A Peculiar People Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

The Reformers made it a major issue as they stressed the priesthood of all believers, but we still have not rid ourselves of the concept that the church is clergy centered.

Under the Roman system of slavery it was possible for an ambitious slave to gain his freedom.

Ordinary People Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Everybody in this book is ordinary. Obed, the baby who gives the book a happy ending, does not grow up to do anything of significance that we know of. There are no great battles, no miracles, and no profound theological statements in this book. Not one person in this book was above ordinary.

What woman do you know who has had a thousand men propose to her from fisherman to millionaires; from the penniless on the bowry to the prince of a royal European family?

We are all under pressure - from family, from friends, from work. Herodias' plot to kill John the Baptist is all about such pressure & saving face in the presence of those who you think are important - sure God is the only one who really matters.

Holy People Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 20, 2017

Holiness is not a popular subject these days. Maybe because there are so few people who count holiness as a goal, or even as a value. But the Bible says a lot about holiness.

We’ve talked about grace & peace in previous devotions (Ephesians 1 & Philippians 1). Today, let’s focus on holiness. Holy People Have you thought much about ...read more

The People In The Pews

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Ezekiel is a interesting prophet. We can see from this passage of Scripture that he preached sermons that dealt with people where they lived.

I am sure that when Ezekiel got through preaching this sermon, there were not many standing at the back door telling him how much they enjoyed the sermon. This is why many will seek for a church where the Word of God is occasionally MENTIONED, but not PREACHED! For example, today it is not ...read more

Peculiar People

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021

Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

Remind The People. . .
