Although a man after God's own heart, and a great king, David was a pretty lousy parent. He was indulgent of his children, never held them accountable for the sinful things they did, never tried to bring them to repentance, and never even tried to bring them to faith in God. What message does David's neglectful parenting and the consequences of tha…

King David had a lot of things to celebrate in his life: He killed the 9ft giant, Goliath, he defeated tens of thousands of enemies of Israel with his mighty men, he became king over all of Israel, and was adored by his subjects. But King David's biggest celebration was reserved, not for anything having to do with him as king, but for the one true …

In 1 Samuel 22, even while David was running for his life, he took the time to bring his parents to Moab to keep them safe. Caring for our aging parents can sometimes be hard, but as David shows us, that is never a reason not to do it! Be sure to Subscribe to and Like this Podcast so you'll never miss an episode!

In this episode, we look at Ruth 1:1. The book of Ruth follows on the heels of the book of Judges; arguably the darkest period in Israel's history where, "Everyone did what was right in their own eyes." The book of Ruth is seen as a bright side in that tragic period. And it was! However, it doesn't start out that way. What does Elimelech and his fa…

In Judges 6:1 - 2, the Israelites hide out in caves and dens instead of crying out to God, repenting of their sin, and moving on. It takes them seven years before they realize this is what they needed to do. Sometimes, even as Christians who know that Jesus has granted us forgiveness of our sins, we can hide out in our own caves of guilt and shame.…

One of the most difficult truths for us to read in Scripture is that God sometimes, intentionally hardens hearts. Our human minds scream that this isn't fair of God to do! God is setting these people up to fail and be condemned! But is that the truth? Join us as we delve into Joshua chapter 10 where we see God hardening the hearts of pagan kings, a…

When we read the book of Deuteronomy, it may read like a checklist of things God's people are commanded to do, and things God's people are commanded not to do. But if that's all you are getting out of it, you are missing a lot! Deuteronomy is not so much a checklist for us, as it is for God - listing all of the things God does for His people. How d…

This week we are finishing up the book of Numbers and got to the story of the daughters of Zelophehad. The have no brothers, so they ask to inherit their dead father's share of the Promised Land.

When we think of the book of Leviticus, we often think of the endless laws, regulations, and offerings. But God also instituted seven festivals in Leviticus that the Israelites were to celebrate together with food, fellowship, and joy! What do these festivals tell us about God?

From creation, God has appointed men to be strong, good, Godly leaders of their wives, their families, and the church. The first sin committed was a result of Adam not asserting that role and instead, being passive. We saw it with Abraham and Jacob as well. And Aaron was no better in the narrative of the golden calf in Exodus 32. Throughout Scriptu…

Is there anything harder than waiting?! Especially, when what you are waiting on is a good thing - something you feel God is calling you to. But our timing is not God's timing.

The Book of Job is known for two things: showing how "bad" things can happen even to "good" people, and showing the absolute sovereignty of God, even over Satan.

Peter is a man of few words. He gets to his point and is often very blunt. In his masterful letter, 1 Peter, Peter shows a great dichotomy between those who belong to God and those who don't. He gives us the parameters of each of the two groups, as well as each groups response to God, and God's response to them. As a bonus, this passage in 1Peter a…

Probably the most fought against doctrine is the doctrine of election. But this doctrine is not just about whether we have the freedom to choose Jesus or not.

After Jesus' resurrection, He appears to some of His disciples on the beach of the Sea of Galilee. Peter is so excited to see Jesus, he runs in hauling a huge net of fish all by himself.

Some of the hardest passages in Scripture to emotionally get through are the Passion passages. Sometimes, we are so caught up in what Jesus had to endure for us, that we can pass over somethings.

In this episode, we look at another puzzling quote from Jesus. When debating with the Sadducees, Jesus tells them when we rise from the dead, we will be like the angels. What did Jesus mean by this?

While Jesus is teaching, His mother and brothers show up and tell someone to go get Jesus and tell Him to come out to them.

Many of us are familiar with Matthew 4:1 - 11 - a tired and hungry Jesus who has just spent 40 days in the wilderness – which was more like a dessert than a forest – and He hasn’t eaten anything.

Most of us are familiar with the hymn, "As the Deer." That hymn was based on Psalm 42. But what is the Psalmist in Psalm 42 really talking about?
