    Restoration Series

    Peter blew it, that’s for certain. He denied the Lord three times. But in Chapter 21 we see the gentle way Jesus restores Peter to fellowship and purpose. He does the same for us.

    Do you ever fail Jesus? John the Apostle said “1 John 1:8-9 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” One of the most common experiences we as Christians share is the reality that we will fall. No matter how hard we try we will do things that are against he ...read more

    You don’t have to worry about clenining the fish if you don’t go fishing. Evangelism

    Let’s go fishin Matthew 4:17-4:22 I have never been any good at fishing. Perhaps, when I was a kid it seemed slow and boring. I think that was bases on the fact that I rarely caught anything.

    Faith Speaks

    I would like to ask a question. What good is faith if not acted upon?

    Romans 10:6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, `Who will ascend into heaven?’ ’’ (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7. or, " `Who will descend into the abyss?’ ’’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8. But what does it say? "The word ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 48 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2011
     | 7,429 views

    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 48 In this chapter we will see the blessings of Jacob over the sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh. We will also see ...read more
