It’s About Time | Barry Stagner
Barry Stagner from Behold Israel shares a message with us titled “It’s About Time”
Flourishing or Fading? Psalm 92 | Brent Smith
Psalm 92 serves as a reflection on the nature of God’s goodness and eternal faithfulness, emphasizing the importance of continual praise and worship. It presents a contrast between the flourishing of the righteous and the ultimate downfall of the wicked, illustrating the assurance found in living a life rooted in God’s love and righteousness.
Why Do the Wicked Get All the Breaks? Psalm 73 | Brent Smith
Though there are seeming inconsistencies of life that may challenge our faith in God, He is good and all things will come to their right conclusion. We must not let our faith be troubled but rather remain focussed on God where our faith triumphs.
Dwelling in the House of the Lord: Psalm 84 | Jeff Thompson
Psalm 84 is a song about the joy and blessedness of being in God’s presence, specifically within the Temple in Jerusalem. It expresses a deep longing for that presence, even describing a journey through hardship as preferable to being far from God. The psalm emphasizes God as a source of strength, protection, and joy for those who seek Him.
Lead Me to the Rock Higher Than I: Psalm 61 | Brent Smith
In times of trouble or distress we need to go to the One who is above our problems and greater than our circumstances. We must look to God who has been faithful and who continues to be a faithful rock in times of need.
All About Praise: Psalm 103 | Stewart Karpiuk
Our focus is to praise Him. In the trials, in the disappointments of life, in the exciting times, in bad times and in trying times.
The Return of the King: Matthew 28:1-20 | Brent Smith
The Resurrection of Jesus was the single greatest event in history. This chapter highlights the witnesses at the resurrection (1-8), the wonder accompanying the resurrection (9-15), and the way after the resurrection (16-20).
The Selection of Saul: 1 Samuel 9-10 | Brent Smith
We left off last time with Israel demanding a king to rule over them, that they may be like all the other nations. They wanted a king to go out before them and fight their battles for them. This is not God’s will for them at this time, but He’s going to give them what they want, and it’s going to be to their detriment and judgment. In our study today we look at the selection of Israel’s first king.
The Darkness Before the Dawn: Matthew 27:45-66 | Brent Smith
The events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus were profound and purposeful. They depict for us what was being accomplished in the redemptive plan of God. We see in our passage the reason for the cross, the results from the cross, and the response after the cross.
The King on the Cross: Matthew 27:27-44 | Brent Smith
Even in the depths of humiliation, God orchestrates redemption. Though Jesus was mocked, suffered, and rejected, He demonstrates that the real work of the Lord lies in grace and sacrifice.
The Demand for a King: 1 Samuel 7-8 | Brent Smith
In 1 Samuel 7-8, the Israelites, after years of oppression, repent and turn back to God, seeking His help against the Philistines. Samuel, a prophet and judge, leads them in prayer and sacrifice, and God answers with a resounding victory. However, the people then demand a human king, rejecting God’s rule, a request Samuel reluctantly fulfills, but warns them of the consequences of their choice.
