As we continue to look at the life and reign of Herod the Great, it feels like we are reading today’s headline news.

It confirms Sir Lord Acton’s quotation about whether religious leaders are as accountable for their bad deeds as political leaders are.

He wrote, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority…”

We must continually remember, first and foremost, ALL the GLORY BELONGS to the LORD!!!

We recommend the following music to go with your lesson time together:.

1)  GREAT IS THE LORD

2)  How Great Is Our God

3)  Humble Me

4)  You Alone

A Tale of Two Kings Pt. 2 Transcript

Herod’s Rise (Seeking Power)

Remember, God is working from a timetable!

He has everything scheduled for the rest of time.

In Review

In our last lesson we saw the influence of Greek thought and ways upon the known world, including the Jews.

We began looking at Herod the Great, an evil king of Judea.

We learned a little Jewish history and some background about Herod’s birth family.

It was nearing the end of Israel’s subservience to the Greek empire.

At this time, the occupying Greek King was, Syrian born, Antiochus IV (an·tai·uh·kuhs).

Even though they hated being conquered and then occupied by the Greeks, Jews at this time, were attracted to Greek thought and culture.

The Hellenistic (or Greek) world had become very prosperous.

They cared about one thing: “What makes for a good life?”

People were no longer concerned about the origin of life, ethics, morals, society, or proper government.

The topic of the day was happiness and personal satisfaction.

They were rich and sophisticated, lovers of pampering bath houses, elaborate dress, educated in literature and many languages, sports minded with grand arenas, arts minded, and rich in mythology.

At first the Greek conquerors were tolerant of Jewish religion and traditions—as if the Greek and Jewish ways and values could somehow exist side by side.

Eventually, the tides turned. Antiochus IV reversed the tolerance policy and issued a decree banning Jewish religion.

He then defiled the Temple and killed thousands of Jews for being Jews.

And now…

A Tale of Two Kings Pt. 2

Herod’s Rise (Seeking Power)

Today, we will learn how a young man named Herod became “Herod the Great.”

Growing up in this polarized environment of Jewish thought vs Greek values, Herod became a master of playing both sides.

He was thoroughly Hellenistic at heart, while at the same time, courted the favor of both the Jewish and (soon to be) Roman leaders—a real savvy politician!

Israel had been subject to a series of conquering empires—

The Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes & Persians, and the Greeks (which we are looking at now), plus the Romans (which we will look at soon).

But first, we need to look at the origin of the Jewish holiday… Hanukah.

It all began when an old priest named Mattathias refused to perform a pagan sacrifice ordered by Antiochus IV.

He killed the Greek officer who was trying to force him to comply, as well as a fellow Jew who did comply and was performing the ritual.

This began a Jewish revolt against the ruling Greeks.

Mattathias (the old priest) escaped to the hills with his five sons & formed a resistance party—a clan of warriors known as the Hasmoneans (also called the Maccabees).

Then, Antiochus’ soldiers killed nearly a thousand of them during the Sabbath.

After that, they agreed they would fight Antiochus’ army, even on the Sabbath.

The Hasmonean army defeated Antiochus and his army and reclaimed the Temple.

While rededicating the Temple to God, they lit the Temple lamp.

According to Jewish Tradition, the lamp contained a days’ oil.

Yet, as the tale is told, it continued to burn for eight days.

This is where the Jews get their eight-day celebration called, Hanukkah.

Although they revolted against their Greek king, and had come to hate Greek rule, they had also come to love the Greek ways, thinking and culture.

Because of this, the Hasmonean dynasty did not look much different than the Greek dynasty they replaced.

They loved their former Hellenistic lifestyle.

As a result, they soon began to live a hybrid lifestyle, part Greek, and part Jewish.

Just like the oppressive foreign powers before them, the Jewish Hasmonean dynasty was filled with political backstabbing and maneuvering.

Some of the Hasmonean leaders eventually decided that it wasn’t enough to be JUST a king or JUST a High Priest. 

This is the ultimate thirst for power!

At first, a man (or woman) might want to be a civil or secular leader.

This may be expressed through politics, or business or just rising to the top of any human endeavor or organization.

They want to be the leader, the boss or even, as they say today, The G.O.A.T.

The G.O.A.T.

Greatest of All Time!

Knowing the prideful heart of man, God created laws that forbade any one person from becoming both King and High Priest.

The Jewish king must come from the house of David and Jewish priests must come from the tribe of Levi.

Also, the one and only High Priest must come from the sons of Aaron.

The Hasmonaeans were from the tribe of Levi, and they were fierce revolutionaries, but they were not from the house of David and had no right to ever act as kings of Israel.

They were also not from the sons of Aaron and therefore, had no right to presume to serve as High Priests in the Temple.

 Hosea 8:4 (ERV)

“The Israelites chose their kings, but they didn’t come to me for advice. They chose leaders, but they didn’t choose men I knew…”

Here is a bible story about a king who tried to break God’s law regarding priests and kings.

Uzziah was made King of Israel at only 16, and God blessed everything he did.

Uzziah began to resent any area of power or authority that was not his for the taking—including the spiritual power reserved for the sons of Aaron—the rightful High Priests.

2 Chronicles 26:3-22 (ERV)

“Uzziah was 16 years old when he became king… Uzziah did what the Lord wanted him to do… Zechariah taught Uzziah how to respect and obey God. When Uzziah was obeying the Lord, God gave him success.

Uzziah fought a war against the Philistines. He tore down the walls around the towns of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Uzziah built towns near the town of Ashdod and in other places among the Philistines…

2 Chronicles 26:3-22 (ERV) cont.

…God helped Uzziah fight the Philistines…The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah. His name became famous all the way to the border of Egypt. He was famous because he was very powerful… He built towers in the desert. He also dug many wells. He had many cattle in the hill country and in the flat lands…

2 Chronicles 26:3-22 (ERV) cont.

…Uzziah had an army of trained soldiers… There were 2600 leaders over the soldiers. These family leaders were in charge of an army of 307,500 men who fought with great power… Uzziah made machines that were invented by clever men. These machines were put on the towers and corner walls. They shot arrows and large rocks. Uzziah became famous. People knew his name in far away places. He had much help and became a powerful king.

2 Chronicles 26:3-22 (ERV) cont.

…BUT when Uzziah became strong, his pride caused him to be destroyed. He was not faithful to the Lord his God. He went into the Lord’s Temple to burn incense on the altar for burning incense… Azariah the priest and 80 brave priests who served the Lord followed Uzziah into the Temple. They told Uzziah he was wrong. They said to him, “Uzziah, it is not your job to burn incense to the Lord…

2 Chronicles 26:3-22 (ERV) cont.

…It is not right. That is for the priests, Aaron’s descendants, to do. They are the only ones who have been prepared for the holy work of burning incense. You have not been faithful, so you must go out of the Most Holy Place. The Lord God will not honor you for this.” But Uzziah was angry. He had a bowl in his hand for burning incense. While Uzziah was very angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead.”

2 Chronicles 26:3-22 (ERV) cont.

…This happened in front of the priests in the Lord’s Temple by the altar for burning incense. Azariah the leading priest and all the priests looked at Uzziah. They could see the leprosy on his forehead. The priests quickly forced him out from the Temple. Uzziah himself hurried out because the Lord had punished him. So Uzziah the king was a leper. He could not enter the Lord’s Temple…

This combined position of both the world’s King (the King of all Kings) and man’s High Priest was intended for one man alone—

The Lord, Christ Jesus!!!

Only He can handle this much power and authority.

Only He has both the absolute right and the humility of heart to use these two positions to serve humanity and never abuse them.

Only He is good!

Revelation 19:16 (BBE)

“And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

Hebrews 4:14-15 (NIRV)

“We have a great high priest. He has gone up into heaven. He is Jesus the Son of God. So let us hold firmly to what we say we believe. We have a high priest who can feel it when we are weak and hurting. We have a high priest who has been tempted in every way, just as we are. But he did not sin.”

Philippians 2:9–11 (NLT)

“Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Scripture warns us that feelings of lust for power and elevated position are potent enough to cause untold destruction and even wars.

They will most certainly destroy the one who feels them.

James 4:1-3 (MSG)

“Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it… You lust for what you don’t have and are willing to kill to get it… You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it…”

These thoughts and feelings are not new.

They were first thought and felt by a beautiful angel named, Lucifer (the devil).

He too wanted power over everything, even things that belong only to God.

Isaiah 14:12-15 (NKJV)

“How you are fallen from heaven,

O Lucifer, son of the morning!

How you are cut down to the ground,

You who weakened the nations!

For you have said in your heart…

Isaiah 14:12-15 (NKJV)  cont.

“’I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,To the lowest depths of the Pit.”

2 Thessalonians 1:4 (GWT)

This prophecy tells us that the antichrist will one day have similar thoughts:

“He will oppose every so-called god or object of worship and will put himself above them all. He will even go in and sit down in God’s Temple and claim to be God.”

“James 3:13-16 (GW)

“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbour bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth…

Psalm 49:10-12 (TLB)

“Rich man! Proud man! Wise man! You must die like all the rest! You have no greater lease on life than foolish, stupid men. You must leave your wealth to others. You name your estates after yourselves as though your lands could be forever yours and you could live on them eternally. But man with all his pomp must die like any animal.”

Romans 2:8 (AMP)

“But for those who are selfishly ambitious and self-seeking and disobedient to the truth but responsive to wickedness, there will be wrath and indignation.”

The Hasmonean dynasty lasted around 103 years…

Then came the Romans!!!

The Hasmonean dynasty came under the thumb of Roman rule.

For a season, the Romans, much as the Greeks before them, allowed the Jews to continue with their religious traditions provided they submitted to Roman rule and paid their taxes.

Herod’s family was rich and influential.

They were still quite like the sophisticated ruling Greeks.

And now they were collaborators with the ruling Romans—wining and dining them.

It wasn’t long before both Herod’s father & grandfather held high offices in Judea. They had the blessing of their Roman conquerors.

It’s worth noting here that there are three generations of the Herodian dynasty in involved in the lives of Jesus and the apostles.

Herod the Great: Who, in order to stop Jesus’ arrival, killed the Bethlehem babies.

His son, Herod Antipas: Who beheaded John the Baptist.

And His Son, Herod Agrippa: Who persecuted the believers in Acts.

But now, back to Herod’s family.

His father’s name was Antipater.

Herod’s mother was Cypros, an Arabian princess from Jordan.

The members of this family were not natural-born Jews. They were Arabs.

They were originally royalty in the land of Edom (Edomites were descendants of Esau).

When the Hasmoneans conquered Edom, they forced all Edomites (including Herod’s birth family) to convert to Judaism.

They also required all the men to be circumcised.

Herod’s Father and Grandfather tended to comply with whomever was in power at the time.

The Herodian family considered themselves Jewish.

Being rich, they managed to become prominent with the Hasmoneans, and after them, with the Romans.

Titus 1:16 (ESV)

“They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.”

2 Timothy 3:1-17 (ESV)

“…For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive… treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit…“…lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people…

Julius Caesar made Antipater (Herod’s father) governor of Judea.

He was to be under the Hasmonean High Priest named Hyrcanus.

Once Antipater was in office, he promoted his first son, Phasael, to be governor over Jerusalem.

Then, Antipater, as the new governor of Judea, also promoted his second son, Herod, as governor over Galilee.

One day, Antipater, was murdered by poison.

(This event may have contributed to Herod the Great’s later paranoia.)

All was not hugs and kisses in the Hasmonean dynasty.

Another Hasmonean man started a revolt against the current group in power, his name was Antigonus.

He and his followers felt it was wrong to let the Herod family (being non-Jews by birth) have any power.  

Many Jews thought Antigonus was the Messiah sent to deliver them from the Romans.

They were tired of the  Herodian collaboration with the Romans. They hated both the current High Priest and the Herodian Family.

Antigonus joined forces with the Iranians to take Jerusalem and destroy the Herodian family.

Herod attempted to rescue his family and the High Priest, Hyrcanus, but it was hopeless.

The priest was tortured and then banished to Babylon.

Herod’s brother, Fasael died in prison (likely by suicide).

And Herod, himself, fled to Rome.

Meanwhile, back in Rome, Julius Caesar was murdered by Brutus and Cassius.

Later, Brutus and Cassius were then overpowered by Mark Antony and Octavian.

Once Herod was in Rome, he, like his father, started rubbing shoulders with the current Emperor, Mark Antony.

He told Antony that, for the “glory of Rome,” he would gladly return the lands of Judea that Antigonus had taken.

So, Mark Antony gave Herod an army to take back to Israel and fight.

Herod prevailed, Antigonus was captured, and taken to Rome to be executed.

 Herod then brought the former Hasmonean High Priest, Hyrcanus, back from his Babylonian exile.

Hyrcanus then rewarded Herod with his own granddaughter, Mariamne (high status indeed!!!).

So, Herod promptly exiled his low status current wife, Doris and their son, Antipater. 

In her heart, Mariamne (like many of the Jews) considered Herod to be a low-class, not truly Jewish, ambitious brute of a man.

However, back then, women had little say as to whom they were given in marriage.

Herod fought this perception of himself all his life. He needed to prove he was a somebody.

Meanwhile, back in Rome, Octavian turned against Mark Antony & Cleopatra.

He then changed his name to Augustus and became the new Caesar of Rome.

Hearing this, Herod hurried back to Rome to pledge his allegiance to Octavian.

He was not very loyal but was a savvy politician.

Now that he was finally the reigning King of Israel, Herod sought to secure his position by killing all his potential detractors.

First, he had his wife’s grandfather (yes, the very Hasmonean High Priest he had brought back from exile) executed.

He executed 45 alleged supporters of Antigonus (the Hasmonean leader) .

These where members of the ruling Jewish council called the Sanhedrin.

Many were heads of rich, Hellenistic families and belonged to a Jewish sect called the Sadducees.

Herod had them put to death and appointed a new Sanhedrin council loyal to him and Rome.

Herod has secured his position.

He seems to have gotten everything he ever wanted.

The history will come to know him as “ Herod The Great.”

Next time we will explore why he and the world around him gave him such an exhausted title.

  • Kerusso on On the Path of Life — Latest News From Aggieland Faith:Sorry Gary, the zip is 77840. Your thoughts are always greatly appreciated. Harold and I have always been hesitant to “pass the plate.” I guess we are concerned that it will turn people off. A box for the pavilion is a good idea for those who want to give. No, I don't know about the tax laws, what do we need? Our daughter and her husband send a monthly donation and my sister once sent a donation instead of an anniversary gift. Thanks for caring, friend. The lady I spoke of did not return as yet, but the ‘tween’ came with a bunch of pre-packaged snacks for the ‘snack table’ and asked if she might also contribute prizes for the ‘prize bag.’ She is like a zealous new convert. On Sunday, her parents came down to the pavilion to meet us. They have been in church in the past but are not in church now. They thanked us for being there. God is good and He will do what He will do!
  • Gary on Announcing Saturday Park Ministry:)
  • Gary on On the Path of Life — Latest News From Aggieland Faith:What is the zip code? Have you considered a donation box? Being that someone asked about giving. It could even go to another ministry or cause if you didnt want it to help what your doing... just a thought..

  • Kerusso on On the Path of Life — Latest News From Aggieland Faith:Sure Gary, Our address is: Harold & Therese Greenberg 301 Holleman Dr. E. #1211 College Station, TX We do not, as yet, have a legal name; therefore, any gifts would be a blessing for the ministry but not tax deductable for the giver. That reminds me; one of the tween girls asked me if she could start giving something to help cover the cost of the snacks (I got goose-bumps) -- how precious is that? I told her she could just bring extra food for the table if she liked. Also, a nice lady wants to tithe to us, but we want her to know that she will be forfeiting her tax deduction if she does.
  • Gary on On the Path of Life — Latest News From Aggieland Faith:Could you give me your mailing address? Does this ministry have a legal name (business)?

  • Kerusso on On the Path of Life — Latest News From Aggieland Faith:Harold and I like to say, “This is highway and byway stuff.” We just set up, preach and see what happens. We have even stopped trying to, “nail it down” by getting all the names and addresses for follow-up. We just spread invitations and preach. We also have packets we send home with the kids. One lady (who found a packet in her home) came last week with her daughter. She asked, “Where do these kids come from… do they just show up?” That’s right, they just “show up” -- how cool is that? May God continue to give us His grace to do this, whether or not there is apparent fruit.
  • Kerusso on Free PowerPoint Sermon: “Draw Near to God” Thanks Gary, Your kind support is truly encouraging. Like any Sunday meeting, I get a week to be ready. I have a gathering phase (thoughts, scriptures, pictures, videos) and then an organizing phase. These PowerPoints are for the bigger kids to adult category. Prior to this, Harold does the little kids with prizes, name tags, felt board bible stories, animated videos, crafts and take home papers. The crafts (and snacks) are a big draw. The people are encouraged to come and go as they please. We say, “When you need to go, just wave so we know you’re not mad.” There is a lot of waving, coming and going. This particular PowerPoint had a blessed anointing. At the end we asked everyone just to call out the name of Jesus two or three times. When we did, both Harold and I felt His presence. We really feel like we are standing on holy ground in that little pavilion.
  • Gary on Free PowerPoint Sermon: “Draw Near to God”I'm impressed and blessed by this power point. Nicely done. ....curious, about how much time does it take to create one of these?
  • Gary on On the Path of Life — Latest News From Aggieland Faith:So cool to see and read this. Fruit of a mission field ( the best kind, rather than transferred growth). Love this :) Gary
  • Kerusso on On the Path of Life — Latest News From Aggieland Faith:Wow, Charity! The young people would love her... What would she be doing... balloons, preaching, teaching, face painting, singing & playing her guitar... ? ? ? What a blessing she and her trusty companion would be.
  • Marcia Lightsey on On the Path of Life — Latest News From Aggieland Faith:Glad to hear the news. Charity was going to drop by Sunday but her party ran too long. Keep up the faithful service!
  • Kerusso on Latest News – Sunday September 4thThanks Sue, Happy birthday to you too young one! Keep us in your prayers as we attempt to "burn out" for God rather than "rust out" as the old-timers used to say. Oops, I guess we are the old-timers now!
  • Susan Bramlette on Latest News – Sunday September 4thThis is really wonderful, Therese. Sounds like you guys are living a full life and ministry in CS. I wish you happy days and good success for Gods Kingdom. A very nice newsletter, also. Happy Birthday, Sis. Love to you and Harold, Sue
  • Kerusso on Outreach News – Four Young Men, Robbers & BikersThanks Gary D, We are very grateful for all your prayers and encouragement. You never know what God will do once you get out there -- what an adventure!
  • Gary D on Outreach News – Four Young Men, Robbers & BikersI love reading about the details of all these things. Praise God.

CHURCH WITHOUT WALLS

 

Tell the World !
Old Testament prophets, New Testament disciples, Jesus and Church history revivalists did it—we can do it too. It’s time to take our church services outdoors where others can see and hear.

 

Are you involved in a ministry of preaching or teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an outdoor setting? We want to hear from you! Please tell us about your ministry and help us inspire others to do the same.

  • Video & Free PPT: The Wise & Foolish Home Builder

    This lesson examines what it means to build a life on Jesus and His teachings. This is the only path to true peace and security. All other foundations crumble into emptiness and destruction. Don’t miss the great song in this lesson entitled “One Big Mess.”

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: Guard Your Heart: The Cain & Abel Story:.

    There are two ways to respond to our sinful nature before God. We may choose to do good works and expect God to accept us gratefully, or we may choose to confess our sins and depend on nothing but His mercy and the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. This lesson compares Cain and Abel with the New Testament story of the self righteous Pharisee and a humble Publican. Self-righteousness in the heart will always lead to contempt for others. Guard your heart!

  • Video & Free PPT: Lesson #17 – A Tale of Two Kings (Pt. 4) Don’t Call it Faith (Selling Phony Piety)

    Like the Pharisees, Herod was a religious hypocrite. He believed himself to be the likely Jewish Messiah. But, like many religious people today, Herod (who was not a Pharisee or a Sadducee) was a fakeasee!! We would do well to examine our own hearts and decern between the things we do that come from authentic relationship with Jesus and those things we do merely for show.

  • Video & Free PPT: Lesson #16 – A Tale of Two Kings pt. 3 (Herod, the Not So Great – Seeking Prestige)

    When the pleasure-seeking Greek empire gave way to the power-grabbing Roman forces, Herod was fully engaged with it all. But, in his heart of hearts, he wanted more than anything to be remembered as a Great Man, a contributor, God’s gift to mankind, a name (dare we say) above every name.

  • Video & Free PPT: Christ in You the Hope of Glory:

    This lesson on the Ten Commandments, while discussing what each commandment means, teaches that we are unable to obey them by any means of our own. We need Jesus Christ living inside us and changing us into His glorious image.

  • Article: Beware When Believers Increase

    Sign-seeking and self-advancement forms of erroneous Christianity have seduced church-goers throughout history. Rather than cite these movements, we will attempt to target some of the core values…more…

  • Video & Free PPT: Jesus Lives in an Upside-Down House

    In this lesson we learn about two kingdoms–the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world. These two kingdoms employ completely different laws. The teachings of this world lead to death and destruction, the kingdom of God offers truth and life. When we begin a new life in Christ, we must learn to walk in the laws and principles of our new citizenship. We are children of God living by the principles of our Father’s Kingdom even while we are still here on Earth. To the world around us, it may seem odd. It may seem strange–it’s an upside-Down Kingdom.

  • Video & Free PPT: Lesson #15 – A Tale of Two Kings pt. 2 (Herod’s Rise – Seeking Power)

    As we continue to look at the life and reign of Herod the Great, it feels like we are reading today’s headline news. It confirms Sir Lord Acton’s quotation about whether religious leaders are as accountable for their bad deeds as political leaders are. He wrote, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority…” We must continually remember, first and foremost, ALL the GLORY BELONGS to the LORD!!!

  • Video & Free PPT: Godliness “Without” Contentment

    Scripture says, “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” Do Christians hinder their own growth, their spiritual gain, by harboring chronic discontent?

  • Video & Free PPT: Lesson #14 – A Tale of Two Kings pt. 1 (Herod’s Greek World – Seeking Pleasure)

    We have been looking at God’s timeline for dealing with mankind and the sin problem. It is interesting to explore the history and culture in which biblical events occurred. The birth and crucifixion of Jesus were the MAIN events. All previous events were designed to prepare mankind for this moment in time. In this lesson, we begin a look at the life and reign of “Herod the Great.” From the background, culture and attitudes of this one man, we can learn everything we need to know about the times in which Jesus was born. It is also interesting to note how similar those times were to the attitudes of today. We recommend the following music to go with your lesson time together:.

  • Article: Let Me be Better Next Time!

    Over the years, we make thouands of choices; some good and some evil. It takes a lifetime and a heart for Jesus to learn the difference and choose the good.

  • Article: “Let there be LIGHT”

    “Let there be Light” Exploring the value of facing our shame and openly confessing our sin .

  • Video & Free PPT: God Calling

    The true cost of embarking on a walk of faith and following Jesus is examined in this lesson. What did it cost Abram and the disciples? What will it cost us? Faith is about what we cling to. We cannot cling to God, unless we let go of everything else.

  • Video & Free PPT: Are Believers Bonkers? – A Lesson in Faith – Hebrews 11

    Like Father Abraham, believers start ventures they could never complete, fight enemies too powerful to defeat, and rely on blessings they cannot see. Men might call this “bonkers,” but God just calls it faith!

  • Video & Free PPT: Dinner with the Pharisees – Lessons on Leadership

    When the Pharisees have Jesus to dinner, they are in for a big night. Here we examine the four lessons Jesus taught them about how to be a true leader of Israel.

  • Video & Free PPT: Our On Time God

    As the song says, “He may not come when you want Him, but he’ll be there right on time!”

  • Video & Free PPT: Jesus Tempted in the Wilderness – Fighting Temptation

    Jesus used verses from the scriptures to resist Satan’s temptations, but is the Bible relevant to modern situations? This lesson uses a Q&A format to present biblical answers to common temptations facing youth today.

  • How J5MQP Works

    Learn how to use the “Just five More Questions Please” in a group study or family learning time.

  • Video & Free PPT: Lesson #4 – Studio 1 – The Drama Begins

    Genesis 1:1 tells us about “The Beginning,” but the bible story doesn’t really start at the beginning. Other verses (later in the Word) tell us of decisions and choices that were made before the “foundations of the world.” How reassuring it is to know that, even before Genesis 1:1, our God had everything under control and knew exactly what He was doing.

  • Video & Free PPT: Hating Emptiness

    This sermon asks two questions: Is it possible to control our own lives and what is the price of trying to do so??

  • Video & Free PPT: Lesson #3 – Why You Just Have to Love the Whole Bible

    Imagine you had a beautiful only son who would one day give his life to save the whole world. You would be so proud of him, you would brag about him and likely keep a well-documented scrapbook about his life! That is what the Old Testament is. It consists of prophecies, pictures, and early manifestations of the coming One – Messiah – Jesus! God’s family scrapbook starring His favored SON!

  • Video & Free PPT: A Strange Land

    Just a whisper of an ungodly suggestion, and the first woman in history was ready to challenge her God’s loving direction and fight for her rights. The relationship between God and man changed forever and paradise became a very strange land. Is the church today listening to similar, gospel altering, suggestions? Is the church itself becoming a strange land?

  • Video & Free PPT: Lesson #13 – Lord of All

    This is is a story about golden crowns, orbs, robes, scepters, swagger sticks and all such accoutrements meant to set one human being above others. Such pompous, presumptuous behavior is an affront to the Heavenly Father, Who has presented His only Son as the one and only true sovereign over all life in the universe. He is the King of Kings. He is Lord of All!!!

  • Video & PPT #12: God’s Timetable, pt. 6 “Stars Shine at Night”

    “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is dawning upon you. Look, darkness covers the earth, and deep darkness covers the peoples, but the Lord will dawn upon you, and his glory will be seen over you. Nations will walk to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” Isaiah 60:1-3GW

  • Video & PPT #2: God’s Mandate to be Bible Teachers for Our Own Children

    The Bible Says: “You must teach them to your children and talk about them when you are at home or out for a walk; at bedtime and the first thing in the morning.” Deut. 6:7 TLB

  • Video & PPT #1 – Introduction – Just Five More Questions Please

    This is a great time to learn the Bible along with your family. It is an opportunity to step-up and become the principal Bible teacher for your own children. “Just Five More Questions Please” will guide your family through the pages of the Bible as you and your group discuss five thought provoking questions during each session.

  • Article: “Verily verily, I say unto you…” Examining the Importance of Sound Doctrine & Not “Pulling Punches.”

    “Verily, verily” means that the speaker is sure of what he/she is about to say. “Pulling-punches” refers to one who strikes with less force than they are able. They want to avoid hurting their opponent. This may have it’s place in the boxing world, but not in ministry.

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon – Roman Centurion: A Soldier Understands God’s Authority

    The Roman soldier understood the nature of Jesus’ authority. As the ruler of the universe, Jesus only needs to speak to sickness, nature, demons or even death and they must obey Him. What happens when God’s authority meets our faith — miracles!

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: The Bells of Christmas

    This PowerPoint sermon tells us why the world needs it’s Christmas bells and who the Christmas bells really are.

  • Free PowerPoint Lesson: Kept by His Power

    Paul was worried. The Thessalonian mobsters were vicious brutes, and these babes in Christ weren’t as studious as the Berean believers. He had only been there to teach them for three Sabbaths. Will they be able to handle the persecution? Will they be susceptible to the false teaching floating around? But the Lord assured Paul and he assured the Thessalonians…“The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” 2 Thess. 3:3 (NIV)

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: On the Side of the Angels pt. 4

    This is part four of a five sermon series intended for Christian adults and ministers.

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon Illustration: The Story of Boy’s Boat

    This PowerPoint is based on the well known sermon illustration about a boy and his boat. In the story, the boy becomes both the creator and redeemer of his beloved possession. In the end, he famously says, “Now you are twice mine, I made you and I bought you.” Remind you of Jesus? Are we not twice His!?

  • Dig We Must!!

    As followers of Christ, we too have embraced a great infrastructure plan. It is God’s plan for a better, stronger, more powerful church to represent Him in these last days. He too would say, “Dig we must to be brighter lights for Christ.”

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: Don’t Be An Esau!

    This sermon answers seven questions: #1 Are the tears of a Christian always Godly? #2 Can there be tears without repentance? #3 Can there be repentance without tears? #4 When we seek a place of repentance, do we always find it? #5 Can I live the Christian life without repentance? #6 What is the result of my living an unrepentant Christian life… and will I care? #7 What does all this mean for you, me and for the church in general?

  • When Children & Adults Study the Bible Together

    This article reminds us of the importance of children in the mind of God. To Him, they are open hearted souls He can draw closer to Himself and even call into ministry, often at a very young age.

  • Video & PPT: Lesson #11 – God’s Timetable, pt. 5 “Wise Men Still Fear Him”

    Video Lesson #11 – God’s Timetable, pt. 5 Wise Men Still Fear Him! Because God’s timetable is so exact, it can lead to a fearful realization that we are drawing closer and closer to some very powerful prophetic events, such as the second coming of Christ. Indeed, those who lived in the centuries before Christ’s first coming also had reason to fear the truths in those prophecies. In this lesson, we learn that, while Jesus is to be feared, He is, at the same time-LOVE ITSELF!

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: Jesus Does Heart Transplants – Zacchaeus Meets Jesus

    What a difference a single encounter with Jesus can have in the heart of a man. In this presentation, Zacchaeus meets Jesus and becomes so transformed he is a different man!

  • Free PowerPoint Series: Joseph is a Picture of Jesus

    The Old Testament is saturated with pictures (types & shadows) of Jesus. The life of Joseph is a perfect example of this truth. In this 5 part series, we explore several ways Joseph foreshadowed Christ.

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: Joseph pt.5 – God Has the Plan:

    “People can make all kinds of plans, but only the Lord’s plan will happen.” Proverbs 19:21 In this sermon, the life of Joseph is used as an example of God’s wisdom exceeding our own. Can we trust that God knows what He is doing?

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: Joseph – The Rejected Became the Cornerstone pt. 4

    Joseph didn’t seem like much when his brothers tried to kill him and then sold him into slavery. Little did they know they would one day be begging him to save their whole family. If we reject Jesus, He will let us, but we are rejecting the only one who can save us from our sins.

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: Joseph Reveals Himself & Forgives pt.3

    It is amazing how many parallels to Christ’s life can be found in the story of Joseph. From the plot on his life to his exaltation and His forgiving of his brethren, Joseph is a picture of Jesus. This lesson looks our forgiving Savior through the life of Joseph.

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: God is with Joseph pt.2 – Prison Could not Hold Him

    “But God was with Joseph.” “But God!” These are the greatest two words in the bible. What Satan means for evil might be a threat to believers, BUT GOD… This sermon compares the rise of Joseph out of prison with the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb – very powerful.

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: Joseph & His Brothers pt.1 – They Hate the Good One:

    “Does not the World hate you? Remember that it first hated me.” John 15:18 Joseph’s life is full of types and shadows of Christ. This first lesson on Joseph’s life demonstrates the persecution that will befall any believer who dares to live Godly. Surely Jesus was hated for His goodness, and, like Joseph, He rose in power. One day, those who persecuted Him will bow before Him.

  • Video & PPT Lesson #10 – God’s Timetable, pt. 4 “Jesus Watches the Father’s Clock”

    In this lesson we learn about the exactness of God’s timetable. Every event leading up to the birth of Christ (and after) is perfectly timed to precise dates that only God and certain O.T. prophets know. The same is true for our lives. God’s timing is in His hands. Lessons #8, #9 & #10 are perfect for the Christmas season.

  • Video Sermon: Don’t Be a Nimrod!

    In this sermon, we examine how human pride can gradually seep into our work for Christ and morph us into Nimrods rather than Abrahams. We are called to emulate the Abrahamic walk. With Jesus as our example and keeping Him in our sights, we can remind ourselves as often as needed, “Don’t Be a Nimrod!”

  • Video & Free PowerPoint Sermon: Lesson # 9 “God’s Timetable pt. 3 – Love is Patient”

    Love is Patient!!! In this lesson we look at the 7th reason why God waited till near the end of His Master Plan (His Timetable) to reveal the main event–The Birth of Jesus. It was love, and love is patient. Lessons #8 & #9 are perfect for the Christmas season.

  • Video Lesson #8 – God’s Timetable, pt. 2 ….(Timing is Everything)

    Timing is Everything!!! In this lesson (and the next), we explore the 7 reasons why God waited till the end of His Master Plan–His Timetable to finally reveal the main event–The Birth of Jesus. Lessons #8 & #9 are perfect for the Christmas season.

  • Video Lesson: What Do You Really Feel?

    This video was a 2011 New Year’s message for my daughter and her family. It encourages believers to be honest with themselves and others about what we are really feeling. We need to let God search our hearts and show us who we really are.

  • Video Lesson: When Christians Get Snippy

    In several scriptures, the Lord urges believers to be merciful as He is merciful. He reminds us that is is not our job to pronounce judgement on mankind–it’s His. Most of us try to live this way, but sometimes, although we refrain from bringing out a guillotine, we can’t resist a little snip with our scissors. The biblical story of David’s experience with Saul brings this truth to life.

  • Video & PPT: Lesson #7 – God’s Timetable, pt. 1 – The Alpha & the Omega (The Scope of the Story)

    God’s amazing plan to restore creation & save mankind begins in Genesis with “The Alpha” (who is Jesus) & ends in Revelation with “The Omega” (also Jesus). The very angels in Heaven & creation itself have an ardent personal interest in His plan… So do we!

  • Video Lesson: Wheat & Chairs

    Living things grow and mature. When a believer is born-again, he starts his Christian experience as a baby feeding on milk. Then he grows into a toddler learning to walk, then an adult having babies himself, etc. To illustrate this, Jesus explained the four stages of wheat growth.

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: Wheat & Chairs

    Living things grow and mature. When a believer is born-again, he starts his Christian experience as a baby feeding on milk. Then he grows into a toddler learning to walk, then an adult having babies himself, etc. To illustrate this, Jesus explained the four stages of wheat growth.

  • Video & PPT Lesson #6 – Times & Seasons

    We have learned that God uses time to both perfect the saints and draw us nearer to Him. In this lesson we learn why God divides time into various periods and seasons.

  • Video/PPT Lesson #5 – Time for Change

    The best description for this lesson comes from the lyrics of a kid’s song: “He’s still working on me. To make me what I ought to be. It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars. The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars. How loving and patient He must be. Cause He’s still workin on me!”

  • Video Lesson: You Owe Me

    When Moses brought Pharaoh God’s message requiring him to set the children of Israel free, his immediate response was arrogant and defiant. He felt strongly that God had no authority over the affairs of his life. He jeered: “Who is the Lord?” “Why should I obey Him?” “Why should I let Israel go?” Pharaoh was no different than any of us. We are all slow to give the Lord His proper place in our lives. In this message, we learn what that place is: We owe Him; we need Him and we belong to Him!

  • Testimony: My Journey

    Harold’s Personal Testimony.

  • Sermon Hidden Things

    A sermon on Christian transparency, based on the story of Achan (in Joshua) and his attempt to retain and conceal the booty he had taken from the Lord’s battle. Although we have been delivered from the world and its values, have we reserved a bit of this bounty and hidden it in our own tent (and at what cost)?

  • Video Sermon: Quarantine – Endure or Engage

    Times of change and difficulty are often God’s opportunity to work in our lives. Let us not waste this season of atypical confinement with our loved ones. These, potentially uncomfortable circumstances have the power to strengthen both us as believers and our families if we choose to gratefully embrace them. This sermon was preached online for “Light On a Hill Church” during a “shelter in place” government mandate, Grapeland, TX 2020 (Palm Sunday).

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: 5 Truths from 7 Sayings

    The 7 sayings of Christ on the cross teach us 5 important lessons on living the Christian life and fulfilling our calling.

  • ALL ABOUT US

    We love to work with believers who have a burden to be trained in the harvesting of God’s ripened fields.

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: Please Don’t “X” My Name

    His name is Jesus. He is not “Xmas.” He is not merely, “The Spirit of Christmas.” Nor is He, “my thoughts & prayers” or, “my faith.” He is the Lord of Lords & King of Kings…and His name is JESUS! Let us glorify & magnify His name this Christmas & every day!

  • Free PowerPoint Sermon: My Wabi-Sabi World – A Message of Thanksgiving Love

    It’s relatively easy to be thankful for financial windfalls, awards, achievements, etc., but what of the things & persons in our lives who are flawed, unimpressive, even annoying? Can we embrace them? Can we love them? Are we thankful for them?
