The Ten Plagues are a powerful example of God bending man’s will to his own. We could talk about the power that God displayed in these ten plagues, but I want to look at the obduracy.
The Bible – Abraham Tested
Abraham Tested is the theme for the first lesson in our latest Bible study series. The History Channel created a series on a handful of chapters from the Bible. These videos will serve as a catalyst for discussion in our study.
Summer Catechism: The Doxology
The Doxology isn’t actually part of Scripture. To be sure, it’s Scriptural, but at it stands, the Doxology, as we know it – the last few words of the Lord’s Prayer – did not cross Jesus lips when he taught his disciples to pray.
Summer Catechism: The Seventh Petition
Deliver us from evil! This is the cry from the 7th petition. It’s not a fun exercise, but a look into the face of all the evil in the world can give us some perspective of all that our God fends away everyday. Yet there are some instances of evil that he allows into our lives. This week we look at evil in the world and how our almighty God protects us from it.
Summer Catechism: Fourth Petition
There are seven petitions in the Lord’s prayer, but only one that focuses on our daily needs. The fourth petition is important because it reminds us to pray for the things that God gives us everyday. We do this not to remind God, but remind ourselves 1) where these gifts come from and 2) to receive them with thanksgiving.
Summer Catechism: Third Petition
The third petition is all about God’s will. There are some who would scratch their head or put their finger in the air to try and figure out God’s will could be. All the while God has filled the pages of the Bible with his Holy Will.
