The Wisdom Books—A Life Tool Kit
Let's take one more look together at the amazing "life tool kit" God has given us in the Wisdom Literature. When you consider how precious life is and how important it is for us, our children and future generations that we walk in wisdom, the purpose of these 5 books is wildly significant. (An overview of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon.)
Psalm 49—Why Should I Fear in Times of Trouble?
CBC Elder, Scott Schultz, showed us that Psalm 49 provides some powerful answers to this ever-relevant question.
Psalm 139
CBC member, Bill Pence, shared with us from this great psalm about a great God.
Psalm 84—The Value of Worship
CBC Member, Bill Pence shares with us from one of his favorite psalms.
Psalms—Praise the Lord
There's no book like it! The Book of Psalms provides a unique key to understanding God's Story. It teaches and highlights God's greatness. God's nearness. God's wisdom. God's mercy. God's love. It gives us a picture of how God's people have worshiped Him in the past. It tells us that believers from different times and different cultures loved and followed this same God of ours. It comforts us by showing us that they—like us—struggled with God's decisions and commands. They found great joy in following God! They also despaired in times when He seemed silent. The Book of Psalms is a treasure. Enjoy!
2 Kings—Our Fathers Have Not Listened
Our journey from Genesis to Revelation brings us to 2 Kings. This book is mostly about the failure of generation after generation of kings in Israel and Judah. Sound encouraging and exciting? You might be surprised.
1 Kings—Between Two Opinions
First Kings is full of wisdom for those who want to do what is right in God's eyes, so listen and store up some wisdom together.
1 Samuel—The Lord Looks at the Heart
What is God doing in history? What does ancient history have to do with us today? These are the bottom line questions we have to answer when we look at a book like 1 Samuel. Is it irrelevant to our lives today? Then, let's just cut it out of our Old Testaments. But, if God gave it to us, then we need to understand it. We need to understand how it fits into God's story.
Christ—The First Fruits
Jesus rose from the dead on the Feast of Firstfruits. Why did He pick that day? Was there any significance or was it just coincidence? Is there any significance for us today? This Easter Sunday message is a close look at Firstfruits.
Ruth—A Journey to Fullness
Ruth comes right after the Book of Judges—a gloomy book full of all kinds of failure on the part of the nation of Israel. Ruth is set in that time period and provides a ray of sunshine in the midst of the dark ages of Israel's history.
