Facing Temptation

Mar 02 2025 39 mins

Temptations will find us. While it is certainly best to flee from it, there is no way to escape it in this world. What do we do when times of doubt and the allure of sin press hard against us? Jesus was as we are, tempted like us, but without sin. If this is so, and we take it seriously, then watching carefully how he handles his temptation would prove an immense help. Let us see h

The Directions of the Lord's Supper

Feb 24 2025 41 mins

The Lord is particular in how he is worshipped and approached. Simply having a good heart will not do, for the Lord is keen to have his people follow his instructions and directions. This instinct is very much true in the Lord’s Supper and the Passover it is based on. Today, as we come to think about Jesus’ institution of the Supper, we are reminded of directions; not in how we

The Worth of Waste

Feb 16 2025 37 mins

We have all wasted money in our lives on something. Sometimes it is just a poorly thought through purchase, or something that we regret. No one does this better than the government, whose stories of waste are legion. Our story today is one that speaks of waste – an almost unthinkable expenditure of perfumed ointment which could no doubt have helped many in need. But Jesus saw gre

The Sheep and the Goats

I have only failed two tests in school that I remember. One was an algebra test in 9th grade. The other a Physical Chemistry exam in college. The first was a surprise, the second expected. Neither was pleasant. Being judged and failing never is. In the end, though, these tests were not that important. Most tests aren’t; but there is coming one that will be, though. Jesus will sit

The Lord of Opportunities

Andrew Carnegie was one of the wealthiest men who ever lived. He was industrious, clever, personable, and had great financial sense. But he was far from a self-made man. He was born at the right place, got involved in the right business, and took advantage of the opportunities given to him. We ourselves have been given a great opportunity; the Lord has left us with a great treasure

Five Foolish Ladies

Jan 26 2025 41 mins

There is a crater in Turkmenistan that burns constantly. Because of this, it has a very ominous appearance, it has earned the name The Gates of Hell. While that is a bit of an overstatement, the continual burning is more reminiscent of hell than anything here on earth. Things that burn eventually go out. Including torches. The five foolish women in our passage know this, yet fail t

The Signs of His Coming

Jan 19 2025 39 mins

In 1533, a German preacher promised the New Jerusalem would come in Strasbourg. It didn’t. In 1844, an American farmer promised the return of Christ. He didn’t show. Charles Russell promised Jesus’ return in 1878, 1881, and finally in 1914. All were wrong. Recently, Harold Camping promised it in 1994, 2005, and 2011. Yet, here we are, still awaiting the return. We might be te

The Fall of the Temple

Jan 12 2025 45 mins

When I was a child, I had two great and abiding fears: aliens and Armageddon. While I am no longer afraid of aliens, I am still somewhat afraid of Armageddon. Not the event itself, mind you, but the amount of stress and importance people place in figures and signs and times. Eschatology, or the study of the end of the world, should be filled with hope and good for Christians, yet i

Woe!

Jan 05 2025 38 mins

I use many words when parenting my children. “No!” comes up quite often, as does the sometimes more exuberant “stop!” I have, at times, used the exhortation “whoa!” when trying to calm my children down. I must admit, though, that I don’t think I’ve ever used the word as Jesus does here. The Pharisees and Scribes are in a pitiful state, filled with hypocrisy and self

Anti-Pharisees

Dec 29 2024 36 mins

Controversial opinions are stock and trade of our lives now. The angrier and the crazier the idea, the more clicks it gets, the more money is made, and the more notoriety the talking head gets. But not all controversial opinions are wrong or bad. Jesus, in Matthew 23, will say much that is controversial, both then and now. Taking aim back at those who have sought to trip him up, he
