Stepping Out Of Your Comfort Zone Series

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.

The Lord Wins The Victory Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 15, 2007

It’s so wonderful to see God use our mistakes to bring forth His victory in our lives, just as he did for Joshua and Israel.

In Joshua 10 things really speed up. The conquest of the Amorites is complete and then Joshua and the people go into fast motion and conquer all of southern Canaan. To get to this point, though takes a lot of effort and God even works a miracle by elongating a day in order for their efforts to be ...read more

Hero Or Zero?

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
