Show Me That Our God Is In The Camp And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.

Trusting God In Turbulent Times

Contributed by David Owens on Oct 30, 2023

What should Christians think and do about the conflict in the Middle East. Does God still have a plan for the nation of Israel? These are important questions. Trusting God and praying for peace are the most important things we can do.

The Two Covenants

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 6, 2023

How does an analogy between two sons help us understand the old and new covenants?

Living under the law of Moses was like a child under a tutor, or like a slave. How does Paul explain this?

Come And See Jesus (John 1:43-51) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022

Nathaniel is open-minded enough to come see Jesus for himself, and overcomes his initial skepticism. This makes him the ideal Israelite. Also, Jesus is not a ladder. Angels come "to" Jesus, not "upon" him.

Bringing Life To Dead Bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 9, 2024

Throughout the Bible, we read about Israel's faithfulness and unfaithfulness to God. Yet, God is not finished with them. He restored Israel as a nation and will make it the centerpiece of the new earth at Christ's return.

The thirty-seventh chapter of Ezekiel presents what on the surface seems to be a story of desolation and ruin that is beyond any hope of restoration by human standards. This chapter describes a tragic episode in the history of Israel as a nation. It paints a bleak picture of its past but also ...read more
