Childrearing (Part Three)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 12/5/1987
Our children internalize our values; we teach largely by example. If we do not take seriously the responsibility for rearing our children, somebody else will.
Hebrews (Part Ten)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 12/1/1987
Everything about the Priesthood of Christ is superior to the Levitical system, which only served as a type of the access to God that Jesus would fulfill.
Hebrews (Part Nine)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 11/24/1987
After the change from the Aaronic to the Melchizedek priesthood, it was also necessary to change the Covenant. The flaw was not the law, but the heart.
Hebrews (Part Eight)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 11/17/1987
Jesus Christ's priesthood is superior to the Aaronic priesthood because Christ tenure is eternal rather than temporal, guaranteeing both continuity and quality.
Childrearing (Part Two)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 11/14/1987
We cannot turn the teaching of our children over to others, but instead must train and educate them to become productive citizens in the Kingdom of God.
Hebrews (Part Seven)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 11/3/1987
With godly hope, we need to envision the successful accomplishment of God's purpose for us, realizing that God has bound that promise with an oath.
Childrearing (Part One)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 10/24/1987
The family problems predicted for the end times in II Timothy stem from faulty childrearing practices. We must help prepare our children for the Kingdom.
Hebrews (Part Six)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 10/20/1987
Jesus experienced the same temptations and suffering we do, qualifying Him for the role of High Priest, the bridge-builder between man and God.
Hebrews (Part Five)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 9/15/1987
The ancient Israelites resisted the gospel, refusing to mix it with actual obedience. What they heard never became a part of their lives; Egypt never left them.
Hebrews (Part Four)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 9/8/1987
We must emulate Christ, who learned through suffering, preparing Himself for His role as High Priest. Giving in alienates us from the fellowship with God.
Hebrews (Part Three)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 9/1/1987
Jesus blazed a trail, giving a pattern for qualifying (through suffering and resisting sin) for our responsibility as priests, reconnecting man and God.
Hebrews (Part Two)

Hebrews is addressed to a people living at the end of an era, who were drifting away, had lost their devotion, and were no longer motivated by zeal.
Hebrews (Part One)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 8/11/1987
In terms of spiritual insight, Hebrews is a pivotal book, whose function is to bridge the purposes and themes of the Old and New Testaments.
John (Part Twenty-Eight)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 8/4/1987
The book of John provides a plethora of signs corroborating Christ's authenticity and also shows how to live as God would live if He were a man.
John (Part Twenty-Seven)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 6/2/1987
Jesus Christ remained totally in control of the events of His trial, including His own prediction that He would be crucified under Roman law.
John (Part Twenty-Six)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 5/19/1987
While the other accounts of Jesus' trial and crucifixion seem to show passivity, John shows Jesus totally in charge, purposefully and courageously moving.
John (Part Twenty-Five)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 5/12/1987
Eternal life is to know God, seeking Him to imitate Him, living as He does, and developing an intimate relationship with Him. This brings an abundant life.
John (Part Twenty-Four)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 5/5/1987
Though Christ knows that we will inevitably fail, as all of the disciples stumbled, He knows He can pull us through as long as we yield to Him.
John (Part Twenty-Three)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 4/7/1987
In Christ's vine and branch analogy, Jesus presents Himself as the true or genuine Vine, as contrasted to the unfaithful vine (ancient Israel).
Offerings (Part Seven)
Bible Study/Sermon; Given 4/4/1987
If we want to follow Christ, we must sacrifice, take up our cross, and follow His example of service to God and others.
