Contributed by Charles Wall, Jr. on Aug 24, 2005

Would you love to see God as active in your life as you read about Him being in people’s lives in the Bible.

We read frequently in the Bible of God moving and even doing miraculous things in the lives of people and nations. We read these biblical stories with excitement as we observe God being so active in their lives. And yet here in modern times, at the beginning of the 21st century, we tend to think ...read more

How Long Will You Waver?

Contributed by Tony Skaff on Jul 13, 2006

As Christian believers, many times we ask this same question when we are tired from the unbelief state, ignorance and confusion of most people around us. From this story, it seems that sometimes we ourselves can decide for how long this may continue.

1stBBC How long will you waver? 1Ki 18:16-24 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah. When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, "Is it you, you troubler of Israel?"

The Solemn Responsibility Of God's Prophets (Ezekiel 3:17-21)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 8, 2024

God entrusted men such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel with the task of warning the people about the consequences of disobedience against God. It is the sacred duty of all believers to both share their faith as well as to warn others about the wrath to come.

We have looked at the Lord Jesus Christ, the center of all Bible prophecy, and His mission of redemption. The bulk of prophecy focuses upon Him as well as the future of the nation of Israel. The Scriptures describe Israel's unstable relationship with GOD in a series of rebuttals and ...read more

The battle of Jericho is not a model of military genius. It was a miracle. God called his people to foolishness to demonstrate His great power. What happened in Jericho was unique. Be ready to move ahead by faith when hearing the voice of God.

Hearing Versus Listening

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 30, 2024

Today we are going back to the OT days of Nehemiah to see how the people of that day listened or just heard God's Word. God has brought us here today, not just to hear a sermon, but to listen as God speaks to our heart.

When you come to a service like this or attend a Bible study class, do you just hear what is said or do you listen? Is there a difference? For most of us listening is our most frequently used communication skill. Listening is a very important part of communication. One study points out that ...read more

Sermon # 40 - Mercy Instead Of Judgement Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 10, 2025

Jonah freely accepted God’s mercy but wanted God’s judgement to be given the people of Nineveh. God’s word reminds us that it is not our prerogative to judge others, but rather to be merciful to them, just as God is merciful to us.

We read in Jonah 4:4, “Then the LORD said, "Do you think it is right for you to be angry?" (ERV) The God who created heaven and the earth asked Jonah the prophet, if he thought it was right to be angry with Him, very much like a parent would enquire of their child, who is upset with ...read more
