"And Jacob Was Left Alone..." By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Jun 21, 2005

Abraham Lincoln said, "My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure." Jacob knew this feeling so well. Let’s examine it together!

All of us at some time or another struggle with decision(s). The difficult part is when we struggle with ourselves and greater still with God! Tug of war is what it feels like. On one hand God says...and we respond..O.K. but! That’s where the trouble begins and before we know it we are wrestling ...read more

Once, For All!

Contributed by David Richardson on Jul 15, 2005

Paul has some thought provoking and compelling words in Romans six. Words that are designed to cut to the heart of the listener. Words that are well chosen to solicit a quick response from the heart of the Christian and the backslider.

Title: Once, for all! Scripture: Romans 6:9-14 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, count yourselves ...read more

Stripping Our Power So We Can See God's Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 8, 2005

God led Israel straight into a trap and then watched their reaction. He does that to us sometimes as well - to let us know whether we trust Him and to show us His great power.

In a way, the final victory over Pharaoh was not the Passover. Yes, that’s what got him to relent and say the people could go - but as we’re going to see this time - Pharaoh once again changes his mind and goes out after the children of Israel. But what we’re going to see also is God purposefully ...read more

Moses The Vision Caster Series

Contributed by Brent Baker on Oct 18, 2005

I believe leaders sometime have a hard time casting a vision to their congregation. We are not alone in this. Moses did as well, but he teaches us some important lessons in vision casting.

Heaven Homecoming Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 15, 2006

If you’ve ever wondered what heaven is like, we get one of our most complete looks at it in the final chapters of Revelation. We’ll also see heaven and hell compared.

When you think of heaven, what comes to your mind? The stereotypical view is of white puffy clouds, with us dressed in white robes with wings, carrying harps and just lazing around all day with nothing to do. Is that heaven? No. Chapters 21 and 22 of Revelation give us about as much information as ...read more
