Weekend time with the Lord ...

Life of David class discussion follow-up & resources ...

WORD STUDY: ENVY
We had an interesting discussion on "envy." I think for many of us, this word meaning has dissolved into our understanding of the word "jealousy." I completed a more thorough WORD STUDY on "envy" this morning ... its occurrences in the Word, its explanation by trusted Bible scholars, and finally its definition by the incomparable Noah Webster himself!

LEARN TO SAY THE SHEMA (HEAR O ISRAEL) IN HEBREW
This is the central prayer of the Old Testament, and of Jews to this day (Deut 6:4-5).

OLD SCHOOL MOVIE ABOUT SAMUEL!
I couldn't help but giggle through this ... but it is awesome.

TABERNACLE TOUR
This is a must see event. The tour guide does a fantastic job connecting elements of the tabernacle to the Person and work of Christ.

Weekend Scripture memorization ...

Weekend food-for-thought ...

"Deconstruction, Doubt and Finding Faith Again - Lisa Gungor and Alisa Childers"
Lisa Gungor and Alisa Childers have both had successful careers in the Christian music industry but both went through profound seasons of doubt and deconstruction. The process of ‘reconstruction’ took them to very different conclusions. They discuss their journeys with Justin and each other.

"I Kept Going"
A lovely account of a nine-year-old who ran the wrong way ... and won a different race. Isn't this so how God works in our lives, sometimes?

"God, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll: An Interview with Alice Cooper"
Pastor Greg Laurie sits down with rock legend Alice Cooper. Alice Cooper is widely considered to be the father of "Shock Rock" and has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. While he is known for his music career, most do not know that he is a committed Christian.

"Dr. Christopher Yuan: Holy Sexuality and The Gospel"
Dr. Christopher Yuan, author of Holy Sexuality and The Gospel, joins us for episode 32 of The Chris Craft Show. We discuss his amazing life story, salvation from a rebellious mindset, and God’s desire for us to be holy with our sexuality. Dr. Yuan speaks about the importance of his identity being found in Christ rather than in his sexuality.
