• 12/5/04 Failures in Fellowship - Leviticus 6:1-7: Historically, the word fellow means to lay money; as to lay money down. A fellow was one who financially supported a business deal with someone else; a business partner. Fellowship then is to be united together in covenant for a common purpose.

• 04/20/05 Jesus Christ as the Head - Colossians 1:18: In the Bible, Jesus Christ is the Head of the Body, which is the church. If that is true, we ought to be able to look at the characteristics of the head in scripture and find it points to some characteristics of Jesus Christ. Let�s take a look at some of these and see if we can see Jesus.

We like the Laodiceans are �lukewarm�, growing cold on the things of God. 

• 05/15/05 - The Spirit That Goes Upward - Ecclesiastes 12:7-14: Man is made up of three parts: body, soul and spirit. When a man dies each of these parts has a specific destination. What insights can we gain from the scriptures regarding this matter?

• 07/17/05 That Other Gospel - Galatians 1:1-9: The Apostle Paul was shocked.

Perhaps we aren�t as good of Christians as we think ourselves to be.

• 09/14/05 Who are the Reprobates?: We have heard much of my life of the danger of sinning away our day of grace. This idea is that the Holy Spirit will only work in our hearts for so long, but at some time will cease and we are at that time, even if still alive, condemned to hell. Is it a Bible teaching? Is it possible that there are people among us who could never get saved?

• 9/18/05 Death in the Pot - 2Kings 4:38-41: God is always providing for His children. Satan exhausts himself poisoning what God has provided. What can we learn from this passage about how to protect what God has given us?

In this story the Lord commands Jeremiah to buy a field from his uncle in his hometown of Anathoth. Jeremiah is unlikely to get any benefit from the field, but he is to buy it anyway. God uses this event to promise future restoration of Israel. Fields will again be bought and sold in the land. This is a message of hope and promise in a time of destruction.

• 10/16/05 The Atonement - Leviticus 1: The Old Testament Saints did not understand everything that we understand today, but God still provided a way for them. The sacrificial system was for the purpose of fellowship with God. They too will base their eternal merit upon the shed blood of Christ.

Are you ready for the catching away of the saved?

• 10/26/05 Setting a Man Over the Congregation - Matthew 27:15-23: Ordination is first of all a simple confirmation that God has indeed called a man and that he has faithfully shown the evidences of this call. It places some honor from those who do the ordaining upon the man who is being ordained.

If not maybe you should go back to the example of Jacob and serve with love.

• 11/06/05 Blessed Are Those Servants - Luke 12:35-38: The servant must understand his relationship to His Lord. The Lord is the master of the house and He rules it without challenge.

• 11/06/05 The Regulations of the Burnt Offering - Leviticus 1:10-17: The burnt offering was a complete sacrifice. In all the other offerings, others (usually only the priests) were allowed to eat certain portions of the offered animal. However, in the burnt offering, nothing was to be eaten by man.

• 11/20/05 The Portion of the Wicked - Psalm 11:5-7: There are many terrible things in this life that we could experience that would not be pleasant. Possibly the worst thing that could happen to a person is to burn in a fire. It only lasts for a little while and you die, but still that is a horrible way to die. Imagine for a moment if you were on fire and you could not die. How terrible! Such is the lot of all those who have not put their trust for eternity in the finished work of Christ.

• 11/20/05 The Furtherance of the Gospel - Part 1- Philippians 1:12-18: The church has several ministries that minister to the Lord and His people, but the church has only one main ministry in the world. That ministry is to further the gospel of Jesus Christ at any cost.

Actually, there are very good reasons for calling it the meat offering.

• 12/4/05 The Sending of John the Baptist - Luke 1:76-80: John the Baptist was a great man of God. He was sent to prepare the way for our Saviour Jesus Christ. He also did many other things while setting out to prepare the way. We need to step out of our comfort zone and do some of the things John the Baptist did or, as the Bible says, launch out into the deep Luke 5:4). Find out what wonderful things God has for you.

• 12/4/05 Prayer in the Meat Offering - Leviticus 2:1-3: The meat offering is a picture of a life given to God.

Shortly before his death, he could give this testimony: �I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith� (2Timothy 4:7). Notice, he had finished his course.

• 12/18/05 The Meat Offering Conclusion - Leviticus 2: At the Feast of Pentecost there was to be offered a new meat offering. The new meat offering was like other meat offerings in most regards.
