The enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were rebuilding the temple for God. They came and offered to help build, saying they also worshipped God. However, the leaders refused their help, saying they would build the temple for God alone. The enemies then tried to discourage and frighten the people from building. They hired people to frustrate the plans and stop the work during the reigns of Cyrus and Darius.
A verse by verse commentary on Ezra 4 dealing with the opposition to the rebuilding of the Temple, and later the opposition of Artaxerxes the king of Persia.
While it may appear this chapter is simply about a detailed business transaction over a piece of land for a burial, it is much, much more. Abraham insisted on purchasing land at "full price" to insure that he and his inheritance would dwell in the land God promised. This is not a chapter to quickly skim over.

A verse by verse commentary on Amos 6 dealing with judgment on those who are complacent in Israel. The Lord abhors the pride of Israel and He will stir up a nation against them.
A verse by verse commentary on Micah 5 dealing with a promised ruler from Bethlehem, and then deliverance and destruction as God takes vengeance on the nations who do not obey Him.
A verse by verse commentary on 2 SAMUEL 20 dealing with the troublemaker named Sheba who rebels against David. Joab goes after Sheba and on the way stabs Amasa to death and takes all his troops with him. Sheba was trapped in a city where a wise woman persuaded the people to cut off his head and throw it to Joab who left and did not attack the city.
A verse by verse commentary on 2 SAMUEL 15 dealing with the conspiracy and revolution against David which led to David having to flee from Jerusalem with all his officials. A very emotional king David had to deal with his enemies and his friends.
This is a study of Jesus being focused first on the Israelites. They were the lost sheep that He came to bring back into the fold, and they were His first focus before He opened up to the whole world.

Let’s look at a man who had God’s hand in his life. Ezra sought the word of God, applied the word of God and taught the word of God therefore, the Lord was with him and blessed him. Ezra 7:10.
President John Kennedy once observed, “The history of man is the history of war?” Why is this statement true? Jesus prophesied, “You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars” (Mt. 24:6). Why is world peace so elusive and seemingly unattainable?
Why is Messiah called the “Prince of Peace”? (Isa. 9:6) How does Jesus bring “peace on earth”? (Psa. 46:9; Lk. 2:14) What is peace? What are the different kinds of peace? Are you at peace with yourself and others? How did you find peace? Is there anyone with whom you have had difficulty being at peace with? What do you suppose is the cause of your conflict? What can you do to be at peace with this person? (Rom. 12:18)

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

34. WEAKEN WITH LIE 4. TWIST THE TRUTH You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies , he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
