Sermon Notes

(Resurrection Day) The three pits are mentioned again in the beginning of the message. This message shows the difference and the unity of the Jew and the Gentile. It also shows the two kinds of Salvation. There is Salvation by faith, by gift, and salvation by faith, by works. Our old Heart came from the Father, the tsoor Rock. Our New Heart comes from the Son, the seh-lah Rock.

(Father/Daughter Banquet) Various principles in the story of Esther were discussed. This message shows why Mordecai refused to bow down to Haman. And it shows that Mordecai set an example for Esther.

This message shows the perverted order of the “I,”  “Me,”  “My,” and “Mine.”  Psalm 23 shows the correct order: My, I, Me, and Mine. This Psalm reveals the following Stature of Truth about the MY.

The message begins with a review of the MY. Then the message discusses the Stature of Truth about the LORD’s “Big I,” His Humility “I.”

(Mother/Son Banquet) After the Banquet, several Principles in the story of Hannah and Samuel were discussed..

The whole world revolves around the prideful little god syndrome, the little prideful “I, Me, My, and Mine.”  When we are angry and unforgiving, and bitter, it all goes back to this “I, Me, My, and Mine” syndrome.

This message reviews the My’s and I’s in Psalm 23, and discusses the last four Me’s.

(4) “Thou art with me.”  This me has to do with our own being, body, soul, spirit, and will.
(5) “[T]hy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.” This message explains the two sides of the Name.
(6) “Thou preparest a table before me.”
(7) “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me….” The message explains how our enemies are our friends.

This message answers the following questions:

1. The Bible says in Amos 9:11 that there is going to be a restoration of David’s tabernacle. What does that mean and when will it be fulfilled?

2. Please explain Proverbs 16:2 and Proverbs 16:32.

This message shows the relationship between Psalm 23 and Philippians 4:13. “TheLORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Consequently, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”  All things means This (positive) and That (negative) of the Torah-Truth.

Luke 12:34 says: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ”God’s Word reveals a Stature of truth about Treasures.

(I.) Jesus Christ is the Treasure, Light (II Corinthians 4:6,7).
(II.) Spiritual Treasures in Heaven (Matthew 2:1-11).

Abraham was the Father of the Bride. Genesis 14:7 shows that the Amalekites fought against God’s natural Bride, the Nation of Israel. Amalek signifies that inferiority pride within us that is the most vicious against God and against each other.

Genesis 22:1 says that God tempted Abraham. The Hebrew word for tempt in this verse is naw-saw. This message shows the different families of Hebrew words that display the meanings of the word for tempt. It is important for us to see that every decision in Time is joined way out into Eternity. It not only extends through Time, but back beyond Time is the o-lawm Eternity. O-lawm is a word for everlasting and for eternity. It is also a word for the world.

The following questions were answered in this message:

(1) Please explain who the watchers and the holy ones are in Daniel, chapter four, verse seventeen, and the difference between the decree of the watchers and the demand of the holy ones.

(International Convention) The Bible says that the Tree of Life in the New City grows out of the River of Life. The River of Life is really the gratitude of the Holy Spirit that comes out of the eyes of the Lamb and flows down under the Throne and out through the middle of the New City. So life is gratitude.
