    I want us to reflect on Jesus’ words, “It is finished.” We’ll see that when Jesus said “It is finished,” His ‘finishing’ was just the ‘beginning’ for you and Me.

    HIS ‘IT IS FINISHED’ WAS JUST THE BEGINNING FOR ME Jn. 19:28-30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Have you ever been “put out” or exasperated that you weren’t treated better in a situation?

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Nov 15, 2025
     | 175 views

    Nothing like a plague of Biblical proportions to give a nation a bit of a hurry up about returning to God. In Joel's day it was locusts, they had eaten all there was and it was a heads up that; The Day of The Lord was coming. That, and you can't eat what doesn't exist.

    Joel. God wants to give his mercy and grace, and to pour out his love on all people. The book of Joel, the third of our minor prophets is a short read. This book of three chapters, is about God confronting and defeating evil. The name Joel while being a short name contains a lot of meaning; ...read more
