When God Saves His People From Themselves (Joshua 22:1-34) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Everyone in this story does what's right, and it almost leads to tragedy. God steps in, faithfully, to make sure it ends well.

Most movies that you go to see in theatres share a similar framework. Something bad happens, or has happened, at the start of the movie, that leads to tension and conflict. Eventually, there's a big climactic scene near the end of the movie where everything gets resolved. At this point, the ...read more

He Who Has Ears To Hear Let Him Hear

Contributed by Meshak Dayanand on Feb 21, 2021

But if you concentrate, pay attention, you will all really realise that all through these years even you failed to understand the real hidden blessings in the Bible.

As I was growing in the knowledge of Bible, whenever I came across this phrase I used to think Jesus used this phrase in a sarcastic way. But today when I read this phrase I really mean, that I had failed to understand the heart of Jesus in using this phrase. Today also many must be wondering why ...read more

The Eagle Life Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

All who trust in Jesus Christ as Savior have a great adventure in flight in the future. God expects us to be preparing now for this adventure in the heights by living an exalted life, or, as our text suggests, and eagle like life.

Our King's Glad Face Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

Palm Sunday is a day of great paradox, for it was a day of such contrasting emotions. Jesus was such a glad king; such a sad king, and such a mad king.

The final week of the life of Abraham Lincoln has an amazing parallel to that of the final week of Jesus. From Palm Sunday to Good Friday is only 5 days, yet in that 5 days we go from the scene of the triumphal entry of the King to the scene of the tragic exit of the King on the cross. Listen to ...read more
