Luke 8:16-21 - The Parable of the Lamp

Bruce W. Gore, M.A., J.D., has offered educational materials for those interested in the Christian faith for about 50 years. He served on the adjunct faculty of Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington for over 30 years, while maintaining a private practice in trial law. His informal and relaxed style, combined with rich content, have made Bruce a popular lecturer, teacher, and preacher, for many years. Bruce offers educational materials in Bible, history, and theology from the perspective of the Reformed Tradition, but his even-handed approach to his topics have made him popular with many from a variety of other traditions as well. Bruce is now retired, but continues to develop and upload material of help to many, and it is his firm hope that you will find these presentations a blessing and encouragement! Bruce is very proud of his daughter Noelle, whose blog has been an encouragement to many. https://boxhilltalks.substack.com

Scripture:Verse By Verse 

with Michael Meurett

Study the entire Bible verse by verse.

I have been teaching the Bible verse by verse on radio and television for over 30 years. My goal has always been to teach it in a clear simple understandable way, and to make it as practical as possible. As the name implies these commentaries are basic, and hopefully they will make Scripture more understandable for you. I pray they are used by God to draw you closer to Christ.

Calvary Mountain View Church (CMV) is in fellowship with Calvary Chapel and was founded in 2003. Originally being called Provo Christian Fellowship, the CMV name was not adopted until its move from the city of Provo to American Fork in 2004. Pastor Joe McCormick was born and raised in Southern California and studied at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa School of Ministry. In 1997 he came on staff as an assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel East Anaheim (CCEA). Six years later, CCEA was proud to send the McCormick family, along with one other dedicated family, to join in the work that the Lord is doing in Utah County.

CMV is devoted to sharing the love of Christ and our hope is to help foster this love in others. 

Our focus is centered around Matthew 11:28-30, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Comment faire pour connaître DIEU (Jn 8:54-58).  /   How to Know GOD (Jn 8: 54-58)

...The Cross is about the remission of sins...Baruch haba beshem YAHWEH...BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF YAHWEH...

IsaYAH 61:1-2
The Spirit of the LORD YAHWEH is upon ME; because YAHWEH hath anointed ME to preach good tidings unto the meek; HE hath sent ME to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of YAHWEH…

John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. HE was with GOD in the beginning. Through HIM all things were made, and without HIM nothing was made that has been made. In HIM was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcomea it.  

John 1:14
The WORD became flesh and made HIS dwelling among us. We have seen HIS GLORY, THE GLORY of the ONE and only SON from the FATHER, full of GRACE and TRUTH.

NHCCFTL Sermons

Delivered during the Sunday morning worship service, 10/23/2022. As we return to the Gospel of Luke, we pick up Jesus' teaching directly after the parable of the Sower and the soils.  Luke expertly weaves together three seemingly disconnected proverbs (of sorts) as an in-depth commentary on the parable and particularly on the growth of seeds that fall in the good soil.  Luke will mix metaphors, adding the idea of Light in a dark room to illustrate the spread of the Gospel in a dark world as well as the day of judgment when all will become clear.  We will grapple with the "upside-down" nature of the Kingdom of God, where spiritual gifts and blessings are taken away from those who will not use them and given to those who will.  Bringing all this together, we will add our own metaphor to the mix, using Ezekiel's magnificent prophecy of a river that flows from the Temple in Jerusalem, growing ever stronger until it brings life and healing to all that is in its path.  We will see this as an illustration of the way both disciples and churches should be growing ever deeper, stronger and more impactful to the dark world around us-- just like Ezekiel's river.
