Epis. 6: Elisha's Authority in Life and Death (2 Kings 2:19-25)

In this exciting passage, Elisha's authority is confirmed by how he deals with matters of unhealthy water, barren farmland, and those that mocked him, his mentor, and God. One tool he uses is a curse. But there's a way to put one on people and a way not to. Join us as we study 2nd Kings 2:19-25 here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WLZdney6_Mo .

Epis. 5: 2 Kings 2:12-18 "Where is the God of Elijah?"

In this rather strange passage, we learn about pursuing our own thick-headed ideas as well as seeing how Christians can react to both grief and responsibility. Join us as we study 2 Kings 2:12-18 through a short video study on YouTube. Catch it here: https://youtu.be/ZZuAtw5yuiw .

Epis. 2: To Whom Do You Go To . . .For Healing? (2 Kings 1:1-8)

The beginning of 2nd Kings is most interesting -- a king falls through or into a window lattice, wants a medical diagnosis, but doesn't go to the right place for it. We can learn a lot. Join us as we study 2 Kings 1:1-8. Catch it on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/MahrnP22wFM .

Epis. 96: Some Final Lessons From 1st Kings. (1 Kings 22:37-53)

The historical content of 1st Kings could fill the script pages of several television miniseries. And for most of episodes, we'd stay riveted to our screens to see what happens. If any account proves the old saying attributed to Mark Twain that "truth is stranger than fiction", it is this account. Real-life occurrences can be so unusual or unexpected because unlike fiction, it is not limited to the writer's imagination.

Epis. 95: No Disguise Will Help. You Can't Avoid It. [1 Kings 22:29-36]

Trying to hide from God to avoid punishment by somehow disguising who we are is as foolish as a little child putting their hands over their eyes and saying, "Daddy can't see me now." Don't be foolish is the lesson for us on this from 1 Kings 22:29-36. Study it with us on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/cLTA8wTLUug .

Epis. 94. on 1 Kings 22:24-28. Prophet smites Prophet. We can expect abuse.

 

In this short passage we see how God's true prophet is treated by the idolators and false prophets, and kings and rulers. I hate to say it but it is very indicative of what is going on in the world today as it exhibits its hatred for Christians. Yet we need to expect it. Join us as we study 1 Kings 22:24-28.

In this study we see the Syrians of old learning a lesson about the realm which the real God has under His power and authority. And it costs them dearly.
