Our Father Series

Contributed by Darian Catron on Jun 14, 2019

From House To House

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Based on a New Testament understanding of a church, and based on the ministry of the early apostles, we learn that believers did not always assemble in a public place of worship. Much of the time they met in one another’s homes.

This morning I want to address the topic of “doing church.” and I’m going to begin by asking the question, “Where are Christians supposed to assemble together for worship and fellowship?” In Acts 17:24, Paul declared, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022

When we get into chapter 7, the wonderful victory of defeating Jericho had to be fresh in the minds of the people of God.

In continuation we will meditate today on Joshua 14:12, “So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities.
