    Although we now do not understand things like the sacrifice of the men and women who have fallen for our country’s freedom; we will one day understand many things more clearly and definitively.

    Studies In Genesis: The Decendants Of Seth Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2011
     | 5,468 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. This study was done such a long time ago I am not sure what other sources was used but I thought it was interesting for the studies ...read more

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 25, 2011
    based on 141 ratings
     | 61,775 views

    Why does Genesis tell us about Noah sending out a Raven and a Dove to see if the waters had receded from the face of the earth? Why bother? They're just a couple of insignificant birds... or are they?

    OPEN: An old Aztec legend tells of a man named Tapi who was a very pious man. The legend says that the creator told Tapi to build a boat that he would live in. He was told that he should take his wife, a pair of every animal that was alive into this boat. Naturally everyone thought he was crazy. ...read more

     | 5,341 views

    While we wait for Jesus to return, our task is to cooperate with God in his transforming work within us, to listen and obey. And it’s to continue to share the gospel with those around us; to share the glory of God with them.

    One of the things I love about travel is going to places that have a history behind them. To visit Rome, to see the Coliseum or the Roman Forum, to walk on paving stones that are 2000 years old, that maybe even Paul walked on when he was brought before Caesar. Last year I preached in a church that ...read more

    John shows us another way we can analyze if we or others in the church are doing well in our Christian walk - love.

    This is a true story. Paul and William decided that they really wanted to become godly men. So they started meeting with one another to pray and encourage one another; they even set goals for themselves and their behavior, and were accountable to each other. At one point Paul decided that he ...read more

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 3, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,602 views

    It is good to have goals, but goals will disappoint us if we leave God out of them. There is no point in making plans as though God did not exist, because the future is in His hands. That man walks most safely who has the least confidence in himself.

    Opening illustration: Fortuneteller, gazing into crystal ball, to frog: You are going to meet a beautiful young woman. From the moment she sets eyes on you she will have an insatiable desire to know all about you. She will be compelled to get close to you - you’ll fascinate her." Frog: "Where am I? ...read more

    When Samson’s hair was cut he lost his power, the Spirit of God left him. However when his hair grew back and he returned to God his power came back. If we fail God and return our spiritual power returns.

    I FEEL LIKE MY HAIR IS GROWING BACK Text: Judges 16:22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. a. Hair by definition is any of the cylindrical, keratinized, often pigmented filaments characteristically growing from the epidermis of a mammal. b. A growth of such ...read more

    The erosion of values always runs downhill.

    I think I need to begin by explaining the title of today’s sermon. Back in 1992 William Jefferson Clinton’s campaign slogan was, “It’s the economy, stupid.” His campaign manager, James Carville, formulated the saying to keep the Clinton campaign focused on an issue that was sure to beat George ...read more

    Don’t ask God to change the situation, ask God to give you the courage to make it through the situation AND ask for the Holy Spirit to work through you.

    I have a friend who started this church in the lower 48 that was so successful that they had a difficult time finding a place to meet for Sunday services. They had so many people showing up on Sunday they were literally standing in the parking lot waiting for a seat in the next service. The church ...read more

    Our legacy is not in monuments, but in a spiritual and relational community, one which is ultimately redemptive. Washington Plaza Baptist Church, Reston, VA

    The older I become the more interested I am in those who have gone before me. Before I join my ancestors out there, I’d like to know more about them.
