Isaac’s Eyesight -
August 26, 2018 00:00 - 1.4 KBAlthough Christians often use the word “blessing” quite casually, Genesis 37 tells us that when Isaac blessed Jacob, something real happened.

Israel’s Conquest -
August 26, 2018 00:00 - 1.4 KBJericho’s walls fell down through Israel’s corporate faith that enabled them to do exactly what God told them to, and so God brought the walls down. As a church we must also have corporate faith that enables us to obey God.

July 08, 2018 00:00 - 1.4 KBAgainst the backdrop of a time of immense suffering and oppression for the Hebrew people, Moses’ parents are commended for their faith when they choose to trust in God to save their son and themselves, rather than to fear men.
