The Peril Of Hardening Your Heart Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 25, 2021

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 19, 2014

Quick question: Who was Othniel? Give up? Most people would. He's not all that memorable to most believers... but he was to God. God chose him to be the very first judge of Israel. But why him, and why should we care?

OPEN: “Muhammad Ali” was probably one of the greatest heavyweight boxers in the sport's history. Not only was he a skilled boxer, he was very good at self-promotion, and he’d use clever pieces of short poetry to catch the imagination of his audience. For example, before his fight ...read more

Lord Build Me Through Struggles Series

The Testimony Of John The Baptist

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 21, 2021

John the Baptist is presented in the prologue of John's gospel as the prophesied forerunner to the arrival of God's Messiah. He prepared the people of Israel for the Messiah by preaching repentance and obedience. Repentance was needed then, and in these last days as well.

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide! Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 8, 2022

Israel acted as if God did not see their heart and their attitude. God saw all the meeting and plans with Egypt. God saw the attitude towards His word. How strange that so many people think that they can hide from God.

Sermon: Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Scripture: Isaiah 30:1-14 NLT “What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,” says the Lord. “You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins. 2 For without consulting me, you have gone down to ...read more

God Complains To His People

Consider a lawyer as he sets forth God's case against the people of Israel and Judah. That was Micah's job. God did not like the sin that happened then, and He doesn't like it today.

It was written to warn them of the coming judgment from God but to also for them to repent. Throughout the book of Micah, the need for peace and justice is ...read more

Land Flowing With Milk And Honey

Contributed by Samuel M on Dec 18, 2024

Israel was a land a flowing milk and honey not because it had big rivers or good physical conditions (as Egypt had), but because it was nourished and watered by dew and rivers of heaven. It was watered by the rain of heaven, whose chief agriculturist is God Himself.

I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.

March 15, 2025 When Yahweh called Moses, he made a promise: Exodus 3:12 - "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." Faithful to his promise: Exodus ...read more

Looking For Comfort

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 31, 2023

God's coming does not depend on us. In fact, He has already come. And the only things we have to do to receive him are the same three things Isaiah told the people of Israel so long ago.
