Saul's Righteous Anger (1 Samuel 11)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 6, 2025

Is all anger evil, or is there a righteous anger? Let's look at 1 Samuel 11.

Can we be passive or must we conquer evil? Can God mercifully rescue us from evil? Do God’s enemies want to humiliate us? Does righteous anger conquer evil and unrighteous anger let evil conquer us? Let’s look at 1 Samuel 11. Did the Ammonites threaten Jabesh in Gilead with a humiliating offer of ...read more

Part Ii Death And The Sovereignty Of God Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2025

With Israel’s defeat, all means were used against them in the name of hate. Ambushes and murder from Edom was despicable. God had not overlooked it. The end of Chapter 4 has Edom in God’s sights so the evil done to Israel will come hard on their own heads.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 37 – WE LOOK AT THE CRIMES OF EDOM; THEIR EVIL AGAINST ISRAEL - CHAPTER 4:20-22 This is the last of the descriptions of the plight of the refugees.

Dwelling In Dagon's Den

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 3, 2005

Although we live in troublesome times, and life seems fragile and irksome, we are not alone in the universe. Greater is He who protects us than the forces of evil around us. Evil may appear to prevail, but God will have the final word.

Finding Jesus Through Suffering

Contributed by Jonathan Twitchell on Oct 26, 2006

The Problem of Evil asks "How can evil co-exist in a universe with an all-good, all-powerful God?" Pastor Jon looks at this difficult problem, drawing from the doctrine of free will, the tarnishing of creation at the fall of man, and the simple fact that

Last week we spoke of the difference between campaigns and callings—highlighting that Jesus did not campaign for his position as the Great High Priest, but was called to that position like the priests of old. He fulfilled his calling and was obedient to his Father, even though that calling led Him ...read more

Watch Your Step Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Aug 25, 2011

Often we Christians believe that we are so insulated against evil that we do not need to be isolated from evil. Everything the Bible says is opposed to such a view. The people and the activities we are involved with can hurt us and cause us to fall.

PROVERBS 4:10-19 WATCH YOUR STEP [Jude 24, 25] A sign on the entrance to the IRS office read, "Watch your step." A sign on the exit read, "Watch your language." Two good pieces of advice!

An Open Door Of The Ark

Contributed by Norman Bernad on Sep 23, 2020

The society of Noah’s day was completely depraved; it was violent, inclined towards evil, hateful of any trace of goodness, constantly developing evil Imaginations, and except for 8 souls whom God had granted grace to, completely God rejecting.

An open door of the Ark Psalm 12 1. Genesis 7:1-5 2. (Matthew 25:1-13) And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Miracles For Moses Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 31, 2021

God gave Moses 3 miracles to convince the Israelites God had sent him. But these miracles seem (to me) to be fairly unimpressive - a little like "parlor tricks." Why would God ask Moses to use them to convince the Elders of Israel that God had sent him?

(Sing) “I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows.

Satan’s Deceptive Religious Leader: The False Prophet Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 16, 2023

Satan imitates a false resurrection, sends someone to act godly, performs fake miracles, and then demands humanity's worship. Why? Because he is so desperate to be accepted that he attempts the things of God to fool humanity.
