Who Am I? Who Is He? - Luke 8:19-25 - Zane C. Hodges (1989, Coast Bible Church)
Zane Hodges Library
Luke 8:19-25 Who Am I? Who Is He? Zane C. Hodges (October 22, 1989 - Coast Bible Church) A very real spiritual identity crisis often lies at the root of the frustrations and failures that we experience in Christian living. Sometimes under the pressures of life, we forget who Jesus is and what He is like. We forget the greatness of His power, the sufficiency of His strength, the abundance of His mercy and the plenitude of His grace, and Jesus becomes like a stranger. Jesus Christ has everything we could possibly need or want and yet He is always right there right besides us. The...

Luke 22:47-53 - Walking on the Dark Side - Zane C. Hodges
Zane Hodges Library
Luke 22:47-53 Walking on the Darkside Zane C. Hodges Coast Bible Church May 21, 1995 In this passage we see three signs that the powers of darkness are at work. One of the frequent signs, that the powers of darkness are at work, is treachery and betrayal. Another sign, that Satan is involved in his characteristic activity, is when in disregard to the counsel of God, we act recklessly, rashly and foolishly. Insulting and demeaning behavior towards others is also a mark of the work of darkness. #judas #judasbetrayal #judasiscariot #treachery #betrayal

Decision Making and Guidance of God - 1 Cor 10:25-29 and 2 Tim 3:16-17 - Zane C. Hodges
Zane Hodges Library
Decision Making and Guidance from God 1 Corinthians 10:25-29; 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Zane C. Hodges (1972-1975; May 23, 2004) Is there any support in the Bible for the concept that we will receive some sort of divine mystical guidance from God before we make a significant spiritual decision? Is a vague feeling of inner peace, the same as divine guidance? Do the Scriptures encourage us to take a combination of circumstances which may be ambiguous in themselves and translate it into guidance for our lives? Where should we find guidance for our lives today? Do we recognize that the Word of God within...

2 Kings 5:14-27 - That Gun Is Loaded - Zane C. Hodges
Zane Hodges Library
In this sequel to Naaman’s story of leprosy, Naaman learns that the mercy and grace of God are absolutely free. One of the tragedies of the American church is that there are so many churches who teach and believe, that you cannot get into heaven unless you are willing to follow the Lord Jesus Christ or surrender to the lordship of Jesus Christ. People who think that way about the God of the Bible, do not understand the God of the Bible. Elisha’s servant, Gehazi, is afflicted with the disease of greed, which is similar to playing with a loaded gun. The Lord doesn’t need our pennies, but...

James 2:14-26: What Is a Dead Faith? - Zane C. Hodges
Zane Hodges Library
Zane Hodges explains James 2:14-26 by providing an overview of the entire Epistle of James. Zane explains the expression "save your souls" in James 1:21, and demonstrates that "save" in James is about saving your earthly lives not salvation from hell. Zane show the Greek word for "trial" and "temptation" have two meanings, (1) troubles and (2) temptation to do evil. Justification before God by faith versus justification before men by works is explained. Dead faith is when we stop acting on what we believe. In that instance faith becomes like a dead body, a dead faith is unproductive. How do we...
