Sermons by Tim Hall (Page 62)
Hebrews 12:15 warns us about a “root of bitterness”. What does this mean? Does it concern us? “Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals.’” 1 Corinthians 15:33 (English Standard Version)
Two different men in the Bible are presented as fools. What was the trait they each shared in common? “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 (English Standard Version)
When an unfamiliar face appears in our assembly, how do we respond? Christians have clear instructions. “And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?” Matthew 5:47 (English Standard Version)
In Matthew 25 Jesus gives us a preview of how we will be judged. Prisoners are among those we should care about. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 (English Standard Version)
As Jesus works to make “all things new” in His people’s lives, we should expect changes in family relationships. “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.” Luke 6:31 (English Standard Version)
It mattered to God what the priests wore as they served Him. Does that principle still apply to God’s priests? “And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skins and clothed them.” Genesis 3:21 (English Standard Version)
There is a lot of new thinking about the matter of one’s gender. Does the Bible give us guidance? “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27 (English Standard Version)
“Doctrine” seems like such an old-fashioned concept. What is it, and why do we need to be concerned with it? “Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’” John 6:68 (English Standard Version)
How a person responds to others reveals much about who they are. How did Jesus respond to others while on earth? “And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, ‘Do not weep.’” Luke 7:13 (English Standard Version)
The idea of Hell is so awful; this is surely not a part of Christianity we must accept – is it? “And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:46 (English Standard Version)
