Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 13, 2022

Was Balaam a great prophet? Wonderful things came from the mouth of Balaam when he blessed Israel and did not curse them. Jude makes reference to him with "the error of Balaam" but how do we see that error in churches? That is what we will consider this morning.

Jephthah (Judges 11)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 12, 2025

The Construction Of A King's Character (1 Samuel 16:14-23)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2024

God used solitude, secrecy, sameness, and struggle to shape the character and faith of David for his future role as king of Israel. God can use tools like these to shape anyone who surrenders their life to Him.

David had just been anointed as the next king of Israel by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:1-13), much to the amazement of his father and brothers. He had been in the fields of Judea tending the family flocks, seemingly consigned like the majority of the populace to live a life of productive ...read more
