    based on 1 rating
     | 19,801 views

    When David was anointed king the Philistines came after him. His response was to go down into the hold, get a word from God and then deal with the situation. There is a going down that is actually a going up and going forward.

    Why 2,000 Years Ago Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Dec 6, 2018
     | 7,371 views

    Why did Jesus Come when He did. Why not before? Why not later? We will see that God had just the right time in history, like none other, for Jesus to come.

    Why 2 thousand years ago? Think about it, the land of Israel was occupied by the Romans. A pagan nation ruled over Israel and the Jewish people were in a state of upheaval, and the priestly system was corrupt. If Jesus came as a Ruler, or as a King, as a warrior Messiah, to drive out the Romans, ...read more

    Psalms 58 And 109 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 5, 2020
     | 5,877 views

    The outrage expressed in passages in these psalms are examples of times David seemed to be "fed up" with his enemies. He pours out his fury to God, not intending for his Father to act on the ills he calls for, but for God to see the passion poisoning his heart and send relief.

In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more
