Mothers Of Messiah-Bathsheba Of Jerusalem Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 14, 2021

The Scriptures don't say much about Bathsheba except what's mentioned in connection with her relationship with David and his family. Even so, she had the privilege of being one of the mothers of the Messiah.

Introduction: The line of Messiah Jesus began with Abraham, then Isaac, followed by Jacob and Jacob’s son Judah. Of course each man had children by his wife; except for Judah’s twin sons Pharez and Zerah who were born to his daughter-in-law Tamar of Canaan (see Genesis 38). Rahab was a prostitute ...read more

God Comes To His People--In Wisdom Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 25, 2021

God comes to His people Monday of Fifth week in year Solomon thought that he was a chip off the old block, the rock of Israel’s faith, King David.

Great Wisdom (1 Kings 3)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 15, 2025

Where can we get great wisdom? Let's begin in 1 Kings 3.

Did Solomon in some ways start his reign right, with humility, requesting wisdom from God? How can we find wisdom? Let’s look at 1 Kings 3. Did Solomon foolishly marry a princess from Egypt?

A Finished Temple (1 Kings 6)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 18, 2025

What did the temple symbolize? Let's look further in 1 Kings 6.

How long did it take to finish the temple in Jerusalem? If the temple pictures us, could it also picture the temple in heaven? Let’s look at 1 Kings 6. What were the dimensions of the Temple that Solomon built? A cubit is roughly half a meter or half a yard. So the Temple was roughly 30x10x15 ...read more

Sunny Side Sermon Viii: Despite The Dark, Solomon Kept On The Sunny Side Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jul 1, 2020

In our fallen world, Christians must do as Solomon did: Ask God for a remedy to the situation we find (or put) ourselves in. God turned a raucous sinner's formula for failure into a repentant sinner's formula for success!

DESPITE THE DARK SIDE, SOLOMON KEPT ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE Which is it? “There’s no fool like an old fool” or “The older you get, the wiser you become”? Can you have it both ways? If we were to put it to a vote, we would probably get a split decision ...read more

What Is Beauty Based

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Men do not claim to understand women, but they do understand beauty. A man does not need to know anything about flowers to appreciate and enjoy them. So also, ignorance cannot rob men of the one thing they do know about women, and that is their beauty.

Every woman wants to be beautiful, and that is why the beauty business is a seven billion dollar a year industry, and the largest advertiser in America. American women actually worship beauty. They will do almost anything to attain it, including fasting if it is necessary. They will try anything, ...read more
