    Rizpah, though insignificant in status, proved to be the focus of two defining events in the life of God’s people. It is from her story I hope we can learn some valuable lessons!

    Introduction: Rizpah (Riz-puh) was a concubine of King Saul who had bore Saul two sons. She is, in one sense, a very insignificant character. As a concubine, she had very little status nor influential power. Concubines were considered as “secondary wives,” they were inferior to the ...read more

    What does the Bible say about why a church isn’t growing and how it can be corrected.

    Help! My Church Isn’t Growing In many ways pastors and churches are judged by whether or not their church is growing.
