A Man Not Blind, But Refusing To See

Language English

John Spellman preaches at the Beit Shalom SDA Church in Manhasset, NY. Sermon is based on Jeremiah 28. The story of a false prophet, named Hananiah, who contradicts Jeremiah's message. With two prophets saying entirely opposing things, how could a person decipher which message was really from God? Was it the popular message? Was it the message everyone wanted to hear? With so many opposing voices in today's world, how can we know which one is truly from God? What did the people of Judah, during the reign of Zedekiah, choose? How does this compare with what people are choosing today? How can we know when God is speaking to us? Many choose to be blind by refusing to see. But we can know the truth!

Gathering In

As Jewish people celebrate the feast of Sukkot, Christians should be reminded of what it meant and what it pointed to in prophecy? What if I told you it had a hidden meaning that was significant for our time today? Was the feast of Tabernacles only a commemoration of freedom from Egyptian bondage? Or was there something it pointed to in the prophetic future and the ministry of Jesus? Why did God want the people to dwell in booths? We will take a brief look at salvation history as good and evil struggle for custody of humanity in the Great Controversy.

Matthew: Son of David

How does Matthew introduce the gospel? Who exactly was Matthew and why was his perspective on Jesus' ministry unique? Why does he use a genealogy to introduce Jesus as the Messiah and what does this ancestral record say about who Jesus is? What can we learn in the Bible about who Jesus is as a person, what God is like, and His mission here on earth? Was Jesus really divine? What did Jesus reveal to the world about God? What can we learn about God through the people Jesus was related to? What hope might be in all this for us today?

Lost Day Of History

The Bible teaches about a day lost in history. A day God designed for us to remember. This week's lesson uncovers the mystery of this forgotten and lost day.

The Eyes Of Conscience

Spiritual sight is the Holy Spirit’s conviction to our conscience, helping us to recognize our state of sinfulness. I love to call that process the eyes of conscience. You see, irrespective of how morally good many of us are, in the eyes of God, our righteousness is really just filthy rags. By our good works, we are unable to measure up to God’s standard of righteousness. Therefore, we need the eyes of conscience to see our real status.

No More Excuses

While you could be made right by following earthly laws, it is not so in God’s government. No one can keep God’s Law to be saved. Not at all - it is an impossible feat! On the contrary, we obey God’s Law because we have been saved by Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf. His gift of grace empowers us to be obedient.

Let Love Be Real

True sincere and genuine love isn’t just felt but is seen. The mark of a true Christian is their love in action. The love shared among themselves and with others. In a world filled with pretenders, we are bombarded with ‘plastic’ smiles and persons whose words do not match their actions. True feelings are faked, even in some marriages, as intentions are disguised under feigned appearances. In a world where this is the norm, as Christians, we are called to be different, to be genuine and sincere in our intentions and actions.
