    Joshua was told to "take his shoes off," he was standing on holy ground. Once again, God stands with a drawn sword, offering leadership. Will America bow down to the God of the Bible?

    Text: Joshua 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; ...read more

    Building An Altar Of Worship Series

    based on 47 ratings
     | 34,792 views

    God is looking for a people who will build an altar of worship. It is that concept that some captured my attention. In particular the place that the altar plays in Old Testament worship, and it’s accompanying challenge to you and I.

    Egypt is synonymous of our world and it’s accompanying bondage. God’s desire for Israel was that they would be free from Egypt to worship him without constrain, that’s the story of Exodus. The first 2 commandments – EXODUS 20:1-6 Worship is that central affirmation of God in our lives, above ...read more

    David knew what it meant to be a shepherd. David knew what it meant to be shepherded. During times of loss, we too can find God as our shepherd.

    Read Psalm 23 David wrote this Psalm (song). He was a shepherd as a youngster growing up. Came from a large family of which he was one of the youngest boys, hence the job taking care of the sheep. Story is told of how David’s sheep were threatened on two occasions by a bear and a lion.

    Things around us change, business come and go, places from our childhood make way for the progress of tomorrow, it seems the only constant in life is change. It is good to know that while everything around us may change there is a constant that remains

    In John 3:1-3 we find: - Nicodemus coming to Jesus in the dark of night. - He is a Pharisee - Is this a covert visit? Or is he using the secrecy of the night to provide him opportunity to be alone with the master? - Notice his question in vs. 2 “Rabbi, we know…” - Nicodemus lesson begins in vs. 3 ...read more

    This thought came to me- “It’s nice to think that as I teach or preach that every person will get it and grow together, but that wasn’t Jesus’ way, nor the apostles way. Why would we be any different?”

    Doing Life Together James 1:22NKJ There is the story of William Pitt, 1759-1806, British statesman and Prime Minister from 1783-1801, who once sought to expedite a crucial agreement in Parliament for the movement of the British fleet to defend against the French. The ...read more

    Learn To Wait

    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,271 views

    God has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what He has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11. Life is not a race, jockeying for fist place. Yet it is a deliberate journey.

    There is a right time for everything. In order for things to work the way God has intended, we must sometimes wait. As a baby is being formed in the mother’s womb, it takes time to perfect this God given creation. As a baby approaches his/her toddler years the skeletal system and muscles are ...read more
