Joseph, A Type of Christ
Joseph, A Type of Christ from Care for God’s Fruit-trees and other Messages by H. A. Ironside The story of Joseph as given in Genesis (chapters 37 to 50) is perennially fresh and delightful. Young and old alike revel in it. Looked at as an old-world picture of customs and people long-since vanished, there is a freshness and charm about it that stirs the heart and holds our attention in a remarkable way. But in studying Scripture there is not only the literal application, which is always important, but every part of the Word of God has a spiritual, typical, …
Understanding the Christian Life
It’s easier for new believers to start off well on the Christian journey when they grasp the true meaning of salvation Understanding the Christian Life GALATIANS 1:11-17 11 For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; …
“And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.”—Genesis 21:6.
“And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.”—Genesis 21:6. IT was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honoured with a son; and even so it is beyond all ordinary rules that I, a poor, helpless, undone sinner, should find grace to bear about in my soul the indwelling Spirit of the Lord Jesus. I, who once despaired, as well I might, for my nature was as dry, and withered, and barren, and accursed as a howling wilderness, even …
Question: “What is the full armor of God?”
Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having …
A Clear Conscience
A Clear Conscience 1 Samuel 24:8–21 8 David came out and shouted after him, “My lord the king!” And when Saul looked around, David bowed low before him. 9 Then he shouted to Saul, “Why do you listen to the people who say I am trying to harm you? 10 This very day you can see with your own eyes it isn’t true. For the Lord placed you at my mercy back there in the cave. Some of my men told me to kill you, but I spared you. For I said, ‘I will never harm the king—he is the …
You ARE chosen
You are not who you were yesterday.. You are not close to being who you will be tomorrow.. You are where you’re meant to be today.. You may not be perfect.. But you ARE chosen.. Just as you are.. God says, I have a word for you.. I know your whole life story.. I know every skeleton in your closet. I know every minute of shame, sin, dishonesty, and degraded love that has darkened your past. I know your shallow faith, your feeble prayer life, and my word is this.. I dare you to trust that I love you just …
Revelation Msg 10
In this video Dr Woodhead continues to discuss the apostasy of the Church and defines the nature of the Genuine true Church which is invisible.
“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, ”— 2 Timothy 1:9
“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, ”— 2 Timothy 1:9 The apostle uses the perfect tense and says, “Who hath saved us.” Believers in Christ Jesus are saved. They are not looked upon as persons who are in a hopeful state, and may ultimately be saved, but they are already saved. Salvation is not a blessing to be enjoyed upon the dying bed, and to be sung of in a future …
