You Can't Get There From Here Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 10, 2016

Joshua provides a bridge between Israel's unsettled wanderings and the establishment of a new nation. The children of Israel were shaken by the death of Moses, and were filled with uncertainty about their future...yet God hadn't left.

Mainers like to say when giving directions, “You can't get there from here”...or more accurately, “You can't get they-ahh from hee-yahh.” The children of Israel must have thought that, journeying through the wilderness to the promised land. It had been a long, grueling ...read more

The Faith Factor - Go Get Your Blessing! Series

Psalm 5 - Get The Inside Right First Series

Contributed by Rob De Jongh on Mar 15, 2021

God wants us to be right from within, and no amount of flattery on the outside will cover a rotten inside. We need to work on our own inner thoughts and desires first, so that the outward words and actions flow naturally from within.

In Psalm 5, David says this: "For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue." (Psa 5:9) Notice here that there are people who can flatter you and seem great on the outside, but ...read more

Getting Faith By Fasting Day-Nine Devotional Series

Contributed by Elmer Towns on Feb 27, 2026

What makes faith great; it’s not the strength of your faith, it’s the strength of the God in whom you put your faith.

The Daniel Fast is a faith vow. Daniel began his 10-day fast with a statement of faith that God would hear and answer. In Mark 11:22, Jesus exhorts us to, “have faith in God.” Now faith can be nebulous because it’s hard to measure. The faith of our hearts shows strong belief in God, strong ...read more

Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 6, 2020

At times, I wish more of the decisions of life were like the decision we made at salvation. A one-time thing. But it seems every day we are called on to make decisions, we just made the day before.
