     | 223 views

    When culture twists truth, followers of Jesus are called to respond with courage, humility, and conviction—always pointing people back to the one true God. Challenge wrong thinking with God’s truth.

    Introduction – When Truth Gets Twisted Good morning, church. Let me ask you something: Have you ever said something that got completely misunderstood—or maybe twisted into something you never meant? It happens all the time today, doesn’t it? You share a simple post online—something encouraging, or ...read more

    In the previous sermon we talked about Elijah, who was Elisha’s predecessor.

    We learned that Elisha followed Elijah everywhere he went. Elisha followed Elijah from Gilgal to Beth-el, to Jericho, to Jordan.

    What Do We Do When Tragedy Strikes?”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 2, 2017

     | 14,001 views

    This section of God's Word shows us how two people responded to a tragedy. One example comes from a widow whose son died. The other comes from one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament, Elijah.

    At some point it will likely happen to most of us. For each of us it will be different and yet the same. It will leave us with tears in our eyes and pain in our hearts. We call them tragedies—something that seems to turn our lives upside down. Because we live in a world stained by sin these ...read more

     | 1,429 views

    In our text we read of Israel’s greatest general. His name is Joshua. In Joshua 23, Joshua had reached the golden years of his life.

    Look at verse 1. We read, “...Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.” When we consider Joshua’s age, we need to consider TWO things. (1) Look at the phrase, “...stricken in age.” Today it seems many folks are fighting a battle with old age. Illus: One man in Missouri said, “It is rough ...read more
