What happened at Jericho? How does Jericho apply to us today.
There it is,” exclaimed Joshua, “there is the land of milk and honey just as God promised.” The Hebrews were bunched up around Joshua staring with wonder, and a bit of fright, not at the Promised Land, but at the large obstacle standing in the way. Jericho! To be fair it was not something ...read more
Scripture: Joshua 1:1-9
Denomination: Adventist
Are we just some accident? Some random lump of cells? Or are we fearfully and wonderfully made by a Divine, Loving Creator?
There is a question that is being hotly debated right now that’s pretty much dominating the news and threatening to perhaps tear our country apart and the debate is scary and uncomfortable but maybe it’s a good thing because we’re wrestling with an important question … perhaps the most important ...read more

Joshua is systematically killing off the nephilim, so that God's people can inherit the land, and have true "rest."
If you walk up to a random Christian in church, and ask them what the book of Joshua is about, they will tell you it's about the conquest of the land God promised Israel. But consider this: we are almost through Joshua 10, and at this point in the book, Joshua has conquered three cities: ...read more
Scripture: Joshua 10:29-43, Joshua 11:1-23, Deuteronomy 25:17-19, Hebrews 4:1-11
King David had a lot of problems and so do we. Many times there are things we can do to correct the problems we encounter. For example:
(1) SOME HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS This is a wonderful age in which we live. We hear of some folks who have vision problems. They go to the doctor for some out-patient surgery, and in a few weeks they have 20-20 vision again. Illus: I heard about an elderly retired gentleman that had severe hearing ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 34:1-4
Denomination: Baptist
Joshua is old, and he can't do all that he wants to for God (and there's a lot left to do). God reassures him, "I got this. I'll finish the job."
This is a great passage. Let me try, up front, to persuade you about this. It's super helpful for understanding Joshua as a whole. There's hints scattered throughout this section about the Nephilim, if you're into that sort of thing. And the passage points us to God, and his ...read more
Scripture: Joshua 13:1-22, Philippians 1:6, Joshua 12:1-6
People have all kinds of hobbies. Some people collect stamps, knives, guns, butterflies, etc.
Illus: A man in Columbia, S. C., has spent a small fortune collecting antique car replicas. You cannot help noticing how each detail of each model is exactly in scale to the original cars they represent. In every detail they look just like the original cars. You may wonder, what does that ...read more
Scripture: Acts 2:1-16
We all need encouragement and encouragement is one of the most important things we can do for each other. Let's learn to encourage each other by our faithful lives, our presence, and our words.

Daniel chose to put all his weight on the side of loyalty to God, and that is why he is a classic example of an overwhelming minority.
Larry Love, an associate of Billy Graham, saw an unusual and striking piece of advertising in a London railway station. It pictured a copy of a very exclusive and expensive magazine. Beneath the picture were the words, "Read by an overwhelming minority." It is a catchy and clever idea ...read more
Scripture: Daniel 1:1-16
I know it is a popular myth that the Christian is supposed to experience only the good ones of love, joy, and peace, but unfortunately the Word of God will not support this myth. God's people in the Bible felt every feeling there is to be felt.
Three Frenchmen have come to the rescue of fathers who have no pleasure in trying to discover if their baby needs a diaper change. They have invented a little electronic device that fits right into the infant's diaper. As soon as there is any contact with moisture it breaks out with a bubbly ...read more
Scripture: Genesis 42:18-38
Many an average American boy or girl will be raised up in the school rooms of public education. I would like to share some thoughts from great minds on education itself, public education, and wisdom. I'd also like to share my personal experiences in the public education system.
“The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” ? Martin Luther King Jr. Many ...read more
Scripture: Proverbs 22:6

Thank God everyday that the President and Congress cannot tell any American how they are to worship, and what they are to believe. This is one of the greatest freedoms of life, and most people in history have never enjoyed it.
An insurance adjuster tells of a life policy taken out in the name of Abraham Brown in a small southern town. For five years the insurance company received the premiums when they were due. Then all of a sudden they stopped without warning. The company sent several notices and then finally there ...read more
Scripture: Titus 1:15-16
Are things like horoscopes and astrology ok? Are things like Ouija boards and holding séances just harmless fun? What does God think about psychics and fortune tellers? Let's find out.
PSYCHIC NOT-LINE I watched a crime show recently that featured a palm reader who was taking advantage of people and manipulating them out of their money. In one case she ended up getting over a million dollars from this elderly woman. It's sad. But unfortunately it's not uncommon for ...read more

The term bouncing back comes from having suffered through something but not letting it stop you from continuing on. There are many great bounce back stories in the bible. Today we'll look at the example of Joseph, son of Jacob.
BOUNCING BACK The term bouncing back comes from having suffered through something but not letting it stop you from continuing on. When a boxer has an undefeated streak then suffers his first loss it can be devastating. He's no longer invincible. How will he handle it? Some come back and go on ...read more

Philippians Part 15, Chapter 3:4-3:12 I. Confidence in Flesh (v. 3:4-) A. Paul was a descendant of the tribe of Benjamin. Benjamin and Joseph were the sons of the favored wife Rachel. Paul was not of Ishmael (Abraham & Hagar) nor of Esau (Isaac & Rebekah). The first king, Saul, was ...read more

In Part 2 of this series we look at the life of Abraham and how in his old age when God told him to step out into the darkness - the unknown - he did not hesitate or question God. He was surely comfortable in the dark.
Being Comfortable In The Dark Part 2 Scripture: Proverbs 3:1-6; Genesis 12:1-4; Romans 4:1-4; Last month I preached a sermon to you titled “Being Comfortable in the Dark.” In that message I told you that if we are to walk in faith, we had to get very comfortable walking with God not knowing ...read more
