Introduction: I've noticed a shift in culture as I've grown older. When I was growing up in rural Christian America, people were either Christians or rebels, and the rebels generally acknowledged it. The rebels did not claim to be good, they were what they were....
Introduction: The Ten Commandments start out with the statement that we must have no other gods before our God. I've generally thought that idol worship (which was a big thing in the Bible), was idiotic. Why would anyone worship something that they made with their...
Introduction: Imagine a terrible divorce involving children. The mother hates the father, feels like she is in competition with him, and wants to erase his memory from the minds of the children. What diabolical things could the mother do to hurt the father? The f...
Introduction: When I was in school, I spent a summer working for a small construction company. It was not a great job. The work was dangerous because the owners seemed uncertain about some fundamental rules, like gravity for example. One of the owners cut off a...
Introduction: Last week we looked at the sanctuary built during the exodus of God's people from Egypt. From the sanctuary, and the original in heaven, we learned several lessons about God's desire to be with us and to save us from eternal death. This week we turn...

Introduction: Many years ago, I was in the Michigan area to meet with a group of teachers who had religious objections to supporting the teachers' union. Most of the teachers were very anxious to have me help them because they were convinced that it was displeasi...
Introduction: Does it sometimes seem that God is not real? Or, if He is real, He is not very concerned about us? Or, if He is concerned, that He is falling down on the job for reasons we do not understand? When this happens, who do we blame? All the questions I ju...
Introduction: Imagine being able to ask Jesus what He thought was the most important points of worship. Would that not be grand? Well, it turns out that we have exactly that already recorded in the Bible. Let's plunge right into our study of the Bible and find ou...
Introduction: How did the people who lived with Jesus worship? The early church was filled with people who had the opportunity to hear Jesus teach. Did they receive some special insight from our Lord? Can we import into our worship what they used in their worship...
