  • DUNCAN/The Line of the Sons of Noah

    Thursday, May 10, 2018 12:00 PM
    Turn in your Bible to Genesis 10:1-32. This passage is an expansion of those passing comments that we saw last week about Shem, Ham, and Japheth: “From these the whole world was populated.” Here we have this long catalog of the nations descended from Noah’s sons.

    DUNCAN/The Ark of Salvation and the Covenant with Noah

    Wednesday, March 21, 2018 6:00 PM

    Turn in your Bible to Luke 24:13-27. If you’ll remember verses 1-12, when the angels encountered the women who had come to the tomb to complete the preparation of Jesus’ body, the angels said to them, “Remember what He said,” and we talked about how Luke was emphasizing the centrality of the words of Christ for His disciples. It's central to their faith. Well, in the passage we're going to study this time, Jesus elaborates on that very point.

    DUNCAN/Perplexed. Frightened. Incredulous. Marveling!

    Wednesday, October 18, 2017 6:00 PM
    Turn in your Bible to Luke 24:1-12. This passage is about the battle of faith. Are we going to trust God's Word, or are we going to succumb to unbelief?
