My wife and I like to tease each other about our different perspectives on a restful vacation. I think her motto is rush instead rest. Abbie loves holidays involving Disney and Pigeon Forge. Lot’s of going and doing. For myself, look more towards camping and fishing. I guess we each have a different perspective ofContinue reading “The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:2”

The Lord is my shepherd – Psalm 23:1
The following series of blog post will explore each verse of the beloved twenty-third Psalm. These posts are based on a set of sermons I preached through in the summer of 2017. I pray for your soul to find encouragement, comfort, and challenge through this psalm. Why Psalm 23? Out of the 150 Psalms, whichContinue reading “The Lord is my shepherd – Psalm 23:1”
Three Reflections on the Old Testament Tabernacle
We recently had the opportunity to co-host a course on the Old Testament Tabernacle in Ashland, Kentucky. A long-time family friend facilitated the sessions and shared many fantastic points about the Old Testament Tabernacle. After I few days of reflection, I want to offer three observations from this course. The Old Testament and allContinue reading “Three Reflections on the Old Testament Tabernacle”
Preaching in the New Testament
John the Baptist was the last Old Testament preacher (Luke 16:16), and Jesus became the first New Testament preacher. In fact, for preaching, John Stott (1982) wrote, “The only place to begin is with Jesus himself” (p. 16). Jesus, the quintessential person, finds Himself in the preacher’s shoes according to scripture. In relating God’s Word to us, it wasContinue reading “Preaching in the New Testament”
But, be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
The Lord will prepare us for what comes to pass in life. Scripture even tells us that God will provide a way out of our trials and temptations (1 Corinthians 10:13). In the sixteenth chapter of John’s Gospel, Jesus was preparing the disciples for His departure. He even prophesied that they would be scattered. However,Continue reading “But, be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#32)
Did you know that Israel was tempted in keeping up with the Joneses. They were still on the roller coaster of morality and obedience that we found in the book of Judges. Even Samuel, who was a great person, could not keep his children in the fear of the Lord. The people who had notContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#32)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#31)
The story of Samuel is one of my favorites. Here is a man who both began and finished well. That is a rare feat among today’s leaders and even many of the leaders in the Bible (of course not all the leaders in the Bible are trying to be good). However, Samuel is one whoseContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#31)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#30)
This short book in the Old Testament is the first of two books named after women in the entire Bible. One may wonder why she is included in the Scripture. After all, she is not of Hebrew descent but was brought in through marriage. However, through her story, we see the faithfulness to God andContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#30)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#23)
Transitions from one part of life to another is never easy. People are resistant to change and are quick to defend against change. Israel went through such a transition. After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, an entire generation passed away. God raised up a new leader, Joshua, to take over where Moses leftContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#23)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#20)
Some people just have a hard time believing. No matter what God has done before, they still lack faith. The Israelites had recently witnessed ten plagues the Lord placed on the Egyptians but still murmured and complained that God and Moses led them into the wilderness to die. God will perform another miracle before their eyesContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#20)”
