    Better Ask The Boss Series

    based on 46 ratings
     | 12,049 views

    The Gibeonites deceive the Israelites into a treaty because the Israelites fail to ask the Lord. We learn to involve God in our decisions, act with integrity when we make a poor decision, and trust God to redeem even those bad decisions.

    Better Ask the Boss Joshua 9 Intro: Have you ever been deceived? Have you ever gotten burned by somebody who seemed sincere, whom you trusted, and who turned out to have been lying to you all along and took advantage of you? Sadly most of us can relate all too easily. We have placed our trust ...read more

    Our Lord said, “Go into all the world & preach the good news to every creature.” What is that good news? I think it consists of two things that need to be proclaimed - that would really be “good news” to the world today.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2017) TEXT: Psalm 74:20 A. The scripture passage that I want us to consider this morning is found in the 74th Psalm. It is a beautiful &, at the same time, a tragic psalm. In it the Psalmist is speaking to the people of ...read more

    When Jesus Calls My Name

    When Jesus called Mary’s name that first Easter morning, it made a tremendous impact on her life. Jesus still calls our name and it ought to impact our lives in a similar way.

    As we go through life, many different people call our name. And it’s amazing to me just how many different messages that can be conveyed to us, depending on just how people call our name: • When we’re growing up, our parents call our name. Sometimes that is done in a very calm, gentle, loving ...read more

    God is generous and invites us to pray for our needs.

    Over the last four weeks, we have been focusing on the Lord’s Prayer as Jesus’ model for our prayers through our series, “Lord, Teach Us to Pray.” So far we have looked at three areas of prayer: relationship, honoring, and yielding.

    There is a spiritual battle going on and we need to ask for God’s protection to equip us with armor for the battle.

    Over the last five weeks, we have been in a series on prayer called “Lord, Teach Us to Pray.” We have been focusing on the Lord’s Prayer as Jesus’ primary teaching for us on how to model our prayers, not to be legalistic saying this is how you must pray, but to enhance our prayer life.

    King David takes us to the heart of prayer. David shows us a repentant heart, a trusting heart, and a longing heart.
