God has more for us than we even realize. We can have great church, worship, and moves of God, and there is still more God wants for us. The young man in our text was a good man. He had kept the law since his youth and had obtained great wealth. He was comfortable. We can be good people with great possessions and still lack the thing we need the most. It is not enough to be good. This young ruler...

The story of Hosea is a sad one. God compelled him to marry a prostitute, resulting in a great deal of heartache and sadness in Josea to the point that he was ready to divorce her because he could not stand it anymore. Our text picks up in the middle of that lament, where Josea expresses another chance at the redemption of the relationship. Hosea’s story is, of course, a metaphor for God’s relatio...

Our text is commonly called the beatitudes. It is Jesus laying out the foundation for the kingdom of God. The word beatitude has its root in happiness, but not happiness as the world knows it. Often our worldly happiness is tied to circumstances, so the better definition of beatitude is joy. There is joy in living for God. The psalmist talks about the man who meditates on the word of the Lord is l...

In our text, we read about 26,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin, plus an additional 700 men who were left-handed and could use a sling with great accuracy. We know from one of the most famous stories in the bible that the sling could be deadly accurate against a giant. Still, the sling is often regarded as insufficient in the face of battle. A sling is not as intimidating as a sword, but as Golia...

From the time of Moses, God had appointed judges over his people to deal with disagreements. At various times the people had disputes with these judges and wanted new ones. Our text represents a change in that system because, this time, the dissatisfied people wanted a King to rule over them. There is a danger in dissatisfaction, and there is always a cost with it. Brother Stevision talks about th...

Just as much as God wants us to advance and prosper, there is an enemy that wants to prevent all that God wants for us. Satan’s goal is to do whatever it takes to prevent us from getting to heaven. The enemy has a plan, and his first strategy is to convince people to question the power of God, that God is not who He says He is and cannot do what He promised. Many people can resist that strategy, a...
