A New King 1
Sunday Feb 02, 2020
Sunday Feb 02, 2020
Saul is chosen king of Israel. Does God want a king in Israel? Deuteronomy 17:14-18 seems to indicate God was OK with a king as long as he was a spiritual as well as political leader. God wanted the king to read and write the scriptures daily to be familiar with what God wanted. The people want a king for security and prosperity.
1 Samuel 9 and 10.
Is it possible you could hear God like Samuel did?
Would it be a good thing for you?
If you desire a spiritual gift, Ask, seek, knock.

The Bullies from Dan

Continuation of events in Judges 18. The tribe of Dan don't attempt to take their allotted inheritance in the Tel Aviv area of Israel. The opponents look to be too strong, so they go to find some unsuspecting people to attack in the extreme north of Israel. The 600 men from the tribe of Dan come to Micah's Inn for the night and steal his household Gods. Micah is very attached to his idols. What idols do you have in your life?

Micah's Motel

Tuesday Jan 14, 2020
What was life like in Israel before there was a king? We begin in one of the most confusing portions of scripture, Judges 17 and see syncretism, the mixing of idolatry with The God of Israel. Micah has an Inn in the hill country of Ephraim and strange things occur. Is this the Bible? We are asking these questions What does God want? What do the people want?

How do you feel? How are you doing? How did you sleep? What are the questions you ask your family and friends? What scripture would you use to help in a crisis? What words are you speaking over circumstances? Fear is belief in the greater ability of the enemy to steal, kill and destroy, than in God's ability to bless and protect you.
