No One Can Stand Against Us

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 16, 2025

God was with Joshua just as He was with Moses. God blessed Joshua and made him a great leader because of the qualities God saw and approved in him. If we live the way Joshua did and God is for us, no one can stand against us too all the days of our lives.

For our meditation today we will look at Joshua 1:5, “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.” (ESV) These are the words of God to Joshua. The Lord told Joshua that no one would be ...read more

Keeping You From The Hour Of Trial.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jan 21, 2021

What is the Key of David? The Key of David is a term found in Revelation and Isaiah. A key indicates control or authority; therefore, having the Key of David would give one control of David’s domain, Jerusalem, the City of David, and the kingdom of Israel.

What Are You Doing In Sodom? Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Feb 19, 2012

Sodom represents the allurment of the world. It proved deadly for Lot, and it will just as surely destroy our lives if we venture close to the world.

Our passage gives us a powerful lesson concerning worldliness. The key question from Genesis 14, “how close can you get to sin before it corrupts you?” The key verse, is Genesis 14:12. There we learn that while Lot first “pitched his tents near Sodom, now we read that Lot was ...read more

What Crime Did Jesus Commit? Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Mar 9, 2004

We see the context that sets up the reason Jesus was rejected by the Jews. He called for integrity, challenged their authority, claimed to be deity. We then move from the reasons to the purpose - our justification.

Almost 2000 years ago, Jesus asked His followers a question: “Who do you say I am?” It’s still the fundamental question of life. And the answer creates controversy. It’s one reason why Mel Gibson’s film, The Passion of the Christ, is so controversial. This is a film that has had the audacity ...read more
