Joshua and his army were asked by God to do some unusual things in order to bring down the massive walls of Jericho. Why would God ask them to do things that, from a human perspective, make no sense?

Jonah and the whale is a popular story told to children from the Bible, but there's something deeper going on than just the prophet's encounter with a big sea creature.

In a time and place where there was pressure to give in to pagan idolatry or die, three Godly men stand firmly for their God and their convictions, willing to face a fiery death. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3 shows us what it looks like to maintain unwavering allegiance in the face of danger, and what it looks like for God to rescue His own. This is the topic of discussi...

If we want to reach sinners for Christ, we need to be where the sinners are. See how Jesus did this as Scripture lays out His interaction with Matthew the tax collector and the crowd of "sinners" He ministered to.   Order a copy of my book:  Signs of the End : What Jesus Taught His Disciples in the Olivet Discourse Amazon:  https://a.co/d/0592Fozu    Please be sure to leave a review!   X: https://...

One of the wonderful things about Jesus was that He unashamedly associated Himself with people that culture wanted nothing to do with.

We live in a fast-paced society, where people are constantly busy and on the go. This kind of lifestyle is seen even in the lives of people in the church. Unfortunately, when Christians adopt this way of living, a lot of times they forget about what's most important. And what is most important? We talk about that in this episode, using Luke 10:38-42 as our guide.   Order a copy of my book:  Signs...
