Scripture Reading Challenge (#32)
Did you know that Israel was tempted in keeping up with the Joneses. They were still on the roller coaster of morality and obedience that we found in the book of Judges.

The story of Samson is one of the incredible feats he performed by God’s Spirit. However, at times, it is difficult to understand what we can gain from these passages in Scripture that apply to us today.

Scripture Reading Challenge (#23)
Transitions from one part of life to another is never easy. People are resistant to change and are quick to defend against change. Israel went through such a transition.

SOM: Blessed are they which are persecuted
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

SOM: Blessed are the Meek
“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” – Matthew 5:5 Weak and meek are not the same the same thing. Jesus was anything but weak. He had power of demons, diseases, and death.
