Many consider Moses to be the greatest prophet in the Bible. During his 120-year life, he spent 40 years as a prince in the Egyptian palace, 40 years in the Midian desert as a shepherd, and 40 years communing with God, writing Scripture and leading the rebellious nation of Israel. Moses was an amazing man […]
One of the wisest things we can do in life is to learn from our forefathers. When we learn from them, we can avoid their mistakes and build on their qualities. Our text this morning mentions the first four patriarch (forefathers) of the nation of Israel. Could you name those patriarchs? They are Abraham, Isaac, […]
My good camera has a setting that I used recently called spot focus. It forces the camera to focus on a spot in the centre of the view and to ignore the surroundings. That is helpful for taking a picture of a single object like a bird in a tree or a bee on a […]
God was greatly grieved that the human race had turned their back on Him (Ge 6:3). God saw the wickedness of man (Ge 6:5). God repented or was sorry and pained that he made man (Ge 6:6). Man’s rebellion grieved the Lord’s heart. God planned to destroy all living creatures on the face of the […]
Enoch was the seventh generation from Adam. Since Adam lived 930 years, he was still alive for most of Enoch’s life. Enoch was Noah’s great grandfather. Enoch was the father of Methuselah.

As we preview the heroes of the faith in this chapter, we see that by faith Abel offered, by faith Enoch pleased God, by faith Noah built an ark, by faith Abraham travelled, by faith Sarah conceived, by faith Abraham sacrificed, by faith Isaac blessed… Each received directions from God, but they could not see […]
Are your beliefs about the origin of all things fact or faith? Unbelievers mock Christians today for their faith in the Bible record of Creation, yet evolution requires more faith than Creation. If the devil can get you to lose faith in God as Creator, you will also lose faith in God’s promises. You may […]
When Jesus ascended back into heaven, the angels gave this promise to the disciples. (Acts 1:11) “…Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” (Chart) When Christ […]
Someone once wrote, “There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of one small candle.” What a great thought. When life’s troubles cover you like thick darkness, keep your spiritual candle burning. Transition Here God gives us three challenges, each beginning with “Let us”, which ought to encourage us […]
Show a picture of my parents. This is not my parents; it is a picture of them. It is a type of them. The same is true of the OT tabernacle. (Draw a picture of the tabernacle.) It is only a type of the real tabernacle in heaven. When Christ died on the cross and […]
