This sermon outline was more devotional in approach. Luke 23:44-46 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice,Continue reading “Seven Sayings: Into Thy Hands”

In a way, the following four types of ministry describe much of what groups of believers do in the world. Ministry of theContinue reading “Basic Church Ministries”
The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:6
As we come to the final verse of the twenty-third Psalm, we find a beautiful conclusion. The psalmist declares the continuing goodness and mercy of God toward His people. However, we may wonder what brings about these blessings. What are the purposes and benefits? “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of myContinue reading “The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:6”
The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:5
In the middle of our chaos, God can provide a space to receive His grace. The shepherd knows his sheep are weary and hungry in the dark areas of life. He also knows that in the treacherous terrain that there are dangerous enemies waiting to attack. Still, in the midst of an uncertain place, theContinue reading “The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:5”
The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:4
The fourth verse of Psalm 23 is very popular and has been quoted by people from different walks of life. Not just by Christians either. It is a very relatable verse. However, this flippant usage of this verse underlies a more damaging notion. It is an approach called moral therapeutic deism. What does that mean? Let’sContinue reading “The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:4”
The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:3
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.

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”

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”
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 “
