The Original Christmas Emotion

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 27, 2002

Four times in the Christmas Story we encounter fearful people of God: Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. In all cases, they are comforted by God’s angels. And they are told, “fear not”.

Don't Rebuild Your Jericho

Contributed by Jimmy Stewart on Jan 22, 2003

Joshua made a convenant with the Israelites that Jericho wouldn’t be rebuilt, for its ruin should always be a reminder of God’s power. In life, what God destroys in our lives, He intends to stay in ruins.

The scene of the text was one of destruction, fire, ruin. But, for the children of Israel, it was a scene full of victory. God had done a mighty work that He promised He would do on behalf of His people. He said Israel would possess Canaan and would destroy all those who oppose His plan. So ...read more

That One Service

Contributed by Jimmy Stewart on Feb 28, 2003

Many folks are not faithful to regular church attendance, then when God really performs a great work in the service, the continual response is, "I knew I was going to miss something if I didn’t come..."

As it is now, there was a lot of knowledge about God, even by the elect of the day, but there was little personal relationship with Him. So the Lord began to ...read more

Psalms 23

Contributed by Jimmy Stewart on Apr 2, 2003

As long as the Lord is your shepherd, what else do you want?

PSALMS 23 This passage is more often preached out of at funerals. But, I believe David was not talking about the after life when he wrote these powerful words of God’s provision. One day I can see in my mind David grazing with the sheep on the mountain sides of Israel. He tends to them and ...read more

Worship

Contributed by Jimmy Stewart on Nov 10, 2004

We need to figure out what the Bible declares is true worship, and start presenting THAT to God!

Worship John 4 If we were honest, we would agree that the modern church world is in a bit of dissaray when it comes to the definition of true worship. The fact is, what many Christians, and many churches are presenting to God as worship is really not worship at all. Many times it’s nothing more ...read more
