How many of you like jigsaw puzzles? I love them... even though I haven’t put one together in years. I don’t dare. They’re addictive, and I already have too many bad habits. But those of you who indulge - how do you start? Do you do all the edge pieces first, or do you sort ...read more

Hezekiah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Mar 3, 2023

Hezekiah was an interesting fellow. On one hand, he was faithful and he trusted God. On the other hand, when given the opportunity to bring glory to God, he chose, instead, to bring glory to himself, with tragic consequences.

March 04, 2023 Like Israel, Judah had 20 rulers: 19 kings and 1 queen. 12 were unfaithful - 3 had mixed results – only 5 did right. We begin today with the death of Ahaziah at the hand of Jehu. Upon his death, his mother, Athaliah, daughter of Ahab, declared herself queen of Judah then ...read more

Instead of preparing for battle, Belshazzar threw a party..... It would be his last.

June 10, 2023 Our story today only covers the last night of king Belshazzar’s life, so all we know of him is what extra-biblical history and archaeology tells us.
