Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 26, 2021

Casting The Vision Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

In claiming the Promised Land, the toil and strain can begin taking a toll, leading to fatigue and discouragement. We must continually recast the vision, in order to strengthen and motivate people to keep pressing on.

Possessing With Confidence Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

Caleb remembered God’s promise, put his hope in it, and allowed it to become the fuel that fanned the flame of faith. Hope is the very thing that strengthens our faith, and provides the confidence to possess the Promised Land.

Everyone in this story does what's right, and it almost leads to tragedy. God steps in, faithfully, to make sure it ends well.

Eventually, there's a big climactic scene near the end of the movie where everything gets resolved. At this point, the ...read more

Unity

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 23, 2021

The unity of followers is one of the most important - and yet problematic - charisteristics of the disciples. Jesus prayed for it the last night he would be with his chosen disciples. Yet since then the church has been characterized in the eyes of the world as riddled with division and strife.

The Pollution Scheme Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Nov 18, 2021

The salvation from sin that God bestows through His Son, Jesus Christ, is likened to water. The devil can sometimes muddy the water and cause pain and confusion, as he attempts to pollute the living water within us.

Jesus calls the quickening gift of the Spirit “living water” because mere human nature is . . . barren of all virtue by the crimes of the devil. - Cyril of Alexandria(1) In reference to the arrival of the Messiah, the prophet Isaiah declared, “For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and ...read more
