Giving an Answer of Our Hope
Glenn Hoey Church of God, Faith of Abraham Cashmere, Washington
People will always question our faith, especially during difficult times.
And when we're asked, we must always be ready to answer. As we
examine some of the Bible people put in the position to answer, we see
the example of what we should say and how to answer because of our
hope. How will you respond?

G rasshopper Eyes
Wally Winner E -mail W ally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith
Piedmont, South Carolina
God had promised the children of Israel that they would receive the land
He was giving them. Twelve spies were sent out, but after looking, ten
said it was impossible. There were walls. There were giants. And they
were wrong. They saw the land with "grasshopper eyes." Are we any
different today? It seems it's always easier to see the "giants" instead of
seeing God. What territory has God given you? What's standing in your
way? Will you inherit what God has promised? Or will you turn around,
and go back?
Numbers 13:25-33; 14:1-4

L essons from Leaven
Steve Taylor E-mail Steve
Lakeshore Bible Church Tempe, Arizona Check out Steve's blog
In today's study, we see Jesus comparing the Kingdom of God to the
everyday illustration of baking bread. But what's this story really all
about? How should the Kingdom of God influence the world? How do
we minimize the world's influence in the Kingdom of God? How can we
have an impact?
Matthew 13:33-36; 1 Corinthians 5:6; Galatians 5:7-9; Luke 12:1

Can You Prove What You Believe? - Part Two
Pastor Dave Hixon E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God Tipp City, Ohio
What do our fundamental beliefs stand on? The all-knowing God of
creation has given us His word as the foundation for all truth and
knowledge. The Bible has the final say. And believing what His word
teaches is not just an opinion, it's a conviction. But it's not just enough to
have His word. We have to know it. We can't just blindly accept what
we're taught. Can you explain in detail why you believe what you believe?

T he New and Living Way
Vince Finnegan
Living Hope Community Church Latham, New York
The words "shadow," "example," "figure," "type," and "pattern" are all used
to describe the relationship the Old Covenant has to the New, especially
regarding Jesus the Christ. The High Priest, the tabernacle, its
ordinances, and service was to be a figure that looked toward Jesus
Christ's sacrificial death, as well as man's ultimate redemption and
reconciliation to God. Our perfect High Priest has entered the Holy Place
through his own blood and has brought us back into the presence of God.

P salm 110
Pastor James Ritch
Resurrection Hope Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith
Lenoir, North Carolina
There's a lot of confusion about who God and Jesus are. Some want
Jesus to be God. And much of the world walks in this deception. One of
the most frequently misquoted and misinterpreted scriptures is from
Psalm 110, a text referenced several times, including by Jesus himself.
In today's message, Pastor Ritch separates the fact from the fiction.
Psalm 110; Psalm 2; John 17:3

The Voice of Truth Broadcast: I Believe in the Completion of God's People
Pastor Jeff Fletcher Email Jeff
What does it mean to be "joint-heirs" with Christ? Before Christ, it
mattered who you were, where your place was, and who your parents
were. But Christ is the great equalizer. He has promised through his
Father a new society with no divisions. We have a living hope when we'll
live with him when he returns!

T he Best is Yet to Come
Pastor Mike Montgomery E mail Mike
Guthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith Pelzer, SC
For the followers of Christ, "the half has never yet been told." We
should be encouraged as we think about what God has prepared for
his children. As we look at the Hebrew nation as they began to rebuild
their temple, we consider the one greater than the temple, the ultimate
fulfillment for those who are watching. We are a building under
construction, and we know that the best is yet to come.
Haggai 2

The First Skyscraper
John Railton 2-22-1976
Even after the flood, man was still determined to disobey God. Through
building a large tower, they set out to reach the heavens, make a name
for themselves, and not to scatter the earth as they were commanded.
It was then that God decided to confuse their languages. They ignored
God's word. But are we guilty of the same pride, distrust, and rebellion
even still today?

W illing Temples of God
E. Milon Hall 2-20-1966
We are the living temples of God. It is a continuously challenging
thought. God dwells in us. We should be enthused with this truth. We
have to condition ourselves to let God dwell in us. We need to remind
ourselves of who we are and what we are in our relationship to our
God. But is it evident in our lives? Is it time to rekindle the inner fire
and consecrate ourselves again as willing temples?
Haggai 1:1-15; 2 Cor. 6:16; Romans 8:13; Matt. 22:1-5; 2 Timothy 1:6

H ow to Be Sealed with the Holy Spirit
Z.B. Duncan 11-18-1984
Do great signs and wonders mean it's the real thing? Can you
possess the gifts of the spirit without hearing and believing the
gospel? To be a recipient of the holy spirit, one must first know and
believe the truth. In today's study, we examine the emphasis that
Jesus and his apostles put on the inspired word of God through the
preaching of the truth.

The Open Bible Pulpit: The Spirit in You
Pastor Chuck Jones E -mail C huck Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
What is the spirit that directs you? What is the spirit that is in you - that
comes out of you? In today's text, we find different men directed by
different spirits. How will you choose to follow Jesus? Will it be by the
world's standards - or God's?
Luke 9:46-62

A broadcast ministry of Kingdom Ministries, Inc (Litchfield, Minnesota).
Kingdom Ministries is a completely faith-based ministry created to
simply and clearly proclaim the message of the Kingdom of God and to
share God's love in a practical way. In today's message, we look again
at the sacrifice that Jesus made in our place. God required blood. But
we couldn't do it ourselves. Jesus gave his life as: O ur Substitute

The Finest Fruit Ever Produced - Part Two
Pastor Michael Brown E-mail Michael
Glad Tidings Church of God Fonthill, Ontario, Canada
Following our look at ridding the "rotten fruit", we examine in this
message how to cultivate the fruit of the spirit in our lives. It starts by
putting our sin to death through the cross. It is then we can begin
allowing Jesus to produce the best fruit inside of us. And as we walk in
the spirit, we begin walking in step with God.

I ntroduction to the Psalms
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell E -mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
Jesus spoke of the three divisions of the Hebrew scriptures that proved
his Messiahship, including the book of Psalms. In this introductory
message on the Psalms, Pastor Ferrell outlines the 5 books of the
Psalms as they correspond to the 5 books of the Torah.
Luke 24:36-48; Genesis 1:28; Psalms 1:3; Deuteronomy 8:3

T imes of Restitution
Pastor Hollis Partlowe
Dixon Church of God Dixon, Illinois
The death and resurrection of Jesus were not the end of his work. He's
coming again to finish the work that God has given him to do. He's
coming to establish a new order for this world where all the wrongs will
be made right. There is a future home of the redeemed on the renewed
and restored earth where the curse will be removed forever. This
tormented world has a great future ahead. Are you ready?
