    Genesis 8 – But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.

    Esther 7 – So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther’s banquet, and as they were drinking wine on the second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted.” Then Queen Esther…

  • Esther – For Such a Time as This

    Pastor Eric’s Devo July 25, 2024 Read Esther 4:1-17 A bit of background for the scripture above. This is a quick summary of Chapters 1-3. The King of Persia was having a wild drunken party. In the midst of the party he has the wonderful idea that he would like to show off his beautiful…

  • Elisha Overlooked

    Read 2 Kings 4:8-37 – Elisha raises a boy back to life As was mentioned yesterday, Elisha had been groomed and mentored by Elijah for the work of the prophet. And Elijah’s investment paid off.

  • David, Goliath, & You

    Read 1 Samuel 17 – It’s too long to post here. It’s the story of David and Goliath.  See if you notice details that you didn’t know about before.  I’ll be here when you come back.                 This story has been used to illustrate how any battle can be won with the Lord’s help for…

  • David – the Beginning

    1 Samuel 16:1-13 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.” But Samuel said,…

  • Ruth

    But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.  Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal…

  • 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. …
