Your Mistakes, God's Victories Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 26, 2007

Do you ever feel like you are damaged goods and God can’t use you because of your sin and weakness? That may actually be a sly plot of the devil, but God is great about turning your mistakes in His victory as He did for Joshua.

If you are Joshua, what do you do? Here you’ve come out of the starting gate, primed by God’s miracle in the river crossing, pumped by God’s miraculous defeat at Jericho-then your bubble is popped big time by the fact that you showed some arrogance in thinking you were invincible. Sin entered into ...read more

Re-Discovering The Resurrection

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 9, 2007

Emotions ran high for those who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How those emotions changed and what changed them made the difference between faith and disbelief.

For many of us, when I say the word "Easter" or "Resurrection Sunday" or even "Third Day" it brings things to mind. If you are a Christian you may think of the empty tomb, or of the angels and Jesus’ visit to the disciples. If you are not a Christian you might think of the Easter Bunny or "maybe I ...read more

The Lord Wins The Victory Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 15, 2007

It’s so wonderful to see God use our mistakes to bring forth His victory in our lives, just as he did for Joshua and Israel.

In Joshua 10 things really speed up. The conquest of the Amorites is complete and then Joshua and the people go into fast motion and conquer all of southern Canaan. To get to this point, though takes a lot of effort and God even works a miracle by elongating a day in order for their efforts to be ...read more

The Enemy's Hail Mary Play Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 23, 2007

When you are really maturing in your Christian walk the enemy still has tricks up his sleeve: overwhelming numbers and your greatest fear. Learn how God overcomes both.

Joshua 11 recounts the final battles as Israel takes the northern cities. Do you know what a Hail Mary play is?

Spiritual Fitness

In chapter 9, we explore having the Lord as your avocation – finding the best fit for you, fitting in with others, and becoming fit to excel in His service.

Do you have an avocation? I don’t mean a hobby you play at – or a job you work at – but something that really interests you – something you’ll spend hours and hours working on, even when you don’t have to?

Fast Pass

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 31, 2003

Eeyore Or Winnie - Which Will You Be? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 13, 2007

Some of the tribes of Israel had a choice of how they conquered their land. It’s a picture for us too as we seek to overcome the flesh and have victory over the enemy.
