Yola

Pattern for Conduct in the Church

In Matthew 18:15-20, Jesus gave His procedure for dealing with people problems that arise within a church. There is no perfect church, because there are no perfect people. I heard a man say one time, “I wouldn’t belong to any church that would have me as a member. We are far from perfect, that’s why conflict is inevitable in the personal relationships between Christians.

A Godly Man

Yola

I want to speak about godly men today, because we live in an age, when it is difficult to identify what a godly man should be like.  So much of what we are told by the media, about “good” men, doesn’t line up with the Word of God.

Paul's Epistle to the Romans

Paul's Epistle to the Romans

Although they knew God by His works, they did not glorify Him for who He is or thank Him for all He has done.

The Period Of The Judges, Slaying of the Lion, Judges 14.5-9

The Period Of The Judges, Slaying of the Lion, Judges 14.5-9

In these five verses we have the documentation of one of the earliest exploits carried out by this hero of faith. We are told that a lion in his youthful prime attacks Samson. The wild mountain passes of Judah were the lairs of savage beasts; and most or all the "lions" mentioned in Scripture are in that wild country. His tearing apart and killing the shaggy monster, without any weapon in his hand, were accomplished by that superhuman courage and strength which the occasional influences of the Spirit enabled him to put forth, and when he, as he did on this occasion, and in such a place that was hidden from the eyes of others was gradually trained to have confidence in his strength and his God, and was prepared for the more public work to which he was destined.

We must be confident that all those things that are spoken of in the Bible are true. That is the starting point for any study of scripture. If any part of it can be shown to be false, then all of the Word of God is suspect. The truth is very important to you and me and it was very important to the Gospel writers.

Jesus was very approachable, by all classes of people, as we shall see in today’s scripture lesson. It is the story of the sinful woman who worshiped Him, at a dinner given in the home of a well-to-do Pharisee.  The story begins with these words, “And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.”
