| 87-03-28 A Clash of Wills |
A thought-provoking and captivating narrative of Moses' life and the clash of his will with God's. Also, other's clashes of will with God, including Jesus. Pre-Passover trials and self-examination of our own will and hard-heartedness. Moses was reluctant -- are we? |
| 87-04-14 Unleavened Bread 87 |
This audio opens up with Dart's offertory message containing an interesting perspective on giving to God. The following sermon is a very good narrative and commentary on the Exodus and the exhilarating freedom accompanied by the terrifying responsibility. Why criticism of God is directed at Moses. Rebellion stories. New Testament parallels on the vulnerability and perils of freedom. A list of things to be wary of. What is sincerity and truth? Sometimes unleavened sincerity equals unvarnished truth. |
| 87-05-09 Israel In Prophecy |
Explanation of the covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah; who they were/are and their history. The two sticks of Ezekiel 37 becoming one stick and how it must be still future. Prophecies relating to end-time Israel and end-time Judah. The purpose of prophecy. So, who is Israel today? Our responsibility as a watchman. |
| 87-07-04 No Strings Attached |
It is possible to give without love, but true generosity is giving with no strings attached, no ulterior motives. What about giving to the street beggar? Generosity can be not only with money, but with time, even with judgments. It is easier to be generous when they have a need I can fulfill. Principles of lending from the Biblical law. Are there priorities greater than giving to the poor? Second tithe (festival tithe) and third tithe in this high-tax governmental system discussed. First tithe principles; tax deductions and giving; church politics and giving. God wants people to help people directly - to be personal. Giving has to be with no strings attached or it doesn't mean anything. |
| 87-07-25 Confessing Your Sins |
When was the last time you were wrong? When was the last time to realized you need a savior? Salvation means nothing to one who doesn't think he's done wrong. Why do we try to deny we've been wrong? Biblical examples of vindication of sins, self-justification and mitigation. How do we get right with God? Actions? Repentance? Both? Confession is required to be forgiven and made right with God. To change, we must admit wrong and confess, which require daily daily self-examination and daily self-denial. Yet, if we are going to be made right with God, there are things that must change. Reconciliation of Paul's writings "by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified" and "the doers of the law shall be justified". |
| 87-08-15 From Seed to Harvest |
Nature seems almost wasteful in its prodigious production of seeds similar to the indiscriminate nature of the spread of the gospel. Yet, you can never tell where a tree might grow. Efficiency is not our commission. It is God who grants the increase; we are evaluated by our labor. Similarly, when we help the poor, it is our actions that matter, not the result. The seed must be scattered as was not done by the early church until persecution hit in Acts 8. |
| 87-09-05 Unnatural Acts |
Jesus calls on us not to do what comes naturally, such as hold grudges, lust after a woman, seek financial security, self-exalt, divide, make ourselves of no reputation, esteem others better than self. The natural man receives not the things of the spirit of God. Our human nature must be crucified. |
| 87-09-12 Pattern of Pride |
Excellent self-examination sermon. Prideful behavior is repeated throughout the Bible and follows a pattern. Examples are Satan, Korah, King of Tyre, Pharisees, Corinth church, people who believe they deserve salvation. Discussion of the fruits of pride and the motivations of pride. Pride is the antithesis of repentance and thus stands in the way of salvation, which is why the unpardonable sin may be unpardonable – an unwillingness to repent. Apply this sermon to yourself, but don’t ever try to humble another – let God do that. C.S. Lewis: “the utmost evil is pride . . . pride leads to every other vice . . . pride is enmity.” |
| 87-10-15 Panama City FOT87 |
Why seemingly so much waste in nature, especially in reproduction? Is there a parallel with humans? -- The narrow gate; Few are chosen; To some it's not given; Shut them up to unbelief . . . that He might have mercy. Jesus died for the ungodly. Not willing that any should perish. All Israel shall be saved. The 2nd resurrection. It's not of him that wills . . . but of God's grace. |
