Give Us A King Series

Contributed by Todd Catteau on May 20, 2023

Israel makes a demand of Samuel to give the nation a king, just like all the other nations. This demand reveals some faulty theology among the nation, and even among ourselves.

The Crown – Season One – Episode 2 Long Live the King . Today we will be in chapters 9-10 as Israel gets the king they wanted. But before we go there let’s take a look back at last week. It’s an odd story to say the least. I’m not going to read through the whole passage but here is a ...read more

Josiah The Boy King

Contributed by Don Campbell on Jul 2, 2023

Paul commended the genuine faith of Timothy, saying that it had first dwelt his mother and grandmother. Josiah's father and grandfather were the worst of the worst, causing Israel to become more idolatrous than the surrounding nations. Josiah broke the pattern.

A Secret Meeting With The King

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 6, 2023

Eventually, all people want to know what God is planning. However, even knowing what God plans does not mean that people will change their behaviour.

Counting The Cost Of A King Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 24, 2022

Israel demanded a king and rejected God as their king. God made a new covenant with King David. In David’s offspring a king would rule forever. Israel rejected God but they did not thwart his sovereign purposes for man. In Jesus Christ both the Sinai covenant and David’s covenant are fulfilled.

It is tragic when we give something more priority than we give God. Sporting events can develop character and teach young people positive lessons but if that sport ever came between that person and God, it is wrong. Even humanitarian projects which are serving human need in a ministry, if they ...read more

Abimelech, King Of Gerar Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 29, 2022

A few years after this, Abimelech visited Abraham, who had moved southward beyond his territory, and entered into an alliance of peace and friendship with him. This league was the first of which we have any record. A mutual oath confirmed it at Beer-sheba (Genesis 21:22-34).

Ackowledge Your King Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 10, 2022

Palm Sunday reminds us that the message of the cross, the message of salvation, must be set in the context of Jesus being king. And we must recognize Jesus as the king he is, not the king we might like him to be.

In a typical year about 3.5 million people visit Jerusalem. It’s one of the most historic cities in the world. It has been continuously inhabited since about 1,800 B.C. So it’s been worth visiting for a VERY long time! But in the time of Jesus, there were certain times of the year when Jews had ...read more

The Victory Of The Crucified King

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 25, 2022

Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), the assassination of President Kennedy (November 22, 1963), and the terrorist act upon America (September 11, 2001) are all considered "infamous" days. The true "day of infamy" was 2000 years ago, when we attempted to kill God Incarnate.

The central theme of the Gospel is that the Lord Jesus was placed upon the cross for the redemption of our sins. It was an act of mercy, love, grace, and salvation that we did not deserve (Romans 5:6-11). It was also the day that rebellious humanity shook its fist at God Almighty, and the ...read more
