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…

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…

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 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 (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.
