Don't Prolong Your Wilderness Seasons

Contributed by Glynda Lomax on Aug 9, 2018

No one enjoys being in a wilderness season. Here's how to not prolong it.

I used to take a fair number of road trips. I took personal trips, too, but I traveled with my work as well, for about ten years. I always planned my trips carefully to avoid rush hours in large cities, and to be able to stay in a safe place each night. In order to make reservations for each ...read more

Be A Visionary

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

The one point that I wish to spotlight is the fact that Caleb was a visionary with a long term vision in mind. For forty five long years Caleb waited for the promise to be fulfilled because his faith on God and His word.

We will turn our attention to Numbers 14:24, “But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.” (ESV) The focus of this message is based on the above mentioned verse.

A True Friend

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

These are the words of God spoken regarding two men Joshua and Caleb, both of whom were good friends. The question we need to ask ourselves is, ‘Do we have such true and good friends in our lives?’ Often, we don’t take time to choose these good friends.

Today’s meditation is based on Numbers 14:30, “You will not enter and occupy the land I swore to give you. The only exceptions will be Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.” (NLT) These are the words of God spoken regarding two men Joshua and Caleb, both of whom were good friends.

Holding On . . . But Letting Go – Be Steadfast In Hope And Waiting Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 14, 2022

We have a precious faith and we must hold on to it firmly. Commitment grasps that faith. Holding on to God's promises is essential. We look at the often misapplied verses of Hebrews 6 and who it was who actually let go. They are NOT Christians.

Message - Holding On But Letting Go Red Cross Hall 19 July 2014 HOLDING ON . . . BUT LETTING GO – BE STEADFAST IN HOPE AND WAITING The subject here may seem like an apparent contradiction (an oxymoron); something we hold on to but let go of it.

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 30, 2023

Obedience is a declaration against the complacency of the flesh and a commitment to a faith in the unseen.

So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried the one year plan. You were faithful with the reading plan and then you came to Leviticus.

Unanswered Prayer (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 1, 2023

God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

We have learned that God invites us to ask Him what we need (Matthew 7:7) because, number one, God wants us to be close to Him; number two, God wants us to always depend on Him; and number three, God wants to show His love to us. When we ask something from Him, we must be ready to get His ...read more

Have You Had Your Wheaties Today?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

For years we were brain-washed to believe that if we really wanted to be a champion, we had to eat a certain kind of cereal. It was later revealed that the card board containers that held these cereals, had more vitamins than the cereal itself.

Many had been misled by those television commercials with their popular endorsements. They had been told that if they would eat these cereals, they would one day be a champion. So many of the commercials today that we see, are deceiving and misleading. For example, they tell us that if we ...read more

Too Late: Decisions Which Cannot Be Undone Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 3, 2022

Many decisions are major crossroads, others less but sill significant; trying to reverse them only may make matters worse in the long run. Therefore, we need to ponder our decisions, using God-honoring caution.

Too Late: Decisions Which Cannot Be Undone (Numbers 14:20-45) 1. We make small decisions all the time, and they can affect the direction of our lives. Take this true story: “When I was a kid, my mom, my cousin, my sister, and I were all about to go to my great grandma's house from my ...read more

Casting The Vision Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

In claiming the Promised Land, the toil and strain can begin taking a toll, leading to fatigue and discouragement. We must continually recast the vision, in order to strengthen and motivate people to keep pressing on.

The book of Joshua is about the Israelites doing battle to possess the land of Canaan; and by this point in the book, Joshua had already initiated the process of claiming the Promised Land and establishing new territory for the Lord. We can actually apply what we learn from the book of Joshua to ...read more

On The Edge Of Greatness!

Contributed by Brandon Max on Jan 19, 2022

Israel found themselves "On The Edge Of Greatness" as they stood on the shores of the river Jordan. However, only Joshua and Caleb had 1) Heart to see God's Great Vision, 2) Faith to hold to God's Great Promises, and 3) Hope to look for God's Great Results.
