The Generations Of Adam And Jesus - Devotional For Nov 15

The following quote is from a book by Arthur Pink entitled The Four Gospels which I am currently reading. It seems fairly good overall. In it, the author shows the differences between the four Gospels - how each one is unique and presents Jesus in light of the purpose of that particular Gospel: Matthew presents Jesus as the King of Kings, King of the Jews; Mark as the Servant of the Lord; Luke as the Perfect Man, the Son of Man; and John as God, the Son of God. If you want to dig in deeper on this theme, please click on the title of the book above to download it for free. Otherwise, enjoy this interesting excerpt from the chapter on Matthew. The Generations Of Adam And Jesus The first thing which arrests our attention is the opening verse. God, in His tender grace, has hung the key right over the entrance. The opening verse is that which unlocks the contents of this Gospel — “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.” The first five English words...

Audio Of Poems Presented In Church In 2022

Poems Presented In Church In 2021 to 2022, for about 10 months in the two main Sunday services, I presented poems in church as a ministry. Usually I shared an introduction to the poem (perhaps the story behind it if it was one of mine or if I knew of the events surrounding it), then I presented the verses behind it and a Biblical exhortation to draw closer to the Lord.  While we were recording the sermons preached each service, we did not think to actually record the poem presentations until about the last four months.

The Alabaster Box - Poem/Devotional Thought for Oct 18

The Alabaster Box (Mark 14:1-9) She did it; she broke it, there was no turning back. It was all or nothing; now the box was forever cracked. The ointment was poured forth, diffused throughout the room. Jesus’ body had been anointed, prepared for burial in the tomb. It was an offering of love and devotion to her Lord, But He remembered it forever, recorded in His Word. It wasn’t broken for show, only Jesus knew her heart. But as the spikenard flowed out, the aroma filled every part. The good work has been done, but there’s a lesson to learn: In all of life’s opportunities, now it’s my turn. The alabaster box of my heart was broken one day. On the altar of service, there the precious ointment lay. Dedicated to my Lord – fervent and sincere. I gave it all to Him, and the cost was dear. The sacrifice was offered, well-pleasing to God. I presented it with tears, and a soul that was awed. Thank You, Lord, for Your plan that includes even me. And in reasonable service, my life is broken for T...
