Just Like Us (Part Four)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 3, 2019

Last week we looked at Samson. Samson was physically strong but in some ways he was spiritually weak. We, too can be strong in some areas but weak in others. Today, we'll look at Elijah. He was bold and courageous...well, most of the time.

No Graven Image: The Curse Of Idolatry Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 22, 2022

It Is Time To Repair All The Broken Altars In Your Life

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

I continue messages on our trip to Israel. Last time we looked at Jeremiah who suffered for preaching the Word. Today the Hebrews crossed the Jordan and erected an altar in Gilgal about 3 miles from Jericho. Elijah did the same at Mt. Carmel where we visited. What makes an altar important?
