Our God Is A Great Warrior (Joshua 10:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022

It's maybe more helpful to describe God as the "More Powerful One," than to call him "All-Powerful." We have good theology, but we talk about God in ways that make talk of "omnipotence" pointless. God has your back. And God fights for you.

Joshua 10 is complicated, and I'm not sure how to teach it. Normally, the way stories work, is that there is a flow to them-- an order. One thing naturally leads to another, which leads to another. Stories look like life looks. Everything happens in sequence. In chapter 10, AJ bends the ...read more

The Holy Spirit - Part 9 Of 9 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 6, 2017

This final part of the 9-part series examines various ways we can set ourselves in opposition to the Holy Spirit, the Spirit's role as intercessor, and the vitally important question, "How can I know that I have the Holy Spirit in me?"

This nine-part series was originally developed for a class environment, and later adapted for use in a prison ministry conducted via correspondence.

Does God Ordain/Allow Evil And Suffering?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 12, 2022

Within the church, there is a belief that everything is under the direct sovereign control of God, therefore He ordains what satan and his minions do.

It is also believed that when people get sick or suffer horrible tragedies, it is the will of God because He "allowed/ordained" it. God is the Holy and transcendent one. He is sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. He knows all things past, present, and ...read more

Sweet Temptation Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 23, 2022

Ah ... free will. The ability to choose/decide for ourselves what is right and good and what isn't. However, as Solomon points out, we also got 'temptation' along with it and he beautifully illustrates the tension of temptation in Proverbs 9 between Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly.

Ah … it’s a familiar story. Eve is strolling through the beautiful Garden of Eden when she is surprised by a talking snake. “Hey, how ya doing?” “Fine.” “What ya doin?” “Oh, Adam and I are just walking around … taking in the beauty of God’s creation.” “Oh, yeah? Lovely. Say, what about ...read more
