Return to the Word Bible Study

The Apostle Paul and his team had been forced to leave the new Christians at Thessalonica behind. The door had now been opened for false accusations to be made. What were the true motives behind these men that had come to town? Were they simply after money? Were they being deceptive? Why did they leave so unexpectedly?

This was more than a battle for Paul’s reputation. The Gospel of Jesus Christ was on the line. The work of Christ was under attack. With a stunning testimony Paul revealed his heart and his motives to the Christians he so dearly loved.

We are left with a revealing testimony of a man approved by God. The lessons stand throughout the ages as a living example for all those called to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Why were others turning to follow another? This seemed unimaginable. What could it mean for the ministry of this great prophet of God?

Wrapped up in this first century controversy is a battle that rages on today. At the center of it is the pride that lies within each of us. The remedy is simple faith and submission to the role that God has for us. Christ must increase.

The tribes of Israel stood guilty before their God. Daniel knew from the Law of Moses that God had kept His Word. Daniel didn’t blame God. Instead, he prayerfully confessed the righteousness of God. Daniel considered it more important for God to uphold His Word than it was for God’s people to escape the consequences of their sin.

The Hebrew people had spurned the grace and mercy of God. Remarkably, it was that same mercy and grace that Daniel appealed to on behalf of his people.

Prayer works when it gives us a greater sense of the majesty and glory of God. Prayer works when it arouses in us an awesome sense of the forgiving grace of God. Prayer works when it helps us to be thankful for the gift of life. Prayer works when it leads us to pray for others.

The Temple of God had become a barnyard. Those entrusted with its care stood guilty of fleecing the people. The religious authorities were not prepared for the Son of God to show up.

His disciples had their faith strengthened years later as they would look back at this event. People also came to faith in the Messiah of Israel.

The stunning prophecy of God that came through Jeremiah revealed that Israel would be in captivity for a period of seventy years. The Prophet Jeremiah had been hauled off to Egypt. Somehow, the record of the prophecy had made its way from Egypt to Babylon.

With the fall of Babylon and the rise of the Medo-Persian Empire, Daniel prayerfully studied the words of Jeremiah and came to the conclusion that the time of captivity was almost over. This became the fuel for one of the longest prayers recorded in the Word of God. Bible Teacher Mark Fontecchio explains Daniel 9 with clarity and shows how believers today can learn from the prayer life of this wonderful Old Testament believer.
