Titus 2:9-10 — “Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters…” In this the final study in our series, we come to the largest group in the church that Paul wanted Titus to address. These were the slaves and at the time they may have constituted up to 30% of the population of the…
II Chronicles 20:14-30 — “And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.” We can understood why Judah praised the LORD after the battle was won, for He delivered His people in a…
