We Come To Jesus In Steps (John 1:29-42) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 4, 2022

No one starts of knowing Jesus, or who he is. And that's okay. What's important, is that you "come to" Jesus, and "abide" with him. You can't come to Jesus, while keeping your (objective) distance.

Beginning in John 1:19, we find ourselves reading the events of a single week in the life of John the Baptist and Jesus. Let's start today by simply rereading 1:19-28, day 1. (19) And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites in order that they ...read more

Our God Is A Great Warrior (Joshua 10:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022

It's maybe more helpful to describe God as the "More Powerful One," than to call him "All-Powerful." We have good theology, but we talk about God in ways that make talk of "omnipotence" pointless. God has your back. And God fights for you.

Joshua 10 is complicated, and I'm not sure how to teach it. Normally, the way stories work, is that there is a flow to them-- an order. One thing naturally leads to another, which leads to another. Stories look like life looks. Everything happens in sequence. In chapter 10, AJ bends the ...read more

Be Ready For The Wedding! Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 29, 2022

Valentine's Day: The relationship between Christ and the church is often expressed in terms of a wedding, from the proposal to the ceremony. While we wait for the bridegroom, we must set our heart on fulfilling His passions.

At Valentine’s Day we often think about love, romantic love that is; and one of the most beautiful images that come to mind is a wedding ceremony. Next to that might be the engagement, where a man gets down on one knee for the proposal, while the woman listens to his expression of undying love and ...read more

Jacob-He Lost More Than He Gained Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 3, 2022

Rebekah, mother of Esau and Jacob, wanted Jacob to have the paternal blessing which Isaac was going to bestow on Esau. She developed a plan for Jacob to get it--and they went through with it. Results? Bad!

Introduction: Jacob had already purchased Esau’s birthright (some might say, swindled Esau out of it) some years before this event took place. Now, with his mother Rebekah’s help, he was about to swindle his father, Isaac, out of Esau’s blessing. Jacob got the blessing, but he lost more than ever ...read more

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 19, 2021
