Mount Sinai - The Commitment Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Apr 29, 2008

God asks the Hebrews for a blind commitment upfront, before He gives the Ten Commandments. God does this without apology. God does this with us as well, a commitment before we know the future.

It is 3:00 in the morning and we are waiting with other pilgrims on the back side of Saint Catherine’s Monastery at the base of mount Sinai. It is a moonless night - pitch black beyond the small light we huddle around. I wonder if I dressed warm enough, I am surprised it can be so cold in the ...read more

Reaching Children With The Gospel Of Christ

Contributed by Dan Proctor on Dec 2, 2013

Sometimes I think we fail to realize how important the children and youth are in the church, the body of Christ. We grossly underestimate their importance. They are the hope for the future growth and vitality of any local church.

It is of more value than those padded pews, chandeliers, or the woodwork of this beautiful building. In fact, it is so valuable you ...read more

Hosanna! Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 12, 2013

To the Jews, Hosanna meant "Help - Save us!" But it morphed in its meaning in a way that gives us all hope. This psalm is jammed full of Messianic references and hope for the future king of the world: Jesus.

In this psalm we see the victory brought about by the Lord for a king of Israel. It is full of Messianic references. As such I think we can also safely look at it in terms of the victory God won for us over sin through His Son Jesus. Let’s begin, though, in Mark 11, which we normally study ...read more

Jesus Walks On Water

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 16, 2012

In the mean while, the disciples were in trouble at sea, but it was only a small sample of the hardships that lay ahead for them. In the future, when they went out to preach the Gospel, they were met with hostility and persecution. But it is comforting

Jesus Walks on Water One of my favorite Bible stories is the account of Jesus walking on water. And that is what our Bible lesson is today. I want to tell you the story, even though it may already be familiar to you. It was just after the five ...read more

How God Restores Israel (Ezekiel 37:15-28)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2024

Over the course of history, empires and tyrants have attempted to eradicate the name and nation of Israel. God has continued to watch over and protect them, and in the future, make Israel the center of the new earth.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 describes the nation of Israel as a desolate valley of dry bones, devoid of life and significance. Ezekiel, like most of his fellow Israelites, had given up on the idea of ever being restored as a country. They were now in the land of Babylon, exiled from everything they had held ...read more

Answers, Not Appeasement

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 19, 2010

When our needs are real, we want genuine answers, not just appeasements. Look to self-esteem, look to the resources already present, and look to the Lord of victory for real answers.

When you need something, and you ask for it, what do you expect? Do you expect an answer or an appeasement? Do you expect a clear-cut, usable answer to your request, or are you satisfied if you are just told, well, have a nice day? When you need something, and you ask for it, which really satisfies ...read more

Contributed by Ronnie Morris on Jul 8, 2007

. There is hardly a more precise picture of the work of Christ on the cross, than is found here in this body of scripture. We can best glean the truths from these verses by focusing on the prisoners’ failure, their friend, and their future.
