God Is The Lion-Killer (Nahum 2:1-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 12, 2022

Our Memorial Convocations Are More Than Nostalgia

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 28, 2025

The False Prophets Of Nehemiah’s Day Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 10, 2025

As strange as it may sound, even after years of captivity there were false prophets in the land of Israel. Nehemiah had to deal not only with rebuilding Jerusalem but also with a number of these false prophets!

Introduction: False prophets didn’t die out when all Israel was carried off to captivity. At least two are mentioned by name, plus there was an unspecified group of other false prophets. All of them had one common goal, though, and that was to get Nehemiah discouraged, or as he put it, “[they] ...read more

Life Is A Series Of Choices (Numbers 14:1-38) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 3, 2025

The fathers of Israel have to make a choice about if they will listen to the voices with faith, or the voices who fear. They make the wrong choice, and now they and their sons will miss God's best.

Last week, we read the story about how Moses, at God's command, sent 12 men into the promised land to explore it. Before Moses sent them, he specifically asked them to bring back a report about the people living there-- are they strong, or weak, are they few, or many? Are their cities ...read more

The Death Of Saul And The Life Of Christ Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Apr 27, 2003

In the short term Saul’s reign was a failure. But in the longer term God had a king in mind for Israel, who, through his death and resurrection, would bring the salvation, the leadership, the rule that the nation needed and who, in fact, would extend that

Well, today we come to the end of the history of Saul, Israel’s first king. The question that faces us as we think about the life of Saul, is just how much of a failure was it? And what’s more, did God make a mistake in making him king? In fact, should God have refused the Israelites request for a ...read more

Sermon # 37 - Excuses People Give Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 27, 2024

Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh. There are many others in the bible who gave excuses and the question is “Are we also giving excuses?” or “Are we fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus and leading others into His kingdom?”

We read in Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more
