A discussion about the first ten chapters of 2 Samuel with a few comments on Psalms.

For the unredeemed sinner, selfish motivation is to be expected. For the Christian however, "looking out for # 1" should mean looking out for our 1 and only Lord and Savior!

We should all pray for discernment, because things are not always as they seem.

Discussion on 1 Samuel

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. However, you can't learn from history if you do not learn it correctly to begin with.

What do you pray when hard times come? Psalm 141 is a great example from King David of how we should approach God when adversity strikes.

God finally gave Hannah the son she had longed for, but only after she was willing to give it all to Him. What are YOU willing to give?

Israel wanted a king because they basically rejected God's leadership. If you want God to help you in your life, you need to acknowledge that God is King enough for you!

When her husband and sons died, to Naomi it seemed all hope had been lost. This must have been the same way Jesus' followers felt after He died on the cross and was buried without restoring the nation of Israel. Both would learn however, that it was NOT too late!

Discussion from Mar 27

A woman's role in society, as well as in the church, has been oft misunderstood throughout history and even today. Judges chapter 4 offers great insight into the woman's rightful role in the service of God.

Jesus is no wimp. He is a sword toting warrior and is described as such at different points in Scripture. Do not let His meek and humble entry into Jerusalem fool you!

As Moses passes the torch of leadership to his successor Joshua, there is much to be examined about Moses' career and how it applies to us.

Israel's wandering in the wilderness and later failure to capture all the lands God had promised them is a picture of our failure to live up to our potential in Christ. Like Israel, we are settling for less.

In Moses' final charge to the people of Israel, he wanted to instill in them the importance of remaining true to the One True God. It is advice we would be well to follow today!

When we recognize the many blessings God has bestowed upon us, we must not grow haughty with the assumption these blessings are rewards for our faithfulness.

The Social Security Act was passed in order to secure American's future. The way God set up the land of Canaan followed a similar motive for Israel's future.

We are to be cautious of where stumbling blocks can arise from, always remembering Satan and his cronies can have a very subtle approach.

Israel was under a covenant agreement with God, chose not to fulfill their obligations within it and therefore suffered the consequences. As humans, we too are accountable to God. Are you holding up your end of the bargain or is your sin leading you to destruction? PART 1 OF 2

Like the Israelites wandering in the wilderness, we are blessed tremendously by God. Don't let the trials of life let you miss that.
