Stepping Out Of Your Comfort Zone Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 25, 2004

Peter discovers that God has more in mind than just the people of Israel as he’s taken outside his comfort zone to share the gospel with Cornelius

It’s a weird story isn’t it? Peter’s up on the roof of Simon the Tanner’s house in the middle of the day praying and he starts to feel hungry. So he asks the cook to prepare some lunch and while he’s waiting he falls into a trance. Perhaps the heat of the day has got to him. Perhaps he starts to ...read more

When All Seems Hopeless

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Feb 13, 2003

Following the death of Moses and facing the task of conquering a land of fortified cities, Israel experienced a sense of hopelessness. Trust and confidence in God will restore hope in our life.

Come Thou With Us And We Will Do Thee Good!

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 18, 2002

When inviting Hobab to journey with the children of Israel, Moses would not take "no" for a final answer. So it is that we must continue inviting the lost to come to Jesus.

COME THOU WITH US, AND WE WILL DO THEE GOOD "And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law: We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it to you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord has promised good things to Israel." ...read more

Return To Gilgal

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Feb 27, 2011

In Joshua, the children of Israel set up 12 stones at Gilgal to remind them of what God had done. How do we remember the blessings of God?

Joshua has stepped into the leadership void; just as a new generation of Israelites are ready to cross over the Jordan to take possession of the land promised to Abraham. God understands the feelings of his people. The anticipation, the ...read more

A Look Of Faith

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 2, 2010

In God's dealings with Israel, the atoning work of Jesus Christ was always in mind. The symbol of the snake was intended for later use by Jesus as an illustration of his death.

A Look of Faith (Numbers 21:4-9, John 3:13-16) 1. In the world of medicine and nutritional supplements, do we really know what we are doing? People seem so sure about their claims, but we need to remind ourselves: we don't know what we don't know. 2. This AFP article broke this last ...read more

My Home In God's Heart

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2008

Dramatic monologue as if Hosea were speaking; his mixed feelings of anger and compassion toward Gomer become the clue for understanding God’s feelings about Israel.

It had been a hard day in the fields. The sun had beat down without mercy on my back. Twice or three times, my team of oxen had stumbled and I had had to stop and help them up out of the miry clay, lest they break their legs and be useless. I’ve always found that it’s not hard to stop and care for ...read more
