Judah, His Failures And His Future Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 29, 2022

Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. He failed, several times, but God forgave him and gave him a future to be proud of.

Introduction: Each of Jacob’s twelve sons was different from the others. That goes without saying, as any parent of more than one child will probably agree!

Return To Me Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022

Superheroes have captured Americans’ imagination for a long time. We all know the saying, “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s Superman!” It’s not an angel coming. It’s not a prophet coming. It’s the Lord Himself coming. “It’s a prophet. It’s an angel. No, it’s the Lord.”

I invite you to find the book of Malachi with me if you will [page 954 in your pew Bibles]. Today’s Scripture You have wearied the LORD with your words. But you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them.” Or by ...read more

Suppose You Were The Devil

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 22, 2022

On some of the talk shows, like “Hannity and Colmes” on the Fox News Channel, we hear folks debating things and now and then they come to a topic that they both agree on.

To make the debate more exciting, one of them will say, "Let me play the devil’s advocate and ask you this question.” Then they will state the opposing view, to add some life to the debate. As believers, we all agree on many things when it comes to God, the Bible, and the church. Let me ...read more

Retaliation Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 19, 2022

The spirit of retaliation is natural to the unregenerate mind. It belongs to the animal part of our nature. It creeps into our earliest feelings as little children. And it is one of the most difficult of evils to overcome.

Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:38-42 (Retaliation) MATTHEW 5:38-42, NIV 38 You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone ...read more

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Ruth's Romance Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 4, 2021

The entire book of Ruth revolves around the romance of ordinary people. That is one of its purposes for being a part of the Bible. It is God's stamp of approval on the ordinary person as an instrument of His plan of history.

Nowhere does history repeat itself more often than in the realm of romance. James Madison was the forth president of the United States, and he was the chief framer of the Constitution. He was the greatest scholar among the Founding Fathers. But when it came to romance he was no big gun. In fact, ...read more
