So far, we have seen that in the Lord, we do not lack in the first verse. In the second verse, we find provision and rest. As we continue, we see restoration for our souls. “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” – Psalm 23:3 ThisContinue reading “The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:3”

The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:2
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”
The Pastor
Filling the office of the pastor takes a genuine calling from God. The prophets, judges, and teachings foreshadow it in the Old Testament, and the New Testament defines it. Church history has validated it, and culture has tested it. Now, the office of pastor is losing its influence through misunderstandings, a lack of clear purpose,Continue reading “The Pastor “
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”
Preaching in the Old Testament
Preaching the Word begins with God. The first chapter of Genesis is filled with God’s creative power through His Words. Peter Adams wrote, “The basis for any true human speaking for God is that God is a speaking God…and it is clear that the God of the Bible is a God who speaks” (Adams, 1996, p.Continue reading “Preaching in the Old 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 (#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 (#29)
The story of Samson is one of the incredible feats he performed by God’s Spirit. However, at times, it is difficult to understand what we can gain from these passages in Scripture that apply to us today. After reading about Samson’s life, we will be able to take away a better understanding of God’s workContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#29)”
