Studies In Genesis: Chapter 22 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 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 22 1. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and ...read more

Five Plus Two Does Not Equal Seven

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 10, 2015

Following Jesus is a radical lifestyle, and Jesus asks us if we are willing to do the same. Are we willing to give up some of what we have, that others might not go hungry? Are we willing to give out of what God has given to us

Have you ever heard of the saying, “Every dark cloud has a silver lining”? If so, then the story of the loaves and fishes is a good example. Let me explain. This story happens just after the death of John the Baptist. When Jesus heard that his cousin was beheaded, he did what some of ...read more

I Am The Resurrection And The Life

Contributed by Joe Birdsall on Apr 2, 2015

This is a sermon for Easter 2015. It is about death and references the resurrection of Lazarus. Jesus gives us victory over death.

When Jesus was on the earth, he had many people who wanted to be around him. He also had people who hated him and wanted him dead. On the last day of his life, it was hard to tell which group was which. But Jesus had friends. He had people that believed in him and what he was doing. He had a ...read more

The Woman At The Well

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 2, 2019

A woman who was despised by the Jews and the Samaritans finds living water at the well on a hot afternoon. And she becomes an evangelist for the Lord. Intriguing and example-setting yet today for all of us.

Today, let’s talk about another woman who was saved by the power of Jesus Christ; a woman we have all referred to as “The Woman at the Well.” We find her story in the 4th chapter of the book of JOHN. As we read the Gospels, we see that Jesus’ approach to proclaiming the Good News was decidedly ...read more
