Do We Want To Be Like Other Nations?

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jan 17, 2017

America may change some aspects of government this election but it will not change the fact that the people remain in rebellion to God. We like so many other countries in the world are living out the cycle of sin as it is clearly displayed.

Message: We have been witness to a national election in America. It was a very volatile and divisive election. What we saw played out in the United States is as old as time. The Bible points us to a time when Israel wanted to be like other nations. We see in their actions ancient facts ...read more

The Government Of The Promised Son, Part 1 (Isaiah 9:6-7)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 5, 2024

Isaiah's writings contain numerous references to the rule and person of God's Messiah. There are two specific passages worth examining. The first deals with His rule as King. The other deals with the righteous kingdom He will create and rule over forever in peace and joy.

There are verses in the Bible that bring joy and peace to the troubled soul. There are verses which give us the assurance that the promises of God are true and faithful. There are those verses which give us the affirmation that God has given us mercy and salvation we do not deserve, yet in HIs ...read more

Caleb Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 21, 2020

Such a small word … just three letters … b-u-t. A small word that we use a hundred times or more a day. “But” … it’s a word that can have dire consequences. Imagine getting hard labor for 40 years for one word … “but” … “b-u-t” … and not just for you but for your whole family too.

You could drop a quarter in it and tell if were heads or tails when it hit the bottom. And cold!! They had two diving ...read more
