| | Through The Bible - 1 Kings by Zac Poonen
Topic: Through The Bible
Scripture(s): 1 Kings | | Description: Zac Poonen shows how God's great need for our day is leaders and prophets. Leaders must have discernment, transparency, boldness, a good conscience, and humility. We can learn to take heed to the many warnings from the lives of great men like David, Solomon, Elijah and others. Imagine a book that begins with David and ends with Ahab! The book of Kings shows how important God's leaders affect the spiritual state of God's people. What could have been the result in Solomon's life had David last words been about marriage and godly leadership rather than revenge? Solomon teaches us about spiritual discernment and misdirected energies that end in destruction. Elijah gives various insights into the boldness that comes from God's presence and looking away from crows to God alone in spite of human weaknesses and frailties.

| | Through The Bible - 1 Samuel by Zac Poonen
Topic: Through The Bible
Scripture(s): 1 Samuel | | Description: We need to learn both from the warnings from bad examples (Eli, Saul) and the challenges from good examples (Samuel, Jonathan, David). Saul started off a humble and faithful young man with God and God's anointing and lost the kingdom through lack of heart devotion to the Lord. David's concern for the little lambs, a heart of worship, and difficulties he experienced made him a good king.

| | Through The Bible - 1&2 Chronicles, Ezra by Zac Poonen
Topic: Through The Bible
Scripture(s): 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra | | Description: Zac picks up on truths in the Chronicles that were not covered already in the parallel accounts of 1 & 2 Kings. Men of God are shaped by suffering and pain (Jabez), the anointing (Amasai), supporting others in ministry (David), listening to God (Micaiah), and seriously studying God's Word (Ezra). The lives of King Uzziah and King Hezekiah warn us about being puffed up with spiritual pride.

| | Through The Bible - 2 Samuel by Zac Poonen
Topic:
Scripture(s): 2 Samuel | | Description: Description: The book of 2 Samuel picks up on the reign of King David. Zac homes in on David's godly habits (inquiring of the Lord), godly heart (build God's house), godly understanding (God's sovereignty that caused him to rest), as well as failures we can learn from (too many wives, taking ease at the wrong time). "The trials God takes us through," he encourages, "are by which God gives you a ministry."

| | Through The Bible - Colossians by Zac Poonen
Topic:
Scripture(s): Colossians | | Description: The marks of a spiritual church are looking at everything from God's point of view. We are like Christ in suffering in that we don't gain but many others around us do. This book has great exhortations to cling to the reality--Christ the Head--and not shadows or photographs or even the messengers of Christendom.

| | Through The Bible - Deuteronomy by Zac Poonen
Topic:
Scripture(s): Deuteronomy | | Description: Deuteronomy has three messages that make us look in different directions: look back at God's faithfulness, look up at Jesus, and look forward. This repetition of the law reinforces God's heart in many areas, such as obedience in small commandments, requirements for spiritual leaders, dangers of prosperity and false prophets.

| | Through The Bible - Ecclesiastes by Zac Poonen
Topic:
Scripture(s): Ecclesiastes | | Description: Whereas Proverbs demonstrates the divine wisdom, Ecclesiastes demonstrates human wisdom of a man who lives beneath the sun. The book shows the character of a religious man not led by the Holy Spirit--worldly thinking gets mixed up with spiritual wisdom.
