Sun And Moon Stand Still

I want to read you a story today, a story in the life of Israel and Joshua, their leader. We will be in Joshua 10:1-14. But before we go there, I want us to read a couple of texts that are important to this story. Please stand in honor of this reading:

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Some people think that the Old Testament was written about a different God than the New Testament. Some Christians think that the Old Testament has no purpose now that we have the New Testament. They couldn’t be further wrong. Our Lord Jesus said:

John 5:39 (KJV) SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and THEY ARE THEY WHICH TESTIFY OF ME.

What was “THE SCRIPTURES” when Jesus said this? There was no New Testament, and no established Church until after the Day of Pentecost. When Jesus said “SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES”, He was talking about the Old Testament. Moses wrote about Jesus. Our Lord said:

John 5:46 (KJV) had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me.

Moses wrote of Jesus. Jesus foreshadowed in every animal sacrifice, every feast, every thing that God did through Israel. Moses wrote of Abraham, and Jesus said to the Pharisees:

John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad…. Continue reading →

This Little Light Of Whose?

Posted on April 22, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

The word “PARABLE”, the Greek parabole, means “to lay alongside”. When Jesus used parables He would take a spiritual truth and lay it alongside a physical truth that one was familiar with. Many of the parables that Jesus spoke were full stories, with characters and a narrative. But some of Jesus’ parables were shorter and without a storyline. They used parabolic language – like a mini-parable.

Full parables had a story line. In mini parables,
YOU are the storyline!

That’s what we’re looking at tonight. A mini-parable, or a parabolic saying. This mini-parable comes at the first recorded Sermon Jesus ever preached, the Sermon on the Mount. This is the official beginning of Jesus’ ministry, and Jesus – bringing in a new creation through a new covenant – uses two things that were at the creation of the world. He uses salt and light.

Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV) YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 YE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

There are two things the world must have if it is to live. The world MUST have SALT and LIGHT. Continue reading →

God expected this type of love from His followers in the Old Testament, and expects it of us even today. DO LOVE. Love God with all you have, both emotionally and practically. And DO GOOD to those who do bad to you. Remember our Lord’s example. Imitate Jesus. Imitate God your Father, if He is indeed your Father. DO GOOD. Continue reading →

A Borrowed Sermon

Posted on November 26, 2018 by bibleteacherorg

Notice how Solomon prioritizes what is most important. Though He is the “son of David” and therefore the “king in Jerusalem”, what he considers most important is that he is “preaching”. People call me “preacher”, and I am. I am called to preach the Word of God, and I cherish this calling. But every Christian is a preacher by how they live their lives. Continue reading →
