Messages with tag - Philistines

1st and 2nd Samuel (2015)
Tuesday, September 29, 2015
by Robert Dean
Passage: 1 Samuel 5:1-2
Series: 1st and 2nd Samuel (2015)
Duration: 57 mins 57 secs
Why should we learn about the events that happened long ago in ancient Israel? Listen to this lesson to hear about a time when it looked like God had been defeated. See how the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant. Find out where they took the Ark and how discouraged the people of Israel became. Learn four things that this defeat showed about how God works in human history. When we feel God has let us down and that doctrine doesn’t work for us, see that we need to confess our sins and make God the centerpiece of our life.
1st and 2nd Samuel (2015)

Passage: 1 Samuel 5:3-12
Series: 1st and 2nd Samuel (2015)
Duration: 58 mins 53 secs
Caution! Parts of this lesson may be offensive to those who insist all religious beliefs should be treated with equal respect. Listen to learn that when the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines they rejoiced in triumph which soon turned to terror. God showed His superiority by wreaking havoc on their god, Dagon, and sending humiliating and painful tumors which decimated the population wherever the Ark was taken. As we face the problems in the world today, we need to remember to relax because God is always in control and is bringing His ultimate plans to pass.

Judges (2021)
Wednesday, September 29, 2021
by Robert Dean
Passage: Judges 3:1
Series: Judges (2021)
Duration: 1 hr 2 mins 6 secs
How is our country committing cultural suicide? Listen to this lesson to learn that when we compromise with the devil’s worldview we become paganized. Hear about a mysterious man named Shamgar who was able to defeat six hundred Philistines with an ox goad. Learn why God had to use an unbelieving mercenary soldier to deliver Israel. See that God was using a gentile to bless Israel instead of Israel fulfilling its purpose to bless all the gentile nations. Guard your own thinking from being transformed by the evil culture surrounding us.
Judges (2021)
Tuesday, December 20, 2022
by Robert Dean
Passage: Judges 13:1-3
Series: Judges (2021)
Duration: 1 hr 1 mins 26 secs
Was Samson a hero or a disgraceful, lawless man? Listen to a new study of this man who earned both those descriptions during his lifetime. Find out who the Philistines were and where they dwelled. Learn about the parents of Samson. See that his mother was barren for many years and learn that barrenness was true of many of the most notable women of the Old Testament. See that physical barrenness is a picture of the spiritual barrenness of all of us when we are born, but that God gives new life when we believe in Christ as our Savior.
