Dead Ends Become Open Doors: Paradox Is The Rule Of Life

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 28, 2021

Bringing Life To Dead Bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 9, 2024

Throughout the Bible, we read about Israel's faithfulness and unfaithfulness to God. Yet, God is not finished with them. He restored Israel as a nation and will make it the centerpiece of the new earth at Christ's return.

The thirty-seventh chapter of Ezekiel presents what on the surface seems to be a story of desolation and ruin that is beyond any hope of restoration by human standards. This chapter describes a tragic episode in the history of Israel as a nation. It paints a bleak picture of its past but also ...read more

Voices From Galilee

Contributed by Clarence Clough on Sep 22, 2008

In The Name Of Jesus

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on May 24, 2021

Today’s text is a real life drama. It is after Jesus had been crucified, raised from the dead and ascended into heaven. The players in this high drama are the disciples of Jesus, a lame man, the people in the temple, the priests, the religious leaders and of course God.

When we come to the scriptures it is important that we open up our hearts and minds to hear from God. As it is His truth and His love story to us. Therefore let us surrender to Him all our emotions and thoughts. Father by your Spirit as we come to today’s text give us fresh eyes to receive a ...read more
