Why Biblical Genealogies Matter More Than We Realize
From Noah’s name, meaning rest, to Nimrod’s name, meaning rebellion, Scripture shows how lives and nations take shape through generations. Biblical genealogies matter because they reveal God’s purposes, not only in judgment and redemption, but even in worship, where singers were appointed to lead praise. What looks like a list of names is actually the story of how God shaped history, faith, and worship itself.

Joseph and Judah in Genesis: Foreshadowing Jesus as Savior and King
Genesis reveals more than history. In Joseph and Judah, we see dual fulfillment, events that mattered then and pointed forward to Christ. Joseph’s suffering and rise to power foreshadow Jesus the Savior, while Judah’s blessing points to Jesus the coming King. Together, their stories show how God faithfully prepares the way for redemption and reign through Scripture.

Put On The New Man
A mind without God lives in futility. It is always seeking meaning, joy, and hope but never finding what lasts. Scripture calls us to put off the old self and be renewed in the spirit of our minds. Through God’s Word and the work of the Holy Spirit, we are transformed, clothed with the new man, and shaped into the mind of Christ.

The Wood Made All the Difference: An Old Testament Picture of the Cross
One of the most unusual stories in the Old Testament—Elisha making an ax head float in 2 Kings 6—points to something far greater. The wood thrown into the Jordan is more than a miracle; it foreshadows the cross of Christ, where what was lost is restored and what seemed impossible is redeemed.

Work Diligently To Be Approved
Have you ever been ashamed at work for doing a bad job? I know I have. Maybe I wasn't as prepared as I should have been. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. Maybe I just didn't care like I should. As a Christian I certainly don't want to be a worker who is ashamed. Do you? The Bible teaches that we should ' rightly divide the word of truth' (2 Timothy 2:15), ensuring that our faith is built on sound doctrine. How can we study Scripture in a way that strengthens our understa
