The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood of the Godhead, yet it is He Who provides the power for living.

What must those who lead God's people's worship do? Leviticus 10:4–20 looks forward to the evening sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In these seventeen verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that those who lead God's people in worship must follow and teach God's own instructions for His worship and His people.

The kingdom age will be for 1,000 years and it will be a physical kingdom right her on this earth. It will be a time where righteousness and goodness dominate. A place where man will be in harmony with each other and with the animal world. A place without satan or his demons , but where Jesus Christ will rule supremely, and universally. It will be a rule that is righteous, just and fair and where sin is dealt with instantly and firmly.

In this message we look at the end of Solomon's life and reign and how his lusts turned his heart away from God and the consequences that came from that.

God glorifies Himself in His Son, and those who come near hallow Him by coming only as He has commanded, by which obedience they come through His Son

Acts 9:1-8 " And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3 ¶ And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 ¶ And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6 ¶ And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7 ¶ And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus."

For the kingdom to be good news to us, we must be transformed into its subjects. And to all who receive Him, King Jesus does just that by His Spirit.

In this message we focus on Light, how God is light, how Jesus is the light of the world and how we are to reflect that light.

Of all that God completely owns, He specially chooses His Church alone to love. God Chose and Loves to Love You.

Throw all of your hope on Christ! 2 Peter 1:16-21 - part one

Theme: King Jesus enters His temple to restore true worship. In vv. 45-46, Jesus cleanses the temple. The high priests were charging an exorbitant amount for the convenience of purchasing the animals for sacrifice in the temple. Secondly, the moneychangers were overcharging to make a gross profit off of people who were coming to meet God. Thirdly, the intent and purpose for the house of God was not being met because of the other things going on in it. It was to be a house of prayer, and through the practices going on, this was impossible. Jesus tells them they have made His house a den of robbers. This comes from the prophet Jeremiah, when he condemns the people for being idolatrous and then going to the temple to worship. We are called to be holy in our worship and in our practice. In application, we need to be diligent to practice God's truth. In vv. 47-48, Jesus teaches in the temple. The people were hanging on His words. We also should focus our hearts to hear God's truth. When we come to worship God, do we simply go to be entertained or because it is tradition or do we prepare our hearts to hear God's Word? Jesus is the King. He has the authority. Let us be people who are not only ready to hear Christ's Word and practice it, but are eager to do so, people who worship Christ in Spirit and in truth!

This message is based on Isaiah 6 and is a consideration of the call of Isaiah to be God's prophet, with a reading and explanation of the text. We see Isaiah's personal experience of encountering God in his holiness as Sovereign King of the universe resulting in his conviction of guilt and need for divine cleansing. Then from a position of a provided atonement he hears and answers the call of God to be his special prophet. What kind of commission is this when he is informed that people will not listen and repent so judgment is decreed? But in the midst of wrath and judgment God remembers mercy in accord with his covenant promises to send the Seed who is Jesus the Messiah..

Today Pastor Bill Bradshaw continues his series on Romans with the congregation of Chardon Christian Fellowship. So far we have established that we are beyond help to live as God would require but now God has made a way for us. Listen as Pastor Bradshaw begins to law out the plan that God had to allow us to stand before him blameless. God bless you this week!

As we gather on the Lord's day in the morning we will return to our study of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as recorded by Mark. We are at Mark 12.1-12, which is a very important parable of the Lord. We will consider the teaching of the parable with several applications, and then ask the question whether we have heard. There is help for us in this text. Scripture Reading: Mark 12:1-12 Text: Mark 12.1-12 Message: "God's Passion; Man's Poison" Theme: Jesus' parable shows the reality of His own arrival for a sinful people God planted a vineyard, expecting growth God shows His patient love for His vineyard God reveals His holy judgment against those who reject His love The hearers of parables must ask if they have heard

"Encounter God's Truth" brings you timeless truths for changing times. Dr. John Whitcomb spent much of his life teaching the Old Testament. It was really quite remarkable, then, that in his later years he devoted much of his energy to preparing messages on the New Testament book of Acts. We're so glad that he did, however, because now we have those recordings to benefit from—and to share with you here on "Encounter God's Truth." So join with us now as we continue in Acts 13 and Volume Five in our study called "Acts: Witness of the Early Church."

As host Wayne Shepherd shares, we bring you this teaching with gratitude to our friends at Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Conn., where Dr. Whitcomb first delivered it before the Independent Fundamental Bible Conference.
