1. Adam and Eve and the Fall of Man. According to Oscar Wilde, ‘The Book of Life begins with a man and a woman in a garden. It ends with Revelations.’. But as with many stories from the Bible, there are many things we get wrong about that ‘man and woman in a garden’, Adam and Eve. Where was the Garden of Eden?

We read in the Genesis 1:1: This statement alone should stop all of us in our tracks. It’s a statement of God’s power, sovereignty, and love for all of us. If God created all things, it changes everything. It changes who we are, what we are, and why we are. The Bible clearly tells us that God created everything and that He is the Life-Giver and Cre...
What’s so inspiring with suffering? You might ask that question, but the reality is that some of our deepest inspiration comes from the difficulties in life. That’s why, looking into the story of Job can dramatically give us deep and long-lasting inspiration. We read in Job 1:13-19: What a dramatic turn of events! We can see here how Job lost almos...
One of the inspiring and amazing stories in the Bible is the story of Joseph. The story was just filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. When we think that all hope is gone, we see how God weaves through the strengths and weaknesses of people to bring about his plan and purpose. If you haven’t read the story of Joseph yet, I strongly recommend...
When we think of miracles in the Bible, there’s one miracle that would most likely pop into our mind — the parting of the Red Sea. Why not? Aside from it being made into various movies, the parting of the Red Sea wasn’t just a demonstration of God’s power, but his deliverance to His people. If you are in the shoes of the Israelites at that time, yo...
The book of Ruth tells us about the story of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz. The story is quite inspiring in many ways and reading through the book of Ruth should give you a better idea of how God can make hopeless situations a testimony of His love and mercy upon us. The story begins when Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, went to Moab to escape the famine in Bet...
Perhaps, the most popular battle mentioned in the Hebrew Writing is the battle between David and Goliath. You might even be familiar with their story and know very well how it ends. David was just a shepherd boy who happened to hear Goliath mocking the army of God. He went to King Saul. David convinced the King that he will fight Goliath and win. W...
Did you know that the book of Esther doesn’t mention the word “God?” Yes, that’s true, but the story of Esther dramatically demonstrates how the Almighty works behind the scene and doesn’t forsake His people. I highly recommend you find the time to read the book of Esther. It has only 10 chapters, but the story written in it is so exciting that I’m...
Sometimes, doing the right thing won’t bring good results, at least, temporarily. There are times when doing the right thing means we get persecuted, ostracized, and even put to death. That’s exactly what happened to Daniel’s three friends — Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego whose Hebrew names were Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. In the book of Danie...
A lot of us might not have even heard of Bartimaeus in the Bible. However, this doesn’t mean that we can’t learn a vital lesson from his life. We read his story in Mark 10:46-52, Matthew 10:29-34 and Luke 18:35-43. We can see how the three Gospel writers included Bartimaeus’ story, showing us how impactful his story was. Bartimaeus was blind for to...
The greatest love story ever told is found in John 3:16: God so loved the world. It didn’t say, “God so loved the Christians, the Americans, the religious, the righteous, or the saints.” It says, “the world.” Because of this great love, the Almighty gave up His Son, Yahshua the Messiah, to die for our sins and redeem us. Not many people really have...
- The Story of David and Goliath. The story of David and Goliath is one of the most popular stories in the Bible. It's a tale of courage, faith, and overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.
- The Prodigal Son. The parable of the Prodigal Son is a story about forgiveness and unconditional love. A young man squanders his inheritance and returns home, expecting rejection.
- The Good Samaritan. The parable of the Good Samaritan is a lesson in empathy and kindness. A man is robbed and left for dead on the side of the road. Several people pass by without helping, but a Samaritan, a member of a despised group, stops to help.

- Korah’s Failed Coup. Korah was the great-grandson of Levi and was part of the Hebrews wandering the desert with Moses. He led an uprising against Moses’ leadership, and when Moses put the decision before the Lord to display who was the rightful leader of Israel, “the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, and all those associated with Korah, together with their possessions.
- The Loss of a Sword for the Death of a King. The domineering Moabite King Eglon probably envisioned a more honorable death than the one that found him.
- Saul and the Sorceress at Endor. This one can make even solid Bible expositors uncomfortable, because it raises a multitude of questions about what actually happened.
- Rizpah the Devoted Mother. The devoted mother Rizpah could be worth highlighting on Mother’s Day, but I’ve never heard it done. We often hear the story how David spares Mephibosheth out of devotion to Jonathan when the Gibeonites demand the lives of seven of Saul’s male descendants.
