No Excuse Sunday “i’m Out Of Peanut Butter”

Contributed by Bruce Lee on Aug 31, 2015

What is your favorite excuse temptation for not coming to Church? One of the best reasons to come to church is the old rugged cross. (We increased our worship attendance by twenty percent by promoting this "No Excuse Sunday.")

“I’m Out of Peanut Butter” “But Caleb tried to encourage the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said.” We can certainly conquer it!” But the other men who had explored the land with him answered, ...read more

How many of you sit through the credits at the end of a movie? Chances are you haven’t.

The Snake On The Pole

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010

Let nothing--nothing!--turn your attention from your snake on the pole--let nothing distract you from your Savior on the cross. Through such seemingly silly ways, God gives to you--not a snake on the pole--but His Son on the cross.

Introduction That whole snake-on-a-pole thing must have sounded insane to some of the Israelites. Stare at a bronze serpent and you’ll be healed? That sounds ridiculous. It must’ve sounded just silly enough that some Israelites started looking for more reasonable solutions to the ...read more

Why The Inner Circle Fights

Contributed by Raymond Watson on Jan 27, 2009

Did you ever run into difficulty with those that are close to you? Did you ever think that you were the only one that this happened to. Well you are not alone, that same thing happened to Moses and the God’s Word can show light on why this happens.

There have been many times that leaders have faced criticism from those that are closest to them. Just when things seem to be going right a left hook, out of nowhere puts things out of whack. There are many times that the leader looks to stop and give up. Others put on determination and ...read more

Cities Of Refuge Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 1, 2022

These cities of refuge were a fore shadow of the Lord Jesus who was to come to save us, and protect us hundreds of years later. God had ordained this beautiful plan of salvation through Jesus and the city of refuge is a trailer of God's plan.

Today’s meditation is based on Numbers 35:6,“You are to give the Levites six cities of refuge to which any of you can escape if you kill someone accidentally. In addition, give them forty-two other cities” (GNB) In the above mentioned verse we understand that the Lord had commanded that six cities ...read more

We’re starting a new series this morning- Wild & Wacky Totally True Bible Stories. As the title indicates, we’re going to look at some highly unusual events that often get overlooked when sermon planning because they’re so strange. Today’s passage is no exception. As we prepare to read, ...read more

God's Donkey

Contributed by Mark Holdcroft on Mar 13, 2007

I have an ambition... I want to be a donkey. Not just any old donkey. I want to be God’s donkey. Why not make it your ambition as well?

God’s Donkey I want to tell you of one of my ambitions today. It is not an ambition that I have told many people about. In fact, it is an ambition that I have only recently had. It is an ambition that God has laid upon my heart. Some of you may feel that I have already fulfilled this ...read more

First Person presentation of Joshua describing his relationship with Moses. This was a powerful message that spoke of the lessons Joshua may have learned from his father figure - Moses.

There are several websites that will allow you to hear the sound of the Shofar, but I found that I was able to make a reasonable sound from the horn with very little effort.

What Can A Donkey Teach A Jackass?

Contributed by James Groce on Feb 20, 2002

What an amazing and terrifying thought! To deliberately and purposefully oppose the will of God is to make God your adversary.

--------------------------------------- 21 So Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab. 22 Then God’s anger was kindled because he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the way to oppose him.

The Budding Of Aaron's Rod

Contributed by William Yates on Dec 28, 2003

In this message we see that Aaron carried with him a rod that became alive and fruitful. What is it that the world sees us as believers carry? That which is dead or that which is living?
