Isaiah 7 brings us into a time of political fear and national crisis. King Ahaz must decide whether he will trust the Lord or rely on human solutions. Through Isaiah, God calls His people to stand firm in faith and gives the promise of Immanuel, God with us. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains the danger of fear and unbelief, the false appearance of religious faith, and the ultimate fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14 in Jesus Christ. Christ is Immanuel, God with us in suffering, uncertainty, and every trial. For more from Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/

We take some time to listen to a recent chapel service held at Bob Jones University

Are you a gospel trumpet? That is the dominant image which Spurgeon employs for his sermon from 1 Thessalonians 1:8 about sounding forth the word of the Lord. The sermon builds to some applications which are very specific to the Metropolitan Tabernacle in Spurgeon's time, and we need to take that into account as we reach them. However, they can easily be turned to help us in our own situations, and the principles which lie behind them are broadly true. So, we are urged to consider the trumpeters themselves, the kind of men who make God's word to sound out, with Spurgeon ranging across Paul's description of the Thessalonian believers in his letters to them. This is really a brief study in Christian character. Then we turn to the trumpets, and see how it is that they give forth such a penetrating sound, and here we are in the realm of Christian experience and obedience. Thirdly, Spurgeon insists that there was a pressing present need for just such a trumpet-blast as sounded from the Thessalonian believers, and here the flavour of the hour begins to bleed through, but in a way that I think makes the modern reader add his, "Amen!" to the preacher's assessment. Finally comes the question of whether or not his immediate congregation had an obligation to sound forth that trumpet-note. While some of the qualities and opportunities Spurgeon identifies are very tightly tied to the Tabernacle gathering, they raise questions and challenges for every church and each believer as to how we respond to the need of the present hour.

Mark 13:26 "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory." King James Version

Jesus enters Jerusalem, accepted by the crowds, rejected by the establishment. More parables.

Many people become discouraged and disillusioned in their faith when they don't have their prayers answered and things don't happen in their time, but the Lord Jesus Christ causes things to happen in His time.
