Life Is A Series Of Choices (Numbers 14:1-38) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 3, 2025

The fathers of Israel have to make a choice about if they will listen to the voices with faith, or the voices who fear. They make the wrong choice, and now they and their sons will miss God's best.

Last week, we read the story about how Moses, at God's command, sent 12 men into the promised land to explore it. Before Moses sent them, he specifically asked them to bring back a report about the people living there-- are they strong, or weak, are they few, or many? Are their cities ...read more

Hosea: Cheating On God Series

Contributed by Thomas Cash on Jan 29, 2013

As Hosea’s wife Gomer cheated on him, Israel cheated on God. But the real message here is how Hosea learned that God’s greatest desire is to love, purify, and restore.

Major News from Minor Prophets Hosea: Cheating on God There are a group of books at the end of the Old Testament commonly known as the Minor Prophets. They are not called that because their messages are unimportant, but because they are shorter in length than the other OT books of prophesy. They ...read more

David Is Named King Of Judah In Hebron Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 27, 2023

David had waited such a long time, for God’s promise given to him through the prophet Samuel. The promise was simple: You will be king. The moment has come, and David becomes King at Hebron over the tribe of Judah.

David trusted God for years and years. He trusted God as his enemies closed in around him. He trusted God as he lived in caves. He trusted God even when he was alone and on the run. He trusted God when Saul tried to kill him. He trusted God when he was an outcast. At last, the time had come. David ...read more

The Priority Of Justice And Righteousness

Contributed by Leonard Davis on May 29, 2009

The failure of Israel to make a connection between their religion rituals and their daily lives should serve as a warning for us in the church today that justice and righteousness are still priorities with God and judgment results with these are absent.

THE PRIORITY OF JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS Every now and then we come across stories that are both humorous and sad. During World War II in the Pacific Theater our forces set up a base on the island of New Guinea. We built an airport with runways, a tower, lights along the runways, and the ...read more
