The celebrated German philosopher Schleiermacher was once sitting alone on a park bench, and a policeman thinking he was a vagrant approached him and asked him, “Who are you?” Schleirermacher answered sadly, “I wish I knew.” No doubt the famous philosopher was suffering from what is known as an “identity crisis.” In today’s lesson, we will learn about the “identity crisis” that the great patriarch Jacob experienced in his life, especially after he become Israel. It’s a crisis all of […]

The purpose of Chronicles is to bring hope in the future Messiah who will come from David’s line. While the history of God’s people is marred, it does not lead to despair. Chronicles helps us to look to the King of Kings, trust in His word, seek Him with all our heart, and let Him fight our battles.

Samuel Chadwick once wrote, “Prevailing prayer is what turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God!” In today’s lesson in Genesis 32, we will get a great picture of just how to prevail with God in prayer in the form of a wrestling match that unfolds between Jacob and the Angel of the Lord.

Kamand Kojouiri in his book The Eternal Dance penned these words by the main character when he encountered an angel: “I couldn’t have dreamed you into existence because I didn’t even know I needed you. You must have been sent to me.” I’m sure Jacob had similar thoughts when he encountered a camp of angels as he was about to return into the Promised Land. The angels he saw weren’t some beings he just dreamed up; they were sent to […]

Alexander Maclaren referred to unbelief as “the mother of disobedience.” That’s why all unbelievers wind up being rebels who eventually go off the pages of history and wind up in hell. Laban, the main character of today’s study in Genesis 31, in spite of all the evidence given to him to the contrary, refused to come to the Lord, but instead went right on clinging to his pagan gods. And so this is the last we will see of him […]

John Adams had this to say about the future of democracies like ours: Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” His words almost sound like a State of the Union address for the year 2020. Because the United States seems to being doing just that: committing suicide. As we speak, the very foundations of this great nation are being destroyed from within. So what […]

Prior to the time of Christopher Columbus people thought the edge of the horizon was the end of the world. They thought you dropped off the face of the earth as if you had arrived at a steep cliff. Some people see life that way, as if it just drops off. They think life as you see it is hopeless. But in today’s message we are going to look at a lady who could have lost hope. Instead she held […]
