History IQ: Kingdom Life According to Solomon
Perhaps you have wished that a wealthy benefactor would grant you any request you made. What would be your request if there were no limits? The third king of Israel has a reputation as the wisest man who ever lived. God promises to give whatever he desires, and the king asks for wisdom.

Frontline: Kingdom Life According to David
The story of Mephibosheth is a bright spot in the chronicles of David, the second and greatest king of Israel. This story shows us something of the heart of a man who could pen Psalm 23, "the Lord is my shepherd." The themes of friendship, loyalty, and mercy come through strong. A hardened military leader certainly has the capacity to love God and his fellow man. The mystery of God's unearned favor is paralleled by the mystery of human grace bestowed.

Faith Gives Us Eyes To See (Romans 3:27-31)
Faith changes the way we see everything. It changes the way we see ourselves -- there is no occasion for boasting in ourselves, only in our savior. It changes the way we see others -- we are no different from or better than others, only recipients of the gifts of grace and mercy, which others need just as well. And it changes the way we see God's Law -- the Law is no longer the way we earn God's favor, but it is a guide to how we can live a life pleasing to the one who has saved us.

When Memory Matters
God's mercy to Israel because he remembered his covenant with Abraham is a powerful reminder of the God who never forgets, especially in light of the new covenant, by which Christians stand, written in the blood of Jesus.

Things As They Really Are
Far from being irrelevant, God's rebuke of idolatry through the prophet Jeremiah is a reminder to us that our idolatry can only be cured when we walk with a vision of God's unique greatness.

What Really Matters
In the closing verses of Galatians the Apostle Paul explains that nothing outward matters. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision. Then what does matter. The Apostle Paul says the only thing that matters is a new creation. In this message we will examine what it means to be a child of Abraham and what it is that really matters in regard to our salvation.

Cow
God revealed Himself to his people as a God whose beginning is not known. So at Mt. Sinai, the people of God exchanged this God they could not control for an idol with more mangeable qualities. Today, we worship money which promises to give us power over our lives, rather than risk it with a God who is beyond our control. When Jesus called a rich dude to give it all up, He really called him to give up where he had security and instead place his trust in Jesus. Are we choosing the safety of the known (what is our golden/sacred cow?), rather than following Jesus?
