Yahweh Takes On The Gods Of Egypt Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 5, 2006

False religion is often an attempt to control the fears and uncertainties of life. But, whether we approve of the way He runs the universe or not, only Yahweh is Sovereign.

Yahweh Takes On the Gods of Egypt (Exodus 7:14-8:32) (note: to project photos of the various Egyptian gods, do a search on the itnernet; go to the site for a better resolution picture) 1.

SATAN’S FISHING TRIP ALLAN H. KIRCHER www.planttheseedministries.org I have Satan’s name up here, by no means to glorify him, but we do need to recognize as Christians that he is our Lord and Savior’s arch enemy.

Pride And Arrogance Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Feb 21, 2011

God desires everyone to believe in the truth but will humble everyone, including Christians, who has selfish pride and arrogance.

We’ve been studying the Book of Daniel and we are now in Chapter 4. We noted that God’s Chosen People, the Israelites, were taken captive by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar. God tells us that He allowed the captivity because of the sins of Israel. Now because God’s People became slaves ...read more

Eat Flesh? Drink Blood? Series

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Sep 27, 2011

This message is the fourth in a series that deals with some of the difficult sayings of Jesus. This message examines the meaning behind Jesus saying to eat His flesh and drink His blood.

The majority of us are grossed out by what this statement suggests. These are the actions that are usually confined to a horror movie. Cannibals eat flesh and vampires drink blood. These are not things that normal people do. If Jesus is meaning this literally, we would all say, “That’s a little bit ...read more

Silver And Gold Have I Much- But What Good Does It Do Me? Series

Contributed by David Wilson on Mar 23, 2011

God's bleak message of certain judgment continues as Ezekiel describes the basis for judgement, the certainty of judgment, and the completeness of this judgment. A bleak, doom and gloom text reminds us of the holiness of God.

Ezekiel’s proclamation from the Lord in chapter 7 is one of the strongest prophetic messages ever offered. It is a message of sure and certain judgment that is no longer something that is coming—but something that has arrived. This message is something of a summary of the message of ...read more

Leaving A Legacy Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 20, 2019

The people returned to the sin of intermarriages with the foreigners. Nehemiah rebuked and corrected them. We see the need to guard our faith and pass on our faith. Nehemiah left a lasting legacy.

As mentioned, the final chapter of Nehemiah did not end as most would have liked, as in fairy tales: “And the Israelites lived happily ever after.” • On his return to Jerusalem, Nehemiah was not only saddened, but for most parts, very angry at seeing his people returning to their old sinful ...read more

Kingdom Keys - Ezra Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on May 22, 2023

To fully restore our connection to God, we must become aware of our sins, admit them to another and act in a way which totally removes the sin and its tempters from our presence quickly. Any compromise robs us of a true connection to our God.

So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

Spiritual Discernment

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2016

Spiritual discernment seems to be something lacking in many of the people in America who identify themselves as Christians. They're decisions seem to be the same as those of their unsaved neighbors. Should this be so? What does the Bible say?

Discernment - The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment. Keen insight and good judgment … Illustration: Imagine that you walk into a bank and you see that all of the customers are laying on the floor and the only person standing is a guy with a ski mask over his face ...read more

The Time At Hand

Contributed by Jack Woodard on Jun 5, 2015

As the Apostle Paul wrote his last letter before going Home to Glory, he summed up his autobiography in the three short clauses found in verse 8. They tell us of the 3 Times that were at hand in Paul's life. The same is true for each of us.
