Judges Chapters 17 - 18, Episode 236

1 Samuel 4:6 thru 6:9

In the episode we read about the judgement that fell on Eli’s family. Eli as well as his two evil sons all died. His daughter in law dies in childbirth and the Ark of the Covenant is taken by the Philistines. We also read about the plagues God sent to the Philistines for stealing the ark.One thing we should learn from this lesson is that God should not be just a token for us to display. If we are displaying bumper stickers about God, and T-shirts with Godly messages on them… we need to live a life that reflects what that T-shirt or bumper sticker says. The ark was taken after Israel used God like a bumper sticker. That’s the same as going thru the motions but not having the life. #foryou #christian #judgement #samuel #biblestudy #old Testament ##david  @readingthroughthebiblewith3242  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCoJt70X_S0rORKt463YY5tw]

1 Samuel 2:12 - 4:5, Episode 244

In this episode we see how Eli’s failure to check his sons will cause his family to be removed from the priesthood. We also read about the first time Samuel hears God’s voice. One take away from this lesson is that God gives us grace, but there comes a time when His judgement will fall. Let’s be wise and repent while we have time. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. #foryou #foryourpage #samuel #eli #hophni #phinehas #hannah #philistine #biblestudy #christian  @readingthroughthebiblewith3242  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCoJt70X_S0rORKt463YY5tw]

1st Samuel Chapters 1 - 2:11, Episode 243

In this episode we did a brief Bible overview breaking the Bible up into three sections: God’s dealings with the human race (Gen. 1-11), God’s dealings with His chosen race (Gen 12 - Malachi), and God’s dealings with His church (Matthew-Revelation). We also saw in this episode an example of how God always hear us and answers our prayers. #samuel #foryou #foryourpage #biblestudy #bibleoverview #christian #faith  @readingthroughthebiblewith3242  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCoJt70X_S0rORKt463YY5tw]

Ruth Chapters 3:10 - 4, Episode 242

In this episode we see the kinsman redeemer in action. Boaz accepted Ruth and assured her that he was going to take care of everything that needed to be done. Boaz is a type and shadow of Jesus who is our kinsman redeemer and He also tells us He is going to do whatever it takes to make us like Him. He got this! We just need to say ‘yes (accepting Him into our hearts), repent (begin living our life for Him), and thank You (thanking Him for rescuing us and saving us)’. #foryou #foryourpage #ruth #kinsman #christian #boaz #biblestudy  @readingthroughthebiblewith3242  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCoJt70X_S0rORKt463YY5tw]

Ruth Chapters 1 - 3:9, Episode 241

In this episode we began reading about Ruth. In these first 3 Chapters we can see how God’s master plan is at work preparing the way for Jesus to one day be born. Ruth is King David’s great grandmother and an ancestor of Jesus. What else can we learn from Ruth? That all things will truly work together for our good no matter how bad it might look now. #foryou #foryourpage #ruth #christian #naomi #biblestudy #boaz  @readingthroughthebiblewith3242  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCoJt70X_S0rORKt463YY5tw]
