Review: The Journey of God
The Journey of God The Journey of God, J. D. Lyonhart. IVP Academic (ISBN: 9781514009246) 2025. Summary: A re-telling of the Christian story in six movements, exploring questions seekers, skeptic, and believers ask. “Tell me a story.” Isn’t that often the longing behind our trips to the bookstore. I wonder, though, if that is our thought when we attempt to read the Bible. Do we open the Bible…
Amos
Amos, considered a Minor Prophet, was a shepherd whom God used to denounce social and religious corruption. During this time Israel was enjoying peace and economic prosperity. This blessing had caused many to become selfish and materialistic. During this prosperous time there was over-taxation and land-grabbing. There was cruelty and indifference towards the poor. They had become complacent and…

Philippians
There is a joke that when Paul was traveling from place to place his companions would ask; “Hey Paul, do you think we’ll be able to find out what the accommodations at the local hotel are like this time?” No hotel this time either, Paul is writing this four short chaptered book from his Roman prison cell. We need to remember this was a letter, there were no chapters or verses, and for certain…

Daniel Part 2
We are not done with the reign of Darius but chapter seven backtracks and chronologically it comes before chapter five. The first six chapters of Daniel present history; the last six chapters are visions relating mainly to the future, hence the prelude to Revelation. In this chapter Daniel is said to be in his late sixties and Belshazzar is in his first year as king. This time Daniel isn’t…

Even though the book of Daniel is in the Old Testament and written in approximately 536 B.C It has been called the Prelude to Revelations. Daniel was taken into captivity as a teen and he writes not only about what happens but also future events that are still to take place. It is assumed that Daniel had been around 90 years old when he penned this book. As you read through Daniel you will…

Genesis Overview – part 1
Genesis Overview – part 1
Genesis may be the first book you come to when you open up your Bible, but did you know that Job was actually written approximately five hundred years before, around the time Joseph (from chapters 37:1 through 50:26) was dying? Genesis was written by Moses, when he was between 76 and 116 years old. Not only did he write Genesis, but he also wrote Exodus, Leviticus, Number and most of Deuteronomy…

The Kingdom's King
February 5th 2012, Heathcote Engadine Baptist Church, 6:30pm
Preacher: Ian Wooley, Senior Pastor
Scripture: Psalm 2 and biblical overview (topical sermon)
What I learnt:
God is King; He was there at the beginning, thus He is the undisputed King. At Creation, God established patterns and rules for His Kingdom (Gen 2:16-17), and evoked the universal rule of obeying God.
God continues to bring salvation and deliverance through one man at a time. To Adam He promised that his offspring would crush Satan. He promised Abraham a people, a land, and a blessing (Genesis 15). He promised David that his offspring would rule forever. These men were shadows of Christ, the Son of Adam and the Son of God - God’s people were shown a prophecy of one man, the Messiah: He would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2) of a virgin birth (Isaiah 9). He would suffer (Isaiah 53), but God would prevail (Daniel 7) and He would make a new, forever covenant (Jeremiah 32-33).
God will ultimately triumph. Only King Jesus can deliver God’s promises of salvation and eternal life – are you a citizen of God’s Kingdom? Jesus is King, and all will bow before Him one day whether they choose to or not.
LORD Jesus, Thank You that You are King. Your Kingdom is eternal and from everlasting to everlasting - I am a moment, and You are forever. Oh that I may worship You as King all the days of my life! What joy, what privilege, what honor. Thank You King Jesus, Amen.
