They that worship God MUST worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

This is message 59 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 20:1-18What appears to be defeat, silence, and unanswered sorrow is often the very place where God has already begun His greatest work. Long before His followers understood what was happening, God had already secured the victory over death and accomplished everything He had promised. The risen Christ meets grieving hearts with hope, confused hearts with truth, and devoted hearts with His presence. The resurrection reminds us that God is always working ahead of our fears, our questions, and our understanding, and that one word from the living Saviour can turn despair into worship and sorrow into joyful obedience.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 13 in Understanding the Love of GodHebrews 12:4-13God's correction is not a sign of rejection but one of the clearest evidences of His love and our place in His family. A loving Father refuses to leave His children is sin, rebellion, or spiritual immaturity, and HIs discipline is always designed to restore, strengthen, and guide us back into close fellowship with Him. Though correction is rarely pleasant in the moment, it produces holiness, wisdom, and the peaceable fruit of righteousness in those who receive it with humility. Rather than resisting His hand, believers can find comfort in knowing that every act of chastening flows from the heart of a Father who delights in His children and is committed to their growth.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through Pushpay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 58 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 19:38-42Even in the darkest moments, God is never without witnesses, never without provision, and never without a plan. When it seemed that everything had ended in defeat, the Lord was quietly moving people, places, and circumstances into position to fulfill every promise He had made. The cross called hidden disciples into bold faith and transformed fearful followers into courageous servants. What appeared to be the end was actually God preparing for victory, proving once again that His purposes never fail and His Word never falls to the ground.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 57 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 19:16-37The cross was not a tragedy outside of God's control but the very purpose for which Christ came into the world. Every wound, every word, and every detail unfolded exactly according To the plan of God and the promises of Scripture. The One who suffered did so willingly, bearing the penalty of sin in full and completing the word of redemption once and for all. Even in His deepest suffering, His compassion, His authority, and His kingship remained on display. What appeared to be defeat was in reality the greatest victory ever won, as the Savior finished the work that only He could accomplish.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

What does God's Word say about gay rights? The first mention in the Bible of this particular subject is found in Genesis 13:13, speaking of the men of Sodom and their sin. We find in this story of Lot's backsliding that he pitched his tent toward Sodom. The Bible says "But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly."

This is message 56 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 19:1-15Every person is eventually confronted with the same question: what will they do with Jesus Christ? Some see Him only as a man, others are troubled by the claims of His deity, and still others reject His authority as King because of the cost of surrender. Yet neutrality is impossible. Fear, pressure, and compromise can never remove the need for a decision. The One who was rejected, mocked, and crowned with thorns remains the rightful King, and every heart must choose whether to receive Him or turn Him away.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 12 in Understanding the Love of God2 Thessalonians 3:1-5The Christian life is not sustained by human strength but by the faithful work of God. In a world filled with opposition, uncertainty, and spiritual conflict, the Lord establishes, guards, and guides His people with unwavering faithfulness. As He directs our hearts into the depths of His love, He produces steadfast obedience, confident endurance, and a joyful anticipation of Christ’s return, anchoring us in the unchanging character of God.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through Pushpay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 11 in Understanding the Love of God2 Samuel 9:1-13Mephibosheth is a powerful picture of the grace of God toward undeserving sinners. Though worthy of judgment, helpless to save himself, and unable to offer the King anything in return, he was sought out, welcomed, restored, and given a permanent place at the king’s table because of a covenant of love. In the same way, God reaches out to those who deserve nothing but condemnation, offering forgiveness, restoration, an eternal inheritance, and the privilege of becoming part of His family through His marvelous grace.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through Pushpay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

God is the one that created a distinction between man and woman, and both are necessary to display that we are created in God's image.

This is message 10 in Understanding the Love of God2 Corinthians 12:1-10When life is marked by pain, weakness, disappointment, and unanswered prayers, it is easy to wonder where God is at work. Yet the very trails we often ask God to remove may be the gifts He uses to draw us closer to Himself, humble our hearts, and display His power through our weakness. God's grace is always sufficient, His strength is made perfect in weakness, and the greatest victories are often won not after the thorn is removed, but while His grace enables us to bear it.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through Pushpay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

Life is a gift from God, and those who take life are accountable to God for their decisions.

This is message 55 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 18:28-40The greatest danger is not failing to recognize the truth but refusing to act upon it. Many people know what is right, sense the conviction of God, and even acknowledge who Christ is, yet allow fear, pressure, pride, or convenience to keep them from fully surrendering. Every person must decide what they will do with Jesus. Truth demands a response, and no one can remain neutral forever. The choice to accept or reject Christ is the most important decision of life and eternity.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 9 in Understanding the Love of God1 Corinthians 13True manhood is not measured by strength, courage, achievements, or cultural rites of passage, but by the ability to love others with the selfless love of Christ. While the world celebrates outward accomplishments, God looks at the heart and calls men to maturity through sacrificial love, humility, patience, and service. Real growth begins when life stops revolving around self and becomes focused on caring for others. The greatest evidence of spiritual maturity is not what a man can endure for himself, but how faithfully he reflects the love of God in his relationships every day.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through Pushpay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 53 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 18:1-12Jesus was not a helpless victim overcome by men, but the sovereign Son of God who willingly gave Himself to fulfill the Father’s plan of redemption. Even in the darkness of betrayal and arrest, His divine authority, power, and compassion were unmistakable as He protected His disciples, healed His enemy, and faced the cross with complete obedience. This message reveals that Christ remained fully in control in every moment, proving that the Savior who was bound by men was still the great I AM.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

Individuals do not go to war; nations go to war: Nations send individuals who have been trained to fight in that war. We have an all-wise, Almighty, all-knowing God who has ordained government.

This is message 54 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 18:12:27Jesus stood before corrupt judges with calm authority, willingly enduring betrayal, false accusations, and injustice in complete obedience to the Father's will. While religious leaders broke their own laws to condemn Him and Peter failed in fear, Christ remained faithful, revealing both the sinfulness of man and the mercy of God. This message shows that even in the darkest moments of rejection and denial, the Son of God was still fully in control, moving steadily toward the cross to accomplish salvation.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 52 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 17:1-26Jesus came to finish the work the Father gave Him, securing eternal life through His death and resurrection and revealing the true heart of God to the world. Though His followers would remain in a hostile world, He prayed for their protection, purity, unity, and strength so they could continue His mission and reflect His character. This message reminds believers that Christ has completed the work of salvation, still intercedes for His people, and desires for them to know God deeply and one day dwell forever in His presence.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 51 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 16:16-33Jesus prepared His followers to face sorrow, confusion, and failure by reminding them that His departure was not the end but part of God's greater plan. Through His death and resurrection, grief would be transformed into lasting joy, believers would gain direct access to the Father through prayer, and peace would become possible even in the middle of tribulation. Human strength may fail, but the presence of God never does, and because Christ has overcome the world, His people can live with confidence, hope, and unshaken peace.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

The most misunderstood doctrine in the Bible is the doctrine of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is coming again.

This is message 49 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 15:18-25Following Christ will always bring conflict with a world that rejects God, because a transformed life exposes the darkness of sin and the emptiness of false religion. The closer believers walk with Christ, the more clearly they reflect His character, and the same hatred directed toward Him will often be directed toward them. Yet the rejection of Christ is not merely opposition to a teacher or a message, but rebellion against God Himself, whose truth continues to uncover every excuse and call men to repentance.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 48 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 15:1-17True spiritual life and lasting fruitfulness are only possible through a continual, dependent relationship with Christ, who alone is the source of strength, growth, and life. God lovingly shapes and prunes His people through His Word so that they might bear fruit that brings glory to Him and impacts others for eternity.

This is message 47 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 14:16-31Believers are never left alone, because God Himself comes to dwell within them through the Holy Spirit, bringing continual fellowship, guidance, strength, and peace. The presence of the Spirit becomes most evident in a life that loves Christ enough to obey His Word, as obedience deepens awareness of His nearness and truth. While the world searches for peace through outward means, true peace comes from trusting the finished work of Christ, resting in His promises, and living with confidence that He remains present and will one day return for His own.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttiest thy bottle to him.

This is message 46 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 14:7-15God has fully revealed Himself through Jesus Christ, making the invisible Father known through the life, words, and works of the Son. To know Christ is to know God personally, because everything about His character displays the heart of the Father. This relationship transforms every part of life, producing confidence in prayer, power for service, and a desire to obey.

This is message 06 in Understanding the Love of GodEphesians 5:21-33Marriage was designed by God to be a living picture of the relationship between Christ and His church, displaying love, humility, sacrifice, faithfulness, and unity through everyday life. A home centered on the Lord reflects His character through husbands who lovingly lead and wives who trust God's design, creating a testimony that grows stronger through every season. True joy and lasting closeness are found when both lives are surrendered to Christ, allowing His love to shape their communion, commitment, and care for one another.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through Pushpay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

No one can take integrity from us. If we lose integrity, it is because we give it up of our own volition.

This is message 44 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 13:31-35The cross was not a moment of defeat but the greatest display of the glory of God, revealing His power, justice, holiness, faithfulness, and love through the willing obedience of Christ. What appeared to the world as suffering and shame became the means of redemption and victory, as the Son fulfilled the Father's plan perfectly. Those who follow Him are then called to reflect that same sacrificial love toward one another, showing the world the realty of Christ through lives marked by humility, unity, and genuine care for His people.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

This is message 43 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 13:21-30It is possible to be close to truth, involved in spiritual things, and still remain unchanged at heart, and that is the danger this message exposes. Outward appearance, service, and knowledge mean nothing without genuine faith in Christ, for a heart that resists Him will grow harder over time, Grace may be offered again and again, but if it is continually rejected, sin will take hold and lead to destruction. The call is clear to move beyond association and truly trust the Savior, because only a surrendered heart can receive the forgiveness and life that He freely gives.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

The Lord, though possessing all authority, chose the lowest place to teach that real greatness is found in serving, not being served, and that obedience to His truth must move beyond knowledge into action. Even in the face of betrayal and unfolding events, He reveals that everything is under divine control, calling His followers to trust His Word, walk in purity, and live out a life that reflects His character.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

His care is not driven by circumstance but by a sovereign plan, showing that true love gives, teaches, and endures even when others fail.

Every human being has been created for eternity and is either going to heaven or hell.

This is message 40 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 12:37-50Clear truth does not guarantee belief, because the greatest barrier is not a lack of evidence but a hardened heart that refuses to respond. When light is continually rejected, it leads to deeper blindness, while genuine faith must move beyond private agreement to open confession. The call of grace remains urgent, offering life and light to all who will receive it, yet warning that the same truth that saves today will one day stand as the standard of judgment for those who turn away.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through PushPay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

Holding on to personal will and comfort leads to barrenness, but dying to self allows the life of Christ to be revealed and extended to others.

Simply understanding the Bible will not bring salvation. The message must be believed and obeyed.

This is message 37 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 12:20-22A sincere desire to know Christ must be met with a willing response from those who already know Him, because people are searching for more than religion, they are seeking a real encounter with the Saviour. Fear, uncertainty, and overthinking can cause missed opportunities, but simple obedience opens the door for others to come to Him. God uses those who are ready to act in faith, bringing others to Christ without hesitation, showing that the responsibility of every believer is to point seeking hearts directly to Him.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through Pushpay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

He comes in humility to bring peace with God, and every person must decide whether to receive Him for who He is or reject Him because He does not fit their desires. Enthusiasm and outward praise are not enough, because a heart that seeks Him only for personal gain will turn away when His purpose leads through sacrifice, while genuine faith recognizes His authority and submits to Him as Lord.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through Pushpay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

God's words are greater than man's words. God's words are more convicting, have more authority, and are clearer than man's words. God's witness is greater than man's witness.

Those who belong to Him respond because they know Him, not merely with outward agreement but with a living connection that cannot be mistaken.

God's greatest demonstration of love is Calvary. If you want to know what God is like, look at the cross. If you have an argument with something God has done, and you think the Lord has mistreated people or withheld mercy when He could have given mercy, then look at the cross. The Lord Jesus Christ suffered and bled and died for the vilest of us. This is the love of God. The height of divine glory and love is seen at Calvary.

This is message 4 in Understanding the Love of GodLamentations 3:22-36Even in the darkest seasons of loss, suffering, and disappointment, hope is not found in circumstances but in the unchanging character of God. His mercy holds back the judgment we deserve, His compassion never fails, and His faithfulness never wavers. When everything else seems stripped away, the Lord Himself remains enough. Those who remember who God is, wait on Him, and trust His purpose discover that He has not abandoned them.

This is message 27 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 8:48-59When truth confronts a hardened heart, it often produces rejection instead of repentance. Face with clear evidence and unmistakable claims, these leaders chose to insult and deny rather than believe. Yet Christ did not soften His words. He revealed that eternal life is found in receiving Him and that He is not merely a teacher but the eternal God Himself. The issue was never lack of proof but unwillingness to accept who He is. Every person must face that same reality, because recognizing Him rightly is the difference between remaining in unbelief and receiving everlasting life.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/Donate through Pushpay https://pushpay.com/pay/riverviewbc

Real faith continues in His word and allows that truth to shape the heart and life. Those who resist the truth remain in bondage to sin even while claiming spiritual privilege.

We must be aware that we live in a world that is absolutely saturated with the "spirit of error." So much of what we hear sounds spiritual and good, but we must stay with the truth of God's Word, be guided by the "spirit of truth," and put everything to the test. Jesus Christ is the test! If what one says does not line up with the Scripture concerning the Saviour, the Christ of the Bible, then we must stand strong and firm on what God says concerning His only begotten Son.

This is message 21 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 7:14-18Understanding God's will begins with a surrendered heart. Spiritual clarity does not come first through an education, debate or human reasoning, but through a willingness to debate, whatever God reveals. When a person is truly ready to do His will, God gives the ability to recognize truth and discern what is genuinely from Him. The path to knowing God's direction is not complicated or mysterious.

It is of utmost importance to know whether you are a child of God or a child of the Devil. When the children of God leave this world, they go to be with God forever; children of the Devil go to be with the Devil in eternal hell forever. There are not only two distinct families, but also two distinct futures for those families. One is heaven; the other is hell. Which will be your future?

The most dangerous evil is the evil that most resembles the truth. How do God's people recognize error that looks like truth? The Bible says the Holy Spirit will teach us all things. We are enabled with an unction from the Holy One. God, by His Spirit, enables us to recognize the truth when we hear it and see it.

The knowledge of God is man's greatest knowledge. We come to know the true and living God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Read what the Bible says in 1 John 2:12-14.

This is message 12 in Gospel Record of JohnJohn 4:27-42God often uses the simple testimony of a changed life to draw others to Christ. When a person truly meets the Savior, priorities shift, shame gives way to boldness, and silence turns into witness.

The Lord is the light. Notice what God's Word says in 1 John 1:3-7. We read in verse five, "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." Because God is light, He provides the light we need for our daily walk. The Christian life is a journey through earth to glory. It is the light of the Lord that enables us to make the journey victoriously. The key work in this epistle is "fellowship."

The Word of Life is one of the wonderful titles given to our Lord Jesus Christ. The powerful purpose of the Bible is to reveal the Word of Life to us. As the Lord opens for us the first epistle of John, we find how quickly He leads us to the Word of Life. The things we find in this epistle are written to believers who "...believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God" (1 John 5:13).

When everything we have is stripped away. God is still on His throne. The Jews in Jerusalem waited too late to see God high, holy, and lifted up.

God holds only one body on earth responsible for declaring the truth of His Word. Spirit-filled churches are to lift the standard of decency, holiness, and righteousness. When pastors and Christian leaders neglect God's Word and follow the pattern of the world, the church becomes dim, and the nation suffers. Obedience is the only way to find the peace and joy that Jesus Christ promised us. The culture is always calling, but caring for our heart and staying in love with the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word will help our homes.

The key to the victorious Christian life is living consciously under the ruling presence of Jesus Christ. We know God's presences in our lives by praying, meditating on God's Word, and going through deep trials and depending on Him to carry us through. When God comes near. He removes our fear, redeems our lives, and reveals Himself. The answer to our sin is the nearness of God. The Lord is chiseling away at us to bring us to the place where we can be more usable and glorifying to Him.

In this world, evil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse. God is searching for a people who will pay the price in their own personal lives to please Him. Only after we are willing to confess our sin can we call out to God in prayer. The first request God desires us to make is for His will to be done. The Lord is still working on us. He is opposed to the wickedness of our world, but it is in our hearts and hands that God will first do His work.

Even when emotions falter and circumstances shake, the heart finds hope by looking to the God of my life and the God who is my Rock.

No promise in God's Word brings such bountiful blessings as the one act of obedience in tithing. Every Christian is one of God's stewards. God's stewards have been assigned a responsibility from the Lord, to manage God's goods as they are distributed and used in this world. We have learned that all that the Father has is at our disposal. May God help us to be wise, but even more importantly to be faithful in our stewardship.

Each year, business magazines list the richest people in the world. All of this may be interesting, but the real question is, "Who is rich toward God?"

In John 17:15-16, Christ is praying for those who are in the strength of life who get discouraged about a matter, and think, "I want out of here. I know I will go to heaven and be with the Lord. I would just like to go on." Our Lord Jesus would not pray for that because we need laborers for the Lord's work. He is praying for God the Father to keep us from the evil so that we can minister to others around us.

Ezra 7:11-28The phrase " the service of the house of God” appears eighteen times in Ezra's writings. Ezra was conscious that everything he did and emphasized in the ministry God gave him was centered on the House of God. Jeremiah had written a history of the Hebrews kingdom in 1 & 2 Kings. The emphasis of Jeremiah in history was on the office of the prophet and the kings. Ezra was led by the Lord to record another history of the Southern Kingdom, this time the emphasis on the priests and the Temple. Over and over in the history of 2 Chronicles the phrase is recorded “In service of the House of the Lord”. The history of 2 Chronicles especially reminds people how important the House of the Lord is and emphasizes the service in God’s house.Don't forget to download our app for more from the Riverview Baptist Church. http://onelink.to/rbcappFind more at https://riverviewbc.com/

Our Lord emphasized the value of the church. In the fifth kingdom parable. Christ taught that Israel is God's treasure. Israel rejected her Messiah and was hidden, or set aside, for a time.

The church is this "one pearl of great price."

The light is going out in our nation. The great influence of America is diminishing. The only hope we have as a nation is for revival. If we are not going to lift high the banner of Christ and be an example of godliness for the world, we will have no light to shine. The light that is left is the lift found in Bible-preaching churches. And of course, the light that is left is the light in Christian homes. May God help each of us determine to have a Christian home.

The Devil can use so many things in life to try to keep us from being the Christians we should be. All of us will have difficulties to deal with, but we must not allow these things to hold us. We must press forward in our service to Christ and find pace in trusting Him.

King Solomon was certainly a wise and brilliant man; but the more he learned, the more grieved he became. The more knowledge he received, the more sorrow entered into his heart. His head was full, but his life and still empty. This is the same condition of so many people in our world today. Knowledge can bring joy and not sorrow when we know the Lord Jesus Christ. It is only when we know Him and live in obedience to Him that we find true joy and satisfaction in life. Without Christ in His proper place, knowledge only brings greater sorrow.

God is always right. God is a perfect God. Because God is always right and perfect, God’s Word is also right. The Bible is tied directly to the character of God. Righteousness is a quality in God that causes Him to always say and do what is right. When God created the galaxies, it was because it was the right thing to do.

This is message 77 in the Gospel Record of Luke Series. Disciples who love the Lord will love the scriptures. As the Bible is opened up and we learn more of the Lord, the spirit within us will burn and crave more.

The word “wonderful” is a powerful word. It refers to things unusual and beyond human ability to produce. Often, that root word is translated as “too difficult” in the Bible because it points to an accomplishment that God could only achieve.

This is message 73 in the Gospel Record of Luke Series. If Pilate had released Jesus, he would have been hailed in history as a hero. Pilate placed the choice to the people in an attempt to spare Jesus' life from the Sanhedrin. Why did the people choose Barabbas? To choose Jesus was to choose someone who would be in charge. To choose Jesus was to lose power and control.

The psalmist continued to be surrounded by enemies and afflictions. However, at this point, a bit of impatience begins to creep into the song’s tone. He tells the Lord it is time for God to be working. There are plenty of times when we have been so arrogant to tell the Lord it is time for Him to work!

The followers of Christ during this age were supposed to take a purse and script, and if they didn't have a sword, to get a sword. The marching orders are quite different for the church than those for the ministry to Israel. Christians even have a right to self-defense in appropriate situations. The servants of Christ were being prepared for a different war in a different world. The gospel is to go out to the world.

Hope is a necessary component of human life. People can live a while without food or water, but people cannot live without hope. Hope is not a wistful, wishful thing.

There is so much to love about God’s law! First of all, a great reason to love the Bible is for its purpose. The grand purpose of the Bible is to reveal God to man.

"When Dr. J Harold Smith preached this message, thousands and thousands of people came to know the lord, and many thousands more rededicated their lives. The message is God's Three Deadlines and it discusses the limits of God's mercy. It discusses the unpardonable sin, what it means to waste away your day of grace, and what it means to live as a Christian with un-repented sin in your life and the consequences of those things. We pray that this message will minister to you wherever you are today, and you will never pass any of these three deadlines." - Dr. Don Smith

When we bring back to our remembrance of God's unchanging character, God's unfathomable strength, and God's unchanging promises, we find real hope even in the darkest of times.

This entire Psalm points to the fact the Psalmist is in trouble. He was under extreme affliction. Ancient people made containers for wine and water out of the skins of animals. When exposed to smoke, it not only blackened with soot but dried and parched and shriveled up. The contents of the skin would take on an unpleasant odor. There was nothing left to do with the wineskin but toss it away. The Psalmist was wasted by age, sickness, and sorrow. He felt contaminated by the exposure to the world. Worse yet, he felt that God could no longer use him.

This is message 55 in the Gospel Record of Luke Series. Jesus replied that if the disciples had the faith of a grain of a mustard seed, miracles could happen.

In Hebrew, each verse of this section begins with the letter “Jod.” This is the same letter Jesus referred to in Matthew 5:18 “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” The jod is the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Jesus promised that the Word of God would not fail, even to the smallest letter! The little letter that every verse starts with, introduces big subjects about God. The Psalmist will sing about God’s hand, God’s heart, and God’s help.

At some point, a follower of the Lord will have to decide what they think about the Bible.

It seems the Psalmist has been overwhelmed in great grief. Through whatever hardship the Psalmist was going through, he made a decision to follow the Lord and was going to stick with that decision. For that decision to stay in the middle of his difficult circumstances, he needed God to help his soul continue down the path of truth.

"If we depend upon an organization, we get what an organization can do. If we depend upon education, we will get what education can do. But if we depend upon prayer, we will get what God can do." - A.C. Dixon

This is message 21 in the Gospel Record of Luke Series. In the heart of His message, Jesus teaches His disciples, that the disciple is not above His master. The followers of Christ were not better than Christ, nor did they deserve or expect better treatment than their Master. Every disciple that is perfect, shall be like his master. The idea of the learner, if they are learning the way he should, will become just like his master.
