    This ’outside the box’ Mother’s Day sermon honors moms, but it also speaks of Father God and Israel, and we can apply some great truths to mothering in America today, which is one of the greatest challenges of all of human history.

    We'll look at the life of Samuel as a judge of Israel. We'll look at a six step process that he used to bring the nation of Isreal bac to God; a process that each of us can use as well.

    At a 1999 conference in Houston, speaker Marti Ensign, a missionary to Africa, told of bringing some African pastors to the United States for a big meeting. During their free time, these Africans wanted to go shopping. Even though they were in a small town, Marti knew there was a chance someone ...read more

    Caricature Or Reality (Part 2)

    Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 23, 2017
     | 4,983 views

    God is holy, not a commodity. Even though Joy is appropriate and even instructed, God must be approached with reverence before joy

    Last week we saw that the number one characteristic of God is that he is holy. We need to understand this about God so we can make sure we are worshipping him and not some caricature of him we have made up in our mind. Do you know what a caricature is? We usually think of it as a picture, such as ...read more

    Whomever, or whatever, we choose as our god will either prop us up, or need to be propped up.

    1 SAMUEL 5:1-5 IS YOUR GOD WOBBLY? “When the Philistines captured the ark of God, they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

    Thursday After Epiphany 2018 Reformation/Revolution The action of the Israelites and the response of the Philistines we have heard proclaimed from the first book of Samuel help us see the two primitive and wrong conceptions of the divine.

    In Eli's day, Israel was in a low spiritual state. When they lost a battle with the Philistines, Instead of repenting and reentering the battle with God's favor, they used the Ark of the Covenant as a magical box to defeat their enemy. Didn't work!!!

    Richard Tow 4.21.18 Background: Our story this morning begins with two children who grew up in a pastor’s home. These boys were born into a long line of preachers. They grew up hearing about the Lord every day of their lives. In fact, when they were grown they too went into full-time ministry. The ...read more

    At a place called Ebenezer, Israel lost 34,000 men and their faith in God. After 20 years of misery, they faced the same battlefield and the same enemy. But this time they had victory. Did God want them defeated the first time? No! And God never meant for YOU to lose either!

    God cannot be defeated but we lose when we allow other gods to win in our lives.

    We noted last week that no matter what happens in this world, God will always be God but He is always calling people back to Himself. God loves people and He disciplines those He loves! In 1 Samuel 4 we noted how God allowed the Philistines to defeat Israel, because He was trying to teach them a ...read more

    One really does not believe in God when they put God to a test!

    We noted last week from Chapter 5 of 1 Samuel that God caused disease and death among the Philistines because they mocked God using the Ark of the Covenant which held the 10 Commandments. The Philistines thought that their god was stronger than the One and Only God; they tried to figure out a way ...read more
