He set out to build a mighty temple of worship.\n\nWhen King David began to give of his possessions toward building the temple, he had the mindset of “how MUCH can I give”, not “how LITTLE can I give?” As a result, he inspired his entire country to give sacrificially as well.","image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/nXxpjgRgBHd.png?dt=1625843115803","venues":[{"id":"6EtB9qBK9fQ","name":"At Home","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/6EtB9qBK9fQ"},{"id":"Tbb4ZSPxrqf","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/Tbb4ZSPxrqf"}]},{"id":"BXMd8Dm-8HD","name":"Lesson 3: What’s The Score?","description":"The world has a very different way of keeping score than God does.

Chapter 2 concludes with a poignant statement, emphasizing the silencing of Nineveh's messengers contrasted with Israel's proclamation of peace. Moving to Nahum 3, the focus shifts to God's vindication, illustrating the rightness and justifiability of His wrathful actions against Nineveh. The city is metaphorically compared to a prostitute, highlighting the depth of her humiliation and the subsequent punishments that will follow. The final words of Nahum deliver a specific message to the King of Assyria, foretelling his mortal wound and the ultimate collapse of Assyria. The prophet's accurate predictions showcase God's faithfulness in keeping promises, both in love and justice, challenging misconceptions about His nature and reinforcing the divine fulfillment of prophecies. The lesson prompts reflection on God's goodness, His consistency in keeping promises through justice, and addresses common misconceptions about His character in different biblical contexts.","image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/tXeG41ejkYJ.png?dt=1702172688537","venues":[{"id":"ae-GC3aYKdX","name":"Classroom ","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/ae-GC3aYKdX"}]}]},{"id":"2SZtPJzEwOX","name":"Acts","description":"by Mark Moore","image":"https://content.lessons.church/studies/2SZtPJzEwOX.png?dt=1660223513603","lessons":[{"id":"RCAMY0L8-PV","name":"Session 1: Spirit","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/RCAMY0L8-PV.png?dt=1660855584457","venues":[{"id":"BccaHlaTzbl","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/BccaHlaTzbl"}]},{"id":"eCIJHd0Kxcu","name":"Session 2: Gospel","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/eCIJHd0Kxcu.png?dt=1660855740595","venues":[{"id":"AthXOM9Ubjx","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/AthXOM9Ubjx"}]},{"id":"XNrFsDpELEN","name":"Session 3: Courage","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/XNrFsDpELEN.png?dt=1660855959280","venues":[{"id":"JxD08fuCCva","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/JxD08fuCCva"}]},{"id":"s2I1ZjBtDwW","name":"Session 4: Integrity","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/s2I1ZjBtDwW.png?dt=1660856331167","venues":[{"id":"staEXYIbnRe","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/staEXYIbnRe"}]},{"id":"1aHmYJGBDdg","name":"Session 5: Calling","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/1aHmYJGBDdg.png?dt=1660856558838","venues":[{"id":"pEXiSUwQwlD","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/pEXiSUwQwlD"}]},{"id":"g8dzRMM2F0Y","name":"Session 6: Humility","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/g8dzRMM2F0Y.png?dt=1660856782415","venues":[{"id":"4Vm9S9QFSRk","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/4Vm9S9QFSRk"}]},{"id":"06ercFmGe8N","name":"Session 7: Agility","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/06ercFmGe8N.png?dt=1660856996485","venues":[{"id":"w9kzR6SBQqx","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/w9kzR6SBQqx"}]},{"id":"wDRqs90bFKf","name":"Session 8: Unity","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/wDRqs90bFKf.png?dt=1660857233928","venues":[{"id":"yS05F1blKW9","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/yS05F1blKW9"}]},{"id":"sGi6Xn0jGYC","name":"Session 9: Discipleship","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/sGi6Xn0jGYC.png?dt=1660857436078","venues":[{"id":"3NcY-ckoeH6","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/3NcY-ckoeH6"}]},{"id":"JCIjfIfyVGM","name":"Session 10: Leadership","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/JCIjfIfyVGM.png?dt=1660857639582","venues":[{"id":"1mzuJi19ImG","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/1mzuJi19ImG"}]},{"id":"jJntgYoGeTA","name":"Session 11: Resourcefulness","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/jJntgYoGeTA.png?dt=1660857866576","venues":[{"id":"kSlGJr0w-uC","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/kSlGJr0w-uC"}]},{"id":"e7jgdFi0leH","name":"Session 12: Initiative","description":null,"image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/e7jgdFi0leH.png?dt=1660858250660","venues":[{"id":"Ut1miyFW2tI","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/Ut1miyFW2tI"}]}]},{"id":"3bJCV2hHLRN","name":"Praying the Psalms A Prayer for Everything ","description":"Praying the Psalms: A Prayer for Everything\" by Matt Stafford, 8 sessions from Next Level Online at Ozark Christian College","image":"https://content.lessons.church/studies/3bJCV2hHLRN.png?dt=1719964197888","lessons":[{"id":"RvsJVkmHcNI","name":"Session 01: When you are afraid, the LORD is your light","description":"Fear is a universal emotion, and David confronts it by focusing on God's nature, finding courage to wait and trust. Despite being pursued by Saul and later by Absalom, David consistently sought refuge in God, exemplified in 1 Samuel 23:15-28, where Jonathan encourages him not to fear. This session explores childhood and current fears, divine intervention, and metaphors for God used by David. It discusses how David's confidence in God translates into spiritual strength, encourages worship in response to fear, and offers practical ways to seek God's presence.

Psalm 74, written by Asaph after witnessing Jerusalem's destruction by the Babylonians in 586 BC, reflects this sentiment while also hoping for future deliverance. This session delves into moments of disappointment with God, crises of faith, and God's seeming inaction during evil times. It examines Asaph's response to the temple's destruction, God's broken promises, and the psalm's turning point that looks to the past for present meaning. Practical applications include speaking honestly with God, finding comfort in creation, and trusting God amidst life's uncertainties. Other psalms expressing disappointment include 13, 22, 39, 44, 60, 77, 79, 88, 102, and 137.","image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/_GZCt_qkK__.png?dt=1719964629058","venues":[{"id":"GAATGQ7EX7R","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/GAATGQ7EX7R"}]},{"id":"Qgev06Mn5mB","name":"Session 03: When you are guilty of sin, the LORD forgives","description":"Psalm 32 addresses the destructive power of guilt and the blessedness of forgiveness.

This session explores the physical, emotional, and relational consequences of unconfessed sin, the value of confessing sins to another person, and the comprehensive nature of God's forgiveness in Christ. It emphasizes the joy and freedom found in God's atonement and encourages open confession and trust in God's forgiveness. Other psalms of confession include 6, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143.","image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/Qgev06Mn5mB.png?dt=1719965083179","venues":[{"id":"6do-JBmE5Hh","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/6do-JBmE5Hh"}]},{"id":"im1TQn6UYcW","name":"Session 04: When you are angry, the LORD hears","description":"This session explores how the psalmist, particularly David, channels his anger into prayers for justice, asking God to intervene. While acknowledging the harshness of the language at times, it emphasizes the importance of managing anger appropriately. Psalm 4, written during Absalom’s rebellion, highlights David’s plea for justice and his struggle to find rest amidst betrayal and threats. This study addresses the nature of justified anger, offers biblical examples of righteous anger, and provides practical ways to manage and resolve anger, emphasizing that the LORD hears and responds to our cries for justice.

Despite having all the stress of being a king, judge, and family man, David finds solace in God, who alone provides true rest. The study explores how repetition, self-talk, and trust in God, rather than social status or wealth, lead to peace. It compares David’s rest with the greater rest Jesus offers in Matthew 11:28-30, highlighting the importance of trusting in God and practicing sabbath for rejuvenation. Other psalms of rest include 3, 4, 11, 16, 23, 31, 34, 57, 61, 63, 92, 116, 130, and 131.","image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/VutUYtSesn6.png?dt=1719965422015","venues":[{"id":"53-TlWFTzJa","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/53-TlWFTzJa"}]},{"id":"TNa9U0Tdxn8","name":"Session 06: When you are lonely, the LORD moves in with you","description":"This session explores the deep sense of loneliness and isolation many feel today, especially younger people, despite modern technology's connectivity.

The psalmist's self-talk and hope for better days ahead are central themes. Through a series of questions and reflections, participants are encouraged to find solace in God's presence and to use self-talk to combat loneliness.

Participants explore questions about personal experiences with sickness, biblical connections between sin and illness, and the transformative power of Jesus' teachings on sickness and disability. Psalms about sickness include 6, 38, 39, 41, 69, 102, and 143, while those about resurrection include 30, 40, 68, 103, 116, and 118.","image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/FSog95_JBvr.png?dt=1719965895725","venues":[{"id":"-vY1p9JtFFy","name":"Classroom ","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/-vY1p9JtFFy"}]},{"id":"X6uNhBRSO6k","name":"Session 08: When you are grateful, give thanks to the LORD for he is good","description":"This session explores Psalm 107, which vividly illustrates how YHWH rescues people from various distressing situations—wandering in the desert, imprisonment, sickness, and perilous seas—and inspires gratitude through His deliverance. The psalm's structure reflects a pattern of human need, divine intervention, and thankful praise, emphasizing God's enduring love and justice. Participants discuss personal experiences of seeking help, biblical concepts of redemption, and contemporary parallels to homelessness, hunger, imprisonment, and spiritual sickness. Psalm 107 serves as a gateway to Book 5 of the Psalms, celebrating God's saving acts from the exodus to His enduring presence in the lives of His people.","image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/X6uNhBRSO6k.png?dt=1719966000302","venues":[{"id":"eG5ccAVkCh3","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/eG5ccAVkCh3"}]}]},{"id":"4EGrTwCFpqn","name":"2 Samuel","description":" Michael DeFazio explores 2 Samuel, illustrating our understanding of God and ourselves through David's life and reign, emphasizing our need to repent from sin and accept God's grace.","image":"https://content.lessons.church/studies/4EGrTwCFpqn.png?dt=1660221127084","lessons":[{"id":"nlRUM8XeEoG","name":"Session 1: Approaching 2 Samuel","description":"Session one sets the stage for our study by placing the book of 2 Samuel within its various contexts and thinking through how these help set a framework for reading it well.","image":"https://content.lessons.church/lessons/nlRUM8XeEoG.png?dt=1660684787934","venues":[{"id":"FiTNGBhgkNZ","name":"Classroom","apiUrl":"https://api.lessons.church/venues/public/feed/FiTNGBhgkNZ"}]},{"id":"iR5osHceBP0","name":"Session 2: What Kind of King?

It symbolizes Jesus' glorification, enacts the passing of responsibility, and foreshadows His return. The backstory of Pentecost includes its strategic timing, popularity as a feast, and symbolic significance in undoing language division. Drawing parallels with the Luke-Acts narrative, the importance of waiting, descending, dwelling, and empowering through the Holy Spirit is highlighted. The teaching emphasizes the Holy Spirit's role in empowering communication, re-creation, and validation. Peter's sermon underscores the importance of repentance and allegiance to God.
