We are continuing to look at God’s will expressed through his choice. Deuteronomy 12:1-7 is the first place that we have “bahar” in the context of Yahweh choosing a place. However, I could not help but ask this question: Where is the first place God chose to dwell with his creation? He chose to dwell…

Let us pray…Gracious and loving God, we thank you this day for all those in our lives who have been a mom, like a mom, or stepped in to be a spiritual leader in our lives. Guide our hearts to welcome your Spirit into our presence in this time that we may be able to open our hearts, our minds, and our…

Christians ought to be bold in showing the world the message of salvation even though it is opposed to it.

Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.” 3 Early the next morning Abraham got up…

Introduction Scripture is full of examples where men and women are placed by God for His purpose. We talked a few weeks ago about Esther and her placement. Daniel is another example.
