Did Rahab Lie…to the Glory of God? – Emmanuel Baptist Church
This post was written by Josh Bondoc, Director of Young Adults Ministries at EBC. Last Sunday, we looked at Joshua 2 and how Rahab lied to the soldiers of Jericho about hiding the Israelite spies to protect them: “‘True, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. And when the

Interpreting the Weather – Emmanuel Baptist Church
In Jonah chapter 1, Jonah ran into a terrible storm on the Mediterranean Sea. It was so bad it threatened to break up the ship (Jonah 1:4). The sailors were desperate, even throwing their cargo overboard to try to save themselves (Jonah 1:5). They expected to die (Jonah 1:6). All this because of Jonah’s disobedience.

More Help With the Imprecatory Psalms – Emmanuel Baptist Church
As I prepared to preach on Psalm 35 this past week, I was really helped by the following two resources—one a podcast, the other a blog article.

“Slot Machine Christianity” – Emmanuel Baptist Church
Do any of these sentiments sound familiar to you? If I raise my children in the “fear and admonition of the Lord” they will follow Christ and carry on a Christian legacy for another generation. If I live a chaste single life, pursuing God with all my heart, he will provide a spouse for me.

Stomping on Serpents – Emmanuel Baptist Church
In Genesis 3:15, God made a promise to the ancient serpent: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." The serpent had done his deceiving work, but his day was not to last forever. Someone was

The Help – Emmanuel Baptist Church
Over the years I've met many Christians who think that a biblical, traditional position on men’s and women’s roles basically means, “Husbands are responsible for all of the work outside of the home, and wives are responsible for all of the work inside the home.” But if that's all there is to biblical genes roles,

Unity and Opinions – Emmanuel Baptist Church
Did you hear about those two Christians who shared all the same opinions about COVID-19? No, me neither. Over a year into this whole situation, our different viewpoints continue to proliferate. A few months ago, the issue was masks; today, it’s vaccines. What hasn't changed is the apparent willingness of many Christians to fight and
