    Jesus sees not merely what we are, but what we can be. Peter was transformed from an unstable, weak, and impetuous man to a man who was rock solid for Christ.

    Simon The Stone Text: John 1: 41-42 Intro: Simon Peter is one of my favorite characters in the Bible. He fills its pages with life and energy. Though he was often reckless and impetuous, he was always sincere. Simon was a man who was passionate about everything he did. Later in his ...read more

    What We Don’t See?

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Sep 14, 2011
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,747 views

    The servant of the prophet Elisha never saw the encamping angels that were there to protect, as a result the sermon is centralized on the concept of things we don’t see when we need protection.

    Surrounded by an army, Elisha’s servant cried, "What shall we do?" But when Elisha prayed, the servant could suddenly see that God’s forces, invisible to everyone else, far outnumbered the enemy. The story offers a rare glimpse of the "invisible world" of supernatural forces. God has resources to ...read more

    Reasons For Judgment

     | 2,555 views

    The people of Edom may have thought, "we have done nothing wrong"; however, they had. God uses Obadiah to give them the reasons they would be judged harshly for the wrongs they had done.

    In our lesson tonight Obadiah gives the reasons why Edom would be judged so severely by God. 10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, This is a very clear statement of why Edom is being judged by God. Someone may try to argue that Edom did not do violence against Israel. They were ...read more

    The Children of Israel begin the period of the Judges well, but begin to neglect their relationship with God and this leads to defeat, much as the Christian who does not nurture that relationship with exist in the weakened flesh.

    When I was in junior high a Catholic priest came to visit my debate class.

    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 14 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 14, 2011
     | 4,218 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 14 1*. And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer ...read more

    So far, we have studied the breastplate of righteousness that insures that we are in right standing with God. This piece of armor protects us from the accusations of Satan of being apart from God. We looked at the shoes of peace that gives us a firm foundation.

     | 54,489 views

    God is holy, and not to be trifled with. We wisely enter His presence with the awareness that He is a consuming fire.

    “Death and the Dance: David, Uzzah, and the Ark”, II Samuel 6 This chapter qualifies as one of the difficult passages of Scripture. We are taken aback at the harsh action of God, in what we might regard as a merciless act of justice. On the surface, we see Uzzah doing what appears as a ...read more
