Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 21, 2024

Joshua chapter 5 reflects a couple of items Israel hadn't done in nearly 40 years. Israel had crossed the Jordan River, ready to claim their Promised Land, but they had to take care of a couple of items first.

Introduction: Israel had crossed over the Jordan River and now they were camping in Canaan, the Promised Land! God had kept every promise He had made to Israel. Israel, though, had not kept every promise they had made to God. One of those promises was to circumcise (definition omitted here but ...read more

Cities Of Refuge Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 1, 2022

These cities of refuge were a fore shadow of the Lord Jesus who was to come to save us, and protect us hundreds of years later. God had ordained this beautiful plan of salvation through Jesus and the city of refuge is a trailer of God's plan.

Today’s meditation is based on Numbers 35:6,“You are to give the Levites six cities of refuge to which any of you can escape if you kill someone accidentally. In addition, give them forty-two other cities” (GNB) In the above mentioned verse we understand that the Lord had commanded that six cities ...read more

From Death To Life

Contributed by Gnana Raj on Sep 4, 2021

Genesis 5 contains a genealogy. As Christians, how can we understand and preach this passage christologically? If Jesus said the Scripture speaks of Him, and this stands as part of the inspired scripture, how can we discern its Christological significance?

INTRODUCTION Greetings to you all in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. It’s a blessing to worship with you and share from God’s word. Few weeks ago, the chaplain contacted me to sign me for preaching. Since he called me, I’ve been thinking about what to preach. It’s around the same ...read more

One Accord

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2022

As a pastor I find this verse of scripture amazing. Why? Because this verse tells us two amazing things: the New Testament church was:

• IN ONE ACCORD • IN ONE PLACE. Accomplishing either one of these would be marvelous, but to accomplish both is astounding. Illus: This couldn’t be a Baptist Church!!! Can you imagine getting everyone to attend. Illus: Occasionally, many churches have a “NO EXCUSE SUNDAY,” trying to get ...read more

Christ And The Law - Matthew 5:17-18 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 20, 2024

Critics often accuse Christians of picking and choosing which parts of the Old Testament we consider binding today. Why do we appeal to the prohibition on homosexuality, and yet we don’t put an incorrigible child to death by stoning?

Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until ...read more

Paul Preaches In Rome Series

Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Aug 8, 2025

The Book of Acts ends, not with a period, but with a comma. We don’t get a tidy conclusion to Paul’s story, but we do get a powerful reminder that the mission of the Church is far from over.

Has God Changed?

Contributed by Danny Mccormick on Mar 29, 2003

Are there two Gods in the Bible, one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament?

Has God Changed? I was visiting a bible study newsgroup the other day and came across the header ‘Does God Change?’ That is a good question. Many people may come up with many different initial answers. Seemingly, contradictory scriptural references abound within the Bible. Can we find an answer to ...read more
