    The record of King Jehoshaphat learning about a planned invasion of Judah provides an example of how we are to respond when we feel overwhelmed and unprepared when we are attacked.

    Take your bibles and turn to 2 Chronicles 20. We’re going to start in verse 17 and then we’re going to back up and get into the chapter a little bit.

    This teaching looks at the life of Joseph and how circumstances did not prevent God from being with him and working through him.

    We’re going to look at Joseph, who was Jacob’s second youngest son. Remember how his father had given him the coat of many colors? It was a coat that set him apart from his brothers in terms of authority and rank in the family. Remember how his brothers were none too happy with him having that ...read more

    My concern is that we may become so overwhelmed by the noise of Christmas that we’ll never hear the sounds of that first Christmas night which we really ought to hear.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2013) Let me begin this message by reading aloud what should be a very familiar passage of scripture. It is Luke 2:1-7. “In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This ...read more

    Although there are some who make light of their struggle with sin, those of us who take our walk with Christ seriously are keenly aware of the reality of that struggle. It is real. And sometimes it is overwhelming.

    When you understand God’s mercy and the wonders of salvation, when you are overwhelmed by Who God is, this should make you consider surrendering Your life to Him.

    We live in troubled times, and too many are afraid, disillusioned, depressed, and generally overwhelmed by current events. It seems like the number who have abandoned the Way, and the Truth is growing.

    Has it ever occurred to you that the Bible probably ought to be rated “R”? It’s definitely not G, and parental guidance is certainly needed. I don’t think it rates an X, even though there’s an awful lot of violence, especially in the OT, and even some sexually ...read more
