Bible Study Job Discourses Part III

Job 21-25 We’ll compare and contrast Job’s understanding of God’s dealings with the wicked, alongside his three counselors.

And we’ll discuss the terms of law and grace and the evidence the discourses provide that indicate the necessity for God to provide his Word in written form.

Weekly Bible Study The Temple & God’s Own Heart Conclusion

Join us this week as we examine David’s declarations regarding why Solomon would build the temple instead of him.

What was the reason God gave David for His decision that David should not build the temple? Why did God not supernaturally make sure His will was perfectly understood? Was God’s decision to dwell in the temple proof He had wanted it? Did God respect Solomon’s request that He hear when Israel prayed “toward the temple?” Did God choose to put his name in the Temple Mount forever?

Or was it for love? or was there some other purpose?” And furthermore, what exactly is glory? What exactly is love? And can we better comprehend the purpose of the creation, in hopes of having a better relationship with our Creator, and of being a better witness for Him.

We’ll do our best to define glory, look at the concept of glory in the historical narrative of the creation week, the first mention of glory in the scripture, how glory relates to men, how glory relates to the relationship between god and man, Moses choice between law and grace, and Moses’ sarcastic reference to glory in Exodus.
