Jacob- Approaching The Finish Line Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 2, 2022

Jacob had relocated to Egypt thanks to all Joseph had done. While there Jacob realized he was approaching the finish line for his earthly journey. He also did something very special for two of his grandsons.

Introduction: At this stage of his life, Jacob was 130 years of age, and had relocated to Egypt thanks to his son Joseph. What Jacob may have thought of this, that his son was the second most powerful man in Egypt and maybe one of the most influential in that part of the world, is never known. But ...read more

Love Your Enemies

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 7, 2022

Christ said to love your enemies. That takes His grace and the power of the Holy Spirit to do because it is not in our nature.

It is easy to see that Christians are surrounded by enemies on nearly every side. The irony is that while so-called Christians persecuted the Jews for centuries it is the Israelis who are our biggest friends. True, some of the Ultra-Orthodox may not think kindly of us, but other Jews see us as ...read more

Owned

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

Candidates For God's Kingdom

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 14, 2022

In the beatitudes Jesus turns the values of our world upside down.

As we work our way through Luke’s Gospel, we have looked at a string of stories that explain why it was that such a good guy as Jesus had enemies. He hung around with disreputable people. The Pharisees developed a long list of rules for what you can do and can’t do on the Sabbath. But Jesus ...read more

Season Of Closed Doors

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 20, 2024

When every door in our lives seems to be closed, there is always one door that opens, and that is the door to know and seek God. Many saints in the Bible went through this door during their difficult times when all other doors were closed.

Taking God For Granted

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 27, 2025

Are we truly devoted to God whole heartedly no matter what? Or are we only Christianity to see what's in it for us? Are we taking God for granted or are we humble before him? Today, I want us to search our souls and our hearts for the answers to these questions as we dive into the Gospel.

The problem with our world today is not with a God who has never failed and is faithful from generation to generation. The problem in the world today are the hearts of evil men who take God for granted. And today, we turn to Psalms 78, and we see a chapter in Israel's history in which, time ...read more

God Gives Second Chances (Ezekiel 18:1-32) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2025

An academically rigorous, 1 week rabbit trail talking about generational punishments/curses, mostly following (and maybe slightly improving on) Margaret Odell's Ezekiel commentary.

Today, we have the privilege of working through a chapter of the Bible that I've been unsettled about, and wrestled with off and on, and changed my mind back and forth, for over 20 years. Ezekiel 18. If you're not familiar with the passage, that's fabulous. That's great. If you ...read more
