Sermons on Books of the Bible Verse by Verse

Genesis

• A Land That the Lord Cares For - Genesis 12:1: The land of Israel has been in the headlines for the last 2,000 years. There are obvious reasons why. This is a land that the scriptures say the Lord cares for. This is the land that the Lord has chosen to place His name and it is a land where God's chosen people dwell.

Exodus

Leviticus

• Introduction to Leviticus - Leviticus 1:1-2: Leviticus is a wonderful book. If it was studied and meditated on like it should be, we would experience great revival. This sermon gives an overview of this powerful book.

• Five Major Offerings - Leviticus 1:1-2: The Levitical sacrificial system had five separate and distinct offerings that could be made to the Lord. These are the five major offerings that are introduced in the first five chapters of Leviticus. Each of these offerings provide a practical application for a godly walk and a beautiful picture of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

• 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.

• The Acceptance of the Offering - Leviticus 1:1-4: This sermon is a continuation of the study of the book of Leviticus. It is not enough that the offering is brought; it must be acceptable to God. God must receive it.

• The Bringing of the Burnt Offering - Leviticus 1:4-9:  Although the burnt offering is a picture of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, it is also a picture of the believer who gives himself unto the Lord. In this message, we will look at this second way of understanding the meaning of the burnt offering. We are to give ourselves entirely and without reserve to God.

• 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. It was all to be consumed on the altar as a gift to God. We need to look at our sacrifice to God in the same way. We need to give ourselves entirely to Him.

• The Meat Offering - Leviticus 2:1-3: The meat offering has a very special typology that is revealed plainly by the cross references to the word meat as used by Christ. The meat offering is the offering of a �living sacrifice��the kind Christians are supposed to give (Romans 12:1). It is also the kind of sacrifice Christ gave during His earthly ministry.

• The Meat Offering - Part 2 - Leviticus 2: Almost every scholar wants to change the meat offering to something else�although they cannot decide what else.  The name is said to be confusing to Bible readers.  The meat offering has no animal flesh.  In fact, it is the only major offering in which no animals are killed.  Why is it called the meat offering?  Actually, there are very good reasons for calling it the meat offering.

• 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. There was, however, to be one major difference. The new meat offering was to be offered with leaven. Leaven, the type of sin, was to be included. Why?

• A Thing Most Holy - Leviticus 2:1-8: The Meat Offering is a picture of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ and even points to His incarnation.

• Prayer in the Meat Offering - Leviticus 2:1-3:  The meat offering is a picture of a life given to God.  The frankincense is a special kind of incense and is a picture of the prayers of God's people.  This presents a wonderful picture that a life that is to be completely dedicated to God must be a life of prayer.

• The Failure of Labor - Ecclesiastes 1:1-8:  Do you labor and labor in something only to find that it is all vanity?  Find out what Ecclesiastes has to say about it.

• The Failure of Education - Ecclesiastes 1:8-11:  To many in our school systems and other areas of education the main problem solver is education.  Solomon, however, will show you that education does not solve everything and once again all is vanity under the sun.

• The Seven Myths of Education - Ecclesiastes 1:16-18:  We are told so many things about what education is and how it can be obtained.  Find out what the scriptures have to say about the world's philosophy.

• The Vanity of Luxury - Ecclesiastes 2:1-8:  Solomon had everything.  He had houses, vineyards, gardens, pools of water, servants and maidens, men singers and women singers.  Yet once again he found this to be vanity.

• Therefore I Hated Life - Ecclesiastes 2:9-11:  Have you ever just hated life and perhaps wanted to die?  Some would say that you must be wicked to feel this way, but actually the list of people in the Bible who wanted the same would be a who's who list on knowing God.

• Vexation of Labour - Ecclesiastes 2:18-22:  You spend your whole life working and setting aside money only to leave it to the next generation and as Solomon says "who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool".

• Our Vanity in Time - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.  Our timing on earth is vain unless the Lord be with us.

• Our Vanity in Judgment - Ecclesiastes 3:16-22:  In the place of judgment and in the place of righteousness was there found wickedness.  Solomon declares that God will judge both the wicked and the righteous.

• The Vanity of Elevation to Power and Plenty - Ecclesiastes 4:1-6:  Some would say that if they just got that next pay raise or the promotion that all of their problems would be solved but not so according to the Bible, for even this is vanity.

• Two are Better Than One - Ecclesiastes 4:9-12:  A verse by verse study in the Book of Ecclesiastes.  This section gives several practical reasons why two are better than one.

• 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?

John

• A Man Sent From God - John 1:6-7:  There is a great famine in the land for men who will take a stand for God.  John the Baptist was such a man, what about you?

• The Sufficiency of Christ - John 1:16-17:  The demands of the Christian life are great. You are not sure if you can match up. The truth is, you cannot. We can only serve the Lord fully through His enabling grace and power. That is the message of this sermon.

• The Temptations of John the Baptist - John 1:19-22:  We often focus on the temptations of the flesh and the world and what they offer. However, many of our greatest struggles come from the temptations of life. We wonder who we are, what we have accomplished, and if followed the right path. John the Baptist dealt with these temptations. We need to learn to handle them as he did.

• Like a Dove - John 1:32-33:  Many of the teachings about the Holy Ghost are false. But that is no reason to ignore Him. The Bible says much about the Holy Spirit and His working in the life of the believer. In scripture, the dove is given as a type and picture of the Holy Ghost. This type provides much valuable teaching and direction.

Acts

• Introduction to Acts: The book of Acts is a very important book, but it is also a very dangerous book in the hands of a false teacher. It is important for us to realize that this is a book of transition in the times of the early church.
