Ezra #8 – To You and Your Children

19 February 2023 By David Trounce

#8 To You and Your Children - Studies in the Book of Ezra

Those who came back under Ezra tended to be from those families that had come back in 538 B.C. (Ezra 2). Is there a principle here that would give encouragement and hope to parents? The message here seems to be that covenant faithfulness tends to run in families. "Even over … [Read more...] about Ezra #8 – To You and Your Children

#7 Jesus and Parenthood

7 March 2021 By David Trounce

#7 Jesus and Parenthood

A family is a culture. It's a colony with citizens. It has its own language, customs, laws and religion. The constitution for this government is written by God and revealed in His word.

#46 Jesus, Impossible Commands - The Life and Times of Jesus

We tend to want to make the gospel as easy as possible for others to accept. Palatable. But Jesus went the other way and often did it without explanation or qualification. We want mass appeal.
