Lesson: 37: Abimelech King Of Shechem Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 20, 2019

At first glance, it might appear that this pitiful tale of the scoundrel Abimelech is unimportant. However, the events of this chapter came very near to being the end of the nation of Israel.

Malachi: "God’s Love Is On The Way"

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Dec 13, 2016

The believers in Israels in Malachi's day needed to have their eyes opened to the compassion of God above them; the need of those around them; and the callousness within them.

Through-out this book, the prophet Malachi addresses the unbelieving people of Israel. But in our passage today, he turns to the few believers left in the nation. They were lamenting the lack of action on the part of God to bring judgment to unbelievers around them. They'd concluded God was ...read more

The Great Spiritual Struggle Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012

This passage deals with the spiritual struggle behind the great tribulation—the dragon’s (Satan’s) attacks against the woman (Israel).

Zelophehad's Daughters (Numbers 36)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 14, 2024

How does the equality and independence of Israel's land laws guide Christians in their help of the poor? Let's begin in Numbers 36.

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jan 5, 2025

What can we learn from God's high standards of conduct for ancient Israel? Let's look at Deuteronomy 17.

Why did God require sacrifices without defect? Does capital punishment deter evils? What were God’s standards for royalty? Does our king of kings far exceed those standards?

Sermon # 38 - The Grace And Justice Of God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 3, 2025

Jonah desired that God should punish the people of Nineveh and was angry when God relented. There are two sides of God, His grace and His justice that go hand in hand. A proper understanding will help us set aside our sinful ways and to stay in the will of God.

For today’s meditation we will look at Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and ...read more
