The Rediscovered Decree Ezra 6 1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon. 2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written: 3 In the...

God’s Secret Work Mark 4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the...

His First Message We know Jesus is soon to come; we don't know when the last message of the gospel will be proclaimed. However Jesus' first message is relevant today. It needed to be heard then and it needs to be heard now. Mark 1: 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching...

The Shunammite Brother Roger Perkins brought the lesson tonight. II Kings 8-37And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 9 And she said unto her husband,...

For His Name’s Sake Part 2 Psalm 23The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,...

Come and Dine This scripture continues to reveal the shape the disciples got into so quickly. They were eye witnesses to the events in Jesus' life yet they failed. He told them to cast on the right side of the ship thereby giving them the solution for not catching any fish. Sometimes we think the right thing doesn't...

Children, Have You Any Meat? It's a shame that this scripture had to be written. John is the only one to record the event, and if he'd has his way he probably would have left it out. It is here for our instruction. It's barely three weeks after the resurrection. These men were apostles, leaders of the early church,...

For His Name’s Sake Psalm 23:1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,...
