The word “great” is certainly thrown around a lot these days, isn't it? This athlete is “great” that laundry detergent is “great”. Well, very few people, or laundry detergents for that matter, ever live up to the word “great”. But a few do. David was great man, a man after God's own heart. He was a flawed man to be sure, but he showed his greatness in many ways. We'll look at one of those ways today as we visit First Chronicles sixteen, and a psalm of thanks from King David. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann...

We're back in the Old Testament book of Second Kings where we'll be in chapter twenty-two. Several Kings have come and gone in this section of God's word, including one of the best, King Hezekiah, and one of the worst, his son Mannaseh. Now taking the controls will be Josiah, the grandson of Mannaseh. Can you imagine an eight year old boy being in charge of an entire country? That's how old Josiah was when he began his reign. How'd he do? Let's find out! Here with the details on the reign of Josiah is our teacher, Pastor Bill Luebkemann...

Bill has been teaching thru the Bible here on the program, and today our focus lies in Second Kings chapter eighteen. The reign of King Hezekiah was noteworthy for several reasons, including the fact that he was one of the most Godly Kings of this era. What will you be known for when you leave this earth? Wouldn't it be nice if the focus was on your godly character? So, turn to Second Kings, chapter eighteen, and we'll join Pastor Bill for today's edition of Hope from the Word...

It's great to have you along for another edition of Hope from the Word, with Pastor Bill Luebkemann. We invite you to take a few minutes and spend them with us, as we begin a two-part study of Second Kings, chapter eighteen. We're going to learn about the reign of a very Godly man named Hezekiah. Hezekiah became King of Judah at the age of twenty-five, but that young age might be deceiving, he was a very wise man for his age! Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann with the details, from Second Kings, chapter eighteen...

Today we'll wrap up our study of Second Kings chapter five, and the story of Naaman. If you've been with us for the entire study through First and Second Kings, you've heard the accounts of some very brave men and women, and some other accounts of not so savory behavior. There are many misconceptions concerning how God works, and it doesn't help matters when we see people using ministry for personal gain, rather than to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Naaman eventually found this out, just as we always do! Here's Bill Luebkemann with our study...

If you enjoy in depth, expositional Bible study then you've come to the right place! We're currently looking at the Old Testament book of Second Kings. Today we'll begin a study of chapter five, and the story of a man named Naaman. Naaman had a problem with his health, both physically and spiritually. The book of Second Kings is filled with exciting tales of bravery, and most of all, good lessons for you and me on the importance of trusting God. Naaman's journey of discovery is a very good one. Here's Bill Luebkemann to begin our study...

Welcome to Hope from the Word, with Pastor Bill Luebkemann, and our series of studies through God's word. If you're a parent with kids in school, you know the importance of setting priorities. Homework before TV, study for that test before the video games. Christians need priorities as well, or should I say a ‘priority'. God should always be number one on our list! That's the message Elijah had for the prophets of Ba'al and the others around him who sought to make other “things” a greater priority. Here's Pastor Bill to wrap up our study in First Kings chapter eighteen...

Today we find ourselves once again in the Old Testament book of First Kings, as we see the prophet Elijah continue his attempt to deal with the Prophets of Ba'al, and their ungodly influence over the people. Now, if you think that Christians today are too sophisticated to fall for false gods and false doctrine, then just look around! The evidence is everywhere! Here's Pastor Bill with our study in First Kings chapter eighteen...
