The Lord’s Supper: It’s Old Testament Background
Today, we begin our study of the Lord’s Supper. Out of all the doctrines and practices of Christ’s Church since the time of the Reformation this particular one has used up the most ink! Page after page, and book after book, have been written setting forth the Bible’s teaching on the Lord’s Supper–that it is an on-going memorial feast whereby Christ is spiritually present in the hearts of all who trust in Him. It is always helpful, of course, to understand where these beliefs and practices come from, and so let us look to the Old Testament to find the theological...

One of the most beloved Psalms. Biblical doctrine for the forgiveness of sins. Promises of God for those who obey Him. Sovereignty of God. Character of God.

Text: Micah 7 Today we conclude our study of Micah’s prophecy. Rest assured, though, that this is not the conclusion of all the specific details of Micah’s prophecy!

Courtroom situation. God’s pattern of deliverance. Conform our life to the written word of God. Priority on union and communion with the Living Lord. Take captive evil and wicked thoughts. Repent of prideful, selfish, and independent attitudes. Story from General Assembly. Text: Micah 6:1-16 We return today to the exposition of the Prophet Micah. He asks a noteworthy question: “What does the Lord require?” This question appears only once before in the Bible when Moses asks, And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to walk in all his ways, to love...

Text: 1 Peter 3:7-9 Life doesn’t always boil down to a simple mathematical formula, but in the case of Christian marriage the following really works: Spiritual Regeneration + Biblical Reconstruction = Marital Reformation So, who is this message for?
