One of the most familiar stories of the Bible is that of David and Goliath. This is a story of a young teen facing impossible odds and through the grace of God was victorious. The stance that David made is admirable. The faith that he displayed is inspirational. The commitment he had to God isContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#33)”

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. Even Samuel, who was a great person, could not keep his children in the fear of the Lord. The people who had notContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#32)”

The story of Samuel is one of my favorites. Here is a man who both began and finished well. That is a rare feat among today’s leaders and even many of the leaders in the Bible (of course not all the leaders in the Bible are trying to be good). However, Samuel is one whoseContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#31)”

This short book in the Old Testament is the first of two books named after women in the entire Bible. One may wonder why she is included in the Scripture. After all, she is not of Hebrew descent but was brought in through marriage. However, through her story, we see the faithfulness to God andContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#30)”

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. After reading about Samson’s life, we will be able to take away a better understanding of God’s workContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#29)”

Sometimes we just have to get our feet wet. Joshua was tasked as the new leader of Israel, to lead the people across the Jordan river and into the promised land. Everyone needed to be reassured that the Lord was still on their side. God was going to show Israel and all the dwellers ofContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#24)”
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. After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, an entire generation passed away. God raised up a new leader, Joshua, to take over where Moses leftContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#23)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#20)
Some people just have a hard time believing. No matter what God has done before, they still lack faith. The Israelites had recently witnessed ten plagues the Lord placed on the Egyptians but still murmured and complained that God and Moses led them into the wilderness to die. God will perform another miracle before their eyesContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#20)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#19)
Does your family have any traditions that are times of celebrations? More than likely, you do. It’s a way that we stay connected to our heritage. There are some traditions that probably should be changed, but there are those traditions that are so rich in meaning that it would be detrimental to a groups history byContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#19)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)
One of my favorite stories is the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the children are talking about the Christ-like figure, Aslan the Lion. The conversation goes, “Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh,” said Susan. “I’d thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? IContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)”
