Let’s look at Deuteronomy 17. Should a sacrifice not have any blemish or defect? You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your ...read more

The Search For But Pickers

Contributed by Nathan Cooper on Feb 26, 2008

How many times do we use the word "but" in our everyday conversations? The children of Israel found many excuses not to trust God.

The Search For But-Pickers Numbers 13 & 14 Numbers 13:17-33 Have you ever met those people that no matter what the proposition or statement, the first word out of their mouth is “but”?

Time For Tears

Contributed by Engleburg Toney on Jan 3, 2018

Our Father abhors our sin but is drawn by our brokenness. He alone is the reader of our hearts to which in return we receive His mercy and grace!

Time For Tears It is indeed a blessing to be in the house of the Lord on the last Sabbath of 2017. Call it what you will, tradition, custom, reflection, but at each and every year’s end, I do some soul searching. I grade my life as I lived it in the passing year, and I have to tell you if I had to ...read more

Committed To Tenant Work

Contributed by Troy Borst on Oct 7, 2005

The reason is that we, the church, are those to whom the vineyard was given and we need to be committed to tenant work. We are now those to whom the vineyard is rented and God expects returns!

Deborah Series

Contributed by Mark Eberly on Mar 17, 2009
