    The importance of standing firm in faith, obeying God's commands, and understanding the consequences of our sins.

    Good morning, family! Today, we'll dive into the lessons found in Joshua 7:10.

    Caring And Sharing

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2022

     | 11,167 views

    Caring enough to share our love and faith meets other people’s needs, physical and spiritual; but it also meets ours as well. Whenever we look out beyond ourselves and reach out to care and share, God delivers us from our own problems.

    This morning’s message is entitled “caring and sharing.” Often when we teach on the purpose and life of the church we speak about koinonia, which is a New Testament Greek word meaning “fellowship.” However, one pastor tells us “that koinonia means caring for the poor” and that “Christian ...read more

    Just like the runners in the Boston marathon, Christians should expect that there will be, at some point, opposition that will test us—our endurance, perseverance, and our principles.

    Has anyone here this morning ever ran a marathon? A marathon is always measured at 26.2 Miles. Have you ever heard of heartbreak hill? In the Boston Marathon, at mile 20, the runners come to what is called heartbreak Hill. Heartbreak Hill is the final incline of the Boston marathon. Even though ...read more

    Frequently when we experience bad circumstances we begin feeling like God doesn’t love us or has failed to keep His Word. God's trying to teach us to trust Him no matter what our situations look like.

    DON’T PUT A QUESTION MARK WHERE GOD PUTS A PERIOD! Judges 6:13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BED FEARS 1. From childhood, a man had a terrible fear that someone was under his bed at night.

    What we are going to find today is encouragement to be thankful in the midst of hard times. And in the midst of digging into Habakkuk 3, we will also get some insight from Hannah Hurnard’s allegorical book “Hinds’ Feet on High Places.”

    This common reason for not coming to church shows two fundamental misunderstandings: 1) what is a Christian and 2) what is church. Help someone see that being a Christian means being part of a church.

    People are not going to church as much as they used to. I could give you the statistics, but I don’t think that I need to because you’ve probably personally observed or experienced it yourself. You may have seen it with your own family members, your co-workers, your friends, in the conversations ...read more
