Old Testament Expectation of Miracles for the Messiah
The miraculous is to be expected whenever God must make a statement to arrest the attention of His intended audience, which serves His purpose, when ordinary means would not be sufficient. This must be so, since He alone determines when the ordinary must be replaced by the extraordinary. Even our day to day obedience, though…
Synopsis of John 2
In our survey of the Gospel of John, I was asked to speak on John, chapter 2. But first, let us pray. Father, anoint me that I may reveal the truth as it is in Jesus (Ephesians 4:21). Cause us to be satisfied with nothing less than a faith in Jesus requiring total commitment to…
Sermon on John 2
I’d like to share with you from the Gospel of John 2. But first, let us pray. Heavenly Father, prepare our hearts to give and receive the truth of Your Word by Your Spirit that You would receive all the glory. In Jesus’ name, amen. [DISPLAY OUTLINE OF JOHN 2] Two events are portrayed in John…
Did You Pray About It, Grandma?
Little children asking us to pray about something is unexpected and humbling. My 93 year old mom recounted a story about losing the diamond from her wedding ring more than 40 years ago, when her 5 or 6 year old grandson asked what she was doing. Looking for the diamond that fell out of her…
How to Know That You Know You’re a Christian
You’ve prayed the sinner’s prayer, been baptized, attend or joined in membership to a church, volunteered your service with the church, and even contributed financially to support the church, which is all fitting and right. But, Scripture is actually very specific about how to know that you know you’re a Christian. The Apostle John was inspired…
How to Control Your Thoughts
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2Corinthians 10:5 KJV). Mind control is not an external force demanding compliance, but it is the inner direction of the indwelling Holy Spirit inspiring and persuading us to pattern…
How to Find God
“And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13 KJV). God makes it sound so easy for something humanity has gone to extremes to achieve. “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). If God is more interested…
Jesus Knows All About Us
“He did not need any testimony about mankind, for He knew what was in each person” (John 2:25 NIV). Of course, Almighty God knows everything about us. He is our Creator. “And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist” (Colossians 1:17 KJV). This is what makes this matter of trusting in…
Commentary on the Gospel of John 2
Two events are portrayed in John 2, which are Christ’s miracle of creating wine from water (2:1-21) and His cleansing of the Temple to announce Jehovah’s dealings with His people Israel (2:13-22). But, of greatest significance to the Church of Christ today is an overlooked distinction made by John based upon one Greek word pisteuō, translated…
I Found None
What a sad state, when God cannot find anyone to do His bidding! “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none” (Ezekiel 22:30 KJV). Our feeble hands are insufficient…
