Sermons on Battle Lines:

First Judge Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 16, 2022

Othniel delivered God’s people through battle and there was peace for God’s people for forty years. Don’t get in the trap that repeats itself twelve times through the book of Judges with sin, punishment, repentance and deliverance. Don’t forget all the good things the Lord has done for you.

The title First Judge is taken from the movie First Knight. The First Knight story of Camelot. Lancelot is the courageous sword fighter. He runs the gauntlet and wins a kiss from Guinevere, the bride to be of King Arthur. Then Lancelot after another daring deed saves the life of Guinevere and lands ...read more

Sadness In God’s Heart

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 8, 2023

God is sad looking at our lives. We relax or hide when we are supposed to go to battle. When we need to hide, we go to war. We are off season and out of season with God. We preach when we have to pray. We pray when we have to preach.

Please Stop Talking Nonsense About Gog/Magog - November 2023 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 3, 2023

In these days the words Gog/Magog crop up in reference to the current war against Hamas. This Gog war will definitely happen, but there is debate about the timing. This article shows it can be only at one specific time. I have more detailed posts in the Eschatology Series.

Just Like Us (Part Six) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 25, 2019

Last week we looked at Joshua and David. Joshua defeated Jericho but when he lost a battle to Ai his response was extreme. David was a man after God's own heart yet he committed adultery and had her husband killed. Today we'll look at Peter and see how he was just like us.

JUST LIKE US (part six) Joshua was the successor to Moses. No one in the entire nation of Israel believed they could conquer Canaan except him and Caleb. When he was leading them into battle against Jericho, God told him to march around the city seven times and blow the trumpets and the wall would ...read more
