1st Samuel

Audio

May 2009
  • 1st Samuel 16
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: If we knew where the roads of our lives came together, would we pay more attention? God wastes nothing in our lives. He knows what He is doing! God uses time to bring about what He has already decided to do!

  • 1 Samuel 16:14-23
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: It's not WHAT we look like ... it's what we are. Our looks will fade. God looks at our inward spiritual nature. Others may misunderstand us, but God understands and loves us perfectly in spite of ourselves.

  • 1 Samuel 17
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: David does not have a clue about his great calling. Saul had won many battles by God's hand, but now he is self-willed, disobedient, arrogant, and prideful.

  • 1 Samuel 17, Part Two
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: This is the Story of David and Goliath. Every child who has ever sat in a Sunday School class has heard this story. But as grown up Christians we need to see more than a giant fight. We also have to look at God's unseen hand directing David's life as well as Goliath's life. It takes the eye of faith to look above the circumstances of our lives and see God's guiding hand in ALL things.

  • 1 Samuel 18
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: David was the instrument that God used in His own Sovereignty. We see more and more where Saul is becoming more deranged and how David is being elevated in all of Israel.

  • 1 Samuel 19
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: Saul knew the Lord was with David. Saul's mind became more suspicious and envy was the result. In this chapter we see God restrain evil.

  • 1 Samuel 20
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: David finds himself to be a fugitive, proving that just because someone has a mission and ministry from the Lord that life is not a bowl of cherries!

  • 1 Samuel 21
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: As far as Saul is concerned David is public enemy #1. David is on the RUN!

  • 1 Samuel 22
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: This is a exciting chapter. It has high drama. There are a lot of things we simply will not understand because they are directed from Heaven. Nonetheless we have to accept what we read though we may not understand the totality.

  • 1 Samuel 23-24
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: When we read the Bible we must see God's unseen eyes in all the details because God knows where He is taking each one of us. We need to remember that! David had a wonderful opportunity to kill King Saul, but he didn't. David gained victory over himself.

  • 1 Samuel 25
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: David doesn't look like the 'David' we saw in the last chapter. He takes matters into his own hands. He forgot who he was. We can do that too! Something horrible comes along and we fall apart and forget we are a child of God.

  • 1 Samuel 26
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: David has another opportunity to take Saul's life again and again he does not! David wrote Psalm 54 in reference to what is going on in 1 Samuel 26.

  • 1 Samuel 27
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: Last week we read where David spared Saul's life. He did not touch the Lord's annointed! This week is a sad chapter in David's life. He had great control of himself, however, here in this chapter he falls into despair and fear. David is running afraid.

  • 1 Samuel 28-30
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: Israel and the Philistines are going to have a huge battle. David has a HUGE problem because David is with the Philistines. David had made decisions based on his fears! David is probably in more danger than at any other time in his life.

  • 1 Samuel 31
    Dr. Lacy Couch from her Thinking Biblically series: This book started with the birth of Samuel. It ends with the death of Saul. Samuel did not fail in his ministry; he was faithful to the end. This is not true of Saul. Saul was self-willed.


2nd Samuel

  • 2nd Samuel 12
    Guest Teacher: Dr. Raj Kripalani: The Life of David in his most difficult moments.

  • 2nd Samuel 17
    Guest Teacher: Dr. Raj Kripalani: In this story we see a great God who is fighting our battles whether we realize it or not.

1 Kings

Audio

  • 1 Kings 18
    We have a plural society. We don't like to make a commitment to anything. It is unpopular to have a clear right and wrong. The Israels were worshiping Baal and the Living God. But God does NOT play second fiddle!

1 Chronicles

Audio

  • 1 Chronicles 29:9-30
    The Lord chose and loved David. He sinned big but he loved big! He was a musician and poet. He was a brave warrior. he spoke well. He was handsome. The Lord was with him. He was a loyal friend. He loved deeply. Promises made were promises kept. Setting: David is at the end of his life. A collection was made in order to build the temple. The temple would be constructed by David's son, Solomon.

EPHESIANS

August 2009

May 2007

  • Ephesians 1:1-4
    God's role in predestination. God is not passive. His arms are not folded. God is absolutely in charge of working out details of absolutely everything. As believers we have duties and responsibilities in the Christian life. The Apostle Paul addresses this in the book of Ephesians. So hold onto your seats it's going to be a bumpy ride.

  • Ephesians 1:5-10
    God adopted us as a son to Himself because of, or through, His Son, Jesus Christ. God is orchestrating this program. He saved us according to His kind intention of His will. God's in charge of salvation! These few verses are loaded with strong doctrinal words!

  • Ephesians 1:11-23
    Ephesians was the second most pagan city Paul had to deal with (Corinthians was the first most pagan city). The church of Ephesis was swimming in the sea of paganism! Here we have God's divine viewpoint!

  • Ephesians 2:11
    What covenants did God promise? How many people in America realize that the blessings of salvation comes through the Jewish people?

  • Ephesians 2:14-3:13
    The Apostle Paul is stunned about the change the Lord is performing combining the Jew and Gentile into 'one' spiritual body: The Age of Grace!

  • Ephesians 3:13-21
    The Apostle Paul wants us to understand something that is unexplainable and he saw the big picture of how God is working in those things that come against us. If we close our Bibles we will not understand!

  • Ephesians 4:17-32
    This passage perfectly illustrates the Doctrine of Total Depravity

  • Ephesians 4:30-5:10
    Most Christians really do not understand forgiveness. They make the mistake that if they are not angry anymore that they have forgiven that person. What is true Biblical forgivness?

  • Ephesians 5:10-32
    Elder David Gant teaches on how these verses can be applied to our Christian life and how they help us relate to one another in Christ.

  • Ephesians 6:1-5
    The Apostle Paul makes the rounds in the Christian Community.

  • Ephesians 6:6-24
    Paul had certain freedoms though he talks about being in chains

  • Introduction to Philippians
    Introduction to Philippians

  • Philippians 1 & 2
    God has purposes for whatever troubles we encounter.

  • Philippians 1:1-15
    We should not play games with worship. Worship has to be from the heart as well as the mouth. We should be worshiping in Christ Jesus, not in ourselves, not in our denominations, and not in our churches. The Apostle Paul opposes the self-esteem movement when he writes, "Put no confidence in the flesh."

  • Philippans 3:15-4:3
    Can believers be so fleshly, so in conflict with other believers, that they are enemies of the Cross?

  • Philippians 4:4-9
    The Lord is watching. He's not far off. Therefore, watch what you say and do in your moment to moment Christian walk.

    James is concerned about those who abuse their wealth.

1 PETER

July 2007

  • 1st Peter Introduction
    Who Is In Charge? Who Do We Think We Are?

  • 1st Peter 1:1-12
    The Apostle Paul wrote 13 outstanding letters to the church. They are logically tight and firm. Oftentimes we are guilty of forgetting about the Apostle Peter. Peteri s the main voice in the book of Acts. He is the apostle to the Jews. He was a fisherman, the one who denied Christ three times but we also forget that the other apostles simply slipped away. The Apostle Peter had a big ministry, possibly bigger than the Apostle Paul.

  • 1st Peter 1:13-16
    Peter goes from one link to the next link and keeps the thoughts going. Censure your mind as a belt, don't let your mind, your thinking get scattered, stay sober (meaning emotionally sober), fix your anticipation on the grace that will come by the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

  • 1 Peter 1:17-2:2
    There is no longer a sacrifical system. We're in a mobile age. God works in you and me and we represent the Lord Jesus Christ to the world. It's a different deal.

  • 1 Peter 2:2-12
    The church is made up of Jew and Gentile. The Epistles are written to the church age, but the bulk of Revelation is written for the Tribulation Age.

  • 1 Peter 2:13-20
    When should we obey the government and when should we not?

  • 1 Peter 2:21-3:4
    To this you were called because Christ suffered for you leaving you as an example that you should follow in His steps (-vs 21)

  • 1 Peter 3:5-12
    For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselve beautiful (-vs 5)

  • 1 Peter 3:22-4:11
    [Jesus Christ] who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand with angels, authorities and powers in submission to Him. (vs -22)

  • 1 Peter 4:7-19
    The end of all things is near. therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. (-vs 7)

  • 1 Peter 5:9-13
    Resist him [the devil], standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

  • 1 Peter 5:10-5:15
    And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

1 JOHN

November 2007

  • 1 John 1
  • 1 John 1:8
  • 1 John 2
  • 1 John 2:12
  • 1 John 2:18-26
    The apostle John talks about the forces that were coming against the church in his day.
  • 1 John 3:1
    The world can know us (Christians) to a degree, but there is always a stop point. That's because we're coming from a different orientation, a Biblical orientation.
  • 1 John 3:23
    John ties in our belief in Jesus with the love we should have for one another.
  • 1 John 4:11
    One thing John does constantly is put the Christian life as an ongoing thing. To paraphrase John would go something like this: 'If you don't see anything coming out of this person's life, the more likely this person is not saved." John is very concerned about fakes and phonies.
  • 1 John 5:6-12
    What is baptism? To dip or to immerse? Baptism explained!
  • 1 John 5:16
    The sin leading to death, explained. Also explained: Which sin does NOT lead to death?

  • Yom Kippur (Part One)
    Guest teacher, Steven Ger. Yom Kippur is probably the most important holiday of the Jewish year. Many Jews who do not observe any other Jewish custom will refrain from work, fast and/or attend synagogue services on this day. Yom Kippur occurs on the 10th day of Tishri. The holiday is instituted at Leviticus 23:26.

  • Yom Kippur (Part Two)
    Guest teacher, Steven Ger. The name "Yom Kippur" means "Day of Atonement". Yom Kippur during biblical times was not an ordinary day. The sacrificing on this day was not like any of the other sacrifices performed during the year. This once a year sacrifice required that the Kohen HaGadol (High Priest) enter the Kodesh Hakodashim (Holy of Holies) alone, it was just him and God. He took with him a vessel containing the blood of the goat upon which the sacrificial lot fell. This blood was then sprinkled on the kaporet (Mercy Seat), which covered the Aron HaKodesh (Ark of the Covenant) found in the Kodesh Hakodashim. If acceptable, that is if the animal sacrificed was without spot or blemish, God received the offering and declared the sins of b'nai Yisreal (the children of Israel) atoned for.
