The Greatest Feast of All!
1 Kings 4:7 “Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household. Each man had to make provision for one month in the year.” It’s so interesting that the Bible makes mention of King Solomon’s eating habits. We are told of his sumptuous meals and the means whereby…

Look and Live!
1 Peter 4:6 “For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.” Some passages of Scripture are more difficult to understand than others. Peter said as much when he wrote, “Paul…

If You Could Have Anything
1 Kings 3:9-14 “’Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?’ It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.

So What’s Reasonable?
Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Some things make no sense.

Seeds
1 Peter 1:23-25 “You have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; for ‘All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever.’ And this word is the good…

It’s Personal
1 Peter 1:20-21 “He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.” Do you like personalized…

Followers: The Two Types
2 Samuel 19:29-30 “And the king said to him, ‘Why speak any more of your affairs? I have decided: you and Ziba shall divide the land.’ And Mephibosheth said to the king, ‘Oh, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home.’” If you call yourself a follower of Jesus Christ,…

A Ransom
1 Peter 1:18-19 “You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” One of the most frequent means that terrorists in our day and age use to inflict…
