AGAIN WE find it impossible to get through more than a few chapters of the incredible Book of Hebrews. These chapters make the case for the superiority of Jesus and the new covenant in his blood to the old covenant under the Law given to Moses.
THE MOST famous confrontation between a prophet of the Lord and prophets of a fallen lesser elohim is at the center of today's study. Of course we're referring to the showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel.
THE SUPREMACY of Jesus is the theme of the Book of Hebrews. This week, we discuss his mission to restore humanity to the divine council, which will culminate in a wonderful scene on the mount of assembly.
THE TALE of two kingdoms continues in our Old Testament study this week. We get the stories of the northern kings of Israel Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, and Omri, and the southern kings of Judah Abijah, Asa, and Jehoshaphat.
ENDURANCE THROUGH suffering. That's the overarching message of the epistle of 1 Peter. But there's a lot more in there that we had forgotten.
THE DIVISION of the kingdom of Israel is the focus of our Old Testament study this week. Rehoboam gets bad advice from his young friends, not just rejecting the request of the northern tribes for tax relief, but doing so with a rather crude euphemism.
CHURCH LEADERSHIP and proper behavior for Christians is the focus of Paul's letters that we study this week. Timothy had been left in charge of the church Ephesus, while Titus had been left on the island of Crete to shepherd the new church there.
ENTANGLEMENTS WITH cares of the world, whether it's business, politics, or personal relationships, can distract us from what we're called to do by God.
OUR STUDY in the New Testament this week focuses on military formations and tactics, although it might not seem that way at first.
ANOTHER BOOK of wisdom attributed to Solomon is our Old Testament study this week. The collected sayings of "the Preacher" are generally gloomy, but only in that they remind us of the folly of pursuing material things apart from God.
