Sermons on Returning To Israel:

Boundaries

Contributed by Steve Sheek on Mar 17, 2018

As Israel conquered Canaan, God set up physical boundaries for the tribes. At Sinai He gave them moral boundaries. The Word of God still defines boundaries. We are commanded not to move the boundary markers.

20180317 Parsha 124 Boundaries Today’s Torah portion is one of those passages that we tend to skip over or speed read through as we put our brain on pause. There are names we can’t pronounce and places we can’t locate on Google earth. And what difference does it make anyway. It certainly ...read more

Overcoming Our Reluctance Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 12, 2017

Gideon was an unlikely candidate to lead Israel against the Midianites, but God often uses the weak and inadequate. Our service to Him is not dependent upon our wisdom or ability, but it must rely on the Lord through faith.

Overcoming our Reluctance Judges 6: 11-16 Living the Christian life isn’t always easy. In fact, we are often forced to deal with difficulties and struggles. At times we surrender to defeat and feel as if we lack the ability to overcome. I am sure we have all dealt with moments of insecurity, ...read more

The Ultimate Vaccine

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 17, 2021

The Bible warns of something, or someone, like a virus (Satan). It also speaks of something, or Someone, like a vaccine (Jesus). Numbers 21, shares the vaccine for sin; which was used by the Lord on Israel and people today.

I want to begin our message this morning by talking about how a virus works; which I think is an appropriate topic, considering what we’re facing right now in our nation and the world. So, I want to start by saying that viruses do not contain the enzymes needed to carry out the chemical reactions ...read more

The Trouble With Truth

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 11, 2015

Today Jews are looking to the time when God will be worshiped by Israel once again and Jerusalem will be the center of that worship. But just as in the days of Amos a false religion will replace the true worship. Saints that time is fast approaching

Message: Today we look at a farmer who stands on the Word of God and who takes on a King who has replaced the word of God with a lie. It is really a David and Goliath kind of story but this farmer never throws a stone he just uses God’s word to cut this king down to size. This farmer goes to ...read more

Apostolic Motherhood Series

Contributed by Herman Abrahams on Oct 2, 2009

There is a side to God which is like that of a mother. Mothers feature in the lives of the Apostles. Deborah rose up in Israel as a mother to lead the nation. Timothy was trained in the Christian faith by his mother and grandmother. Spiritual mothers are

Gideon: To God Be The Glory Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 16, 2022

God used Gideon not because he was strong or a military genius, but because Gideon was weak. There was to be no doubt that the glory for the victory and deliverance of Israel goes to God. There is a hero in the Gideon story and the hero is the Lord God Almighty.

Gideon’s name is synonymous with victory against the odds. Gideon led an army of 300 elite fighting men and whipped up on an army of 135,000. When they were through the enemy had over 120,000 casualties with the remaining 15,000 running for their life. But when we really look at Judges 6-8 Gideon ...read more

Joshua, The Fulfillment Of God's Promises. Series

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Feb 7, 2025

The people of Israel were slack in taking up their inheritance in The Promised Land, are we slackers also, not taking up the freedom we can have, the abundant life we can have in Christ Jesus?

Back into the deep dive into scripture; Joshua. Joshua 14:1-6 and Joshua18:1-8. We had previously, last year, looked at Joshua and the defeat of Jericho, we had journeyed that far in the Old Testament, my first few sermons of 2025 were about living victoriously in Christ. But back to Joshua the ...read more

A Place Of Favor With God (Exodus 33:1-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2023

After the golden calf, the future between God and Israel is murky, and unsettled. Into that, enter Moses, a man who has God's favor, and who God knows by name, and who has a close relationship with God.

Today, I want to read through three separate, but related, episodes in Exodus. Each of these three, by themselves, would make a great devotional, or sermon. There's something in each of them that is worth stopping, and just thinking about. But when we combine them, like I think we are ...read more

David,-The Shepherd Boy Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 7, 2020

David was perhaps Israel's greatest king. He wasn't born into a royal family, and didn't meet the guidelines some might have expected of a king, but God chose him. And that was enough.

Introduction: David was a very colorful character in the Bible. From a humble beginning in life, God used him to accomplish many things, eventually becoming king over all Israel. Not every person will have a “shepherd-to-scepter” life or encounter, such as what happened to David. Every believer in ...read more
