    Christ Lifted Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 106 views

    Looking to the crucified Christ does not erase every snake, yet it drains sin’s poison and gives real, resurrecting life.

When you can feel the finish line in your bones… and suddenly the road you’re on dissolves beneath your feet. Israel knew that ...read more

    The bush God chose on Horeb was a worthless, fruitless bush that only stuck you with a thorn if you got close, yet God used it (by His holy presence) to deliver Israel and reveal His power to the world! If He can use that, He can use us!

    ANY OLD BUSH WILL DO Ex. 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look ...read more
