Long Live King Solomon! Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 26, 2022

Solomon had all the advantages life could offer. He had a God- fearing home with his father being a man after God’s own heart. He inherited wealth and he was privilege to the best education. Wholehearted devotion to God was required. Long live King Solomon!

God Takes The Nations/Idols To Court (Isaiah 41:1-29) Series

In my introduction to Isaiah 40-55, I talked about how one of the challenges to teaching on this part of the Bible, is that these chapters divide up into bigger chunks of material than we can comfortably handle all at once. And honestly, I find that kind of stressful. I can feel myself getting ...read more

The Royal Lineage Of The Lord Jesus (Matthew 1:1-18)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 3, 2024

We tend to skip the list of names in the first verses of Matthew's gospel, but each name is there for a reason, and it is to show the royal line of the Lord Jesus Christ and HIs right to the throne of David as King and Messiah.

Matthew wastes no time in establishing his case to prove that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah and the heir to David's throne as the true king of Israel. His opening statement reads as follows: "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of ...read more
