God Sightings Week 22, June 13th – 19th

Old Testament: I Kings 11:1 – 21:29    Within these chapters we find one of the greatest heroes of the Bible – Elijah the Tishbite. He becomes a man that not only continues to work miracles, but also has no fear about standing up against the King himself.

God Sightings Week 18, May 2nd – 8th

Old Testament    One of the overarching themes that we find in Judges is the phrase, “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” As such, we repeatedly find these rather odd stories about “heroes” doing very non-heroic acts.

God Sightings Week 16, April 18th-25th

Old Testament: Joshua 15:1 – Judges 2:9    One of the overarching themes that we see presented in these sections – and into Judges as well – is the trouble that the Israelites encountered due to not fully driving out the inhabitants of the land. On careful reading of the text you’ll find several places [...]

God Sightings Week 12, Mar. 21st – 27th.

Old Testament: Numbers 30:1 – Deut. 6:25   There is an interesting statement made by God in Deut. 2:9, “the LORD said to me: ‘Do not harass Moab or engage them in battle, for I will not give you any of its land as a possession,

God Sightings Week 10, Mar. 7th – 13th

Old Testament – Numbers 8:1 – 20:29   In Num. 9 we have, what I believe to be, a show of grace. Throughout history, starting not long after the apostles had died, the church became mostly Gentile, and as a result, extremely racist.

Weekly Lunches

We’re starting something new this week, and I’m very excited about it. After talking with our college students they mentioned a great need they have – food on the weekends. So starting this coming week; instead of serving them lunch once per month, we will be having lunch every Sunday! Also, they have difficulties getting [...]

God Sightings Week 8, Feb. 22nd – 28th. 2010

Old Testament: Lev. 13:1 – 23:44   Even though reading through the ritual cleansings can seem a little long and dry; there are some interesting observations. One of my favorites has always been chapter 14 of Leviticus.

God Sightings: Week 6, Feb 1st – 7th

From Adam: Week 6, Feb 1st – 7th Exodus 13:17-27:21 Notice how in 13:19 we find Moses taking the bones of Joseph with him to the land of Canaan. They had been under oath to do so. What’s so big about that? Because it was a great demonstration of faith in what God had promised [...]

God Sightings – Week 4, Jan 25th – Jan 31st

Genesis 50:1 – Exodus 13:16 What never ceases to amaze me about the story of Joseph, which in concluded in the last chapter in Genesis, is the favor God supplied him with a pagan king! This wasn’t someone that knew Jehovah. This was a man, who, within the context of his culture and time was [...]
