Zedekiah, The False Prophet With Fake Iron Horns Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 4, 2025

A false prophet named Zedekiah used some unusual visual aids to reinforce his message. One small problem, though: his message didn't come from the LORD!

Introduction: This second message is about Zedekiah, probably one of the worst false prophets ever. He lived during the days of Ahab and Jehoshaphat but caused a great deal of grief for many people in both Israel and Judah. His “visual aids” didn’t help, either! The setting for this “prophecy” ...read more

The Spirit Of Slave Laws Series

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 30, 2021

The topic of slavery is a very emotional one, because most people only know of corrupt forms of slavery and because the threat of such slavery still exists in the modern world. However, we need to learn that kidnapping and enforced slavery were also forbidden in the Bible.

Trinity Exposition: Why Should I Believe?

Contributed by Don Aldrich Tamayo on Jun 25, 2023

Is God the Father the only “one God”—or is the Son, Jesus, God too? If so, do Christians worship more than one God? Is that not polytheism, as some suggest? Is God the Father superior to Jesus? Did Jesus come after the Father? Was there a time when the Father but not Jesus existed?

Introduction: Let me start it with a humor, Why did the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit start a band? Because they had perfect harmony! Why did the Trinity go to the baseball game? Because they heard there would be a lot of "Son" shine! Let us Pray: Is God the Father the only “one ...read more
