In chapter 5, Paul transitions in the book of Romans from a calling of repentance and delivering the Gospel, to encouragements, and a deeper understanding of justification. We see the fruits of justification, and the blessings we can expect if
The first “my son” oracle in Proverbs serves as a warning against the self destructive and deceptive nature of sin. Solomon takes as his example of wickedness, the plundering of innocent people. This scenario serves additionally to illustrate

The poetic context of Psalm 128 parallels passages from the prophets. Two examplesmight be Micah 4 and Zechariah 8. Our song today is a personalized confession and invocation of theredemption and hope found in Old Testament prophecies. Shinin
Similar to a medical diagnosis of a hospitalized patient, Paul's synopsis of the church at Corinth includes a description of their condition as well as an explanation of how a healthy body is designed to operate. He uses three analogies in our
If Biblical wisdom can be defined as the communicable attribute of God equipping his people with skills for the art of godly living, then the book of Proverbs reveals this aspect of God’s nature according to a 4-part structure. Chapters 1-7 ope
I Kings 3:9-12 documents Solomon’s famous request from God for wisdom to rule the kingdom of Israel after the death of his father David. Recognizing the weight of his calling: “your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a
Solomon proclaims in Psalm 127 that ascending in any area of life is conditional upon “vigilant providence” (Elicotts commentary). That is the providence of God, not as a set of impersonal systems, but the proactive favor of the Lord. Consider
Our recent resurrection themed sermon began with Ezekiel's vision of dry bones. Here in chapter 37:9-10, it was the breath of God picturing the power and means of His Holy Spirit that infused life into the human remains. The prophecy provides a
Building on our theme from “Palm Sunday”, today we consider milestones marking the covenant history of the hope of life after death. Just as the message of Jesus' triumphal entry is magnified upon the realization of a prophetic pattern in scrip
My thesis today is 2-fold: FIRST: the message of Palm Sunday is magnified upon the realization of a prophetic pattern in scripture & SECOND: Palm Sunday signals the great hero archetype of history. In support of proposition one: There is a pro
The book of Genesis is separated by two major historical context divisions. The 1st includes chapters 1-11 involving the state of all the world before and after both the fall of man and the great flood. The 2nd includes chapters 12-50 which fol
Psalm 126 features a hope of ascent sufficient to endure trials of destitution and exile. This is a song fitting for the covenantal terms prophetically revealed by Moses in Dt 4: 25-31. Here the prophet, declares before witnesses that the cons
As Paul prepares to address more issues at the church in Corinth, he testifies to Jesus Christ as the wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption of the universal church (1:30). Paul will go on to expand upon these themes in the conte
An overview of Joseph’s life reveals striking parallels in his calling & ministry to the person and work of Jesus. Jesus was the ultimate Messiah stooping low to save His people. Joseph is an early messianic prototype joining the testimony of
Now that Jacob has finally died, nothing stands between Joseph and his revenge, or sohis brother feared. Of all the riveting events In the life of Joseph, from his sensational prophetic dreams, tothe betrayal of his brother, to his rise to in
The vantage point of the mountains in proximity to Jerusalem serve as a stage for the proclamations (Mt. Sinai, Mt. Carmel) and purposes of God (Mt. Moriah, Calvary) throughout covenant history. We can easily imagine our author inspired to writ
What was to be the basis for the same mind and judgment that would establish the unifying principle among believers in Corinth? Paul had received reports of schism within the church. Factions were developing around various burgeoning ministrie
Much of Jacob’s life bore testimony to the grace of God in spite of his own frailties and failures. By his own accounting before Pharaoh he declared (47:9) “…Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained t
Jacob's dying song prophesies that the sons of Rachel will be incorporated in the legacy and blessings of all future national Israel. Ephraim's name, as the prominent son of Joseph, will become synonymous with the ten northern tribes, and Benja
A song of ascent written by King David. Ps 124 is a worship song and anational anthem. It was written by Israel's godly king and it stands as a universal call to worship. Inthis installment, the songs of ascent shift to the 2nd person perspec
