The Death Of Moses Series

Moses is great, but he taught us one is coming worthy of greater honor. God used a tiny baby drawn from the water to deliver Egypt. One day God will send the messiah, Jesus Christ to deliver His people from sin.

New Wine And New Wineskins

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

In a brewery, new wine is poured into new wineskins. After the wine has fermented for some time in the old wineskins, the old wineskins become dry, hard, and brittle.

But new wine must be put into new wineskins.” Mark 2:22 In a brewery, new wine is poured into new wineskins. After the wine has fermented for some time in the ...read more

Lacking Faith To Lead (Exodus 4)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 7, 2024

Do we have self-doubt instead of faith in God? Let's look at Exodus 4.

Can humility and self-doubt cause us to doubt God? Was God angry with Moses' lack of faith? Do we have doubts about ourselves? Do we trust that God can use an imperfect person such as us? Let's look at Exodus 4. Did Moses doubt that he would be believed? Do we also doubt, afraid to share ...read more

Livestock Plague, Boils & Hail (Exodus 9)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 14, 2024

Is God patient with short lived repentance, giving Pharaoh every chance? Let's look at Exodus 9.

Was Pharaoh’s repentance short lived, like a recovering addict, like a dog that returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, that returns to wallow in the mire (2 Peter 2:22)? If God did not give up on Pharaoh, will He easily give up on us? Let’s look at Exodus 9. Livestock ...read more

Help In The Storm

God is able to help us in the difficulties of everyday life.

In coming to the disciples across the water, Jesus had literally said, "It is I Am".

But They Could Not...

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 13, 2018

Despite the repeated efforts of mankind to duplicate the work of the Lord, His work is unique and man is unable to do what He does. Eventually, those who imagine they can supplant God crash up against reality, and they are revealed to be frauds.

Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All ...read more

Christ: Compassionate

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 6, 2000

Compassion comes first with Jesus.

The gospel writers did not record for us every moment of the life of Christ. At the end of his account, John tells us that “...there were also many other things which Jesus did...”.
