DD74- Proverbs--Part 3--Wisdom
Solomon , in asking God for wisdom got it. His insights and understanding were beyond anything he might have ever attained through his own work or study. And so with his God given gift of Wisdom ,Solomon wrote the book on wisdom and we look at it in this study.

DD75- Proverbs--Part 4 --How We Talk
Solomon during his reign as king came to recognize people by how they talk! We might disguise ourselves for awhile , but sooner or later our words will give us away. What kind of person are you?

It is the SOUL of man (our mind ,will and emotions) or what Solomon calls the heart of a man that we study today. What does God see when He looks upon our hearts? How are we to "keep" this very important part of us? "

DD79- Proverbs--Part 8--The Pathway to Death and the Pathway to Life
Solomon in this study is writing as a father would to his son. He has made a lot of mistakes in his life and ultimately learned a lot of lessons!

DD80- The Song of Solomon--Part 1 -Assurance of Acceptance and Love
The Song of Solomon is Solomon's finest and most important work of writing. It is an allegorical love story that will help you to see the beauties of love in your own walk with Jesus Christ.

DD81- The Song of Solomon--Part 2-- The Call to a Resurrection Life
The closer we come in our walk with Jesus the more we see of our own sin and darkness. Nevertheless, Christ is able to "save to the uttermost"" those that come to Him. We continue our study of this love story and how it relates to our own walk with Jesus.

DD82- The Song of Solomon--Part 3--The Communion of Love
Jesus Christ calls out to each one of us (no matter how black and sinful our life is) desiring to "raise us up with Him into the Heavenly places"". He has a new life ready for each of us who dare to walk with Him into the communion of love.

DD83 The Song of Solomon--Part 4--Into Service With Him
In our last study we find a more mature bride. She is one that is now ready to leave her selfish desires to be in step with her husband and in HIS life and work. Jesus is very patient with us as He waits for us to leave ourselves behind and enter into service with Himself.

DD86- Nehemiah--Part 1--Knocked Down but Not Out!
Nehemiah in attempting to obey God faced nothing but opposition. It runs parallel to our own lives as we obey God in doing His will. There will always be opposition but it doesn't need to stop the work.

DD87- Nehemiah--Part 2--Rebuilding The Walls
The story of Nehemiah and his mission to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem has many parallels to our own lives. We may seem to have a life that is ruined and in disrepair but there is a way to rebuild.

DD88- Esther
The story of Esther is a real story and historical event that took place with God's direction the whole way through. He directs so quietly that His name is not even mentioned once in this book! Most of us live in a routine world. We do not hear God in great dramatic ways and yet He is all the time directing our lives from 'behind the scenes.

DD89- The Story of Job --Part 1--Opposition
In the oldest book of the Bible, God gives us a living example of a very righteous man who suffered almost beyond our comprehension. Through his story we may find some of the answers for our own trials and hardships.

DD90- The Story of Job--Part 2--Job Aroused to Anger
Job in talking with his "friends" about "What have I done to deserve this?" becomes so angry that in desperation he accuses God. Are we accusing God in our anger for the hardships in our life?

DD91- The Story of Job -- Part 3--Job in the Crucible
Although suffering is not always caused by our sins it can nevertheless by used by God to show us our true nature and the need that each one of us has to be "born again" in God. Slowly and painfully Job comes to see God's greater purposes behind his situation.

DD92- What Isaiah Has To Say!--Part 1
Isaiah was called by God as a prophet to the nation of Judah. God had some warnings to give to this nation through Isaiah. A nation is made up of individuals and the truths in this timeless book are meant for our warning as well.

DD93- What Isaiah Has to Say!-- Part 2
Just as God uses our natural circumstances and relationships to discipline us, so He used Israel's own enemies to discipline and chasten them. In the true character of God, He allowed the events of chastening only after His warnings and appeals went unheeded. Isaiah was God's spokesman and his words continue on for us today.

DD94- The Life of Jeremiah--Part 1
Our human potential can only be fulfilled when God's will is fulfilled rather than our own. Life is therefore lived at its best when its lived with faith in God. Jeremiah, our subject lived such a life. He was more interested in what God wanted for his life than in what he wanted. Are you?

DD95 Jeremiah--Part 2
The people of Israel under Josiah's reign had a new enthusiasm for God. Church and worship were popular and all the right things were being said. Everything "looked" right but the people themselves were not right. The Heart of sin within individuals had not changed. Jeremiah was to be the country's last warning before destruction.

DD96- Jeremiah--Part 3
How can those of us that want to live for God do it successfully in an environment that seems bent on pulling us into other directions? We look to the life of Jeremiah for some answers.

DD97- God the Father in the book of Ezekiel
Ezekiel-- a prophet of God was living with the Israelite people in exile. He was part of a small remnant that had remained faithful to God and he was a strong man in the midst of a defeated people. In our study of the book of Ezekiel we do not look so much at the man himself than at what he has to tell us about God.

DD98- The Holy Spirit as revealed in the book of Ezekiel
Despite the fact that Jesus and the Holy Spirit had not been revealed to all men at the time of Ezekiel, God does give us a definite preview of the life to come through the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ. God wants to live in each believer and He does so through His Holy Spirit. Therefore we aren't studying dry theory but the living God in our lives.

DD99- Jesus the Son of Man as revealed in the book of Ezekiel
In the life of Ezekiel we find many parallels to the life of Christ. Already, hundreds of years before God would send His Son to earth, He was preparing the way for Him by giving clues to the people of who they should be looking for. May this study help us to find Jesus for ourself.

DD100- Daniel -Part 1-Living By Conviction
Living by conviction is how we stand strong when times of testing come. A solid faith in God must be the rock we stand upon in a world set against Him. When we accurately represent God, people will recognize and fear Him.

DD101- Daniel-Part 2- When Hard Times Come
When hard times come and we are pressured to act outside of our conscience, it is our convictions that help us to stand strong. We don't need to fear the hard situations of our lives for the Lord always goes with us and He will never fail us.

DD102- Daniel-Part 3- The Handwriting On the Wall
When a man or woman shows disrespect for the things of God they can expect that there will come a day of reckoning no matter who they are. God cannot be mocked. We are meant to learn from history ( from the sins and errors of those that are before us) and pay attention to the handwriting on the wall in our own life (God's word to us in our circumstances) .

DD103-Daniel-Part 4- "Consider the Word and Understand"
In this last study of Daniel God begins to unfold the days that are coming. But while we look ahead we must keep our feet firmly planted in the present and choose to align our lives with God today. We will find that the God who has mapped our future will be able to guide and guard us through the present.

DD104-Hosea-Part1- God's Saving Love
Hosea prophesied at a time when prosperity,moral laxity, corrupt government, wide class distinctions and ritualistic worship was the order of the day. This is the story of God's love to those that have been unfaithful to Him. God's love pursues us even in our most rebellious times because He wants us for His own. His love is a saving love and each one of us is the object of His love.

DD105-Real Repentance-Hosea-Part 2
The Israelites (God's chosen people) had drifted far from God in their hearts. They were making a good outward show and saying the right words but God is not fooled by our empty words. When we have sinned and gone our own independent way God will not be satisfied with anything less than real repentance.

DD106- Jonah- The Prophet Who Ran Away
Have you ever been called by God to do a task that you just could not face? Perhaps you sought to rationalize God's plan to do something more palatable or maybe even to run from it entirely. If you've been in this place, or if you are facing some question of obedience today then you will want to take a closer look at ….. JONAH - The Prophet Who Ran Away .
