Brent Smith: Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve | Joshua 24
Like Israel, we’ve all heard of God’s faithfulness, but we’ve also heard of the consequences of our unfaithfulness. God has called us to be faithful to Him, and it’s in keeping our loyalty to Him that we truly experience the life and blessings He has for us.
Brent Smith: Discipleship, Difficulties and Demons | Matthew 8:14-34
Jesus simply asks His disciples, ‘Why are you fearful?’ Now we can all think of at least a few reasons why fear might get the better of us. But though the storm is raging, Jesus is at rest. With Jesus in the boat, we don’t need to fear! Though trials will come, He will not let us drown. We need to take confidence in that.
Brent Smith: The Healing Power of Jesus | Matthew 8:1-13
Sin is not something we treat as though it were a minor surface problem or skin irritation. We are sinners in need of a heart transplant. It’s a sin issue that needs to be taken care of from the inside out. It’s a work only God can do!
Brent Smith: God’s Faithfulness and Our Obedience | Joshua 23
Joshua warns the people that those things that may seem alluring and may look innocent will turn out to be a snare and a trap. So too, sin will be that which will corrupt and be a scourge if we don’t cut it away. The wages of sin is death, there’s no room to play around with it. Don’t believe the lie that you can handle it. Its purpose is to destroy.
Brent Smith: Why Do You Seek The Living Among The Dead? | Luke 24:1-12
Resurrection Sunday reveals the reality that Jesus is not merely a hero of the past, but Jesus is our living hope of the present! He’s alive today and forevermore!

Unity Among The Brethren | Joshua 21-22
As believers, we are not to act on hearsay but to seek the truth in love. Be slow to anger and quick to forgive. Look for every opportunity to live out the character of Christ.
Building On The Right Foundation | Matthew 7:21-29
Have you surrendered to Jesus? The day we stand before Jesus does not need to worry us or bring apprehension in our life. If you’ve accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, the one who paid the penalty for your sins, then you are His.
Right Route, Wrong Root | Matthew 7:13-20
The root determines the fruit. If the root is bad, the fruit cannot be good. If a person is truly rooted in Christ, then good fruit is going to come. And these things become tests or indicators of where a person is at.
Moving In | Joshua 15-20
There is meticulous recording as to what families receive what portion of land. Yet, there’s something wonderful to remind ourselves of – God is in the details. He’s at work and it’s a reminder that God is involved and cares about the affairs of life.
How To Treat Others | Matthew 7:1-12
The problem with the human heart is that we tend to think of ourselves as much better than we truly are, overlook sin in our lives, but be drawn to see the sin in others. For us to live the life that Jesus is laying out in the Sermon on the Mount, the Kingdom Way, we need help! If we’re going to live a life that’s growing in righteousness, walking in obedience, then we need to look to the Lord.
