Ezekiel Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 8, 2022

After the fall of Jerusalem and his period of silence, Ezekiel now addressed himself more pointedly to the exiles. He sought to direct their hopes for the restoration of their nation. His theme changed from the harsh judgment of God to the promise of the future.

Working Together Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 25, 2022

The first two chapters of Ezra tells us that the exiled people returned to the promised land. But something even more important is taking place. The Lord’s people are returning to God. Now unity among the remnant group is essential.

Musk oxen are herd animals, and groups of two or three dozen animals are sometimes led by a single female. Herds use cooperation to deal with attacks by arctic wolves.

Warning Of The False Teachers Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 21, 2024

There have been these lying false prophets around through the ages. This would be like in a critical war the soldiers can’t just fight the enemy who wear a different uniform, but within their ranks wearing their same uniform are those who would work to see the enemy win to make a profit.

New Life For Dry Bones

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 2, 2017

As God brought new life and hope to the dry bones scattered across Ezekiel's valley, God can do the same for us. When there seems to be no way forward, God knows our future. And as we trust him, we get to know God better in the process.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 New Life for Dry Bones When I became a “new cadet,” in basic training at West Point, I had to memorize various items and be willing to recount them at will. One was a paragraph from the 1962 speech of retired 82-year-old General of the Army Douglas MacArthur to the Corps of Cadets, ...read more

An Essential Banquet Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 1, 2019

Many exiles returned from Babylon, but many did not. The book of Esther teaches that God is with His people no matter where they are among the nations, and God will protect His people always. The series on banquets in the book of Esther are testimony to this truth.

Ezekiel’s Muteness

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

Ezekiel’s prophetic ministry was to the Jewish exiles in Babylon. An interesting fact about Ezekiel’s ministry was that God muted him for twelve years. Ezekiel was only allowed to speak when he was uttering an authentic word from God.

Genesis 11 – Part 1 - Does God Approve Of Racism? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 11, 2010

God divided the languages and scattered them all over the world. Now why did the Lord do this? Does God approve of racism? It seems God wanted racial separation, not based on skin colour but on language? Why? God is not a racist! So what is happening here

The Tower Of Babel Series

The Tower of Babel explains why people speak different languages. A united human race speaking a single language agree to build a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Yahweh, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other and scatters them around the world.

One Flock, One Shepherd: The Unfinished Mission

Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 11, 2024

It’s not a small thing for Jesus’ followers to be scattered. He needs to gather us “so there will be one flock,” and even so there is “one shepherd.” Jesus cares for people all over the world. As one of His followers, do you care for people all over the world?

The Danger Of Selective Hearing Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 15, 2019

We are focussing on the people of Judah who have exited Babylon and come back to Judah. As we come towards the end of the series … which we ...read more
