Abner Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 2, 2022

The only engagement between the rival factions, told at length, is noteworthy since it was preceded by an encounter at Gibeon between 12 chosen men from each side, in which all 24 seem to have perished. Abner was defeated and put to flight in the general engagement that followed.

Nothing Is Going To Take My Song

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jan 5, 2025

One of the greatest revelations of David's life was the power of song. No one understood praise any better than David, and no one understood the power of a song like David. A song is more than words strung together to a tune. A song is a helper, a companion, and a weapon.

Who Sits On Your Throne? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2025

We conclude a series that explores the great character of God. Every sermon has been taken from the Psalms in this series. No other book in your Bible has as many authors as does Psalms. The superscriptions above verse 1 of many of the Psalms tell us that Moses, Solomon, Asaph, Hezekiah, and ...read more
