How Do You Relate to the God Who Has No Needs?

James Rochford

2 Samuel 7

How do you relate to a God who has no needs? You trust that He does not want to take from you anything that is worth anything. You focus on God's promises, not what you think you deserve. You accept and appreciate what God has already given you.

Do Not Quench the Spirit

Lee Campbell

1 Thessalonians 5:19-22

It can be difficult to understand the meaning of the command to not quench the Spirit since it is put in the negative. If we change it to the positive it may be better understood. To not quench the Spirit means to walk in and keep in step with the Spirit by glorifying God, following His leadership and by pursuing righteousness.

More to Reality than Meets the Eye

Mike Sullivan

Ezekiel 26:1-28:19

Reflecting on Ezekiel's fulfilled prophecies, we see that God is involved throughout history. In light of Ezekiel's prophecy about Satan, we must learn how to guard ourselves against God's enemy.

Give Us a King

Dennis McCallum

1 Samuel 8-10

The time of the Judges is ending and the people clamor for a king like the other nations. Although God knows this will end badly for the Israelites, He agrees to their demand because He has a better king in mind for the future.

Valley of Dry Bones

Chris Hearty

Ezekiel 37:1-27

The Rise of the Antichrist and the End of the World

Scott Risley

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Paul follows up a previous letter to a relatively new Christian community in Thessalonica that had been upset by some false information spread about the antichrist and the end of the world. Paul reminds them of what he had taught them earlier about all the signs to look for of the end of the age and reassures them they had not missed the rapture.
