    At The Last He Will Stand Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 8, 2003
    based on 46 ratings
     | 8,061 views

    We search for permanence through accomplishments, wealth, legacies; but Job discovered that he needed a Redeemer who would stand in his place and bring him a lasting relationship with God.

    Have you discovered that nothing which you call permanent really is permanent? Lots of things are called permanent, many things are described as lasting, but they aren’t. Not really. Not long ago I wanted to mark two plastic containers so that I could be sure they would stay permanently ...read more

    Covers four areas that confirm the reliability of the Bible

    CAN WE TRUST THE BIBLE? by Randy A. Croft Tonight’s question is a popular one among Christians and non-Christians alike? The Bible. Is it reliable? Is it all myth? Just good literature?

    Dan Brown couldn’t even get his front page "Facts" straight.

    Why am I doing a four week study on the Da Vinci Code? Let me open simply with these quotes and letters: "Honestly, [reading the book] shook my whole faith. I realize that the book is fiction, but much of what he wrote about seemed like it was based on historical facts aside from the ...read more

    Sophomore Or Saint? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 10, 2008
     | 5,399 views

    We tend to use our limited knowledge to bludgeon others who do not know what we know or whose behavior does not match our standards; but we are called to be in Christ first and to love them, letting behavior flow from the relationship.

    There is an old, corny story – and please don’t stop me if you have heard this one – a story about the young man who was the first in his family to go to college. In fact, he was the first in his small town to go to college. And so when he came home after his freshman year, he was the apple of ...read more

    Moles Or Souls? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,955 views

    Some of us choose darkness, like moles burrowing into the ground. Our behavior becomes obsessively demonic, for which there are consequences. The Gospel calls us to be what God has made us to be, creatures living in the light, with passion.

    Well, now, are you a mole or a soul? I want you to identify yourself, clearly and unequivocally, are you a mole or a soul? I suppose that does require a bit of explanation. A mole is a little creature that lives out its life underground, in the darkness, endlessly burrowing to and fro and making ...read more

    Scripture Introduction Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote a Sonnet some of you will have heard: “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
