Joshua's Final Words, Part 2 (Joshua 24:1-33) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Joshua calls them to make a deliberate choice-- for Yahweh, or other elohim. And he warns them, they will fail, and God's wrath will come. That said, he and his family will serve Yahweh.

Last week, in Joshua 23, we read what we thought were Joshua's last words. They were, really. Just, it was only first half of his farewell. And the focus of those words was on the warning. As a reminder, I'm going to reread verses 14-16: 14 “And now I am about to go the way of all the ...read more

Celebrating the Passover in the Promised Land.

Jesus Has A Contract Out On You

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Feb 7, 2024

Jesus, before He died said: “ This cup is the New Covenant in my blood.” What is this “New Covenant?” This “covenant” or “contract” is full of fine print of terms and conditions. As we read this passage we learn several things about the contract. What do we learn?

How many of you love to read contracts or “terms and conditions?” Most of us don’t pull out the most recent contract we have signed and read over the terms and conditions do we? Do you have a problem sleeping? I encourage you to go find your mortgage contract and read it tonight or perhaps the ...read more
