Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 13, 2013

Comparing the response of Moses (Numbers 11:4-15) to how Jesus responded (Matthew 14:13-21) after learning John the Baptist was executed. An appropriate response to stress and adversity comes through a deep, abiding relationship with God the Father.

God Bless You

Contributed by Grant Van Boeschoten on Apr 5, 2017

Our text today is often used as the benediction at the end of the service. It is taken from Numbers 6:22-27. I want to show both the meaning to this blessing as well as examples of how God throughout time has enacted this blessing on His people.

Some fun with origins to start the message. “God Bless You” - AD 590 Pope Gregory I commanded unending prayer and to say God bless you after a person sneezed, since sneezing was one of the first signs of the plague “Good Bye” - from 1565, the original phrase was “God be with ye” became contracted ...read more

Reincarnation: Is It Biblical ?

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 2, 2004
