Recent audio talks based on the Bible
Here are just a few Bible teachings from 2020 onwards:
Hannah’s prophetic prayer
Childless Hannah, after praying to the Lord to be able to have a child, gave her baby away to be brought up by Eli who wasn’t a great fatherly figure!
Her precious gift of a baby, her treasure, she gave into God’s hands.
Hannah’s prayer, when she handed the young Samuel to Eli, was surprisingly joyful and full of God’s character and perfections…
“Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”
Our lives can be dominated by the fear of getting old, of illness of cancer, even the unknown.
What is being afraid in the good sense?
Being afraid in the wrong sense is wrong it means that fear has replaced faith and trust in God.
The disciples were terrified during a storm, but Jesus is asleep in the boat…
Living as an Inclusive Community – a church where people are accepted
“a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.” 1
Was Jesus disgusted, did he push her away?
Many Christians condemn sinners – Jesus did the opposite.
He gave His life to take the sinners’ sin and condemnation, but at times he got very angry at the religious leader’s sin.
How Paul handled the ‘sinful’ people attending the church at Corinth…
God loves to move in the small things
“God loves to move in the small things” Many churches look to the most educated people, the best ones to lead them, but God has other ideas…
Personal aspirations of getting somewhere in this life
Baruch had high expectations and he wasn’t content with just being Jeremiah’s scribe – he was destined for greatness. See Jeremiah 36:
How to use the Law correctly, and allow grace to move in people’s lives
The guards on duty at Jesus’ tomb experienced an earthquake, and saw an angel roll back the stone door, and yet some still some did not believe.
Do we need to use God’s Law to turn people around?
God of Vengeance – Psalm 94
When we look at the news, where is God’s justice now?
What can history teach us?
How do people behave – are Christians telling lies, etc?
God gives relief from days of trouble, what does that mean?
The Psalmist said to God, “Your consolation brought me joy” – what does the Lord’s consolation mean?
Historic audio Bible sermons
Some of my first sermons:
Daniel, a man of prayer – raising a desolate sanctuary
Jeremiah 25:11-12 “This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt,’ declares the Lord, ‘and will make it desolate forever.’ “
David in the Cave – training our conscience
David felt guilty for cutting a small corner off of wicked King Saul’s robe. Our conscience needs to be reading the same as God’s Word.
See 1 Samuel 24 where David Spares Saul’s Life. In two parts:
How do we know God better?
This teaching follows a little sketch showing:
- Reading a Corn Flakes packet = shallow reading.
- Reading a newspaper = more concentrated reading.
- Reading a detailed article and taking notes.
Psalm 119:17-20: “Be good to your servant while I live, that I may obey your word.
Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.
I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me.
My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times.”
The Days of the Son of Man
Based on Luke 17:20-37 The coming of the kingdom of God.
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark.” (verses 26-27).
The Kingdom of God and the power and authority of Jesus
For those in Christ’s Kingdom, Satan has no authority over them, the power of death has no hold on them, and hell has no legal right over them.
Jesus owns the Name above all names, and He is crowned with honour & majesty.
In the recording, it cuts out part of some verses, which are:
They tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, so that all people may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendour of your kingdom.
Psalm 145:11-13 NIV
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.”
Luke 7:37-38 ESV ↩
