Haggai and Zechariah, finish what you start, God always does

2023-08-26 by bible805

Haggai and Zechariah, lessonThese books were written 14‐16 years after the Jews went back to the land after their captivity. The return itself was a glorious work of God.

Once in the land, there were challenges when the surrounding people tried to stop them, but God intervened there also. The Israelites had seen God conquer and give victory in much greater problems and He took care of this situation also and they got permission from the king to continue building.

But they didn’t—even though God miraculously provided permission for them to continue building the temple, they got distracted, a lot like we do from the work God gives us to do. [Read more…]

Whiner, Worker, Witness or Wonder Lessons learned from Ezekiel and Daniel

2023-08-10 by bible805

Ezekiel and Daniel, Worker, Whiner, Witness, or WonderThe setting for this lesson is that—time has run out. After hundreds of years of warnings and challenges, it’s over for Judah.

Daniel and Ezekiel are in Babylon taken there in an early deportation before the end came in Jerusalem. What seemed horrible to them at the time was a great blessing in disguise— they were kept from the horrors of the siege, the total destruction of Jerusalem, and final deportation. Daniel and his 3 friends were taken to the palace; Ezekiel was relocated with the captive people, near the river. [Read more…]

Infographic of the last five kings of Judah, Josiah to the captivitythat makes sense!

2023-07-24 by bible805


I have always had a hard time figuring out the final years of the Southern Kingdom of Israel before it went into captivity, especially figuring out who was king and when.

It doesn’t help at all that one of the major books about the time, Jeremiah isn’t in order in how he relates God’s judgment—he jumps back and forth between various kings and with their similar names, Jehoiakim, Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz, plus their father/grandfather Josiah—I got confused.

Fall of Israel, how falling is never final with our God

2023-06-23 by bible805

The Fall of IsraelWhen God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, they met God at Mt. Sinai and there God not only gave them the 10 Commandments and His other laws for how to live, but He offered them a covenant, an agreement with Him that if they would obey and follow His commands, they would be His people, His treasured possession who He would bless.

Hosea, the Prophet, how God uses human lives as lessons

2023-06-08 by bible805

Jonah, about so much more than a fish, plus the imperative of follow-up for new Christians

2023-05-28 by bible805

Lesson on Jonah and the importance of follow-up for new ChristiansWe all know about the fish swallowing Jonah, but there is more in the book including the answers to these questions:
–What about people who haven’t heard the gospel if Jesus is the only way to God?

First, most people think of the prophecies of Jesus’ coming, and though that is important and a significant validation of the truth of the Christian faith, only 2% of prophecies are about the coming of Jesus. [Read more…]

2023-04-30 by bible805

David, great goodness and great sins, always a man after God's own heartThe Bible calls David, a man “after God’s own heart.” This phrase is part of a sermon of Paul’s in Acts 13:22—where he is talking about the history of Israel, and Paul says, “After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ [Read more…]
