Now he’s away from them and he’s pointing out some problems these new believers were having. Here in ...read more

Transfiguring The Future

Contributed by Nathan Webb on Aug 16, 2023

The Transfiguration of Jesus not only shows us his glory, it gives us a commandment.

What would you do if you knew the future? If you knew what was going to happen, I would imagine that a trip to Vegas would be in order. At the least you would have a pretty cool party trick. In our Gospel today, three of the disciples get a glimpse of the future. Jesus takes Peter, James, and ...read more

God’s Power, Provision, Protection, Presence, And Peace

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on May 7, 2022

I have a prayer/blessing that I pray for friends and write on cards. “May you experience God’s Power, His Provision, His Protection, His Presence, and His Peace.” As I read through Nehemiah 9, I recognized that the Israelites had experienced and now remembered these aspects of God.

The first two chapters of Ezra tells us that the exiled people returned to the promised land. But something even more important is taking place. The Lord’s people are returning to God. Now unity among the remnant group is essential.

Musk oxen are herd animals, and groups of two or three dozen animals are sometimes led by a single female. Herds use cooperation to deal with attacks by arctic wolves. When threatened, they “circle the wagons” and array themselves with their young in the middle and their sharp horns facing outward ...read more

The Return Of Christ Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 24, 2022

When a believer dies, others are not to grieve like those who have no hope in Christ. But for believers we are grieving for ourselves and our loss, not for the person that died. This assurance believers have is because of the hope we have in Christ.

Do we know the exact time of the return of the Lord? Yes, we do! But didn’t Jesus say, “that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven” (Mathew 24:36). Yes, He did say that. Then how do we know the day and hour of the return of Christ? It is when the trumpet sounds. It is just ...read more
