Abner Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 2, 2022

The only engagement between the rival factions, told at length, is noteworthy since it was preceded by an encounter at Gibeon between 12 chosen men from each side, in which all 24 seem to have perished. Abner was defeated and put to flight in the general engagement that followed.

Abner In the Hebrew Bible, Abner was the cousin of King Saul and the commander-in-chief of his army. His name also appears as “Abiner son of Ner,” whereas the more extended form Abiner means “my father is Ner.” Abner is initially mentioned incidentally in Saul’s history, first appearing as the ...read more

Like An Ox To The Slaughter Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 23, 2022

Wouldn't be nice if the choice we have to make in life where black and white, simple and clear cut ... but they aren't. In Proverbs 7, Solomon uses a 'spicy' way to discussing how Sin can be right up in our face and yet we can't see it ... until it's too late.

Last week we looked at Proverbs 9 in which Solomon contrasts Lady Wisdom with Lady Folly. Solomon attempts to make the choice between Wisdom and Folly as clear and as obvious as possible in the hopes of helping us to make the right choice. Would that it were that simple, amen, as making such an ...read more

Intro We are in the last chapter of Zechariah. Our text today will be Zechariah 14:1-5. This chapter provides details concerning the end-times that we have not yet seen.

The Outward Ripples Of Sin Series

Contributed by Dennis King on Nov 13, 2022

Any Sin of an individual is never isolated to that one person because it affects other people—often in an unseen manner. One thing is fore sure is that individual's sin reaches far and wide into families, friend and even person unknown to you.

Good morning. If you have your Bibles, please open up to John 8:21. As you all know, we have been going through the book of John, and we are almost halfway through it. We have quite a ways to go.

The Way Of Escape Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Aug 20, 2022

If you want to escape sin in times of temptation, realize how much God has blessed you, resist the desire for evil, rely on God for your way of escape. Then take that way of escape and run! Run from the idolatry that will eventually destroy you.

For six months, a farmer near Regensburg, Germany, worked in vain to capture his runaway bull. The bull had escaped in the summer and hid out in the Bavarian woods. The farmer attempted to lasso the animal, but the bull would always slip away into the woods. Once, the farmer tried shooting the ...read more

Why Does Jonah Run From God, And Choose Death Over Life? (Jonah 1:1-16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 25, 2022

A reading of Jonah, that lets the book tell the story at its own pace.

Part of being a pastor or teacher in any church, is having this desire deep inside of you to teach through the book of Jonah. You can't help yourself. It preaches too well; it's too good of a story to ignore. Plus, every pastor knows the OT is hard and scary, but they also know they are ...read more

A Glimpse Of Heaven (Exodus 24:1-25:8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2023

God, and his people, enter into a new covenant, and share a meal. An impossible picture combining worship, and service, and God's presence-- and a glimpse of our future.

Today's passage, for me, has always been one of the most confusing, mysterious, and wonderful passages in all of Exodus (although I feel like God totally opened it up to me this week; it's ridiculous how this just flowed out). It's the kind that leaves you with questions (and the kind ...read more

Joseph In The Pit Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Aug 24, 2020

Joseph’s story, as told in the Bible, is a beautiful illustration of how God’s purpose can be found in our pain.

Joseph in the Pit Genesis 37:12-36 His brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks at Shechem. Israel said to Joseph, “Your brothers, you know, are pasturing the flocks at Shechem. Get ready. I’m sending you to them.” “I’m ready,” Joseph replied. Then Israel said to him, “Go and see how ...read more

A Tested Faith Series

Contributed by Thomas Fortini on Aug 25, 2020

Tests are a big part of life. The most important one is the testing of our faith!

Hebrews 11 (NIV) 17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” 19 Abraham reasoned that God could ...read more

A Gift Worth Waiting For – Part 1

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 26, 2020

Before Jesus Christ came on the scene, both Jew and Gentiles were in bondage to their ceremonies and rituals. “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son…” He was a Gift worth waiting for!

(Gal 4:1 NKJV) Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, (Gal 4:2 NKJV) but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. (Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under ...read more
