  • Samson Part 2

    Read Judges 14-16 (I know this a long reading, but it’s worth it)                 I hope were able to read about Samson’s exploits.  The reason I asked you to read the whole thing is purposeful.  When you read all of it, it’s easier to see the thread that runs through Samson’s entire life – revenge. …

  • Samson Part 1

    Judges 13:1-5 – Again the Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight, so the Lord handed them over to the Philistines, who oppressed them for forty years. In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had…

  • Who Is Your Moses? Your Joshua?

    Joshua 1:1-6 – After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide:  “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites.  I…

  • Faithing Together

    Exodus 17:8-13 – The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.  Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites.

    Exodus 14:21-31Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and God, with a terrific east wind all night long, made the sea go back. He made the sea dry ground. The seawaters split.The Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground with the waters a wall to the right and to the left. The…

  • I Have Great Reasons for Resisting…

    Read Exodus 3 – 4:16 (The Calling of Moses) A much longer scripture today so I’ll keep it short.  This story of Moses’ call is very dear to me.  I so identify with Moses’s objections to what God wanted him to do.  I could not imagine myself doing what God was calling me to do…
