Issachar And Zebulun Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2022

The sages read Genesis 49:13-15 very differently. They glorified Issachar while explaining away Zebulun's calm superiority in a way that does not denigrate Issachar. Zebulun was an aggressive tribe on the ascendancy, but Issachar was comparatively weak.

Issachar and Zebulun Among Jacob's sons from Leah, Issachar was the fifth and Zebulun the sixth (Genesis 30:18-20). 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ...read more

Contributed by Troy Borst on Jul 13, 2022

Real Men Do Cry

Contributed by Paul Green on Mar 13, 2022

The Apostle Paul is renowned for being a woman-hating, doctrine-making, emotionless, rock hard, ice cold; Gospel preaching machine, but in reality he was a man who was never very far away from a good cry for the sake of the Gospel.

In our reading this morning the Apostle Paul is writing to the church he had planted in Philippi and he says, ‘Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In previous studies, we find all that had been prophesied about the apostle Paul had come to pass. He was taken by a mob that almost killed him, but was rescued by the chief captain who took him away from that crowd.

He was brought before a council that did not care a thing about justice. When he observed that the council was composed of both Pharisees and Sadducees, he divided the group by stating he was a Pharisee, and a firm believer in miracles and the resurrection. Since the Sadducees did not believe ...read more

The Beat Of Our Heart

Contributed by Je Layugan on Aug 3, 2023

Our heart matters to God. And our heart will either lead us towards God, or away from God. When you listen to your heart now, and every heartbeat is translated into words, what words would you hear?

A heart beats about 115,000 times each day. A heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood every day. A woman’s heart beats slightly faster than a man’s heart. Most heart attacks happen on a Monday. A heart is a symbol of love, life, or anything that is at the center of utmost ...read more

"where Is Your Vision?"

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Apr 2, 2023

Saints, your vision is the idea constantly flashing in your mind, the dream that doesn’t seem to go away, all driven by our purpose. This works together to keep us focused on what we want to accomplish for the Kingdom of God.

The Beast From The Earth: The False Prophet And His Diabolical Work (Revelation 13:11-18)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 24, 2024

The False Prophet uses false "miracles and signs" to convince the world that the Antichrist is the leader for whom they have been waiting. He is a tool of Satan used to draw people away from the truth of the Gospel and towards the certainty of hell.

The Antichrist, who was introduced in Revelation 13;1-10, will not rise to power alone. His success will result from a worldwide spiritual deception perpetuated by the man referred to in Revelation 13:11-18 as, "the beast from the earth", known as the False Prophet. He will be a ...read more

The Foolishness Of Preaching

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 25, 2018
