Trouble was in the house of Isaac. God already told Isaac and his wife, Rebekah, that their twin sons would strive for dominance and that the older would serve the younger. They, however, seemed to dismiss this word and went on their way. A family that appeared to have so much promise ended up inContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#9)”

Scripture Reading Challenge (#8)
One of the hardest experiences is to receive something extraordinary and then either misplace it or have it taken away. We see this type of thing happening to Abraham. However, we will also see just how strong his faith had become. As the Hebrew writer penned, “By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered upContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#8)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#7)
How did the Old Testament people receive salvation? Is Jesus Plan B? These two questions are given solid answers in this chapter. You may have heard someone say that the Old Testament was presented salvation by works and the New Testament by grace. However, salvation is received in the Old Testament and New Testament theContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#7)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#6)
Many of us remember, “Father Abraham had many sons. Many sons had Father Abraham, and I am one of them. So are you. So let’s just praise the Lord.” and all the accompanying motions. The next section of the Biblical story focuses to Abraham. We first learn that before God changed his name, it wasContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#6)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#5)
Learning another language can be hard. In our text today, however, we learn that humanity shared a common language. After an act of rebellion before God, we lost that gift. God has ways of reminding us that we are not in control, but that He is. Read Genesis 11:1-9 This passage unveils basic human needs. TheseContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#5)”

God’s creation included freewill. Adam could use this freedom to voluntarily choose to love God and obey his commands, or he could abuse this freedom and decide to disobey God. The reading today focuses on the fall of man and how sin entered into creation. Read Genesis 3:1-24 In this third chapter, we are introducedContinue reading “CFCB Scripture Reading Challenge (#2)”

Studying Scripture and the role of the Holy Spirit
Check out yesterday’s blog post on the preacher’s library. The questions, “What is the place of Scripture in interpretation” and “What about the leading of the Holy Spirit leading the pastor” arise when talking about using preaching resources. To put it simply, the preacher must hold the Holy Spirit as the great teacher of theContinue reading “Studying Scripture and the role of the Holy Spirit”
A glorious and difficult task.
Our present society places before us the question, “why do we need ministers and preaching?” This leads to frustration among many but what really puts pressure on ministers is the very impossible task of preaching. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1:21, “For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God,Continue reading “A glorious and difficult task.”
Seven Sign in John: 6 – A Blind Man Healed
The sixth miracle seems similar to the previous healing miracle we saw in chapter 5 where Jesus healed a paralyzed man for 38 years. The movements of Jesus are the same: Jesus healed, disappears, and then reappears. John 9:1-7 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples askedContinue reading “Seven Sign in John: 6 – A Blind Man Healed”
