1 Samuel Chapter 28:1-9. Episode 261
In this week’s lesson from 1 Samuel 28:1-9, we read about how Saul continues to be out of God’s will when he desperately looks for a witch to give him direction. I do not believe it is a coincidence that we are reading about Saul going to a witch on a week that the world will be celebrating...

-
1 Samuel 24:13 thru 25, Episode 259

-
1 Samuel Chapter 20, Episode 255
In this week’s lesson from 1 Samuel Chapter 20 we read about how Jonathan protected David from his father’s wrath. One take away from this lesson is that God will always give us the support we need. During the trying times of your life, when we were ready to throw the towel in, who was our...
-
1 Samuel 17:52-58 thru Chapter 19, Episode 254
In This episode we continue to see how Saul’s jealousy of David leads to him trying to kill David. If we are experiencing any jealousy, we must be honest with God about it and ask God to remove it. Jealousy can take you to an ugly place just like it took Saul over. We also see in this episode how...
-
1 Samuel 17:1-51, Episode 253
One take away from this episode is that Goliath can represent any problem or situation that we think is too big or too hard for us. It doesn’t matter how big the situation seems, our God is bigger. We must remember that we belong to God and He has promised to fight our battles for us. We only…

-
1 Samuel 13:15 - 14:46, Episode 250
As the Israelites continue to fight with the Philistines we saw that Jonathan became a hero because he believed God would help them and God did. Let’s pray for that kind of crazy faith that knows our God will help us and defeat our enemies no matter how outnumbered we appear to be. #christian...

more -
1 Samuel 6:10 - 8:5, Episode 246
One take away from this lesson is the power of repentance. When the Israelites were led to revival and repentance by Samuel they got God’s attention and won the battle.

Judges Chapter 20:21 thru Chapter 21, Episode 240
Praise God we finished the last two Chapters of Judges! The Book of Judges caused us to see how low our sin nature can go without God in our lives.

more -
Judges Chapters 9:7 thru 10:16, Episode 231
In this episode from Judges Chapters 9:7 thru 10:16 the Israelites got God’s attention when they put away all the idols they were worshipping. Are we worshipping any idols? Remember that for us an idol can be anything we put before God (money, fame, ministry, a man, a woman, etc.) God has to be...
-
Judges Chapters 8 - 9:6, Episode 230
In this episode from Judges Chapters 8 - 9:6, we see thru Gideon that our fallen sinful nature can get us into a lot of trouble. I think Paul summed it up best in Romans 7:21-25 ‘…when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong…’ (NLT) The book of Judges continues to show us how...
-
Judges Chapter 7, Episode 229
If anyone is going thru a test or a trial, this week’s lesson from Judges Chapter 7 should be encouraging to you. God thru Gideon used 300 men to defeat 135,000 men. Sound impossible? Well that is just the kind of victories God has in store for us. It might look like the odds are against us but...
-
Judges Chapter 6, Episode 228
In this week’s lesson from Judges Chapter 6, we read about the fifth judge, Gideon. We noticed in verse 12 that God called Gideon by the name of what he would become, ‘a might man of valor (a hero)’. God sees us as who we will become also - the righteousness of God in Christ, as the head and not...

-
Judges Chapters 2 - 3, Episode 226
In this episode from Judges Chapters 2-3, we read God’s reaction to the Israelites failure to drive all the Canaanites out of the Land. God will no longer drive the enemy out for them and He will allow their enemies to oppress them. However, we see God’s mercy at work in Chapter 3 because He…
more -
Judges Chapter 1, Episode 225
The Book of Judges is one of the saddest and darkest Books of the Bible. As we begin reading this Book, I want us to think about what happens to a Nation when they forget about God. Also, think about our Nation and all that is going on now. When a Nation or people ignore God or refuse to walk in...
-

In this episode from Joshua Chapter 10:14-43, we read the details on how the Israelites defeated 5 kings and their armies of the Southern kingdom in Canaan land. After the battle they returned to their home base of Gilgal. I believe this is significant because Gilgal could be seen as their…
more -

-
Joshua Chapter 8, Episode 215
In this episode we read about the Israelites victory over Ai. One thing we should take note of is how the Israelites included and treated the foreigners and those who were not Israelites. What we should learn from this is that we should remember that non Christians are always watching us. Do we...
-
Joshua Chapter 7, Episode 214
In this week’s lesson from Joshua Chapter 7, we read about how God allowed the Israelites, His chosen people, to lose a battle because they sinned and disobeyed Him. Achan took some of the items from their Jericho victory instead of dedicating those items to God as God had instructed them to do....
