The Other Thief

Contributed by Rodney Johnson Sr., on May 8, 2012

The other thief shifts our focus from the more familiar thief. We know the one that ask Christ for a memorial. But what about the "the other thief" who died insulting the Lord?

The text teaches many lessons. Let’s consider the following thoughts: I. There are Only Two Types of People in the World: believers and unbelievers. II. There is no Salvation in Physical Closeness to Jesus. (The other thief hung next to Christ without accepting Him) He hung next to the "bread of ...read more

Joel - Rend Your Heart Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 4, 2013

The Saddest Word Series

Contributed by Jim Kilson on May 27, 2014

Part 2 of 8 in a series covering words in the Bible that are all too often overlooked or ignored.

INTRODUCTION: So what is the “saddest” word in the Bible? We mentioned it last week, so I guess we could call this a “test.” If we were to ask, again the answers would be as diverse as the people answering the question. Some would say death, fear, hate, or even lost… ...read more

What's Buried Under Your Tent?

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 24, 2017

Like Achan we may think our sin will not be uncovered--even by God. But we need to remember that nothing can be hidden from God and the guilt of our sins still stands. This account leads us to confess our sins and turn in faith to Christ forgiveness!

Soon after they fell into sin Adam and Eve tried to hide their guilt behind coverings made of fig leaves. Later because of their sin they also vainly attempted to hide themselves from God. Adam and Eve’s son Cain thought he could hide the guilt of shedding his brother’s innocent blood by claiming ...read more

When God Changes His Mind (Jonah 3:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 8, 2022

The king of Assyria knows that there's a chance that God will change his mind, and not bring about the promised judgment. God prefers to forgive, and bless. For three chapters in a row, God has shown mercy, not judgment.

The book of Jonah began in a surprising way. Yahweh called Yonah to go to Ninevah, and Yonah disobeyed. This is not what prophets do. Prophets obey. But Yonah ran the wrong direction, to the end of the known world, at Tarshish. When that didn't work, he chose death over Yahweh. He refused ...read more
