Palm Sunday: The Stones

WILL THE STONES CRY OUT? By Mark E. Hardgrove, PhD Luke 19:29-44, NKJV 29 And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied,...

Pregnant Time

Doctor Luke did his homework, and the Holy Spirit ensured the validity of what he wrote.
We can have complete confidence in the texts of the Christian Bible.  The events recorded in both Luke and Matthew’s Gospels, regarding the conception, birth, and nativity of Jesus Christ are absolutely true.  God really did become one of us, putting on the robes of human flesh, yet without sin.  God’s only begotten Son was Mary’s firstborn Son, and He was born in the little town of Bethlehem, just as the Prophet Micah said He would.

What Are The Odds?

As the Christmas season begins, let’s look at eight prophecies concerning the birth and early years of the Messiah. We’ll look first at the prophecies in the Old Testament and then the New Testament fulfillment, remembering the astronomical improbability that these could have been fulfilled by chance alone. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of more than 300 prophecies.

Barren Place to Birthplace

In our text, we see a couple – Zacharias and his wife, Elizabeth – who came from the priestly lineage of their forefather Aaron.  They were righteous, they walked in God’s commands and ordinances, and they were blameless ... but they were barren.  They had no children, but even with the prospect of children quickly fading, they never stopped serving the Lord, and they had never stopped praying for their miracle.

Somebody is Always Watching: Father’s Day

Someone once told me that when it comes to our children, more things are caught than taught, meaning that we can teach all the right things, read our Bibles, pray with our children, and take them to church, but in the end the way we live our lives in front of our children will have a much more profound impact on them than all the words we speak or the lessons we teach.

GODLY MOTHERS NEVER GIVE UP

Mothers must never give up or surrender to the world.  The enemy roams around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, but greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.  Keep praying, keep believing, and keep fighting for the life of your sons and daughters.  Even if you are not a biological mother, you are a mother of the church, and the children in this church need your godly influence and your persistent prayers.

Male and Female He Created Them

In verse 28, “God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’”  Sin changed the dynamic between males and females, but the subjugation of women to men was not God’s original design.  He made us as two halves of one whole, which was designed to glorify Him.

Here Comes a Comeback

This is where frightful Friday and silent Saturday ended, but this is also where Sunday began.  What looked like the end, was just the beginning.  What looked like defeat, was a victory in the making.  What looked like shattered dreams and broken promises, was just an illusion because the reality was that with both hands and feet nailed to a cross, Jesus defeated the devil, He conquered sin, liberated the lost, and set the captives free.

Don’t Worry, Jesus Has A Plan

In a generation when the world seems to be going insane and it feels like the bedrock of morality is crumbling beneath our feet, I’m here to tell you that God has a plan.  And because He has a plan we can stand with our feet on a firm foundation because we are part of His plan.  He has a plan for His church, He has a plan for our lives, and He is planning to come again so that where He is there we may be also.  And like the people praising Jesus two thousand years ago, we should also be praising God that our Redeemer is the King of kings, and Lord of lords.
