When the people of Israel came to the edge of the Promised Land, God instructed Moses to re-state the Law and the terms of the Mosaic Covenant before the people entered into the land. As Moses is nearing the end of his instruction, he tells the people that God will bless them if they are careful to obey all that God had commanded but also warns them what will happen if they choose to ignore God’s commandments and turn away from Him. In today’s study, we’ll examine whether God responds to our obedience and disobedience the same way in light of the New Covenant in Christ Jesus.
This morning, we take a break from our sermon series to hear from Bro. Bryan Risner, one of our BMA Global missionaries to Romania. Bro. Bryan and his family have been on the field for seven years now and in that time, they’ve built relationships, shared the Gospel, planted multiple churches and continue to see God do amazing things among the people of Romania. Listen as Bro. Bryan shares of God’s continued faithfulness in their ministry and reminds us of the need to keep praying, keep trusting and keep rejoicing–even when times are hard.
Many of us know Moses as the leader of the people of Israel but his story doesn’t begin there. God was at work in Moses’ life long before He was raised up to deliver the people of Israel and usher them into the Promised Land. God was at work in his life at his birth, He was at work in His life when Moses was in the home of Pharaoh and He was at work when Moses fled to the land of Midian. In today’s study, Bro. Ron Fields shares how God was working out His purpose for Moses every step of the way and how He does the same in each and every day of our lives today.
Each one of us has a spiritual malady. We all suffer from the effects of being “in the flesh” and subject to the “fleshly” desires that draw us away from God and away from His plan for our lives. By His grace, He transforms us through the power of His Holy Spirit as we daily spend time with Him in His Word. But what if we neglect this practice? What if we turn aside and fall into sin again? How will it affect your relationship with God? How will affect your daily tasks? Find out the answers to these questions and more in today’s study–Discarding the Influence of God’s Presence in My Life
In the Old Testament, the people of Israel were divided into twelve tribes. God gave each tribe a portion of the Promised Land to live in and be their own, save one–the tribe of Levi. This tribe was set apart to minister before the Lord in the tabernacle and on behalf of the people. Each person within the tribe had a role to fill. No job was the same but each one was essential. In a similar way, God impacts the world today through His children and has appointed each one with a specific task–a specific purpose. So, how do we identify God’s purpose for our lives? Pastor John shares insight on how to answer this question in today’s study.
For our new sermon series, we’re going to be looking at some lessons from the life of Moses. Unlike an expository sermon series which would begin at the beginning of the Book of Exodus and work its way through the text, we will be looking at Moses’ life from a topical point of view. The…
As we continue our series today—Behold the Lamb of God—we’re going to be looking at one section of prophecy in the Book of Isaiah concerning the coming king of Israel. But this king that Isaiah prophesied about was not a king “full of power with a sword in his fist,” he was a king that…
For the next several weeks, we’re going to be focused on the redemptive story of Scripture that was fulfilled through the incarnation of God the Son in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, who was born into this world as a baby and grew to be a man who would die on the cross to…
For the past several weeks, we have been looking at the teachings of Christ on various topics—from prayer to spiritual warfare to hypocrisy to personal property. In each of these areas, Jesus taught His disciples how they were to think, act and speak. In this last section of teachings, Jesus is seeking to motivate His…
So, as we dive into the twelfth chapter of Luke again today, we’re going to spend some time thinking about Jesus’ teachings concerning the areas of greed, jealousy, drunkenness, gluttony, laziness and pride. Doesn’t that sound like fun? In all seriousness, some of the issues that Jesus brings up in our text today may not…
