Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 20, 2013

What Is It That Pleases God? Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 22, 2018

Yield Not To Temptation

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 13, 2018

All of us are tempted every day. There is a process we go through before we make a decision to give in to the temptation or not to give in to the temptation. The record of David and Bathsheba is such an example.

All of us are tempted every day. Satan is trying to find something that will stick in our minds that we will act on. So I said to God “Father, there has to be a process we go through before we make a decision to give in to the temptation or not to give in to the temptation.” And sure enough, there ...read more

Hezekiah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Mar 3, 2023

Hezekiah was an interesting fellow. On one hand, he was faithful and he trusted God. On the other hand, when given the opportunity to bring glory to God, he chose, instead, to bring glory to himself, with tragic consequences.

Flesh And Bones

Contributed by Jim Drake on Apr 9, 2007

While Ezekiel’s vision and prophesy applies uniquely to Israel, principles can be drawn that apply to God’s people today. What are three things Ezekiel’s dry bones have in common with today’s church?

Remember that after King Solomon, God split the Jews into two nations—Israel and Judah. Israel in the North and Judah in the ...read more
