Becoming All Things

The Asecension Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 13, 2021

There are three events in the life of Christ that get an awful lot of publicity: the birth of Jesus, the death of Jesus, and the resurrection of Jesus. We have recognized holidays for each of these: Christmas, Good Friday, and we have Easter. But the Ascension of Jesus is neglected by comparison.

God Has A Way About Him Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Aug 15, 2022

Christians seem to really like to explain God. We seem to have an answer for everything, no matter what the question is; sometimes those explanations come from scripture, sometimes they come from theologians and theories, but we seem to have the answer. Do we always have to have the answer?

The Making Of A Faithful People (Joshua 5:1-12) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 22, 2021

Joshua isn't simply about the conquest of Canaan. God is shaping his people, into truly becoming "his" people. (They'd been neglecting circumcision, and the Passover.)

Silas Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 31, 2021

Not everyone liked what Paul and Silas were doing, so they imprisoned them. Despite all the intricate and demanding things they experienced, they never complained. On the contrary, songs of praise were heard from the darkest dungeon where they were being held.

Silas Paul settled in Antioch, where he continued to work with the people to live a happy life by the gospel. However, Paul felt that the Holy Spirit was working in the Church, so that it was time to go out and spread the gospel of Jesus. So he went out to be a missionary, and on one of his ...read more

Live Carefully (Cities Of Refuge; Numbers 35:1-34; Joshua 20:1-9) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 22, 2022
