Preparing For Victory Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 5, 2007

God gives Joshua a promise, His presence, and a proclamation of victory over the enemy. God does the same for us as we prepare to lead the victorious Christian life.

Joshua is a book about leading a victorious new life in God. On the surface it is about God bringing about His promise of a new land for His people, the Children of Israel. But there are tremendous parallels throughout the book to God bringing us, His children, into a promised new life in Jesus ...read more

Rahab And The Spies

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 11, 2007

Rahab lived in a doomed city, but she reached out in faith to the enemy, to become one of them, and find salvation.

As we continue our study of Joshua, and how to have a victorious Christian life-the first obstacle a person comes to is the world. Some have suggested that Jericho, the first city across the Jordan in Israel, represents the world; the king of Jericho Satan, the god of this world. When it comes to ...read more

Resurrection Reluctance

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 16, 2006

Easter should be a happy day, but for those who first experienced the risen Lord it was anything but joyful. This speaks to how you might experience Jesus at first too.

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when I say the word "Easter"? Outside of a Christian group you’d probably say "The Easter Bunny," or "Easter eggs." Fluffy white bunnies and eggs have become so much a part of secular Easter that it wouldn’t surprise me if little kids thought that the ...read more

God Is Fair & Just Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 24, 2006

In the end, no one will be able to accuse God of not being fair. One reason for that is contained in chapters 14 and 15 of Revelation. God also gives us some reasons to hope when we face darkness in our own lives

We are just about to enter back into the chronological narrative of the story of Revelation. The 7th trumpet found under the 7th seal of the Lamb’s scroll was sounded in chapter 11. In chapters 12-13 we saw the struggle between the angels and Lucifer - then Satan’s desire to destroy Israel, the ...read more

The End Of Man's Reign Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 1, 2006

The Last Plagues - The Battle of Armageddon, & The End of Man’s Reign

A volcano can go for hundreds or thousands of years without erupting - then in one day unleash terrible destruction. That’s what happened in May of 1980 with the eruption of Mt St. Helens in southern Washington State. While we don’t see it - pressure builds up until the breaking point. In a way, ...read more

The Coming Warrior King Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 9, 2006

Like the cavalry to the rescue, Jesus comes riding back to earth on a white horse to wipe out the enemy and set up His kingdom. What does that mean to us as we find ourselves in need of rescue right here and now?

As we move into chapters 19 and 20 of The Book of the Revelation we can breathe a big sigh of relief. No more plagues and catastrophes, no more rebellion and evil ruling the planet. We transition from what’s going on in heaven and earth separately - to the two becoming one - as Jesus Christ returns ...read more

Heaven Homecoming Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 15, 2006

If you’ve ever wondered what heaven is like, we get one of our most complete looks at it in the final chapters of Revelation. We’ll also see heaven and hell compared.

When you think of heaven, what comes to your mind? The stereotypical view is of white puffy clouds, with us dressed in white robes with wings, carrying harps and just lazing around all day with nothing to do. Is that heaven? No. Chapters 21 and 22 of Revelation give us about as much information as ...read more

The Reporter's Gospel

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 22, 2006

Luke presents Jesus as a man, yet with a miraculous birth. Chapter 1 brings us a transition from Old to New Covenants, and two ways of receiving God’s Word - which way do you respond?

As many of you know, I worked for many years in the television industry as a reporter. It was a fun job for a while - you got to do things and meet people that you normally wouldn’t. I met presidents and famous actors, rode in helicopters perched on the sides of snow covered mountains, stood in ...read more

Do You Feel Insignificant? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 30, 2006

Luke 2 teaches us that Jesus purposefully came to those who no one would choose - from a young poor couple to outcast shepherds. Learn also about his ordinary/extraordinary childhood.

Luke chapter 2 is very unique - it is the only place where we learn in detail what happened at the birth of Christ - again, evidence that Luke may have gotten the story from Mary herself. It is the only place where we see Jesus presented for circumcision at the Temple, and the only gospel that ...read more

The Tilling Of The Heart Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 4, 2006

How is the soil of your heart? Are you ready to receive what God has to say? Learn what true repentance means and doesn’t mean in the ministry of John the Baptist.

Let me say first of all that I am not the gardener in our family - that’s my wife. I am the assistant gardener. But I have learned a thing or two over the years. One is that without adequate soil preparation your garden will not grow plants, it will simply grow seedlings that will be eaten by ...read more

Fighting Temptation Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 13, 2006

The Devil does not appear to us in a red suite with a pitchfork. In fact, Satans temptations are often attractive and fill legitimate needs - or seem to. Learn how Jesus fought these temptations and how we can as well.

Temptation An attorney was sitting in his office late one night, when the Devil appeared before him. The Devil told the lawyer, /’I have a proposition for you. You can win every case you try, for the rest of your life. Your clients will adore you, your colleagues will stand in awe of you, and you ...read more

Principals For Victory Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 21, 2007

We take a global look at the book of Joshua - what lessons we learned about having a victorious life in Christ. This is a good overview of the entire book.

Chapter 1 The Call (God commissions Joshua and commands him to prepare for battle) There are three things we need from God in order to have a successful Christian life: the promise of God, the presence of God (vs 5) and the pronouncement, or Word of God (vs 8). There are two things God brings ...read more

Winding Down Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 24, 2007

The Children of Israel begin the period of the Judges well, but begin to neglect their relationship with God and this leads to defeat, much as the Christian who does not nurture that relationship with exist in the weakened flesh.

When I was in junior high a Catholic priest came to visit my debate class. I know, today a visit to a public school by a religious official would warrant calling out the SWAT team and raising the terror alert to red, but it was a different nation in those days. Anyway, I remember this gentleman ...read more

The Way Down

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 3, 2007

In one of the saddest chapters of the Bible, Israel first neglects, then abandons their relationship with Yahweh. Through it all, though He remains faithful to them and stands ready to help when they cry out, just like with us.

I was 16 years old. It was my first "real" job after working as a newspaper delivery person for many years. I worked for a dry cleaner establishment that (I found out later) was about to go under. My job was to deliver cleaned drapes to customers. I was given the keys to an old van and told to take ...read more

The Work Or The Worker Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 17, 2007

Which matters most to you - doing the job or getting the credit? That’s what Barak faces in a battle against Israel’s enemies. He makes the right choice - do we? Also - letting God do a complete work of healing in our lives.

Chapters 4 and 5 of Judges are a real bright spot in a book that is mostly bleak and depressing. Not only do we see a great victory but it also features some real role reversals. This time it’s not the guys who shine, but the gals. We have a woman, Deborah, who is both a judge and a prophetess. I ...read more
