A Study of Zechariah 5 and 6 Introduction: My parents often took my sister to Myrtle Beach for a week each summer, and it was the best week of the year. I’d play in the ocean all day, and the festive atmosphere was delightful. Families everywhere. The sound of the waves and trying to catch one to ride in like body surfing. Among the many simply lovely things was looking into the sky and watching the airplanes drag huge billboards or signs through the sky. Sometimes it was an advertisement for a suntanning lotion. Sometimes it was an ad for a restaurant. I was simply amazed at these great adver ..read more

Introduction:  I have a great love for the classic hymns of Western Christianity, and one of my favorites is by the Scottish pastor and hymnist Horatius Bonar. It’s a prayer for God to fill him with a spirit of praise and thanksgiving. It says in part: Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God, In every part with praise, That my whole being may reflect Thy being and Thy ways. Fill every part of me with praise; Let all my being speak Of Thee and of Thy love, O Lord, Poor though I be, and weak. So shall each fear, each fret, each care Be turned into a song, And every winding of the way The echo shal ..read more

A Study of Zechariah 3:8-10 Introduction Nothing helps us like getting into the Bible, and today I want to continue our study from our last time in Zechariah, in chapter 3. Zechariah is the next-to-the-last book in the Old Testament. It has fourteen chapters and the first several chapters describe a series of visions Zechariah had, one after another, on a single night. Zechariah preached alongside his ministry partner, Haggai, to the remnant who had returned to Jerusalem from Babylon to rebuild the Jewish temple and reestablish the Jewish presence in the land. The high priest was a man named J ..read more

When You’re the One Needing to Forgive Yourself A Study of Zechariah 3:1-7 What do you do when you’re the one needing to forgive yourself. Today we’ll begin a study of the remarkable third chapter of Zechariah. If you’re able to be at your Bible, turn there with me, near the end of the Old Testament.  While you’re doing that, let me remind you that as we work our way through the book of Zechariah, we’re finding a lot of prophecies—promises and predictions about the first and second coming of Jesus Christ.

The Wall of Fire Around Us A Study of Zechariah 2 Scripture: Zechariah 2:1-5 2 Then I looked up, and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 I asked, “Where are you going?” He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.” 3 While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him 4 and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it. 5 And I myself will be a wall of fire a ..read more

Overtaken By the Word of God A Study of Zechariah 1:1-6 Introduction Last week we started a study of the strange Old Testament book of Zechariah. It’s easy to find because it’s the next-to-the-last book of the Old Testament. You have Zechariah, Malachi, and then Matthew. So you can find the Gospel of Matthew that opens the New Testament and go backward through Malachi and you’ll come to Zechariah. The name Zechariah means “Yahweh Remembers” and it was a popular name in the Bible. Two dozen men have this name. The two best known are this prophet in the Old Testament and the father of John the B ..read more
