Questions for the Lord…and from the Lord

September 7, 2022 SS, Matthew 22:15-46.The Pharisees and Herodians were desperate to find an excuse to get rid of Jesus. They wanted to kill him (John 5:18, 11:53; Luke 13:31) so they could maintain their grip on power. The Pharisees were the religious party, and the Herodians were the political party. Many of the Herodians were likely Sadducees as well. We see how Jesus answered the Sadducee's questions using scripture to testify of the resurrection to come.

Lord’s Table Service: Divine Judgment, Part 4

In the Beginning, Part 2

September 4, 2022 AM, Genesis 1:6-2:3.I recommend you and your students learn about modern cosmology
and evolution in order to be conversant with “people of the
culture” today. Do not be afraid to hear it taught. But have a strong
foundation in creationism. Do not be fooled by the “self-organizing
chaos” theory promoted today. It is just a new “learned” form of
pagan thought. Learn how to speak kindly to evolution-believers
about your own beliefs and where they come from. Be able to
show them by manner and content that you are reasonable and
have a God-honoring answer for their view. And do not be afraid of
science. Use it to glorify God like many scientists of old.
Recognize in all of this that God made the universe, and derivatively,
he made YOU. You are responsible to Him.
Our Scripture reading was found in Proverbs 22:1-29.

The Lord’s Name is to Be Praised Whole Heartedly

The Lord blesses those who keep His commandments, blessing them greatly. Most assuredly, righteousness endures forever. The Lord's name is to be praised, above all nations, forever and ever! Amen!

Man and Woman in the Ideal Garden

August 28, 2022 AM, Genesis 2:4-25.There are myriad directions we could explore the text of Scripture
further. Perhaps you would like to think of one or two this week.
Consider for example your stewardship responsibility as one of
Adam’s offspring. Think of your marriage situation and how your
oneness could be worked out in better fashion. Think of the need
to obey God in whatever instructions He has given you, lest you
experience more ill consequences of disobedience. Consider that if
you trust in God, you will someday get to partake of the tree of life.

Question About Taxes

August 24, 2022 PM, Matthew 22:15-46.The Pharisees and Herodians were desperate to find an
excuse to get rid of Jesus. They wanted to kill him (John
5:18, 11:53; Luke 13:31) so they could maintain their grip
on power. The Pharisees were the religious party, and
the Herodians were the political party. Many of the
Herodians were likely Sadducees as well. The verbal fluff in verse 16 introduces question was just
that — with the purpose to “butter up” Jesus and get Him
off guard (as if that was possible?!). The main question is in verse 17: “Is it lawful to pay taxes
to Caesar, or not?” Let’s try to answer the question in a
general way from what we know elsewhere in Scripture.
