The study of heaven has been a much-neglected theme. What is it? Who will be there? What will it be like? By request, today we are going to try and answer these questions as best we can by going to the Scriptures. None of us have been to heaven yet but we do know what…
Heaven
The study of heaven has been a much-neglected theme. What is it? Who will be there? What will it be like? By request, this Sunday we are going to try and answer these questions as best we can by going to the Scriptures. None of us have been to heaven yet but we do know…
Genesis 46:34
Genesis 46:34 (NASB) you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock since our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.’ Genesis 46 includes three basic sections.

The Women and the Resurrection
Matthew 28:8 (ESV) So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. “They” refers to the women who met the angel at the tomb early on that resurrection Sunday.

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…
7 Things About Bethlehem
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…
The Miracles of Jesus
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…
