Standing On The Promises Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 30, 2022

In 2 Samuel 5-7 David stands on God’s promise to him. It is God’s covenant to David. The promise is that his decedents will reign on the throne of Israel forever. Yet this promise goes beyond David and his family and the King of Israel. It is the promise of the coming Messiah.

When God makes you a promise you can stand on that promise The Hymn says it well: Standing on the promises that cannot fail, When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, By the living Word of God, I shall prevail, Standing on the promises of God.

He ran from Jezebel, collapsed under a broom tree, and told God, “I have had enough... I alone am left.” Elijah’s ego—his belief that he was the last ...read more

As we were growing up, many of our parents tried to warn us about dangers that we faced, but we could not see them until later in life.

As the children of God, we used to wonder what the Word of God was warning us about in Matthew 24:22-23.
