A Hill To Die On Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 20, 2016

Why wasn't Moses allowed into the Promised Land? The short answer is: he sinned, but somehow that doesn't seem quite fair. He was one of the greatest and meekest men in Scripture. Is there something more about God's decision that we need to know?

I love to read and a few weeks ago I ran across a word quiz from a non-Christian publication that – at first – angered me. I thought they were making fun of Christianity. But once I read the answer to the quiz I realized not only were they NOT doing that, but in fact someone had ...read more

Freedom Child Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 19, 2015

Why would God send Moses as a baby? He's supposed to be a "deliverer"... and it's going to take 80 years to grow into the job! Why did God do it that way?

I read the true story of a Sunday School for 4-year-olds'. Most of the children were known to the teacher, but this Sunday a little boy showed up without any identification. The teacher managed to get his first name, but couldn't find out his last name. "Brian, what's your daddy's name?" she ...read more

Why Jesus Was Borm

Contributed by Gregory Peterson on Dec 20, 2022

Explore some of the reasons Jesus was born, often teach our children that Jesus came, but seldom do we help them understand why He came. Perhaps we have never considered this or have come up with the idea this scripture presents but not the why. Explore that today.

I. Jesus was born to save His people from their sins. This implies that each of us is guilty of sin. Romans 3:23 affirms that, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Sin has caused a separation between us and God, a complete breaking of fellowship with Him. This ...read more

Born To Be Wild Series

Contributed by Mark Eberly on Dec 10, 2007

Jesus comes in the wilderness of our lives. He makes a way where there seems to be no way. And that is where his followers are called to be: in the "wild-ness" and brokenness of people’s lives showing the love and mercy of God.
