God And Creation

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 7, 2021

Someone has said that Genesis 1:1 is read more than any verse in the Bible. This is especially true in January, since many begin the year with the determination to read the Bible through that year, but often that is as far as they get.

However, if they only read this one verse, it will tell them a great deal about the God of the Bible. This one scripture is considered to be the FOUNDATION which the Word of God is built upon. Since this is the case, is it any wonder that Genesis 1:1 is specifically targeted by those who try to ...read more

Solomon's Succinct Summary

Contributed by Robert Austin on Aug 23, 2022

As we conclude our study of this book, I want us to think back. Consider the journey that Solomon has taken us on in this book. He started off in 1:1 by saying, “Everything is futile. Everything is Vain.”

And then he walks us through all the experiences, all the pursuits, all the different ways he tried to find meaning in life. And now, after all these lessons, we come to Solomon’s Succinct Summary. His conclusion can be remembered by dividing it into 4 “R’s”, Rejoice, Remember, Reflect and ...read more

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 14, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 11:1-6 deals with Israel's tragic choice to reject Messiah and the devastation that followed in 70 AD. Choices matter and the choices we are making will lead to tragic results or life everlasting.

The New Awakening Series

Contributed by Jim Luthy on Sep 28, 2001

The alarm that went off on September 11 is opening our eyes to the problem of individualism. The only thing that will keep us from collectively rolling over in our bed of apathy is a strong call to the cross of Christ and to genuine Christian community.

Since that time, we have heard that the attacks awakened a "sleeping giant." But that leads me to some questions. If we were a "sleeping giant," why ...read more
