John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
KJV
As Jesus did not pray that we be taken out of this world He also prayed for our purpose as Christians in this world. John chapter seventeen answers the questions of “Why doesn’t God just take me home?” One purpose we have is to bring glory to our heavenly Father as we noted yesterday. Another purpose […]

John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
KJV
Why are we as believers in Christ in this world, what is our purpose? Several things can be taken from this prayer of Jesus that point to our purpose in this world. One of them being to glorify God the Father in all that we do. (John 17:1-4 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up […] -

John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
KJV
“Why doesn’t God just take me home?” That is a question I often hear as a pastor when I am visiting the sick and elderly who know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior. It is a question that I understand more and more as I grow older in years and in the Lord […] -

The last of our sure covenants that we will look at this week is the sure covenant of prayer. God has promised to hear and answer our prayers. (Jer 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. ; 1 John 5:14 And this […] -

Neh 9:38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
KJV
This morning God’s sure covenant of salvation. I know some who believe that salvation in Christ can be lost after it has been gained. But that is not what the Bible teaches. Salvation is gained when one places their trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. When one realizes that […] -

Many are the covenants made by God that will not be broken. Consider this morning the covenant of His Word. God has given to man His unbreakable Word. (Ps 119:89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.) Here is an agreement, His Word, that will never be broken, will never pass away. […] -

Neh 9:38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
KJV
Are there any today who make sure covenants? A covenant is an agreement between two or more parties and they are made all of the time. But how many make sure covenants today? I watch the news on congressional hearings and see witness raise their hands and swear to tell the truth and then […] -

Luke 5:6-11 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

Luke 5:1-6 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and […]
