    David Is Named King Of Judah In Hebron Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 27, 2023
     | 1,921 views

    David had waited such a long time, for God’s promise given to him through the prophet Samuel. The promise was simple: You will be king. The moment has come, and David becomes King at Hebron over the tribe of Judah.

    David trusted God for years and years. He trusted God as his enemies closed in around him. He trusted God as he lived in caves. He trusted God even when he was alone and on the run. He trusted God when Saul tried to kill him. He trusted God when he was an outcast. At last, the time had come. David ...read more

    What Is Truth?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,293 views

    Fact-checking rates claims as true or false. Someone cannot determine what is true unless they claim to hold the keys to truth. Civil unrest often stems from a clash of truths. It's important to know the "real" source of truth.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “What Is Truth?” based on a question posed by Pontius Pilate toward the end of our text. In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “truth” is defined as, “the body of real things, events, and facts.” It is also defined as “a transcendent fundamental or spiritual ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 13, 2022
     | 926 views

    If we deny Christ and His divine authority and eternal power, then we will be denied by Christ at the judgement, and face an eternity of suffering and radical aloneness.

    Saturday of 28th Week in Course 2022 Today’s Gospel has been misused far more times than it has been used by Christians facing martyrdom by the power of some civil or religious authority. What Jesus seems to intend in His challenge to us disciples is that when we are haled, or hauled, before ...read more

    Guidelines From the Great Commission (Matt 28:16-20) Most Christians are content to be spectators instead of becoming obedient disciple-makers.

    A New Era Begins In Israel Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Dec 25, 2025
     | 158 views

    The government of Israel was administered in the name and authority of God – Israel was a Theocracy and God was their king. His earthly representatives, from Moses to Samuel, had no authority of their own. Their job was to uphold and enforce the Laws of God before the people.

    December 27, 2025 Samuel was unique. He was judge, prophet and priest and under his wise control the nation prospered. Eventually, however, he was forced to share the responsibilities of government and he chose his 2 sons – Joel and Abijah – to assist him. He appointed them judges and sent ...read more

    You want to talk about power? In August of 1883, a volcano on the Island of Krakatoa erupted. The initial blast sent a cloud of gas and debris 15 miles into the atmosphere.
