In this message, we study the short book of Philemon. Paul writes from Rome to a wealthy man in Colosse named Philemon. He writes him about a runaway slave of his named Onesimus, who has now come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ through meeting Paul. We study the story of the book, and the lessons God has for us about grace and how God treats us that are behind it.
In this message, we conclude our study of Zechariah with a description of the day of the LORD, when the enemies come against Jerusalem, but the LORD arises to help them. The land is changed at His coming. A description of the plague with which He strikes those who fought against Jerusalem. The nations are brought back into line with the LORD’s rule. The blessed conditions that follow in the parousia.
In this message, we examine Zechariah 13. This passage continues discussing the day of the LORD wherein the anti-Christ and his forces have been defeated. Israel is cleansed of their sin, and those who were false prophets and false christs in the tribulation admit to their crimes. This leads Zechariah back to discussing the true Christ and what He would do at His first coming, and then to discussing the beginning of the Kingdom of God yet to come.
In this message, we examine Zechariah 12, in which the crisis between Jerusalem and their enemies comes to a head, and the LORD acts to save them. He strikes the horses of those who besiege Jerusalem with blindness, and their riders with madness. He empowers His people with might for battle that their enemies cannot resist. The LORD purposes to destroy their enemies. Then, His people all mourn for the sad events that He has brought them safely through. We examine these events, their significance, and where they fit in prophecy.
In this message, we continue our consideration of the book of Zechariah. The Lord promises to rescue and redeem His people. Zechariah takes a job as shepherd over a flock already sold to be slaughtered, and strange events unfold. The LORD uses these events to foretell things that are going to happen in the tribulation. We consider these strange prophecies.
In this message, we continue our study of Zechariah with chapter 9. The Lord predicts disaster on the nations surrounding Israel. He declares restoration for His people of Israel. He shows how this will come about by going back to the first coming of Christ. He takes us on from their to Israel’s return in the kingdom of God. From there, he speaks of Israel’s victory over their enemies in the tribulation, and the blessed conditions of the parousia that will follow.
In this message, we continue to examine the book of Zechariah. The Israelites send a delegation to the priests and prophets to inquire of the LORD. They want to know if they should continue to keep a traditional fast. The LORD through Zechariah gives them a different answer than they expected. He also takes the opportunity to express His future plans for the city of Jerusalem.
In this message, we examine the story of the flying scroll. What does this signify, and when? Then, we discuss the strange story of the woman in the basket, and the women with stork’s wings. Zechariah’s vision of the four chariots going out from before the Lord. Zechariah’s crowns Joshua the high priest. What he is to proclaim on this occasion, and what it means.
In this message, we examine the third and fourth chapters of the book of Zechariah. First, we learn about the priest Joshua. He stands between the LORD and Satan, and the LORD claims him. He is clothed in clean garments and given a promise. Then, a vision of a strange, intricate lampstand. What does this mean? The LORD’s words to Zerubbabel.
In this message, we begin an examination of the book of Zechariah. We discuss the circumstances under which the book of Zechariah was written, after the return from the captivity, and during the building of the temple. We examine the first two chapters, including words for Zechariah’s present time, as well as prophecies concerning the future.
