Jeremiah is the second of the “major prophets” of Scripture, following Isaiah by roughly a century. Like Isaiah, he was called directly by the LORD, spoke at the national level, and confronted kings, priests, and false prophets. Yet in temperament and experience, Jeremiah could hardly be more different. Where Isaiah seems to stride confidently into his calling, Jeremiah shrank back from it. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of t

Abraham had waited decades for this son. Isaac was not merely a child; he was the child of promise, born when hope seemed biologically and humanly impossible. Every dream Abraham carried for the future was wrapped up in this one boy. And it is precisely here that God speaks the hardest words a father can hear: “Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest…” (Genesis 22:2)

Isaiah (700s BC, Ussher) stands at the head of the prophetic books as the first of the major prophets, not because he was the earliest chronologically, but because of the scope, depth, and spiritual reach of his vision. Through Isaiah, God shows us why prophecy is necessary, and why His people cannot live by history, ritual, or memory alone. “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.” (Is

If you were called into court to prove you were a Christian, would you have enough evidence to convince the judge? Would your testimony and lifestyle convince a jury of your peers? Paul's testimony and missionary work left no doubt wherehe stood. One day, Jesus said, every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.--Marrhew 12:36 Let's make our words count for Jesus and His kingdom. Learn how from Paul!

I never once doubted my salvation until I went to college. Why? ---I was born into a Christian home where we read the Bible every day. ---Jesus was a part of my daily life, and I knew He loved me. ---The world challenged me as the devil challenged Eve with the question: Hath God said? Salvation is simple. Jesus said the Father hath revealed it unto babes. Matthew 11:25 "whosovever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. -John 3:15 It's simple:

I have made countless appeals in my life because an unjust decision was made. Often something was clearly wrong and needed to be overturned. Sometimes those in positions to make decisions would not act. Every appeal is made to one with more power and with a hope of justice. Paul's appeal was to the Emperor Nero, an iffy situation. but the Lord saw him through. *****************

Acts 23 opens immediately after Paul’s defense before the Jewish council (the Sanhedrin). He begins boldly: “Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.” (v.1) That single sentence triggers outrage.

“My son…”With those words, Solomon addressed Rehoboam again and again in the Book of Proverbs. More than twenty times, the wisest man who ever lived pleaded with his son to listen, to walk in the fear of the Lord, to avoid evil companions, and to treasure wisdom. Rehoboam heard it all. And Rehoboam ignored almost all of it. This is not just a story from 1 Kings 12 — it is the story of many Christian parents watching their adult children turn away from the very truths they

Key Verse:“I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”— Acts 21:13 Acts 21 is a turning point in the Book of Acts. It carries us from Paul’s missionary freedom into his years of imprisonment — years in which the Gospel will reach kings, governors, and even Caesar’s household.

Prophecy matters because God Himself says it matters. Prophecy is not a game, nor a hobby, nor a codebook to unlock the future.It is the self-revelation of the living God, given for the good of His people.

Every generation must choose which path to follow — the one grounded in Scripture, or the one swept along by spiritual storms. Only the Shepherd leads safely.

The prophet Elijah was exhausted. He had faced down the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, prayed fire down from heaven, slew the false prophets, and then fled from Jezebel’s wrath into the wilderness.He sat beneath a juniper tree and prayed, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life.”

The question is not just, “Is this allowed?” but rather, “Does this glorify Christ?” Paul* (5-67) commands, “So glorify God in your body” (1 Cor. 6:20).

I see the glory of God as I look out my window. ---His eternal and invisible Glory is clearly manifest in His creation! ---Those who ignore it imperil their souls and risk the wrath of God. ---Ask the Lord to open your eyes and see it. When you do, you will rejoice with Joy Unspeakable and full of Glory! ****************************

As a boy, I began to understand sovereignty and authority through my father. He was not a king but he ruled the household and family he created. We a;; understood his provision and his authority, and obeyd in live. God is a King and a Father too, not just over us but over all His creation. His throne sits atop the universe, which is like a bowl beneath Him, and all is under His control.

They saw the God of Israel - That is, they had some glimpse of his glory, in light and fire, though they saw no manner of similitude. They saw the place where the God of Israel stood, ... They saw not so much as God's feet, but at the bottom of the brightness they saw a most rich and splendid pavement, as it had been of sapphires, azure, or sky - coloured. The heavens themselves are the pavement of God's palace, and his throne is above the firmament.- John Wesley (1703-1791)

Scripture is the basis of Christian theology, doctrine, and worship. All 66 books tell the story of Jesus, as Creator, Savior, and King.

The Wrath of God is larger than time, a consuming fire, and abides on all who reject the Son. Only one Escape – the cross of Jesus Christ.

I learned the Ten Commandments before I went to school. ---They were a part of public school life until an atheist got them thrown out. ---Why would anyone do that? She took them as an affront. ---They were meant to be an affront, an affront leading to salvation. The devil hates them because they will lead us to Jesus, and they will. *****************************
