    Rahab: Remember The Name Series

    Read Hebrews chapter 11 hall of faith. Where is Joshua? Where is Caleb? They did not make the hall of faith list. Rahab the harlot did. She is a great Old Testament hero of the faith.

    Rahab is a harlot, a prostitute. In the footnote of my Bible it says that she is possibly the innkeeper. No, that is not a possible interpretation, and I will mention why a little later. When we come to the book of Joshua we come to a new era for the people of Israel with a new leader: Joshua. ...read more

    For World Communion Sunday: Jesus’ vision of the Kingdom is large, but the weakness of the church makes it unlikely we shall see it fulfilled. Yet we must affirm the small beginnings that are being made, even by us, for they have potential, when they are

    So how do you feel about trees? Did Hurricane Isabel change your feelings about living in a city of trees?

    Here's the problem with Christmas today: the Christmas we know is so very unlike the first Christmas was experienced by the holy family. The joy of the birth of the Christ child was soon dampened by evil. What we need to remember this Christmas is that we

    Why Won’t You, Let Jesus Bless You?

    It almost sounds to good to be true, how much God wants to bless His people. But unlike that saying in the world goes, if its to good to be true, it probably is. Its not with God, He truly loves to bless His children.

    Why won’t you let Jesus Bless You? When Jesus is a big part of your life, you can’t help but be Blessed. The longer you serve Him, the more you realize, He really does know, what He’s doing.

    Jesus has triumphed! But He had to die and rise again to win that victory. Unlike conquerors of old who were thieves and robbers who came to steal and kill and destroy Jesus came to give life, and life abundant.

    In all the Earth’s history there have been the conquerors and the conquered. Among some of the more famous conquerors are these: Genghis Khan, Alexander The Great, Cyrus The Great, Attila the Hun and Julius Caesar. While these conquerors varied in terms of greatness and success, they shared in ...read more

    Dealing With Disappointment

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 4,810 views

    We’ve all been disappointed at times in life. Disappointment can only happen if there is some kind of expectation. When that expectation is not met, disappointment occurs. Unlike discouragement, disappointment is not a sin. Even Jesus was disappointed at times with the disciples.

    Many have set out to accomplish great things, but have been disappointed in the outcome. It is said that Alexander the Great wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. Alexander was disappointed. Hugo Grotius, the father of modern international law, said, “I have accomplished nothing ...read more

    There are many remarkable conversion stories in the Bible, but none as remarkable at the thief on the cross—the most unlikely person ever to ask to go to heaven. This sermon explains why he had the audacity to ask this every thing of Christ on the cross.
