    In his book entitled God‘s Psychiatry, Charles Allen tells this story: As World War II was drawing to a close, the Allied armies gathered up many hungry orphans.

    An idea is being floated in our nation that citizens must pay for the sins of the past in something called "reparations." This message asks if this concept is biblical. Praise be to God that He does not require reparations from us!

    I want to begin our message this morning by bringing an awareness of a modern-day proposal that is being floated in our local, state, and federal governments, and then tie that in to what Ezekiel has to say in our passage. Across our nation, people are talking about something called “reparations.” ...read more

    Jonadab provides an example of a father who left a spiritual legacy that lasted generations, even though he lived in times of political and spiritual decline.

    Joshua shows us God’s faithfulness and warns us about the dangers of failing to trust him. We are so much like Israel it’s scary.

    Who’s word do you put the most trust in? There was a sign in a store that said, “In God we trust, all others pay cash.” As Joshua’s life comes to a close he calls all the people of Israel together for one last charge to encourage them and attempt to solidify their commitment to the Lord. Among ...read more

Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”’ Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you ...read more

    I have a classic story to share with you about a young boy who was once destined to live in royalty…at least so he thought. He was the grandson of King Saul and was destined to one day become the king of Israel.

Stories like “Cinderella” or “The Prince and the Pauper”. “Cinderella” was only a ...read more
