Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Mar 8, 2021

We must understand that the Old Testament is not written just to fill up space in the Bible but is written to instruct and inform us of what to do and not do. Romans 15:4 “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning.”

Being stubborn can be a good or bad thing, depending on: (1) if you're right, and (2) if you are stubborn in the right way, with love, and gentleness.

Take Off One Sandal-- The Place Your (Two) Feet Touch Is Holy (Joshua 5:13-6:27) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 23, 2021

Why one sandal? And what does "holy" mean here, and in general?

Last week, AJ (Author of Joshua) began chapter 5 by messing with us. He reminded us that all the kings of the land were terrified by the Israelites, and their hearts had melted. It was then, at that time, that Yahweh commanded Joshua to make swords. We were all excited, thinking, NOW. NOW ...read more

When God Brings The Hail (Exodus 9:13-35) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2022

(1) Maybe the best way to appreciate how "big" God is, is to go outside. (2) Maybe not all the Egyptians are forever, hopelessly, stubborn.

Before we start reading our passage this morning, think about the worst storms you've ever been in. Try to remember the biggest rain storms, and the thunder, and the hail, and the blizzards. When I do this, I tend to think about four stories, two of which I'll share. One day, when I ...read more

Contributed by Stuart Guthrie on Aug 20, 2021

The Explanation of the WordThe Explanation of The introduction to the book of John

John 1:1-5 The Explanation of the Word Introduction. When we try to get an overall perspective of the Gospel of John, the most common way that we find the book divided, is that it divides fairly evenly down in the middle. The first half of the Gospel of John splits (from chapters 1-12) and is ...read more

17) Reverencing God In Prayer Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Jan 17, 2022

In The Lord's Prayer Jesus begins in recognising: Who God Is... Where God is at... and What His name Represents. In other words He acknowledges: 1) The Person; 2) The Place; And 3) The Position of our Lord. Let us now look to His example in Prayer.

What If The Fields Are White? (John 4:27-42) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 20, 2022

If they are, we need to be far more bold, in intentional, about pointing people to Jesus. Bonus discussion of how Greek imperfect verbs work.

Today's message was a little short, so I'm going to try to cheat a little at the start, and explain something that may open up the Bible to you in really unexpected ways. And then, I'll try to show you a little how it works, and how cool this is, as I go through today's passage. ...read more

God Made You To Rule (Psalm 8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 22, 2022

Our God shares his power, and dominion, with us. He gave the world to us, that we would rule over it (Psalm 115:16). (And so we praise Him).

We continue our "sons of God" series today by working our way through Psalm 8. This psalm, is a great psalm. It has a lot to say about who God is, what He is doing, and what God created us to be. We read it, and it makes us think backward to Genesis, and forward to Hebrews, and maybe ...read more

Will You Stay Or Will You Go Now? (John 6:60-71) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 31, 2022

Chapter 6 has moved from huge crowds trying to make Jesus king, down to only 12. It's all falling apart, maybe. The question is, will you join the Judeans, and walk away from Jesus, or abide with Christ?

This week, we will make our final push to get through John 6. We were supposed to read this entire chapter at once, as a single story. But instead, it took me four weeks. Let's start this morning, one last time, at John 6:22. This picks up our story after Jesus fed the 5,000 people, and ...read more

23) – "Deliver Us From Evil” Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 4, 2022

The Foolhardy Faith Of Jephthah Series

Contributed by Thomas Fortini on Nov 2, 2020

God honor’s faith, even though at times it is exercised in a somewhat short-sighted, impulsive, rash, and venturesome way. But if we do so, it is never without consequences! The story of Jephthah reminds us of that.

I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who ...read more
