  • Genesis Chapter Forty-Two

    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Apr 24, 2024
     | 11 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Forty-Two. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER FORTY-TWO OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that the brothers of Joseph go to Egypt to buy grain. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 42 Jacob sends his sons into Egypt to buy corn, but keeps Benjamin at home. Joseph knows his brethren, though they know not him. He ...read more

  • Knowing God's Heartbeat

    David knew God’s heartbeat at its best. He was a worshiper, gifted songwriter, and musician, creating many worshipful moments in the presence of God. He was called a man after God’s own heart.

    Opening illustration: While ministering in the Middle East, my wife, Maureena, and I experienced the heartbeat of God almost every day. We were so blessed to have heard Him speak and guide us along life’s path. As we followed after His heart and heeded His voice, He would bring about many blessings ...read more

  • Christ Vs Traditions (Colossians 2)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 23, 2024

    All of us have things inside of us that could destroy the mission, that threaten to eat up our purpose and our goals and our life.

    What are you here for? Is there not a cause? Opening illustration: My wife and I pioneered and were instrumental in reviving the underground church in the Middle East. We served there for 14 years. No news media will ever tell you that the Spirit of God is moving in a powerful way in the Middle ...read more

  • Give Thanks

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 23, 2024
     | 60 views

    Paul is clearly talking about unity in the church. He is talking about the kind of harmony that should exist among those people who really love the Lord, among those people in whom the Holy Spirit is living.

    Opening illustration: Our power is shut off, and suddenly we become thankful for electricity. Our garbage is not picked up, and suddenly we become thankful for the garbage collector’s weekly stop. A good friend dies, and suddenly we discover how much he meant to us. Our water becomes too polluted ...read more
