Israel’s Greatest General (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 1, 2022

The life of Joshua, of the Bible, is unique in many ways. First, it is unique in that his name is mentioned in the Bible. If God had said nothing about him at all except to mention his name, that would have made him very special.

Then the Bible tells us, in chapter twenty-three, what took place when he was, “stricken with age.” Joshua had lived a godly life. Before he DEPARTED, he wanted to IMPART things to ...read more

Living Sacrifices

Contributed by Tammy Garrison on Jul 17, 2002

This is the 6th sermon in a series on Paul’s letter to the Romans. The problem with living sacrifices is they keep getting down off the altar.

When I think of the word ‘sacrifice’, certain images come to mind. I think of a play made in baseball, where one player is tagged out ...read more
