The 70 Year Limit Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 1, 2019

We might think that the 70 years Judah spent in exile is a long time for the people to be under the anger of God. However the post exile events and interactions between God and His people demonstrates that God graciously limited His punishment to only 70 years. God is a forgiving God.

Jexit: Judah Comes Home The 70 Year Limit A sermon on Ezra 6:13-18 The last time we looked at what was happening to the returned Exiles it was the 7th December 518BC.

Three Nails

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 14, 2019

Calculate The Cost

Contributed by Michael Deutsch on Jan 30, 2019

When we embrace a relationship with Jesus, we end up calculating the cost of following Him. I use a current political story to show not everything is as we think it is.

Most of you will recall that there was an incident in Washington DC, in which some students from a Catholic school were chastised, and that’s being gentle for how they treated a Native American who ...read more

The story of Esther reveals God's plans and purposes for each of us as we live out lives that are directed by God's design and will. Nothing is by accident even if we are unable to figure out what God is up to. Esther gives a good example of this concept.

Esther INTRODUCTION: A well-known theologian was once asked to prove the existence of God. He replied that he could prove God’s existence in two words: “The Jew.” From ancient history to today, many nations have attempted to exterminate God’s chosen people. ...read more
