Day by Day
Sermon text: Joshua 24:15 As Joshua was passing off the scene, he challenged the Israelites to be faithful to God. They had to decide. Would they adopt the idolatry of their distant past, the paganism of the land they were conquering, or service to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? We have the same decision today.

The Daniel Prophecy
Sermon text: Daniel 8:1-4; Daniel 8:15-17; Daniel 8:26-27 Daniel’s vision concerning the empire of Greece under Alexander the Great is so precise that it compels us to consider the case for prophecy. If Daniel’s vision is truly prophecy, then we can trust that God is truly in control and has a plan for the nation of Israel and for my own life. Header image by Vinicius “amnx” Amano on Unsplash.

Jesus poured out power and privilege, even to the point of death on the cross, to build the kingdom of God. Those who imitate Him belong to that kingdom. Header image by Minu Pradeep on Unsplash.
