Was there a Judas like person in the Old Testament? Let's begin in 2 Samuel 15.

Can reconciliation be abused? Do people abuse Christ's act of reconciliation on the cross? Will there be tares among the wheat, wolves among the sheep? Are forgiveness and trust separate issues? Let’s begin in 2 Samuel 15. Did Absalom respect his father’s reconciliation or plot a ...read more

Samuel The Boy Series

Contributed by Merv Budd on May 2, 2011

We look at a foundational practice that Samuel started as a young boy and that allowed him to build a life of integrity; it is the practice of telling God’s truth.

There are some characters in the Bible who seem to stand out more than others. Take Elijah for example, there was a man who called fire from heaven, who confronted wicked kings and who did amazing feats in God’s name. Moses was a great man. He also did miraculous feats through the power of ...read more

David's Greatest Sin

Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000

Pride is the greatest sin and contributor to sin. We see this in David and in our own lives.

Introductory Considerations 1. Today we look at a very interesting passage. On the surface may seem a just a historical event that has little to teach us today. It is the story of what may well be David’s greatest sin, at least in regards to the consequences. 2. Last week considered David’s sin ...read more

David Is Made King Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 20, 2003

David becomes King by God’s plan but as a result of a series of events which are sometimes ungodly in nature. God is able to use ungoldy actions by sinful men and women to bring about his good purposes in history.

I think it’s easy to have a romantic view of the history of David as King of Israel. It’s such a great story isn’t it? The good looking shepherd boy who becomes king. The youngest son who is chosen and anointed by God to lead his people. The young lad who defeats the battle seasoned giant Goliath. ...read more

David's Four Lambs

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Aug 6, 2003

David compounded the tragic consequences of his sin by his pious act in imposing judgment, not realizing that he was, in fact, passing judgment upon himself and his family.

The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds. "But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and ...read more

David's Hard Heart
