Something Completely Different

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 17, 2023

When God intervenes to bring life out of death, we have to let him do it his way.

How many of you remember Monty Python? The British comedy group in - I think - the 70's which used to transition between their skits with “And now for something completely different....” And it always was pretty strange.

The Man Who Was Different

Contributed by Grant Adams on May 19, 2021

The world was exceedingly wicked, and every imagination of the heart was only evil continually, but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. As a result of his difference, he was the man of God used to save the world.

Verses 5-7 give us as dark a picture of humanity as it is possible to paint. Verse 8 begins with a small conjunction…but it’s amazing how much meaning is conveyed in such a small conjunction. It means that Noah was not like those who were previously described. The world was exceedingly wicked, and ...read more

Jesus Is At A Different Level Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 16, 2021

If Jesus were an ER physician and had dealt with the chronic condition of the women first, only to allow the twelve-year-old girl to die… He would have been sued for wrongful death.
