(NASB) Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Yesterday we got an update on the missionary…

This Wednesday in our adult Bible Study we will begin an in-depth study on the greatest miracle of Jesus, the resurrection. We will look at each gospel account to gain a deeper understanding of what the gospel writers recorded about this miraculous event. We will also look at other passages such as 1 Corinthian 15…

This Sunday we will resume our study of Joseph (and his family) from Genesis 37-50, picking up the story in Genesis 43. Summary of Genesis 43:3-14: Judah stepped forward as spokesman for the brothers. He had undoubtedly heard his father’s refusal of Reuben’s offer of surety. This role of spokesman and leader will be exercised…

The Bible does not give us a specific date for the birth of Christ, nor does it tell Christians to celebrate it. What we are told to do is live in such a way and to remember the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. One way we do this is by partaking of the emblems…

Over the past several months, in our Wednesday evening adult Bible class, we have been looking at the miracles of Jesus. The last miracle we are going to look at is the most important of all. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a miracle that transcends our human understanding and shows God’s power at work in…

Luke 17:15-16 (NIV) One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Luke saves this surprise until late in the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers (Luke 17:11-19). John 4:9 reminds us that…

Genesis 42: Lessons from Jacob’s Family on God’s Testing to Expose Hidden Sin Many people incorrectly assume that the last portion of the Book of Genesis is about Joseph. Thus, many may feel that the account is anti-climactic after Joseph’s dramatic rise from a prisoner to the second most powerful person in Egypt. But God’s…

Our Young Adult Class on Sunday mornings is very invigorating. Its a small group of young adults where those in attendance are free to ask any question they want and we will go to the Scriptures for the answer. Recently the question came up about how some abortion advocates attempt to justify the practice with…

We are currently in a sermon series of the life of Joseph in the Old Testament. So far, we have seen Joseph be hated by his own brothers (Genesis 37:1-11). Attacked and thrown into a pit by his brothers (Genesis 37:23-24). Sold into slavery by his own brothers (Genesis 37:28), prosper as a slave in…

In our Wednesday Bible Study we are looking at the miracle of Jesus healing Ten Lepers (Luke 17:11-19). Only one of the ten men Jesus cleansed returned to thank him and that man was a Samaritan (Luke 17:16). Which leads to the questions who were the Samaritans and why were they so despised by the…
