Some time ago Elisa led us in conversations about "tables" and how certain mealtimes moved the story of the Bible forward. For these two weeks Bill wants the group to consider the opposite—how famines (or the lack of food) was a catalyst for biblical events and a force for change in the lives of the characters of the Scriptures.Receive As we ponder why God allowed His people throughout Scripture to experience famines, we can see that God was still working to draw them closer to Him. God is at work in our life as well. When we face hardships and difficulties in our life, let's remember that God is near.  How does reading about how God provided for men and women throughout the Bible help remind you that He is faithful to help you through any trial you may face?   What could drawing closer to God even during difficulties look like for you?   Reflect  Why did God allow someone as faithful as the prophet Elijah to suffer through a famine as we read in 1 Kings 18:2? During famines, how did God provide for Elijah in 1 Kings 17:7–11 and Elisha in  2 Kings 4:38– 41? Why did the four men with leprosy mentioned in 2 Kings 7:3–5 respond to the famine the way they did?  Why did Jesus mention a famine in His parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15:14? Based on Romans 8:35, not even famine can separate us from God's love. How does knowing that truth encourage you during difficult times?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You that You love me and provide for me even during the most difficult times. Please help me to draw closer to You, even when I'm experiencing a famine or lack in my life. Help me to trust Your unending goodness, grace, and mercy.”   Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Joseph by Bill Crowder Tables in the Story of God Week 1 Tables in the Story of God Week 2 The Book of Naomi The Gospel of Ruth  Inseparable God Is At Work—The Story of Ruth Part 1—The Worst of Times  Listen:  The Miraculous life of Elisha | Part 1 The Miraculous Life of Elisha--Part 2 Read: Faithful to the Faithful: 2 Kings 4 Why Should I Trust God? Watch: Trusting God in the Dark with Katie Lewis (Unshakable Moxie) God Is at Work in All Things | Romans 8:28-29

This is the second week of our series, Prayer: Talking With God.

Some time ago Elisa led us in conversations about "tables" and how certain mealtimes moved the story of the Bible forward. For these two weeks Bill wants the group to consider the opposite—how famines (or the lack of food) was a catalyst for biblical events and a force for change in the lives of the characters of the Scriptures. Receive When we stop and consider that so many men and women in the Bible experienced various hardships, including famines, we see how God was still working in their lives to draw them closer to Him. From Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and his family to Naomi and Ruth and King David, they all found themselves in challenging situations. Some of their circumstances may raise some difficult questions, but they also offer some helpful insights into what it means to be people of faith, who in spite of any questions, learn to trust God even in life's most difficult times.  How does reading about how God helped well-known Old Testament figures even during times of famines help you trust God despite your circumstances?  What could your next step toward trusting God during hard times look like?   Reflect  How might Abram's response to a famine in Genesis 12:10 have influenced how his son Isaac response to the famine in Genesis 26:1? How did the famine mentioned in Genesis 42:5 work out for good for Jacob and his family?  How did God give Naomi beauty for ashes after the famine mentioned in Ruth 1:1? Why did King David want to avoid the famine mentioned in 2 Samuel 24:13?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You for being with me even in difficult times. Help me to trust You despite my circumstances. Help me to love and serve You whether I'm in a season of feast or famine.”   Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Joseph by Bill Crowder Tables in the Story of God Week 1 Tables in the Story of God Week 2 The Book of Naomi The Gospel of Ruth Listen: Inseparable   God Is at Work      Read: It's Not Fair - Trusting God When Life Doesn't Make Sense Navigating the Wilderness Watch: Never Out of God's Sight - Genesis 41:1 Running on Empty - Ruth 1:21

Four of the most important men in the Bible never met each other. They lived in different cities. They wrote in different centuries. Some warned kings, some were dragged into exile, and some stood in palace courts. But when you line up their testimonies side by side, every single one of them is describing the same Man. "But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed." — Isaiah 53:5 NLT Scripture Focus: Isaiah 6:8 | Isaiah 53:4–6 | Jeremiah 29:10–11 | Ezekiel 37:4–6 | Daniel 3:16–18Series: The Story of God — Week 7 of 10Save the Cowboy Ministry | Pastor Kevin Weatherby | Kiowa, Colorado What you'll learn in this message: Why the four major prophets are called "major" — and why it has nothing to do with being better What Isaiah warned a nation at its peak, and why comfort is the most dangerous place to be Why Jeremiah is called the weeping prophet and what Jeremiah 29:11 actually means in context How a 30-year-old priest sitting beside an irrigation ditch in Babylon became one of God's greatest messengers How four men who never met, from two different cities, all gave courtroom testimony about the same Man Monday–Friday Bible Study — The Four Witnesses: Download the study guide Listen on the podcast — all episodes updated on YouTube | lxranch.org | Give: pushpay.com/g/savethecowboy

The Bible is filled with feasts and tables set for God's people. Discover the significance of these meals and gatherings and why they still matter today.Receive God delights in setting a table for His people. From the last supper Jesus shared with His disciples before His sacrificial death to the meals He shared with His disciples after His glorious resurrection, there are various lovely moments of fellowship between Jesus and His followers recorded for us in Scripture. The early church also knew the importance of breaking bread together. As we consider the meals mentioned in the Old and New Testaments and the greatest wedding banquet that's still to come mentioned in Revelation, may we rejoice in knowing that God lovingly provides for our every need.   Reflect What do Matthew 9:9–13, Luke 19:1–10, and Luke 7:34 teach us about who is invited to the Lord's table? Why does Jesus' last supper with His disciples recorded in Matthew 26:17–30, Mark 14:12–26, Luke 22:7–23, and John 13–17 still matter to us today? Why did Jesus break bread with His disciples even after His resurrection as mentioned in Luke 24:30–32 and John 21:1–14?   In Acts 2:42–27 we read about the early church sharing meals together. Why would that have been so important to them?   Isaiah 61:10–62:5 and Revelation 19:6–9 point to the church being the bride of Christ and look ahead to Jesus' bridal banquet. How do these Bible verses help you understand how precious you are to God? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You for your love and faithfulness. Thank you for providing for my every need. Help me to trust You even more with every day that passes. Help me to live for You especially as the day of Your great bridal banquet approaches.”   Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: The Holy Land Series Listen: The Abundant God Sinners Dinners Read: The God Who Protects and Provides Humble Hearts, Open Hands Watch: Feast of Sukkah  Inviting Others to the Table

Join us for week 4 of our Holy Spirit series, Wind of God. Taylor Boswell of Foundation Church, speaks on preparing for the Presence.

Pastor Jarrod Walls casts a powerful vision for what it truly means to live on mission—locally, globally, and personally. From serving neighbors and supporting global outreach to boldly stepping out in faith through prayer, this message challenges believers to move beyond comfort and into action.Through the story of Hagar and the name El Roi—“the God who sees me”—we're reminded that God sees the rejected, the broken, and the overlooked. He also sees the sinner, the lost, and the searching—just like Zacchaeus. No matter your past or your pain, God meets you right where you are and calls you into purpose.This sermon is a call to be the Church beyond the walls—to love deeply, serve boldly, and bring the hope of Jesus to a hurting world.

Whether it's in the Garden of Eden, Egypt, the wilderness, or a mountainside near the Sea of Galilee, God knows how to provide for His people. Let's learn about the tables and meals in Scripture.Receive How lovely that the story of God happens around tables. From the farm-to-table picnic of lavish eating in the Garden of Eden, to the “fast food,” rushed meal during the first Passover, to God's provision in the wilderness of heavenly food, on into the New Testament servings of a simple lunch to feed thousands, God delights in providing for His people. May we relish in knowing that God longs to fellowship with His people, including us, and a wonderful way He chooses to do so is to set a table for us. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Genesis 1–3 Exodus 12:1–20 Exodus 16 Psalm 23:5  Matthew 14:13–21 Mark 6:30–44 Luke 9:13–17 John 6:1–13 How does Genesis 1:29–30 show God's generosity toward Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? How does the Passover lamb mentioned in Exodus 12:12–13 point to the coming of Jesus, the Lamb of God? What does Exodus 16:13-20 teach us about God's willingness and ability to provide for His people even in the wilderness? Psalm 23:5 says God prepares a table for you even in difficult situations. How does that give you courage? How does the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with just a simple lunch found in Matthew 14:13–21, Mark 6:30–44, Luke 9:13–17, and John 6:1–13 encourage you that God can provide for your needs?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You for how You lovingly provide for Your people from generation to generation. Thank You for how You continue to faithfully provide for me. Help me to always believe that You alone can satisfy my every need.”  Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: The Holy Land Series Listen: The Abundant God Sinners Dinners Read: From Loaves to Love  Gardens and the History of Humanity  Watch: Are You Hungry?  Provision in Every Season
