It Is Time To Repair All The Broken Altars In Your Life

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

I continue messages on our trip to Israel. Last time we looked at Jeremiah who suffered for preaching the Word. Today the Hebrews crossed the Jordan and erected an altar in Gilgal about 3 miles from Jericho. Elijah did the same at Mt. Carmel where we visited. What makes an altar important?

IT IS TIME TO REPAIR ALL BROKEN ALTARS 1. Joshua 4:1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, 2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, 3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of ...read more

Teach Your Kids: Yahweh Is A God Of Wonders (Joshua 4:1-24) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 11, 2021

Joshua sets up two memorials, in hopes that this will help the people remember, for all generations, God's wonders, and revere him, through all generations.

The easiest way to jump into today's passage is by turning back to Joshua 3:7-13. It begins with Yahweh's words to Joshua, right before He does the wonder He has planned for Israel. Verse 7: (7) And Yahweh said to Joshua, "On this day I shall/will begin to make you great in the ...read more

God commanded Joshua to pile up a mound of stones from the bottom of the Jordan river, which God had miraculously dried up, to incite the curiosity of their children and give the parents a chance to witness.

Remember And Surrender Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 6, 2021

I wish to begin by sharing some of the history behind Memorial Day; however, I have encountered two separate versions of the story on how this holiday began, and so, I am going to present both ...read more

It's Tradition Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jul 5, 2021

Many of us participate in Traditions, but never ask the question, "Why do we do that?" Communion is so much more than a simple tradition. It's about remembering what Jesus did for us.

July 03, 2021 It’s funny how traditions get started. They are important, to be sure, because they remind us of home and family and culture, but sometimes we participate in them not knowing why we do them because we have never stopped to ask, “Why do we do that?”. ...read more

"What Does This Milestone Mean?” Series

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Sep 17, 2024

Today as we mark the celebration of the milestone of 50 years let’s answer the question that Joshua predicted his people would ask when they saw that pile of stones next to the Jordan River.

Although we no longer use literal stones to mark the miles along our roads and highways, we all understand the reference to “milestones.” Tracing their history back to the Roman Empire when they were called “miliarium” they were used to mark distances along their vast network of roads. Yes, they ...read more
