Journeying Through the Scriptures

There is a work to do in our homes, churches, and nation. Sin's work is destruction; God's work is construction. In Nehemiah we learn the principles of building up that which has been broken down.

The first step to rebuilding is returning. Is there a way back to God? By His grace, there is. Returning to the Lord in the message of Ezra.

You cannot decide for everyone, but you must decide for yourself! We all must decide what we will do with the Lord. This is the message to the nation of Israel and it is as true today as it was then.

Memory is a gift of God. It must be exercised to remember the right things. Chronicles was written to help God's people remember Him and His unchanging promises.

Wise people understand the consequences of disobedience. It is much easier to learn this from the failure of others than to experience it for yourself. The illustrations in the kings provides instruction for each of us.

Every man must choose between wisdom and folly. Solomon and his son are a reminder to choose very carefully. What you decide in your own heart will affect you home for generations to come.

Life is full of victories and defeats. Every believer deals with both triumph and tragedy. The life of David gives help you deal with the times of success and the seasons of failure.

In this book you will meet the prophet Samuel and the first two kings of Israel. More importantly, you will see the kind of man that God is looking for, the kind that He can bless and use - the man after God's own heart.
