looking glasses of the women, covered with water. God takes out of our hands the mirrors we examine ourselves by, and He helps us examine ourselves by what He says and not the knowledge of good…
Sons of Belial
Sons of Belial were part of the congregation, trusted leaders with a preponderance to move away from the true doctrine of God, and the ability to take others with them. These sons do things according to their flesh, fighting against the authority of God by doing the things of God in their own way, refusing to bow to Kingdom of God. Scripture gives us several examples of…
Numbering Our Days
The events that are going on around us and the demands on our time press us to choose between the material world we live in and the realities of eternal choices. God is bringing all of our hearts into a place of decision about what we want to do with Him. When we assign a number to our days we maintain a sense of where we are on the timeline and a motivation to hold to…
