PM Scripture Reading: Isaiah 10.20-23 Brent T. Willey The Remnant of God Introduction: Though Israel suffered various calamities because of their overall disobedience to God, there remained a “remnant.” There are 8 Hebrew words and 2 Greek words that can be translated as “remnant” in the biblical text. The most prolific: Hebrew: sha’ar & she’eriyth; Greek: leimma – Defined: “a remainder, the rest of something, residue, to be left over” (E.g., Gen. 7.23; 1 Kings 19.18; Jer. 42.2; Rom. 9.27). Rom. 11.5: “Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” Who […]

Willey “Hold The Hill!” Psalm 15.1  Introduction: The story is told of a young officer during World War I who was told to hold a small hill at all costs. He did so, which was the key to the overall victory! We have a position to hold (Matt. 28.18-20; John 12.48; cf., Rom. 10.17), and it is our duty to defend the pure gospel of Christ and lead others to it (Rom. 1.16; Acts 20.27; 1 Pet. 4.11). We must not “lose heart” […]

Consider: “The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away” (Matt. 13.20-21). There are many who have a good beginning as a Christian but then fizzle out like cheap fireworks on the fourth of July. I know the feeling. When I start too many projects it becomes so hard to finish any of them. I am usually reading three or […]

AM Scripture Reading: Proverbs 6.16-19 This Morning’s Sermon: Brent T. Willey The Fallacy of “Unconditional Love” Introduction: It is often stated that “God hates sin but loves sinners” – often followed by, “God loves us unconditionally!” If God didn’t love sinners, He would love no one, “for all have sinned…” (Rom. 3.23). God’s love is undeniable. (Rom. 5.6-8) However, the two Greek words for “love” (agapao & phileo) do not inherently infer a lack of conditions. In His love for humanity indeed God sent His Son, but His love does not negate conditions. (John 3.16-21) Even though God loves sinners, […]

AM Scripture Reading: Galatians 5.22-26 Brent T. Willey Being Faithful Proverbs 20.6 & Revelation 2.10 Introduction: How is “faithful” used in the Bible? Hebrew: emuwnah- “firmness, fidelity or steadiness; reliability” (1 Sam. 26.23; Psa. 119.90; 119.86) Greek: pistos- “faithful, to be trusted, reliable” (1 Cor. 1.9; 1 Tim. 1.15; 2 Tim. 2.2) It is a part of the “fruit of the Spirit” (Gal. 5.22). The two primary texts: Proverbs 20.6 & Revelation 2.10 “WHO CAN FIND A FAITHFUL MAN?” Proverbs 20.6: “Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man?” Proclaimed “goodness” – (Luke […]
