Audio readings: Psalm 57:1-6 John 4:43-54, John 5:1-15 Judges 4, Judges 5 JUDGES 3, 4 and 5 In my opinion, Judges is the best ‘window’ into human nature in the whole Bible. If you digest the stories and teachings of Judges, you have no grounds for asserting that human beings are essentially good and naturally god-fearing! The…

Audio readings: Psalm 55:1-11 John 3:1-21 Joshua 21:20-45, Joshua 22 JOHN 3 Many people imagine that Billy Graham first coined the phrase ‘Born Again’, as a powerful emotional lever to persuade people to become Christians.

Audio readings: Psalm 54:1-7 John 2:1-25 Joshua 19, Joshua 20, Joshua 21:1-19 JOHN 2 John calls miracles ‘signs’.
