THE CROSS

“Even to your old age and gray hairs

Isaiah 46:4

Intr.:

I am he,

1.  I am he who will sustain you.

2.  I have made you and

3.  I will carry you;

4.  I will sustain you and

5.  I will rescue you.”

End:

“Prohibited”

THE NATURAL MAN, THE MAN ‘IN SIN’.

Antagonism to God is innate within the natural man.

What happens when the law comes and addresses the natural man?

He is rebellious. He is asserting himself. His desire is to be autonomous. He is also self-satisfied. He is independent.

And the idea of law he cannot stand.

The natural man hates the idea that there is anyone to whom he must bow his knee, even God.

AT THE BEACH

“Don’t expect anything and you will not be disappointed.”

I think that’s how the saying goes. I’ve heard the phrase and maybe you have heard it as well.

At the present time I am expecting two things to happen coming Tuesday, no serious things at all.

If one thing does not happen on Tuesday, it will never happen; the other thing may also happen at a later date, but the longer it takes, the less likely it is going to happen.

Now, if both things are not happening at the expected time, I am not only not disappointed, but especially as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, I know that the Lord wants to teach me something.

ROMANS

This is a commentary on ROMANS everybody should read! That’s all I can say. I am now on page 112.

THE CROSS

“‘I am the LORD,

Isaiah 45:6,7

Intr.:

and there is no other.

1.  I form the

a.  light and

b.  create darkness,

2.  I bring

a.  prosperity and

b.  create disaster;

End:

I , the LORD, do all these things.'”

HOPE CHRISTIAN CENTRE IN KAITAIA

“HOPE CHRISTIAN CENTRE” NOT LONG AGO ON “WHITE RIBBON DAY”

A long time ago while working as a missionary in Kaikohe (United Maori Mission), I included a story in my sermon.

I had read the story before and reading the story made tears come to my eyes.

So I did not even endeavor  to read it myself, while delivering the sermon. Someone else read the true and very moving story for me.

I was reminded of what happened many years in Kaikohe, while attending TODAY A SERVICE AT HOPE CHRISTIAN CENTRE.

The service was already very moving and when the pastor came to the end of his sermon and was also almost moved to tears while quoting (reading) his final illustration, I was also in tears.
