Two Lepers

Jim Leffel
2 Kings 5:1-27

Jim Leffel discusses a tale of two lepers, Naaman and Gehazi, which reveals elements of Biblical irony. Naaman was an honorable Aramean army captain and far from God while Gehazi was Elisha's servant. Naaman eventually humbled himself and trusted in God's grace. His life was transformed and he sought God's reputation over this world, while Gehazi's life was destroyed as he sought the world and misrepresented God.\r\n

Crossing the Jordan

Josh Benadum
Joshua 4:8-24

In order to continue to conquer the land of the Canaanites, the Israelites had to cross the Jordan River, which was a dangerous prospect and a great unknown. It represented a defining moment--something that all of us experience as we are faced with the choice to invite Christ into our life, deciding to live for Him, facing major opposition, speaking up for God, or making a major life decision. This passage teaches us strategies for dealing with these times, including preparing ourselves, letting God lead, taking the first step of faith He asks, and then remembering and sharing what you learn.

Elisha and the Widow

Jim Leffel
2 Kings 4:1-7

An impoverished widow cries out to Elisha while she is in crisis. In general, poverty has deeply personal, spiritual, and communal dimensions; thus, a millionaire can have an impoverished inner life. Like the widow, we can present all we have to God and take steps of faith to allow Him into our poverty and find help. Like He did with the widow, God uses community (i.e. the church) to help those without material and/or spiritual resources.\r\n

Everything is Going According to Plan Part Two

Chris Hearty
Romans 11:1-36

Paul continues his argument that God's plan for Israel has not failed. On the contrary, it is bigger than anyone could have imagined. Anyone who believes, and receives the free gift of salvation, becomes a part of God's grand plan. God has neither forgotten not rejected Israel. He will in due time return His attention to restoring Israel.

Abraham

Mike Sullivan
Genesis 12:1-15:6

The story of Abraham demonstrates how unlikely people can be used by God for great things when they have a willingness to act on God's truth while depending on God to perform His will. Like Abraham, everyone can receive right standing with God and participate in His plan when they put their faith in Him.

God's Covenant with Abraham

Gary DeLashmutt
Genesis 12:1-3

Find out why many scholars think the Abrahamic Covenant is the most important passage in the Bible and why God picked Abraham. God did the heavy-lifting in this bilateral treaty but Abraham responded in faith to His initiative. What is our response to God's initiation in our lives?

Friends of God

Chris Hearty
Romans 5:0

Faith is not a blind leap but a trusting in God and His promises. We can boldly enter the throne room of grace if we have been declared righteous by faith in Jesus Christ. While we were still sinners, God made a way for us to be friends with God through faith in Jesus Christ. Now that we are friends with God, we can rejoice and have peace in all circumstances.

Defining Faith

Conrad Hilario
Romans 4:1-25

Paul explains that Biblical faith is not based on good works, ritual, or law, but rather it is a willingness to act, based on God's truth, while trusting in His promises. Using Abraham as an example, Paul illustrates that that is how people have been credited as righteous before God from the very beginning until today. We, too, are not only saved by this type of faith, but it is also the key to spiritual growth.
