    Jesus took passages from Leviticus, taught them, and repackaged them so that His disciples can live out the principles behind them.

    9th in long series on Joshua, 2nd of 2 on mass circumcision in ch.5. This deals with being a part of a family, using the well-used illustration of a flock of geese.

    based on 29 ratings
     | 5,647 views

    A lot of people plateau because they think once they become a Christian, that’s it -- they’ve arrived. If you want to make progress, trade in that attitude for one that says, "I’m going to grow!" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Trade-offs for a happy 2005. Everything plateaus when until you’re willing to make the trade-off. <ILLUS> Mt. Climber up Mt. Everest – started out with cameras, tripods, exotic foods, etc. Discarded them one by one. He had to make the trade-off to keep on climbing upward. Trade in “I’ve ...read more

    A look at Thomas’s doubts and the reason for them with a warning about unbelief in our own lives.
