Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Feb 5, 2019

In 1 Samuel 16 God had instructed Samuel to go to the house of Jesse and anoint one of his sons to be king of Israel.

But Samuel was afraid.

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.
