Jochebed, A Great Mother Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Is motherhood all sacrifice and no reward? No, for nothing done in God’s will is without its reward. This just shows us the humor of God, for out of Pharaoh’s treasury is coming the support for the child who will one day set His people free.

Mother had worked hard with her little girl in teaching her a part for a church program. The little girl had gone over it again and again, but when she stood up in front of people her mouth went dry and her mind went blank. She did not know what to say.

The Immortality Of Personality Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Salvation is not complete unless the whole person is saved. Sin is what made the body a hindrance to the spirit. Sin is what led to the body's decay and death. If Jesus died to restore all that sin has robbed us of, then that has to include the body.

All of his livestock and all of his children perish is disaster. When we get to the last chapter, and the battle ...read more

Christmas Story Was In Unimpressive Surroundings - Yet A Spectacular Event

Contributed by Tim Baker on Dec 19, 2017

The birth of Christ was in an unimpressive city, with an unimpressive birthing room, with an unimpressive crib, with unimpressive visitors, for the most impressive event in human history. Why did Jesus start with such humble beginnings?

Overcoming Challenges

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

Caleb requested for the hill country that seemed tough to conquer. The reason was because Caleb, though he was eighty five years old, was one who welcomed challenges, believed he could overcome them and had no fear whatsoever.

In continuation we will meditate today on Joshua 14:12, “So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities.

The Manner In Which We Are To Pray

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

Many times we will select a small passage of scripture from the Bible for our devotional reading each day.

However, just picking a verse or two can be very dangerous. That is, we may not receive all the blessings from the scripture we may select. We must read more to discover the context of the passage. For example, one passage that is often taken out of context is what is commonly called the Lord’s ...read more
