Issachar And Zebulun Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2022

The sages read Genesis 49:13-15 very differently. They glorified Issachar while explaining away Zebulun's calm superiority in a way that does not denigrate Issachar. Zebulun was an aggressive tribe on the ascendancy, but Issachar was comparatively weak.

Issachar and Zebulun Among Jacob's sons from Leah, Issachar was the fifth and Zebulun the sixth (Genesis 30:18-20). 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ...read more

Where Is The Lord God Of Elijah (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

As I read through this passage, it appears that Elijah is testing Elisha.

Look at verse 2.

Elijah seems to test Elisha again. He ...read more

Saturday - The Day Of Darkness And Hopelessness Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 11, 2022

The biblical record of what took place on that Saturday between crucifixion Friday and resurrection Sunday is very brief. It was the Sabbath, and the disciples kept the Sabbath. There are important lessons for us to learn from what the disciples were surely going through on that dark Saturday.

A. There’s an old saying that goes “It’s always darkest before the dawn.” 1. The saying is meant to suggest that things always seem to get worse before they get better. 2. And the saying also suggests that the dawn will come, that we need to persevere through hard times, because things will get ...read more

Contributed by Claude Alexander on May 3, 2022

Joseph Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 20, 2022
