Jesus the Lamb Identified
John 1:29-34 It is likely that a lamb or lambs were slain to cover Adam and Eve in Genesis 3. It was a ram, caught in a thicket, by his horns that was sacrificed in the stead of Isaac in Genesis 22:13. It was a lamb that was killed on the first Passover and the …
John 1:1-5, 11-14
A few months ago I began a series going, at times verse by verse, or paragraph by paragraph, through the Gospel of John.

The Calling of a Prophet
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Then said I, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak: for I am a …
Praying for Knowledge
Colossians 1:9 I. THERE IS A DESTRUCTION FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.“ Hosea 4:6 (KJV). …

Study notes for Joel chapter 1
