Sovereignty Within Mayhem Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 12, 2021

Life has its share of difficulty and uncertainty. At times, we all wonder where life will lead and how we will overcome the obstacles we face. Even in the worst of situations, we can take comfort knowing our sovereign Lord is in control.

Sovereignty within Mayhem Esther 6:1-9 Although their hearts are not filled with joy, Mordecai and Esther must have been encouraged somewhat by her meeting with Ahasuerus. He had extended her favor, while granting her request. The banquet with the king and Haman was scheduled, and Esther would now ...read more

What God Has Made Possible

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 4, 2021

Scripture plainly states that salvation is of the LORD (Psalm 3:8; Isaiah 12:2; Hebrews 5:9) and that we have absolutely no power in and of ourselves to say or do otherwise. This teaching is not popular nor welcome today, but must be proclaimed regardless of what we think, say, or do.

What I am about to say will not be welcome in many of the pulpits of America today and certainly will not be offered as the solution to the ills, sins, and woes facing our nation and the world today. All of the talk we have heard from "experts", "scholars", ...read more

Jesus Before Pilate Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 3, 2023

The trials on Jesus’ last earthly day picture the religious & political world’s rejection of Jesus & His claims. He came unto His own and they did not receive Him. Sin’s blindness leads to Jesus’ dying because of who He is, God in human flesh.

LUKE 23: 1–5-7 JESUS BEFORE PILATE [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Mark 15:1–5; Mt. 5:10-12] Jesus’ last day begins with Him being rejected and condemned by the Jewish ruling counsel and then being hauled before Pilate.

Facing Opposition And Overcoming

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 16, 2023

Joseph faced opposition but, as a result, saved his family. David faced opposition from his brother but went ahead and killed Goliath. Nehemiah faced opposition, never lost confidence, and completed the building in record time. We no less will succeed, our confidence in our Lord.

In Genesis 37 we read about Joseph the second youngest of twelve brothers born to Jacob, He was only seventeen years old. His father loved him more than his other sons. One day he made a coat of many colours for Joseph. His brothers hated him and did not speak very kindly to him. Joseph then has ...read more

Why Do Some People Promote Psalm 83 In Our Days As A War? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 20, 2023

Because of the current war in Gaza caused by hateful Islamic terrorists, some people are writing on Psalm 83 saying it is a prophetic Psalm that means a war is coming. I am writing to refute that idea. Some people get agitated in pushing a war but Psalm 83 is not prophecy.

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE PROMOTE PSALM 83 IN OUR DAYS AS A WAR? One of the most uncertain writings in the bible is Psalm 83. I never used to hear anything about this Psalm a few years ago, but now a few people are making reference to it. Some are going as far as to say this is a prophetic event that ...read more

Two Kings (January 5, 2020)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 5, 2023

The Gifts We Bring Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 10, 2023

The gifts we give on Christmas are often given in gaily wrapped paper. The paper conceals what is hidden inside the present. Similarly, the gifts of the wisemen were like wrapping paper concealing special gifts of great value. Do you know what they were?

Humorist Dave Barry wrote about the gifts that were brought by the Wise Men. He suggested that if you examined that story carefully, you’d find that there is an overlooked theological fact in the story. There is no mention of wrapping paper. Why? First, these guys were wise. And second… they were ...read more

Jacobs Dream At Bethal/Pentecost Series
