Old Testament

Ezra 7:1-8:23

The Lord's hand was upon them. Ezra knew this every step of the way to Jerusalem. Do you trust Him for this as you walk through your greatest challenges?

Ezra 5-6

Oppression can result in our failure to do God's will. When that happens, let us hear this word from the prophets of old.

Ezra 3-4

Build an alter first, then build the temple. However, you should know that there will be opposition. And by the way, building the wall will be just as hard.

Judges 19-21

They did what was right in their own eyes. Oh. God! May it never be so with us.

Judges 17-18

These chapters remind me of Frank Sinatra's "I did it my way". That's not a good thing.

Judges 15-16

Samson was certainly an example of what not to do, but God used him in the end and he is among those listed in Hebrews 11 as a man of faith. That's GRACE.

Judges 13:1-15:3

Have you ever thought God made a mistake choosing Sampson? Did he make a mistake choosing us?

Judges 10-12

Jephthah and 5 other judges that are only briefly mentioned are the focus in this glimpse into Israel's past.
