Hello and welcome to this week’s Sunday conversation. We’re now in the book of 2 Chronicles, and this is a book that is rapidly discussing the ups and downs and significant decline of the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah. Remember, the sons of Solomon, Jeroboam and Rehoboam, started a civil war that did not end until both kingdoms had...
Hello and welcome to this week’s Sunday conversation. In our Bible reading, as we’ve been going through the chronological books of the Bible and reading it in a year, we’ve now come through First Chronicles. We’re still in the history section of the scriptures, looking at the history of Israel. This particular section of scripture begins with...
What you need to know is that nothing really happens in your life until you pray. In Psalm 18, David is giving God not only praise for giving him victory over his enemies, but he’s also giving us the memoir of how he was successful in 18 major wars that he fought. The thing that I love about David is that he’s very honest and transparent. He...
Hello and welcome to this Sunday conversation. We’re now in the book of Deuteronomy, and this is the last book in the Torah. Remember, the Torah, the first five books of the Bible written by Moses as the Lord gave him instructions, is very important not only in the Jewish faith but also in our understanding of who we are as Judeo — Christians....
Welcome to this Sunday conversation. At this point in our reading through the Bible, we’ve covered the four Gospels, and now we turn to the beginning of the Bible: the Book of Genesis. While no individual is named as the author of the Book of Genesis, from the very earliest Jewish and Christian traditions, we hold to the idea, and in many cases...
Welcome to this week’s Sunday conversation. This week, the reading covered the direct descendants of Abraham, primarily Isaac and Jacob, and the sons of Jacob. In this lesson, I want to draw your attention to an important time in the life of Isaac. Isaac is facing a famine. The chapter and verse is actually Genesis 26:1-5, and I’ll read it. There...
Hello and welcome to this week’s Sunday conversation. As we’ve been reading through the Bible since the beginning of the year, there’s certainly a tremendous amount of content that we’ve covered, from the Gospels now into Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus. As we continue to progress chapter by chapter and verse by verse, some of you may be watching...
Hello and welcome to this week’s Sunday conversation. As we continue to move through our reading of the Bible, we’re now in a section of Old Testament scripture that complements 1 and 2 Chronicles, where we recently read about the exile of Israel and Judah under Nebuchadnezzar and the lives of certain individuals through which we see the narrative...
Welcome to this week’s Sunday conversation. We’re now in the book of Second Kings. Now remember, First Kings and Second Kings are part of the history of the nation of Israel. Obviously, these two books follow those who sat on the throne. In a few weeks, we’ll begin discussing Chronicles 1 and 2 Chronicles, which will include some of the same names...
Hello and welcome to this week’s Sunday conversation. We’re on to the book of Judges. The book of Judges again is in the series of scriptural books that we call historical books, Joshua being the first. This book is a stark contrast to that of Joshua. Joshua is a story of how an individual, called of God to lead a nation to its destiny,...
