    An Old Testament Christmas

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 26, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 27,307 views

    Christmas begins in the OT with the promise of the Messiah.

    Christmas really begins in the Old Testament. The promise of a coming Messiah filled the pages of the Hebrew Bible, and the Jews were watching for his coming. It is interesting that the Jews use a different arrangement of the Old Testament books than we do. After the first five books there is a ...read more

    Belshazzar's Feast Series

    based on 119 ratings
     | 15,106 views

    Belshazzar’s drunken feasting turned into sacrilege resulting in God’s judgement and Daniel courageously delivered God’s verdict to the doomed king.

    DANIEL 5 - BELSHAZZAR’S FEAST This chapter deals with Belshazzar’s feast and makes a striking contrast with the previous chapter which described Nebuchadnezzar’s conversion. Both kings heard the Word of God - and for them it was a final word - but what a difference in their response. The author ...read more

    I Pledge Allegiance To A Hiding God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 7,060 views

    The recent "under God" court decision is inconsequential. Far better to pledge allegiance to a God who does not need publicity and lip service, but who points us to acts of justice, liberation, and witness.

    In every age there are those who feel they need to help God out of hiding. God, it seems, is never without public relations agents, who want to help Him get His name out. They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more

    I’m convinced that each of us needs someone to watch over us, someone who really cares about us, someone who’ll offer a shoulder to cry on in seasons of sorrow, & encouraging words when we need them most.
