     | 1,058 views

    Elisha has succeeded Elijah as a prophet to the Northern Kingdom (2 Kings 2: I - I 8). He has by now already prophesied and God has performed a few miracles through him. But now we will see something peculiar, he makes an axe head float.

    Do I Have To Pay Someone To Teach Me How To Pray?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 22, 2022
     | 957 views

    Why would anyone need to pay to learn how to pray when it is clear that the Lord told us how in the Bible?

    I recently read an article where someone was charging people nearly $1500.00 to attend a seminar on how to learn to pray. Let us look at Luke 11:1-13. 1. And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as ...read more

    The Missing Sheep And The Misplaced Silver

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 21, 2022
     | 1,198 views

    Are some Christians like missing sheep and misplaced silver? If so, what should we do?

    In verses 1 - 2: Why were the Pharisees bothered and irate that Jesus related with these individuals? The strict religious leaders were consistently mindful to remain “Clean” as per the Old Testament Law. Truth be told, they went well past the Law in their aversion of specific individuals and ...read more

    The First Deacons Are Appointed

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Oct 20, 2022
     | 1,307 views

    The purposes of church government are to organize the ministries of the church, maintain doctrinal purity, and to promote the mission of the Church

    The First Deacons are Appointed Acts 6:1-7 Before we look into how we should understand this text, it is helpful to review the challenges to the unity of the church we have already uncovered. The unity of the Church is an important theme. When we go back to Acts 2:1, we see that they were all in ...read more

    What Are We To Do When God Does Nothing?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 19, 2022
     | 997 views

    This is a story about one of the two men that did not die. Enoch had walked with God and was taken so that he did not see death, and Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind.

    In the preceding chapter, Elijah has a contest with evil prophets. In this chapter, Elijah flees for his life. In verses 1-4: Jezebel was maddened with regard to the passing of her prophets since they had told her what she wanted to hear, forecasting her future glory and power. Their occupation ...read more

    The supper is ready, and the invitations have been sent. But what is an invitation?

    In the previous chapter, we learn that Ahab is now the king of Israel. Unfortunately, he was worse than all the other kings before him. Each king prior to Ahab became worse than the one before.

    We have quit asking, we have quit seeking, and we have not knocked for so long that we have forgotten where the knocker is!

    We have quit asking, we have quit seeking, and we have not knocked for so long that we have forgotten where the knocker is! What do I mean by that sentence?

    One son to succeed to the throne. Another son was chosen.

    Adonijah was David's 4th son and the logical choice to succeed to the throne. He was half-brother to Solomon. Adonijah and Joab (the general) planned to take the throne. However, David declared Solomon the king. Joab and Adonijah went to the altar for safety, but judgment had come. Joab feared ...read more

    Putting Christ Last

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 19, 2022
     | 1,298 views

    Why is it that too often people have put, or they are putting Christ last? Here the questions are asked about the requirements for following Jesus, not the way to salvation. The cost of discipleship is brought out in this passage of scripture.

    Standing In The Gap

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 19, 2022
     | 1,569 views

    We are living in a period of extraordinary assaults by Satan. It is critical that we maintain prayers for our leaders, and it is fundamental for the leaders to take accountability to assist them with keeping their spiritual and moral integrity.

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would come to Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would be approached (22· 17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). Those actions and sins that occurred back then seem very similar to what is happening in society today (James 3:1). We are living in a ...read more

     | 1,150 views

    This is the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. No doubt we have all heard this story preached, read it ourselves, or seen movies regarding the Crucifixion of Christ. He was the perfect Son, in perfect union, with the perfect Father.

    Was Jesus attempting to escape the performance of his undertaking? Jesus was communicating his actual sentiments however he did not deny or oppose God's will. He reaffirmed his desire to do what God needed him to do. His petition features the awful enduring he needed to suffer, and desolation ...read more
