"What Does This Milestone Mean?” Series

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Sep 17, 2024

Today as we mark the celebration of the milestone of 50 years let’s answer the question that Joshua predicted his people would ask when they saw that pile of stones next to the Jordan River.

Although we no longer use literal stones to mark the miles along our roads and highways, we all understand the reference to “milestones.” Tracing their history back to the Roman Empire when they were called “miliarium” they were used to mark distances along their vast network of roads. Yes, they ...read more

The Title: The Purpose of the Law Scripture: Matthew 5:18, Romans: 7-12 Reason for this sermon: Twice I have led Bible studies through the 613 laws in the Pentateuch. It was amazing.

Mountains awaken in man the instinct for heaven. He knows when he looks at the mountains that he was made for a high and lofty purpose. ...read more

I was talking to a man who is a member of the Holiness Church. He said his church was a split off from the Free Methodist Church. When I expressed my surprise by saying that I thought the Free Methodist were a very fundamental group, he responded by saying, "Yes, but what was sin 50 ...read more
