Treasure God's Word

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 29, 2025

God’s word has power to change and transform our lives and all of our situations. The question is, “Do we treasure God’s Word?” May we ask God to open our eyes so we can see the wondrous truths hidden in it and will choose to walk in total obedience to God and His Word.

Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 1:6-7, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn ...read more

God Buries His Workers, But Carries On His Work

Contributed by Ronald Moore on Nov 4, 2025

Every believer must eventually come face to face with one humbling truth: God’s work does not depend on us. He uses us, yes—mercifully, powerfully, even miraculously—but when our task is finished, He sets us down, and His work continues without pause.

Sanctified Speech

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 12, 2025

God calls us to be sanctified vessels fit to be used for His greater purposes. One area that we need sanctification is our speech. In a world that thrives on lies and deception, the Lord Jesus challenges us to live a life of integrity and to practice speaking the truth at all times.

The meditation for today is taken from Joshua 3:5, And Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you." (AFV) There are two phrases that I wish to highlight from the above mentioned verse, the first one being ‘Sanctify yourselves’ and the ...read more

Spread The Good News Again

Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Nov 12, 2025

Big Idea: “As the Scripture says, how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news” (Rom. 10:15)!

In times like these, we cannot afford to be complacent. We must continue to spread the Good News again and again and again. We must preach and teach the Good News of Jesus Christ everywhere we go, intentionally and with passion, and sometimes we must do it without saying a word. Take a step back in ...read more

Unleashing The Power Of Your Story SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

As believers, we often overlook the fact that one of our greatest weapons against the forces of evil is our personal testimony. Your testimony makes you a threat to the enemy, so it's crucial to open your mouth and share it. In this passage, Joshua selected twelve men from the twelve tribes of ...read more
