4/19/2026 Luke 4:1-14 How To Win Over Temptation Intro: My grandfather said “I can resist anything but temptation. That’s humans under the fall. That’s what caused the fall. What did Eve say…”the serpent bequiled me and I did eat.” Bequiled means tempted. The favorite catch phrase today is….”I got this.” Well as soon as you say that the devil smiles and says “no I’ve got you now.” We think because we are Christians that we won’t be tempted. We will be tempted worse than before we were saved. The Devil wants to destroy you.

4/19/2026 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 Preparing For The Rapture Intro: The rapture is described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. The verses before that tell us how to live before this happens. It can happen at any moment. So how should we prepare our lives. How should we live? The Bible tells us.

4/12/2026 John 10:1-5 How To Recognize a False Shepherd Intro: They say to recognize a counterfeit bill you have to know what a real bill looks like intimately! You don’t study fakes….. you study the real! We are fooled and tricked everyday by fakes. Ai is so good today that you cannot tell a real person from an AI on a video. Liars always tell you just enough truth to hide the lie. Rat poison is 99% nutritious! And some liars just tell lies so big that it just has to be true! How can you recognize false teachers and preachers in these days of AI and such good deceivers out there? It’s really very simple.

4/12/2026 Revelation 21:1-27 and 22:1-6 The New Jerusalem Part Six Intro: There are many questions about the New Jerusalem of which we don’t have many answers but the basics. It’s size, It’s shape and it’s inhabitants. We know the bride of Christ will be there. We think that eventually includes the OT saints and the Tribulation saints. It is described as a bride adorned for her husband and the church is the only bride of Christ. Are the OT saints the church?….Not technically but they will be in heaven with the church…during the Marriage supper of the Lamb……. they are friends of the bridegroom. John 3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. Are the Tribulation saints the bride? Not likely because most likely the marriage supper of the Lamb occurs in heaven during the tribulation. Be we will look at what we know and use Biblical speculation on what we don’t know. Eventually all redeemed with be together or at least be able to fellowship with each other.

3/22/2026 Psalm 27:1-6 Victory Over All Our Enemies Intro: This is basketball tournament season. Teams want to win. They want to be champions. When they win it’s great…. when they lose its devastation. How does a team get the victory? They score more points than the other team. You know that actually a team wins by making less mistakes than their opponents. No one is perfect not even basketball teams. One team is less awful than the other and that’s the winner! That’s the way it is! God want’s to know and understand that we are far from perfect. We are awful…but He is perfect. He is Holy, Just, and perfectly righteous in every way! In basketball no one is perfect. But when they win a championship it doesn’t matter how many mistakes they made it only matters that they end up alone with the trophy. It only matters that in the end they were victorious! In the Christian life it doesn’t matter how many mistakes we make as long as we wind up standing with alone with the trophy. That trophy, the crown of life…. is given by Jesus Christ. David wrote Psalm27 during a time and season of trouble but it is a song about confidence and Victory.

3/15/2026 Galatians 4:4-10 God’s Two Fold Plan For Man Intro: God has a plan for man. His plan is two fold. To Redeem us from our sins and adopt us as His children forever and ever!

3/8/2026 Esther 7:1-6 God Will Turn The Tables On The Wicked Intro: The book of Esther is the only book in the Bible that does not directly mention the name of God. There is the beautiful young orphan girl who rises from obscurity to become queen. She even hides a secret that could bring about her demise. Then there is the ambitious villain whose passion is to destroy the innocent. But in the end, the point of this true story is clear: Once again the Israelites’ God miraculously saves His people from certain destruction. The identity of the author of Esther is unknown. However the writer was probably Jewish and lived in Persia. A strong Jewish spirit pervades the book, particularly evident in the account of the establishment of the Jewish festival Purim. Purim comes for the word “Pur” which means “lot” or dice. The wicked Haman cast a dice to decide what day he would destroy the Jewish people in the ancient Persian empire. That’s why sometimes it is called the festival of “lots.” Purm was to begins on the fourteenth of twelfth month…March 2-3 this year in our calendar. (Esther 9:17-19) On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.18 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness. 19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another. It Lasted two days (Esther 9:21) To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, Mode of celebrating is mentioned in (Esther 9:17-19,22) The Jews bound themselves to keep the feast (Esther 9:27,28) Esther 9:28 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed. Purim was confirmed by royal authority (Esther 9:29-32) The nation of Israel just finished the feast of Purim recently. Purim is NOT one of the required feasts of Israel ordained by God. Purim is at time of feasting and gladness but not ordained or required because it was NOT implemented or commanded by God during the wilderness wanderings and the time of Law giving under Moses.

3/1/2026 Jude 1:3-4 How To Be A Good Soldier For Christ Intro: The author of this epistle calls himself Jude, and there is no reason to think that this is a pseudonym. There are six individuals named Jude in the New Testament, but only two are likely to have written this book: (1) the apostle Jude (see Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13), who is probably Thaddaeus of Matthew 10:3; (2) Jude the brother of James and the half brother of the Lord Jesus. The brothers of the Lord are named in Matthew 13:55 as “James, Joses, Simon, and Judas.” Since the author does not claim apostolic authority, and since verse 17 indicates that the apostles are a group that does not include the writer, we are left with the second candidate—Jude, the brother of the Lord and of James. This identification is confirmed by the author’s reference to his brother James (v. 1) and a reference in a letter of Clement of Alexandria (around a.d. 153–217). Although assigning an exact date for the writing of Jude is impossible, it is likely that the book was written between a.d. 60 and 64. It was almost certainly written before a.d. 70, since Jude does not make any reference to the fall of Jerusalem in a.d. 70. The United States and Israel attacked Iran early Saturday morning our time. They are wreaking havoc in Iran. Iran is sending missiles to Israel and Neighboring Islamic countries. Saudia Arabia, Quatar, etc… Our soldier have to depend upon their training and skills now. They have been thrust in to battle. Their goal is to defend their country to the death if need be. This war means the world is heading for a climax….of judgment and jubilation. Judgment of an unbelieving world and the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. Soldier know how to be good soldiers for the Untited States. How can we be good soldiers of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Be we will look at what we know and use Biblical speculation on what we don’t know. Eventually all redeemed with be together or at least be able to fellowship with each other. Got Questions.org--The New Jerusalem, which is also called the tabernacle of God, the Holy City, the city of God, the Celestial City, the city foursquare, and heavenly Jerusalem, is literally heaven on earth. It is referred to in the Bible in several places. Galatians 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all; Hebrews 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Hebrews 12:22–23 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect; and Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. It is most fully described in Revelation 21 and 22. Some scholars believe that the new Jerusalem will descend from heaven and hover over the Millennial Kingdom as a satellite city of the glorified church during Christ’s thousand-year reign. Scripture offers no evidence for this position. Some believe including me…..that the new Jerusalem is presented in Revelation chapter 21 and 22 is as it will be in the eternal state, not in the Millennial Kingdom. So Paul tells us that the Jerusalem is above. Galatians 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. So right now there is a city of Jerusalem in heaven and that’s where it will be during the tribulation when it come down OUT of heaven. Revelation 21:1 which we will see shortly. In Revelation 21, the recorded history of man is at its end. All the ages have come and gone. Christ has gathered His church in the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:15–17). The tribulation has passed (Revelation 6—18). The battle of Armageddon has been fought and won by our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:17–21). Satan has been chained for the 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth (Revelation 20:1–3). A new, glorious temple has been established in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 40—48). The final rebellion against God has been quashed, and Satan has received his just punishment, an eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7–10.) The great white throne judgment has taken place, and mankind has been judged (Revelation 20:11–15). In Revelation 21:1 God does a complete make-over of heaven and earth (Isaiah 65:17; 2 Peter 3:12–13). The new heaven and new earth are what some call the eternal state and will be “where righteousness dwells.” 2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Who are the residents of the New Jerusalem? The Father and the Lamb are there (Revelation 21:22). Angels are at the gates (verse 12). We know the city will be filled with the bride, the Lambs wife. Revelation 21:9 let me show the bride, the Lambs wife.…His church, God’s redeemed children. The New Jerusalem is the righteous counter to the evil Babylon (Revelation 17), destroyed by God’s judgment (Revelation 18). The wicked had their city, and God has His.
