Rahab - Living Without Fear Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 25, 2010

The Providence Of God Series

Contributed by Hugh W. Davidson on Apr 18, 2009

The Faith Of Rahab

Contributed by James Lee on Oct 31, 2012

In Joshua chapter 2 we meet this lady by the name of Rahab and what we find out about her is rather shocking and you might even ask…”How can such a person be placed in this list, along with men like Abraham!?”

Recently we looked at an unusual hero, in a man called Samson. He was listed in what we call the “Faith Hall of Fame” There is another unusual hero listed there… Her name is Rahab and she was not what we might choose to be a hero type for our kids or even ourselves. In Joshua ...read more

Individualism

Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013

We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

Individualism Joshua 7: 2-12a Imagine somebody courteously asking, “How is your family life?” or “How is your prayer life?” or “Is your thought life pure?” or “How wisely do you use your time?” or as John Wesley would ask Methodists in his day, ...read more

Journey From Freedom To Slavery Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Mar 14, 2013

The point of this whole Bible miniseries is to have the opportunity to see how even the ancient major stories in the Bible are relevant to us and reveal God's intentions toward all of us.

Many of us have stories of our ancestors don't we. Maybe it's the Grandpa that came to Canada with $5 in his pocket. Or a family member who fought in a famous war. And of course the parent who walked to and from school uphill everyday in 6 feet of snow. I never could figure out how it's uphill both ...read more
