As the northern kingdom of Israel turns away from God, we learn one valuable lesson: Listening to and obeying God’s Word is a protection on our lives.
An impossible situation. That’s where we find Daniel. The king has a dream and wants his wise men to interpret it or they will be executed. The catch? He won’t tell them what the dream is about. The exciting story of Daniel continues.
As the northern kingdom of Israel turns away from God, we learn one valuable lesson: Listening to and obeying God’s Word is a protection on our lives.
Nothing good comes from turning our backs on God. It’s a sobering reality we see in the people of Israel in Hosea’s timeand also in our culture today.
As our study of the Old Testament book of Hosea continues, we learn we’ve got a lot in common with Israel. We also learn we need to be fixing our hope on the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Join us in Hosea, chapter 3, for more of the intriguing story of Israel and how we can apply it to our lives as well.
A great many people think they can live the Christian life in their own strength, which always means defeat. That’s the wisdom our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, shares as we study how Joshua’s army got the victory at Jericho because God was leading the charge. But in their next battle against the small city of Ai, they were defeatedbecause they thought they could handle it on their own.
