Defending The Poor Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 3, 2013

God cares for the poor and oppressed; one of the most prominent themes in the Bible is our response toward the poor. It is the duty of God’s people to provide for those in need as best as we can with compassion, following the example of Nehemiah.

Nehemiah has resisted outward attacks, but now there’s corruption within. It’s been said that, “No test of leadership is more revealing than the test of opposition” (Boice). Nehemiah wasn’t expecting opposition from his own people. The outcry of the poor reached his ...read more

Daniel In The Lion's Den Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 17, 2022

Daniel's testimony was for his Lord. He had a reputation of serving God with all of his heart. He prayed to God three times a day. With that testimony, those that were against him plotted a way to use his dedication to the Lord against him to have him removed from office and executed.

Tonight we are in Daniel 6:16. From last time you might remember that King Darius’ advisors plotted to get rid of Daniel. There was surely jealousy because King Darius had made Daniel 3rd ruling official in Babylon. The cultic advisors were jealous that a Jew had been appointed in a position ...read more

The call of God is as unique for every individual as is every person. For Gideon it was the fleece and that differs widely from Ezekiel and his lofty falling facedown vision of the throne of God. Isaiah with the burning coal placed on his lips differs from Paul on the Damascus Road and his ...read more
