    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,444 views

    9th in long series on Joshua, 2nd of 2 on mass circumcision in ch.5. This deals with being a part of a family, using the well-used illustration of a flock of geese.

    Joshua 5:1-9 – Family Ties (Nowheres near an original thought, but good nonetheless...) Today I’d like to do something different. Today’s a bit different from most, so I’m putting a twist on my scripture today, out of the ordinary for me anyway. Let’s read Joshua 5:1-9. So the Israelites ...read more

    Contributed by Craig Smee on Jul 23, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,149 views

    A close look at how often we can feel ashamed of the gospel, ashamed of our brothers and sisters because we loose sight of the fact that we are to stand unashamed as Gods Army.

    I heard the story of a man, (an alcoholic, drug addict) a bum. He was saved but the hard life he had lived showed on his face. He saw a woman getting into a limousine and felt the need to witness to her. She was appalled at him. She said, "You should be ashamed of yourself". He said, "Mam, I’m am ...read more

    A short lesson on the mind of Christ. Great for a devotional or small group

    Tonight I want to talk about following the spirit inside you I grew up Baptist- no one ever really said “God told me!” “I think the Lord’s telling us to do …this!” That’s why so many church adopt “We’ve never done it that way” “That will never work” “We tried that once, it didn’t work” We ...read more
