Old Testament – Major Prophets. Not related to the study of corporate finance. :)
I. Jeremiah the Prophet It’s a new year—time to change the page on the calendar… unless, like me, you use a digital calendar. Then you don’t change the page; you press a button. Either way, it feels like a fresh start. But Scripture reminds us that “new” isn’t mainly about the calendar. The Bible’s … Continue reading God’s Plan: A New Year, A New You
Sometimes in this crazy world we wonder where God has been. God has been, is, and always will be in control.
The culture around us doesn't wish to hear the Word of God, but it is eternal. His Word will endure, and His protection surrounds us while we live in His Word.
Our eternal home awaits us someday. How do we live in the meantime? God has plans for us, to give us peace and hope and a future.
Why do good things happen to bad people? Perhaps the answer lies within your own heart. And perhaps, God's plans are different than yours.
I. Jeremiah the Prophet We’re starting a new book today, a study of the major prophet Jeremiah. We’re going to find over the course of the next several months much about the character of Jeremiah, and more importantly, the character of God. The book itself is long. By word count, it’s the longest book in … Continue reading God’s Plan for You
Does God hear our prayers? Studying Daniel's faithful prayer can provide assurance that God hears and answers. #biblestudy #Sunday #prayer

Will God hear you? God judges those who reject Him.
Introduction and Background We have traveled together so far this year together, studying the bible chronologically. From the creation of man and the fall from Eden, to God’s promises to Abraham to make him a great nation. Jacob moved his family to Egypt after a famine, then the Israelites grew to … Continue reading A Kingdom Parable
I. Introduction For several Sundays in a row, we’ve been coming to class and studying the prophet Ezekiel. Then one day Chris shows up and says, “Let’s turn to the book of Daniel.” What was Chris thinking? Were we done with Ezekiel? I don’t think so. When we start studying these prophets, there is always … Continue reading Risk Everything for God
I. Introduction Ezekiel 18 opens with a discussion of a proverb, “”The fathers eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.” I thought, for illustrative purposes, I’d go to HEB and buy a bunch of sour grapes, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. I guess they were all sold out. Super popular, … Continue reading It’s Not My Fault!
Image via WikipediaWe've been studying Isaiah and fulfilled prophecy; today we reach the exclamation point of the entire Old Testament. I once recently read that the entire bible points to Jesus. I had a hard time grasping that concept. I knew the New Testament told the story of Jesus, and I knew the Old Testament … Continue reading The Suffering Servant
I taught a lesson on "Taking Comfort in God's Strength" and never got around to posting my notes. I have found that I tend to get lost in my notes and I tried to switch to an outline format. It actually worked out better for teaching, but it looks like a lousy format for a … Continue reading Taking Comfort in God’s Strength
Yesterday I taught my second bible study to adults. Last time I taught, I rewrote the whole thing as an essay here on Chasing the Wind but that was a lot of work. I think this time I'll stick to posting the outline, notes, and scripture. Especially since halfway through I deviated from my notes … Continue reading Accountability
