A Hasty Judgment (Joshua 22)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 25, 2025

How easy is it to make a hasty judgment without complete evidence? Let's begin in Joshua 22.

Have we ever made a false judgment based upon incomplete evidence? Let’s begin in Joshua 22. Were the two and a half tribes faithful in helping their brethren conquer the land?

Jumping To Conclusions Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

The friends of Job explained life's sufferings, and specifically Job's sufferings, as very simple and obvious. They said there is no mystery here at all. It is clear as a bell that suffering is God's judgment on the sinner. Job is suffering, therefore, Job is a sinner.

There is a poem that I have enjoyed for many years, but I could never see how it could be used in a sermon, until I began to study the friends of Job. I want to share it with you, for it both describes them, and gives us insight into why they could be so wrong when they were so often right. It is ...read more

How To Be An Attractive Youth Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

It is then that the mirror, mirror on the wall become the idol of them all. They become very sensitive about their body, ...read more

The Day Of Judgment Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

We must open our spiritual eyes and recognize that there are thousands of victories being won everyday around the world. We are referring to the victories of light over darkness. The Christian must balance his pessimism concerning the world with his optimism concerning the kingdom of God.

The optimist says the world is everyday in every way getting better and better. The pessimist says the world isn’t what it used to be, but is going to the dogs. The Christian realist says they are both right, because there are two kingdoms of reality. There is the world order, or that realm in ...read more
