A Futile Effort Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 13, 2019

God spoke to Jonah, calling him to go and cry against Nineveh. Foolishly, Jonah thought he could flee the presence of God. However, God intended for Nineveh to hear a warning, and He intended Jonah to deliver that warning. It is futile to try and flee God's presence!

A Futile Effort Jonah 1: 1-10 Having considered the introduction for Jonah, I want to remind us of the major theme of the book. Most tend to focus solely on Jonah’s miraculous deliverance from the belly of the great fish, but that is just one scene from this account in Scripture. In fact, that ...read more

Harmony In The Home

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 15, 2020

Continuing with his call for submission to the Lord, Peter challenged believers to submit to God's given design for the home. Their submission to honor one another would provide honor unto the Lord.

Harmony in the Home 1 Peter 3: 1-7 Our text today deals with the relationships within the home. On the surface it may appear that Peter has taken a different perspective, but the overall theme he sought to convey in the latter part of chapter two continues.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2025

Now Is The Time

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 23, 2017

Israel had wandered from God, even though He sought them to return. He wanted to bless them, but they had to meet God's conditions. The church has much potential, but we too must return to the Lord.

Now is the Time Hosea 10:12 Over the past few weeks we have considered the condition of Israel and her need for repentance. God loved His people and desired to have a fulfilling relationship with them. Unfortunately they sought the ways of the world and the desires of the flesh while neglecting ...read more

The Shocking Family Background Of Jesus

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 10, 2025

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ establishes His identity as Messiah and shows God's prophecies being fulfilled. By them we see God's faithfulness, how God included people who were stigmatized, and how Jesus' life is grounded in historical reality.

Bits And Pieces Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jul 17, 2025

Before continuing, it’s worth stopping to reflect. The stories of rebellion seem to be without end. There were times of judgment, but even in those moments, God remained faithful.... This contrast between Israel’s rebellion and God’s faithfulness is what make this book so important.

July 19, 2025 Before concluding our trip through the book of Numbers, it’s worth stopping to reflect. The stories of rebellion seem to be without end.

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 3 – Judah Despised The Temple – Now All The Precious Things Have Gone - Chapter 1:7-10 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 26, 2025

Jeremiah continues to list Judah’s losses after the Babylonian invasion. All her precious things have gone; the nation is exposed in shameful defeat; the Temple which was sacred was stripped by Babylon, even the holy of holies violated.

Contributed by Boniface Simiyu on Nov 8, 2024

Gods children today are surrounded with so much politics that they get drawn into defining their mandate on earth wrongly.

Our good is not necessarily Gods good. And above all things we should remember that our definition of everything about us should be that same definition found in Gods mind: Hence despite wanting good for the nations we live in remember that Jesus lived in Israel but identified himself with his ...read more
