Bethel: "o Altar, Altar!"

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 25, 2020

This may be the only sermon preached against an altar! When God's prophet came to Bethel, some interesting things happened. Something even happened to the altar itself.

This is especially true in the Old Testament: the prophets spoke about (and against) various kings, nations, and even the nations of Israel and Judah. The text here is unusual because, first, it’s spoken against an altar! So ...read more

Asleep

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Nov 11, 2023

As humans we grow tired and require a nap; at least I do in the afternoon. Does God grow sleepy and require a daily nap in the afternoon? If we take the days of the week literally as with the creation, does God sleep every seventh day?

In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth. After creating everything, God rested. Does that mean God went to sleep? As humans we grow tired and require a nap; at least I do in the afternoon. Does God grow sleepy and require a daily nap in the afternoon? If we take the days of the week ...read more

Sticky Fingers Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 25, 2022

This commandment teaches us that keeping our hands off our neighbor’s things is as important as keeping our hands off our neighbor’s neck.

One of my favorite movies ever is a little gem called “The Gods Must Be Crazy.” It starts out with an idyllic look at society among the stone age tribesmen of the Kalahari desert. They have absolutely no possessions. Not one. Not even so much as a loin cloth. They spend most of their time hunting ...read more

2nd Corinthians Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Nov 20, 2021

Keep The Marriage Intact Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 5, 2022

Divorce is a concession and not God's original intent. If separated, remain as we are. Do not initiate divorce even if your spouse is an unbeliever. Stay and bless the marriage and family, by the working of God's grace through you.

The word “intact” is beautiful, it means “not damaged or impaired in any way.” • Keep the marriage intact, so that the marriage union is not damaged or impaired in any way. Keep it intact and complete. From chapter 7 onwards Paul was answering the questions raised by the Corinthians in a letter ...read more

Festering Pharoah Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025

God turns up the heat on pride, not to destroy but to heal—transforming our ashes into grace and our wounds into worship.

Egypt thought it had already seen the worst of it. The rivers had bled, the frogs had croaked, the flies had swarmed. But pride is hard of hearing. Pharaoh still stood tall, still folded his arms, still told God, “Not today.” So God turned up the heat. No thunder this time. No frogs hopping down ...read more
