What a great weekend we had at the Cloudcroft Church of Christ. On Saturday, we fed around 50 high schoolers at the 5th quarter meal following the football game. So many pitched in to provide food, drinks, cook food, transport food, and hang out and visit with the kids and school officials. Sunday began with…
The Enemy Has Been Defeated
Christ has conquered death because of His resurrection. He who was dead is now alive (Revelation 1:18). These three words—Christ conquered death—define the most important difference between Christianity and all other religions. No other religious leader ever predicted his own death and resurrection (Matthew 16:21), based his claims about himself and his teaching on that…
The Resurrection
1 Thessalonians 1:13 (NIV) We believe that Jesus died and rose again. And because of what Jesus did, God will bring back with him those who have died. Just as the heart pumps life giving blood to every part of the body, so the resurrection is the life-giving blood to our souls. The resurrection often…

The Holy Spirit
There is much made about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We need to wash away our preconceived notions and simply allow God’s Word to speak on this matter. Then we can make an honest evaluation about the work of the Holy Spirit dwelling in the Christian. A good first step is examining the original…
The Suffering Servant
Romans 12:2 tells us we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. But how many times do we show up for worship on Sunday morning with our minds in the wrong place. We think about anything and everything except what we ought to be thinking about and that is our Lord and…
Lesson on 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, 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…

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. First, Jacob and his large family…
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. Matthew identifies these women as Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (Matthew 28:1). According to Mark’s account…
