Today we continue our study verse by verse through the book of Joshua. The nation of Israel is poised and ready to cross the Jordan river opposite Jericho. Before they proceed, though, they need the proper instructions and the proper preparation. Scripture text is Joshua 3:1-17.

Today we continue our study verse by verse through the Old Testament book of Joshua. The Israelites are preparing to enter the promised land, but first they send two spies to survey the situation. Rahab, the harlot, is a name we will come to remember for the way God uses her for His glory despite her checkered past. A good lesson for us all. Scripture text is Joshua 2:1-24.

This morning we continue our study verse by verse through the Old Testament book of Joshua. God has spoken to Joshua and now Joshua will command the people. The promised land is within their grasp, but will they be faithful to obey God's words? Past history seems to say no. Scripture text is Joshua 1:10-18.

Today we begin a journey verse by verse through the book of Joshua in the Old Testament. The Lord's servant Moses has died and Joshua has been commissioned as the new Leader for the children of Israel. They stand poised on the banks of the Jordan, prepared to enter into the promised land. In all these things, God is faithful to his people. Scripture text is Joshua 1:1-9.

This morning we conclude our study of the gospel of Matthew. This final paragraph contains the well known passage known as the Great Commission. There is a distinct flow to this biblical command that provides the Christian with a great deal of encouragement. The task is great, but so is our God. Scripture text is Matthew 28:16-20.

This morning we continue our study verse by verse through the gospel of Matthew. The plot to kill Jesus has been carried out and it may seem to the outside observer that the religious establishment has achieved their victory. Sunday, however, will prove to be far different from Friday. Scripture text is Matthew 28:1-15.

Today we continue our study verse by verse through the gospel of Matthew. Jesus has been crucified unjustly, but now he needs to be buried before the Sabbath day begins. Joseph of Arimathea approaches Pilate, asking for the body of Jesus. Meanwhile, the Jewish religious leaders still plot to discredit the predicted resurrection. Scripture text is Matthew 27:57-66.

This morning we continue our study verse by verse through the gospel of Matthew. Jesus has been moved through his trial to his scourging to his crucifixion. From false witnesses to mocking crowds, Jesus has been subjected to the worst treatment imaginable. And yet, throughout all the horrendous circumstances, all he offers is humility and kindness in return. Scripture text is Matthew 27:27-56.

Today we continue our study verse by verse through the gospel of Matthew. Jesus is standing before Pilate because of the actions of the chief priests and the elders. Although he is being accused of terrible things, Jesus remains silent. Pilate is influenced by the crowds. The crowds are influenced by the religious leaders. Meanwhile, no one appears to be influenced by God. Scripture text is Matthew 27:11-26.

Pardon the interruption. A mission team from the Edisto Baptist Association, including Pastor Mike, is serving this week in Miami, Florida, in partnership with Gospel Life Church. So today we have the privilege of hearing from Rev. Todd Menie, Weekday Children's Ministry Pastor for First Baptist Church Lexington. Todd will be speaking from the book of 1 John.
