Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 9, 2010

Some criticize him for staying in Haran saying that he fell short of the promises of God, distracted by the attraction of wealth. I don’t think he was saying, OK, HE’S DEAD! WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? But he did stay in Haran until his father died.

Part 1 - Genesis 12:1-20 (NASB) - OK, HE’S DEAD. WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? I understand the upheaval of moving to a different city.

The Extra Mile Pt 2 The Stranger Series

Contributed by Joe Hayes on Mar 15, 2010

For Too long the Church has sought to win Friends and Family and past by the Stranger. www.preaching.co.nr

The Burial Of Jesus

Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Feb 10, 2020

John 19:31-42 deals with the transition from the cross to the tomb. Two groups are involved here: the Roman soldiers, and two friendly Jewish leaders who have come to believe in Jesus as the promised Messiah.

The Burial of Jesus: John 19:31-42 Intro: Everything about the arrest, trials, beatings, death, and burial of Jesus was a continuous departure from proper protocols and basic fairness.
