THE REPHIDIM PROJECT


Announcing the launch of a new website devoted to Bible exposition! We launched our website for The Rephidim Project this week. The site is full of resources including teaching videos, articles, sermon collections, books, expository preaching tools, and posts from this blog. I invite you to browse the site and use the resources for your personal refreshment and your ministry responsibilities. I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions to make this site more useful to you in your kingdom work. Here is the link to the website.

www.rephidimproject.org

The purpose of The Rephidim Project is to minister to the ministers - to lift up those who are serving on the frontlines of Christ's global mission by providing resources to be refreshed through the exposition of Scripture. We all can become weary in the work, and we may feel isolated and discouraged. The Rephidim Project seeks to encourage the exhausted and strengthen the weak (Isaiah 35:3) through developing and distributing resources for Bible exposition. We know that feeding deeply on God's Word refreshes the soul. We need to feast at the banquet table and not settle for the fast food that fills but does not nourish the soul for battle.

The "Digging Deeper" teaching videos on the website offer spiritual nourishment in bite-sized pieces. Each video runs about 5 minutes in length but helps us feed deeper on the fruit and vegetables of God's Word. Articles explore a biblical topic in more depth, and my prayer is that you experience encouragement as you read. Expository preaching resources help us put nutritional food on the plates of others so they can be nourished for His kingdom work. Sermon collections apply God's Word to our lives, and my prayer is that you are strengthened by Him as you listen to these sermons.

Next week I return to my regularly scheduled blog! Enjoy the website and feel free to share your thoughts with me. I would love to get your feedback.

  1. At the close of our evening service, Jan and I enjoyed reflecting on events in our lives with two of our grown children. Dan was one who visited your church in Maine a few years ago along with his brother Josh who is presently attending Boyce College. Jan looked up your name and saw the picture of the two of you in Yellowstone National Park just 50 miles south of where we live. If you're ever in the area again, it would be fun to visit. Take care!

  2. Hi Monty! Somehow, I missed this comment on an old blog post. I am remiss in not responding to you. It was great to hear from you. We were on a 4-week cross-country trip with some friends in our campers and very much enjoyed Yellowstone and the Tetons. There is so much of God's beauty in your region of the country. We thought of contacting you, but trip plans with our friends limited our time. What is your email address? We'd love to get out that way again someday. All God's blessings, David.
