5. Dedication Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 29, 2020

Jonah’s response to his “second chance” or renewed commission is DEDICATION.

God’s first order was disobeyed. The second order was dedication. It is either dedication or disobedience in our lives. The more you lack dedication to the will of God, the more you will be disobedient. Four thoughts: I. The Spirit of Dedication 1. Jonah arose and went to Nineveh 2. The spirit of ...read more

Why Jesus Downplayed The Miracles Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 9, 2020

Jesus does back-to-back miracles: the mass feeding and then walking on water. But He downplays both miracles. Why would He do that?

WHAT JESUS WALKING ON WATER ACCOMPLISHED: Seeing this miracle strengthened the disciples’ faith in Jesus. - John 6:16-21. - Matthew 14:28-33. - The disciples have just seen Jesus multiply the loaves. It is an incredible miracle that they got to see happen up close. - That evening, Jesus sends ...read more

A Great Message Of Encouragement

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 8, 2022

At the start of 2022 most of us probably feel that the future looks very uncertain. We want to hear God's message of encouragement. As the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land, God had a great message of encouragement for them.

THE SCENE I’d like you to imagine a scene. It’s about 1500 B.C. We’re in a wilderness a little to the south of the Dead Sea in what was then Moab and is now Jordan. Around us there are people, tents, and animals. The people look tough, weather-beaten. For forty years they’ve been living as ...read more

The Three "onlys" All Worked Out (Joshua 21:43-45, 22:1-9) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 28, 2022

Joshua's book tension results from the 3 "onlys" of ch. 1. But they all work out: God is faithful, Joshua is brave, and the people obey.

When we started this study on Joshua, it was kind of overwhelming. How can you tell what you're supposed to focus on as you read? How can you tell what's important to the author? Usually what biblical authors do near the start of their books is give you some help in this. They'll ...read more

When God Saves His People From Themselves (Joshua 22:1-34) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Everyone in this story does what's right, and it almost leads to tragedy. God steps in, faithfully, to make sure it ends well.

Most movies that you go to see in theatres share a similar framework. Something bad happens, or has happened, at the start of the movie, that leads to tension and conflict. Eventually, there's a big climactic scene near the end of the movie where everything gets resolved. At this point, the ...read more

Aguanta La Tormenta

We Want A King Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021

Long before the British royalty, the Bible tells the story of Israel’s royalty. Yet, many of us know so much less about Israel’s royal line than England’s royal line.

On the birthday of “The King” Elvis Presley, I am grateful to have you join me for a study of royalty. Some people think that America may have never known “President” George Washington had he had a desire to be King George I. George Washington is our nation’s first military hero because he ...read more

Out Of Synch

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021

People can religiously get out of synch with the way that they worship as it may have deviated away from what God intended.

Preparing To Meet The Master Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 6, 2020

Much had changed since Naomi and Ruth left Moab for Bethlehem. Ruth had found favor in the eyes of Boaz, but yet she lacked security for the future. She made preparations for a meeting that would change her future.

Preparing to Meet the Master Ruth 3:1-6 We can’t begin to imagine the excitement Ruth and Naomi must’ve felt at this time. Moab had dealt very bitterly with them, leaving little hope for the future. Upon returning to Bethlehem, God had shown Himself mighty in their situation and was ...read more

Ang Karunungan Ng Katahimikan

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 15, 2020

Aalamin sa atin ng karunungan ang oras na maging tahimik at kung kailan magsalita. Kung wala kang mabuting, totoo o kapaki-pakinabang na sabihin, mas mahusay na tumahimik at walang sasabihin. Mayroon kang dalawang tainga at isang bibig — gamitin nang proporsyonal.

Ang Karunungan ng Katahimikan Mano nawa ay magsitahimik kayong lahat! At magiging inyong karunungan.! (Job 13: 5) "Ang mangmang ay nagsasalita ng lahat ng kanyang pag-iisip: nguni't ang taong pantas ay pinananatili ito hanggang sa pagkatapos." - ...read more

Gospel In A Shoebox

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 30, 2020

Some Christians put on “sneakers,” “running shoes,” “flip-flops,” and “baby-shoes” – when what we ought to be putting on is combat boots! Full of anecdotes, illustrations, and good humor.
