When we face trials, many of us often feel abandoned by God, left to suffer alone. Yet our suffering not only has purpose; it also helps us see the beautiful character of our Lord! In part 3 of our 4-part series of Divine Portraits of God, Chris walks us through the delicate subject of suffering from the book of Lamentations. …
We all see God differently. But most of us think first of His love and goodness to us, so we associate the beauty He created and the happiness He provides with Him.

But this week we’ll consider Romans 11:28–29, a short passage Paul …
Everybody needs a reset at some point. When things go wrong, we wish we could start fresh. Thanks to God’s instructions for the Promised Land, Israel had this opportunity! This week and next we’ll learn about the year of Jubilee, a uniquely identifying part of Israel’s culture. Every seven years, the Land of Israel was allowed a sabbath rest. This …
How you read your Bible matters. When people reject what God has clearly said to make the Bible fit their own agenda, they misunderstand Him, and their misguided theology leads to trouble. That’s why people that called themselves Christians have done some terrible things throughout history, including persecution of God’s Chosen People, Israel. Today we see confusion about the Kingdom …
Last week we learned that Jesus’ birthplace of Bethlehem was no ordinary little town. It was the subject of a prophecy from Micah 5:2 revealing the birthplace of the Messiah, which the Jewish people knew well.
