God uses the faithfulness of a woman to begin his work of bringing to fulfilment the promise to make Israel into a great nation.

Well, the story of the birth of Samuel has everything in it doesn’t it? It’d make a decent plot for a soap opera. There’s domestic strife.

Studies In Genesis: Chapters 14 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 14, 2011

This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 14 1*. And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer ...read more

Bold Hospitality Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on May 27, 2008

In our series on Stewardship we focused on many issues, one of them being hospitality and its role in the life of the church. God is a hospitable God and in our imitation of him it makes logical sense to include hospitality in our personal ministries.

BOLD HOSPITALITY As we conclude our series on Stewardship we want to look at one final aspect of managing the good gifts God has given to us.

Myths Of Salvation

Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Jan 31, 2013

There are many myths Christians believe about how to be saved. As we look into the Scripture we see these myths revealed as false and the only way to salvation through the cross of Christ.

What is a myth? A story about someone or something that some claim to be true but is usually a fable. In Minnesota we have the stories of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox. There is the belief in Poland that if you sit on a cold stone surface you will get sick and in America, many believe that if ...read more
