Crossing Jordan

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Sep 8, 2005

Every body has a Jordan to cross, it is something that stands between you and the inheritance God has promised you. The Children of Israel made it across and so can we.

Moses had died and Joshua is in charge, They are at a critical point, they have been here before. (This is where you either breakdown or you breakthrough) This is where you decide if the dream is worth it. It’s one thing to dream it’s another thing to take possession of that dream. Every dreamer ...read more

Drive Out Sin Or It Will Drive You

Contributed by James May on Jun 22, 2003

God’s command to Israel to drive out every idol and every idolater from Canaan has a definite meaning to every Christian. Drive out every sin.

DRIVE OUT SIN OR IT WILL DRIVE YOU! Judges 2:1-22 One of the greatest problems that I see in the church is that fact that too many people follow the same path that Israel followed when they first entered into the Promised Land. They were quick to forget the great miracles of deliverance that God ...read more

Eeyore Or Winnie - Which Will You Be? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 13, 2007

Some of the tribes of Israel had a choice of how they conquered their land. It’s a picture for us too as we seek to overcome the flesh and have victory over the enemy.

One of my favorite stories as a boy was Winnie the Pooh by A A Milne. The characters are so engaging and the stories so fun. Today I want to focus on two characters from Winnie The Pooh that we find in Joshua chapters 16 - 19. The first is Eeyore. To Eeyore, the sky is always black and ...read more

Not One Word Failed

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 24, 2007

Joshua shows us God’s faithfulness and warns us about the dangers of failing to trust him. We are so much like Israel it’s scary.

Who’s word do you put the most trust in? There was a sign in a store that said, “In God we trust, all others pay cash.” As Joshua’s life comes to a close he calls all the people of Israel together for one last charge to encourage them and attempt to solidify their commitment to the Lord. Among ...read more

The Sideways Attack Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 1, 2007

Satan won’t play dead for long as we grow in our maturity for the Lord. Learn how Joshua and Israel was fooled by a sly enemy, and how not to be fooled by Satan.

There is only so much victory in a Christian’s life that Satan will accept without a fight. Know for certain that the stronger you get, the stronger the response from the enemy will be. We need to know this so we can be prepared for his onslaught. It will be both unexpected and sly. For Joshua, ...read more

Reverse Osmosis Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 17, 2007

Joshua’s final words to the nation of Israel is don’t allow the world around them to infiltrate their lives but cling to the Lord. They are sound words for Christians today too.

These two chapters can be summed up very simply: God won a great victory for you - a victory you could never have won on your own - so stick with the Lord and you will be continually blessed. But if you abandon Him you leave the source of blessing and life will be hard. Chapters 23 and 24 contain ...read more

Winding Down Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 24, 2007

The Children of Israel begin the period of the Judges well, but begin to neglect their relationship with God and this leads to defeat, much as the Christian who does not nurture that relationship with exist in the weakened flesh.

When I was in junior high a Catholic priest came to visit my debate class. I know, today a visit to a public school by a religious official would warrant calling out the SWAT team and raising the terror alert to red, but it was a different nation in those days. Anyway, I remember this gentleman ...read more

Amos - The Amateur But Authentic Prophet Series

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jun 16, 2001

Amos was an Amateur but Authentic Prophet who faithfully delivered God’s message to Israel, clashing with the culture and church of his day, with a vital message for the church of all ages.

AMOS - THE AMATEUR BUT AUTHENTIC PROPHET Amos had no intention of becoming a prophet. He’d never attended "the schools of the prophets" that were the conventional launch of a prophetic ministry. In fact he was a sheep breeder and a fig-tree grower who lived about 2,800 years ago in the Judean ...read more

The Way Into The Kingdom Of Heaven

Contributed by Paul George on Nov 13, 2003

Israel expected the Messiah to appear in external pomp and power, not only to free the Jewish nation from the Roman yoke, but to make it have dominion over all its neighbors.

The Way Into The Kingdom of Heaven Mark 1:15 Israel expected the Messiah to appear in external pomp and power, not only to free the Jewish nation from the Roman yoke, but to make it have dominion over all its neighbors, but Jesus tells them, in the prospect of that kingdom approaching, they must ...read more

It's Time To Dig Some Ditches

Contributed by James May on Nov 10, 2002

We must "dig some ditches" in our valley of despair if we want God to fill them with the water of blessings, just like Elisha told the Kings of Israel.

Losing Your Way Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 23, 2007

Like a hiker without a map, compass, or landmark - Israel has gone off the trail and into danger. How can that happen to us and how to get back on the trail to God?

Perspective is a nice thing. When you are on a long hike, like in my Boy Scout days, it was always great to come up on the top of a ridge so you could have a look around and get your bearings and chart the course ahead, knowing that once you plunged down into the forest it’d be hard to get the big ...read more

Testing God!

Contributed by Rod Elmore on Feb 18, 2013

After the northern kingdom of Israel was conquered and taken into exile, the Assyrians brought in foreign people to replace the Samarians. These people mingled with the remaining Israelites and introduced new religious ideas.

1. It is not healthy to test God Mat 4:7, Luke 4:12 Mat 4:7 Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You shall not tempt the LORD yourGod. Luke 4:12 And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, 'you shall not tempt the LORD your God. Luke 16:15 And He said to them, "You are those who ...read more
