Big Church Tonight
The Temple Teens will meet in Big Church tonight.
SRC: Historical Books – Day 23
Today’s Chapters: I Kings 7-11
Pete’s Thoughts:
I Kings 7
Here we find the specific pieces for the Temple being manufactured.
I Kings 8
It is amazing to consider that when the priests brought the ark of the covenant into the holy place, the glory of God so filled the Temple that they had to stop what they were doing. [...]
SRC: Historical Books – Day 22
Today’s Chapters: I Kings 2-6
Pete’s Thoughts:
I Kings 2
David’s last instructions to Solomon begins with David telling him that he is mortal. It is good to be reminded that with everything that seems so important in our life, we are all going to “go the way of all the earth” one day and leave everything behind. [...]
SRC: Historical Books – Day 21
Today’s Chapters: II Samuel 21-I Kings 1
Pete’s Thoughts:
II Samuel 21
I don’t know if there was something in the water or just they were just healthy eaters but those Philistines sure could put out those giants. The most famous one being, of course, Goliath. In this chapter we read about four more, one of which even [...]
SRC: Historical Books – Day 20
Today’s Chapters: II Samuel 16-20
Pete’s Thoughts:
II Samuel 16
This chapter shows us that not everything is fine in David’s kingdom. Absalom may have returned home but there was a strong under current that was moving things in the background. And it is all about to come to the surface.
II Samuel 17
Advice is an important thing in [...]
Camp Pictures!
Here are some pictures from our week at The Wilds last week.
SRC: Historical Books – Day 19
Today’s Chapters: II Samuel 11-15
Pete’s Thoughts:
II Samuel 11
This is one of the saddest chapters in the life of David. It all began when David was not where he should have been. He should have been leading his army into battle as was the season. It is amazing how one small decision can change your life [...]
SRC: Historical Books – Day 18
Today’s Chapters: II Samuel 6-10
Pete’s Thoughts:
II Samuel 6
This chapter illustrates the importance of following the word of God completely. David knew it was important to move the ark of the covenant closer to him. The way he went about it, however, was not proper. If he had read through the law, he would have know [...]
SRC: Historical Books – Day 17
Today’s Chapters: II Samuel 1-5
Pete’s Thoughts:
II Samuel 1
Saul and his sons are dead and the report of the battle finally reaches David. The messenger who tells him of the battle is an Amalekite. He thought that he would gain greater standing in David’s sight by lying about Saul’s death. He claimed that he killed Saul. [...]
SRC: Historical Books – Day 6
Today’s Chapters: Judges 2-6
Pete’s Thoughts:
Judges 2
This passage gives the transition from the book of Joshua to Judges. It explains the process that we will see over and over again of Israel forsaking God, being oppressed by their enemies, crying out to God, God sending a judge to deliver them, peace for a period of time [...]
SRC: Historical Books – Day 5
Today’s Chapters: Joshua 21-Judges 1
Pete’s Thoughts:
Joshua 21
Verses 43-45 relate an important truth – God always fulfills His promises. There has never, nor will ever be a time when one of God’s promises fails to come true. It is not in God’s nature to tell us something and then turn back on it, most people would [...]
SRC: Historical Books – Day 4
Today’s Chapters: Joshua 16-20
Pete’s Thoughts:
Joshua 16
This chapter continues the division of the land.
Joshua 17
More division of the land. One of the interesting parts of this chapter is verse 16. The children of Joseph ask for more land for their tribe with one of the reasons being that the Canaanites have chariots of iron. This may [...]
SRC: Historical Books – Day 3
Today’s Chapters: Joshua 11-15
Pete’s Thoughts:
Joshua 11
It must have been amazing to be a soldier preparing for battle and knowing that you will not be defeated. There is no fear or anxiety just confidence in the Lord. Where He promises, He fulfills. His word is ever true. We just need to have the faith to believe [...]
