Zane Hodges Library
Matthew 24:45-51 Parable of the Unfaithful Servant (1975) Zane C. Hodges Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his house? There is no greater incentive to faithful living then the realization that our Lord Jesus Christ may come back at any time. When that realization is lost, very much else may be lost also.

Isaiah 40:1-5 and Luke 3:1-6,10-14 - Preparation for Comfort
Zane Hodges Library
Preparation for Comfort Zane C. Hodges (1980) Isaiah 40:1-5 and Luke 3:1-6, 10-14 “Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God.” What do you really know about the comfort of God? Do you understand God’s comfort in your own life and are you able to share it with other people? Our hearts and lives are not ready for the blessings with which God desires to comfort us until we know something about comforting other people in their need. When God’s people pursue equity, honesty and kindness, then God’s glory can be seen in the midst of His people and other men will also see it there....

Zane Hodges Library
Luke 16:19-31 Pleasure Has an Exit Door Marked Death Zane C. Hodges (1993) What is the most potent, the most addictive, the most intoxicating, and the most dangerous drug known to man? Pleasure. The purpose of the story of the rich man and Lazarus is not to explain why Lazarus and the rich man are where they are, but to show that these two men have traded places. Those who never believe in Jesus Christ for the free gift of eternal life will one day find that their days of pleasure will come to an end. The Word of God is more valuable than a whole lifetime filled with pleasure. The only really...

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...
