Standing Between The Living And The Dead

Contributed by James May on Feb 24, 2013

Aaron stood between the living and the dead to stop the plague of death that swept through the rebellious camp of Israel. Rebellion against God's authority brings death. Jesus is our Mediator today, standing between the living and the dead as the only w

Moses’ Disobedience

Contributed by John Lowe on May 13, 2015

This time they are complaining that there isn’t enough water for the people. This murmuring led to mutiny, so they came together against Moses and Aaron. They had finally come to the point where they took up arms against their leaders.

Holding On . . . But Letting Go – Be Steadfast In Hope And Waiting Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 14, 2022

We have a precious faith and we must hold on to it firmly. Commitment grasps that faith. Holding on to God's promises is essential. We look at the often misapplied verses of Hebrews 6 and who it was who actually let go. They are NOT Christians.

Message - Holding On But Letting Go Red Cross Hall 19 July 2014 HOLDING ON . . . BUT LETTING GO – BE STEADFAST IN HOPE AND WAITING The subject here may seem like an apparent contradiction (an oxymoron); something we hold on to but let go of it.

Jesus Fulfills The Feasts - Part 2 Series

Questions In Genesis (Answers In The Gospels)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 31, 2024

Genesis does not give us the final answers. Rather it poses a lot of questions and mysteries which are only answered later in the Gospels. Let's look at some of those questions.

Excellent resources are the ministry of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Research Institute. However, there are questions in Genesis not answered until the Gospels. Let’s look at some of those questions. At creation, God described humanity as “very good.” Are we now totally depraved or ...read more
