revelation-5:5

We have four Scriptures, in distant parts of the Word, which find connection with this subject, "The Redemption of the Inheritance." I mean Lev. 25: 25; Deut. 25: 5-10; Ruth 4: 1-10; Jer. 32: 6-15. The ordinance in Lev. 25 teaches us, that an Israelite might redeem or buy the inheritance of an impov... Read More

Someone last week said, "There are 404 verses in the book of Revelation, you covered half of the first one, we calculate that's 808 message... Read More

As you know, last week we finished the section in Matthew which was our concern. And rather than go on to the next section, I decided that instead of spending one Lord's day reviewing the message of Christmas, we'd spend two--this one and the next one. And what I want to share with you this week and... Read More

This morning as we prepare for the Lord's table and as we consider the Word of God, we don't have to go anywhere, we can stay right in Luke chapter 2. So open your Bible there, if you will, as we think about the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, the One who died for us on the cross which, of course, ... Read More
