God, What Should I Do?

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Aug 24, 2013

God already knows what is ahead of you, don’t you think you should listen to Him?

What Has Happened: Johanan warns Gedaliah that the Ammonites have sent Ishmael to kill him. But Gedaliah doesn’t believe him. Johanan offers to go kill Ishmael in secret, (I have a shovel and a alibi, maybe he didn’t say it like that but you get the point ) but ...read more

When God Says No Series

Contributed by J.d. Tutell on Apr 5, 2011

When God says "no" it's because He wants what's best for us.

Two weeks ago we looked at the story of Jonathan and his armor bearer charging the Philistines. It was one of those times in scripture when God said not just yes but maybe. Why did God say maybe?

Your Ways, Your Paths

The hardest part of any journey is the part that you have to take alone. It is especially difficult if you have not traveled the path before.

The Works Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Jun 11, 2017

The Holy Spirit has been designated as our Helper until we see our Lord and Master. But who is He? What does He want of us? How can He help?

Who is the Holy Spirit; Is He a “He”; Is He an “It”; Is He some “Force”; and why is He here? These are some of the questions that I personally or others have asked me over the years. “He” is real; “He” is the Spirit of God and of Jesus Christ and “He” is not the “Force”, as in Star Wars. “He” is ...read more

Go Thy Way: When Abram Went To Egypt Series

Jewels Of Rules Series

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Jun 2, 2020

One of the first benefits we obtained in the Garden of Eden was life itself. But, even better... the promise of never dying, actually... as long as we followed one simple rule. See... God set into motion man's Free-Will...

It is a rare person who does not like benefits. The working we do, the toiling we face, and the utter anguish we endure are all resolved when benefits follow closely behind. You may know that ‘benefits‘ is generally described as, “something that is advantageous or good.” Sometimes, even having an ...read more

Prayer (1) Gideon’s Prayer Regarding A Fleece

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 7, 2020

Most commentators criticise Gideon, feeling that his prayer demonstrates a lack of faith. But given how positively the New Testament views Gideon, we should be inclined to take a positive view of his prayer. It's a very sensible prayer, and a great example to us.

Today we’re starting a short series on prayer, and looking at a prayer which Gideon prayed. It’s in Judges 6:36-40. Introduction First, let’s look at the situation Gideon was in before we look at his prayer. We may think, ‘We pray, God answers. Simple.’ But when we look at what was going on at ...read more

God Is In The Detours Too

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 9, 2015

Life is full of surprises. With observation, we see that the Holy Spirit is as much in the detours as He is in the plans we carefully map out. Two passages in the New Testament & one in the Old demonstrate the truth of this insight.

GOD IS IN THE DETOURS TOO Prov. 3:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: DECISIONS 1. Harry and Kitty are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. 2. Max and Betty said, “You must let us in on your secret - how have you managed to stay married for so long?" 3. Harry turns to Kitty and asks, "OK for ...read more
