    9th in long series on Joshua, 2nd of 2 on mass circumcision in ch.5. This deals with being a part of a family, using the well-used illustration of a flock of geese.

    Joshua 5:1-9 – Family Ties (Nowheres near an original thought, but good nonetheless...) Today I’d like to do something different. Today’s a bit different from most, so I’m putting a twist on my scripture today, out of the ordinary for me anyway. Let’s read Joshua 5:1-9. So the Israelites ...read more

    God had promised a son, but Abraham had waited so long, he was bewildered, disappointed, and working on a "plan B." The sermon had a powerful impact on people struggling with their faith.

    OPEN: A representative of the gas company phoned the owner of an expensive new home to make an appointment for the service man to come in and light the pilot lights and adjust the furnace.

    A Dividing Peace

    The Prince of Peace was born in Bethlehem but his birth didn’t bring the peace this world longs for. Instead, he brought a sword. The peace that Jesus offers is a peace with God.

    A DIVIDING PEACE Luke 2:13-14, "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." One of the best things about Christmas has always been that people were kinder and more generous ...read more

    You reap what you sow. Galatians 6:7-9 What goes around comes around. This is a simple message, nothing too deep or complicated, but very often understated. In garden season you can only harvest what you plant. If you plant tomatoes, you will not reap potatoes. Corn-turnips, ...read more

     | 75,460 views

    The sermon was written to call us to repentance for missing for so long, restore us to the place of godly leadership and stability, and encourage us to hang in there even when the going gets tough.

    The society in which we live has neglected to teach men about their role in the home, in the church, and society. The worldly view of a man’s role is that he should provide financially for his family, but we shouldn’t expect him to be very engaged with home life. In spite of all our talk of ...read more

     | 2,384 views

    Jesus, before He died said: “ This cup is the New Covenant in my blood.” What is this “New Covenant?” This “covenant” or “contract” is full of fine print of terms and conditions. As we read this passage we learn several things about the contract. What do we learn?

    How many of you love to read contracts or “terms and conditions?” Most of us don’t pull out the most recent contract we have signed and read over the terms and conditions do we?

    Noah's Ark: A Symbol Of God's Sovereignty

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023
     | 1,611 views

    The idea for the design and building of the Ark did not originate in the mind of Noah. The Ark was God's idea and preconceived plan of rescue for anyone who would enter to escape the wrath to come. God has everything under control and will bring everything to a conclusion on His terms.

    The Bible says that Noah built the Ark, but did not come up with the idea. The Ark was from the mind and heart of God. If God had not spoken to Noah, he would have died in the flood along with his pagan neighbors. Genesis 6:8 says that Noah "found grace in the eyes of the LORD". This ...read more
