Send us a Text Message.When we read some of the Psalms of David, we can be a little shocked at how boldly David asks God to curse his enemies. Were these Psalms, known as imprecatory prayers appropriate for David to pray? Are they appropriate for us to pray? Do they contradict Jesus' Words to love our enemies.

Send us a Text Message.In King David’s household, we see rape, murder, treason, deception, jealousy, hate, lack of accountability, lack of repentance, and a complete disregard for God and His Word. Considering that, how can David possibly say at the end of his life in 2 Samuel 23:5, that his house is right with God? And what implications does David's bold statement have for

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 that

Send us a Text Message.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 King!

Send us a Text Message.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 a

Send us a Text Message.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. What does

Send us a Text Message.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, allowin

Send us a Text Message.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. H
