    We look at the fall of King Saul. We see how he rationalized his sins by selective obedience, shifting blame, and subterfuge. Then we study the true nature of obedience and end with an enlightening story.

    Giving: God's Way: Biggest Myth About Giving

    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Jun 29, 2015

    Prosperity Gospel has degraded Christian Giving into a Barter system. Let us look at one of the biggest myths about giving. "

    Giving, God’s way: Myths about Giving 1Samuel 15:1-23 Let me start with some simple statistics.

    The Game Of Thrones Begins Series

    Contributed by Rev. Clarence Eisberg on Oct 27, 2015
     | 6,423 views

    Game of Thrones would well have been the title of I & II Kings in our Bible. Israel's desire to be ruled by a king was tainted by their worldly aspirations and would bring heavy, painful consequences until God’s true King arrived in Bethlehem.

    “The Game of Thrones Begins ” I. Introduction Game of Thrones is the title of the American fantasy drama series created for HBO, now in its 5th season. This series is based on the George R. Martin's series of novels entitled A Song of Ice and Fire, sent in the fictional land of ...read more

    New Testament Anointing

    Contributed by Bharat Raaya on Oct 13, 2015
     | 7,065 views

    Saul and David depicts two testaments. Saul stands for Old Testament and David for New Testament. Their anointing differed and so was their race to the final destination.

    New Testament anointing 1Samuel 10:1,16:1-13 Prophet Samuel had the privilege of anointing the first two kings of Israel. In 1 Sam.10:1, we see that Samuel took a flask of oil to anoint Saul. But in 1 Sam 16:13 he took a horn of oil to anoint David. Does the FLASK and the HORN ring a bell in ...read more

    Are we serious about hearing God?

    Please open your Bibles to 1 Samuel Chapter 15….. Remember that Samuel was God’s Prophet. Israel was God’s chosen People and Saul was the first human king of Israel. 1 Samuel 15 is a very interesting chapter and again Saul gets his hand caught in the cookie jar, sort of speak. ...read more

    Two things we need most are found in Jesus: real security and deep satisfaction.

    King Saul was a major disappointment. As you know, he was the first king of Israel, and he was everything you would want a king to be. When we first meet him in the pages of Scripture, we are told that he was “a handsome young man.” In fact, “there was not a man among the people ...read more

    While no serious Christian would overtly condone idolatry, we do something just as bad by allowing stubbornness to rule our hearts or the hearts of others.

    Intro: Would you condone idolatry? Have you ever known anyone to casually admit to idolatry? What if you were talking to a friend who is a Christian one day about character flaws and he said something like, “Well, I know I’ve got a problem with idolatry” or “I’ve ...read more
