A Tale Of Two Kings -- 1 Samuel 25 Series

Contributed by James D. Thornber on Mar 2, 2014

A Good Wife And A Mean-Spirited Husband

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2014

The leader of the outlaws was an honourable man who, like Robin Hood in England, had unjustly fallen into disfavour with the ruler of the land. Whereas Robin Hood ...read more

Standing On The Promises Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 30, 2022

In 2 Samuel 5-7 David stands on God’s promise to him. It is God’s covenant to David. The promise is that his decedents will reign on the throne of Israel forever. Yet this promise goes beyond David and his family and the King of Israel. It is the promise of the coming Messiah.

That hymn has brought great comfort to many ...read more

How To Approach God Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 17, 2013

As in both psalms, only trusting in God for your salvation is what matters. This ...read more
