Sermons on Biblical Hermeneutics:

He's Still Around

Contributed by Ken Alford on Nov 19, 2001

The book of Genesis starts out recording the activities of God in Creation. Some have called the Biblical account of creation a myth. I call it truth. Anything that might substitute for it, i.e., truth, can itself be considered myth. Skeptics and sc

HE’S STILL AROUND Genesis 1 INTRODUCTION: 1. At some time during the 1960’s, I think it was, a group of skeptics attempted to popularize the idea that God was dead.

Rare Words Yield Worthless Children

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 1, 2009

Eli’s two sons were counted "worthless", and the fault can be traced to "the word of the Lord was rare in those days". Eli did not connect "church" and home for them. We must teach our children Biblical truth or face the consequences.

Nothing delights us any more than the birth of a new baby. Everybody gets sort of squishy and sentimental around a baby. And I suspect that it is not only because they are cute and cuddly and helpless and small, but also it is because they are full of promise. Babies are nothing more than a bundle ...read more

When God Spoke Through An Ass

Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 6, 2007

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 1, 2013

Every believer has three enemies - the world system, the flesh, and the Devil. If we don't wake-up, heed and act on Biblical warnings, we will not only be spent but also taken down. God's truth is the best protection against Satan's lies.
