Download or read book Unsung Heroes and a Few Villains written by Wanda Robinson and published by Gospel Advocate Company. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Are They? So often when we read the Old Testament, all we notice are the superheroes of faith - larger-than-life men like Abraham, Moses and David. We may have trouble relating to men of such spiritual stature. We think, "I'll never have the faith of Noah or Joseph." But there are other people in the Bible, unsung heroes whose lives and faith made a difference on a smaller scale - people more like us. We can identify with people like Ithamar the list maker. Or how about Caleb, Nabal's servant and Ebed-Melech who all made a stand for what was right? Wanda Robinson's study on relatively unknown men in the Bible is full of lessons on living God's way. Super-power your faith with a look at these unsung heroes (and a few villains along the way).

This book was released on 2015-08-19 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you and I read the Holy Scriptures, we look out for the "giants" like the Apostle Peter, whom Jesus appointed the leader of the Apostles; or we give our attention to Paul the apostle to the none-Jewish believers and Moses always grabs our attention of course. However, there are people in the Bible who play such special roles that their stories contribute tremendously to make the book the most exceptional book known to man. My purpose for writing this book is to call attention to the revelation the Spirit brought to me a while ago - He said: "I do not determine value with the metrics or measurements that humans use. For instance, the prophets in the Old Testament are grouped into Minor Prophets and Major Prophets by man; and those two categories are determined by the size of the book that the prophets were inspired to write - prophets who wrote large volumes, are classified as major and those who wrote smaller volumes, are described as minor. However, when I chose my own Major Prophet to appear alongside Moses, My Servant during the transfiguration of the Son, I chose someone who did not write even a sentence - I chose Elijah. So you see that I do not use the measure of men." Thus I write to draw the attention of the body of Christ to those characters that we have neglected because they are either mentioned once in the scriptures or their stories are so short that they seem insignificant. My decision is in keeping with the truth of the Word in 1 Corinthians 12 that the very members of Christ's body which seem to be the feeblest are very necessary. This book is also written to encourage Christians who are doing the apparently insignificant things in the churches of Christ and in all true ministries all over the world, that the Lord observes everything and His Word to those who did big things and those who did small things will be same "You have been faithful over a FEW things; I will make thee ruler over MANY things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." How gracious! As I prepared to write this book, I was amazed to see the roles that these unsung heroes and heroines played in the gospel of God's Son and I have learned a lot from paying attention to those characters that I have hitherto ignored. Another thing that absolutely shook my knowledge of the scriptures is about the financial sponsorship of the Lord's ministry while He walked the land of Israel... So how did Jesus get money for the ministry? The answer is here: we are told that there were women who followed Him everywhere, rich women, women who had been healed from sicknesses and diseases and some of them delivered from demon oppression and possession; and that those women ministered to Him or continuously donated money to him from their substance or savings and incomes. Three of them are mentioned as Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Suzanna; and the rest are described as Many Others or many other women. Wow! The ministry of the Lord while He walked the earth was sponsored mainly by women - these women will be the first heroines that we will examine in this book, and they appear in chapter three; and thankfully, the number of the leaders, 3, is in alignment with the chapter number - what a mighty God we serve! In this book you will encounter names you did not even realize existed in the Bible, but their stories will so bless you that you will not forget their names and the sight of those names will bring smiles to your face when you see them after you read this book. You will meet Stephanas, Dionysius, Tychicus, Rhoda, Epaphroditus, Susanna, Joanna, Onesiphorsu, Sylvanus and many others. This book is called, The Unsung Heroes and Heroines of the Holy Bible and it is yours to enjoy and share with family, friends... Learn everything you can from these "minor" characters of the scriptures - read the book as many times as you can and I promise you that with every read, you will learn vital new truths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 101 BIBLE HEROES "History" is "HIS STORY." It might be easy to assume that a "Bible Hero" is anyone named in the Bible, but it depends on your definition of a hero. To understand what Bible heroes are, we first need to understand what the Bible is. From the perspective of history and literature, the Bible is a library of books, covering thousands of years of history, written by many different authors from diverse cultures. That is helpful and interesting, but there is more. The Bible is the Word of God: God's revelation of who He is and what He has done. The Divine Author has woven a thread throughout the Book that ties it all together: the Big Hero Story. What is the Big Hero Story of the Bible? The Story is God's redemption of sinful, fallen humanity. God Himself is the Hero, invisible to human view until the Hero became the Man Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Promised in the very first pages of the Old Testament and revealed in the pages of the New Testament, Jesus of Nazareth is ..".the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation." To purchase humanity's redemption from sin and death, the sinless God-man paid our penalty on the cross. Jesus didn't just sacrifice himself for people who liked him, but for all sinful people, whom the Bible calls "enemies" of God. In Romans 5:7, the Apostle Paul makes the point that rarely will someone die for a good person. The uncommon situation does happen when a hero sacrifices himself for friends or loved ones, But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The Bible, the Ultimate Story, is the story of a Hero giving himself for others who don't know or understand why. So, the Ultimate Hero of the Ultimate Story helps us understand what a hero is: someone who does what no one else would or could do so that others might benefit, with no thought of personal gain. In the Bible, the primary "Hero Story" is fleshed out by many smaller "hero stories." The Scriptures are a collection of stories that are framed by the Big Story of God's redemption through Jesus Christ. In other words, the small "hero stories" are not disconnected from each other. They are connected and defined by the Big Hero Story. These small hero story characters demonstrate real people living and acting in time and space. These characters are historical, and though the world may scoff at Bible history, people of faith find these stories the most heroic stories in all the world. It might be helpful to categorize Bible heroes in four ways: 1.Characters who were God's heroic INSTRUMENTS. There are a few unusual Bible heroes that God used in very specific situations. 2.Characters with heroic FAITH. "Faith" is defined as "active trust and belief displayed through obedience." The Bible itself tells us that people of faith are key characters in God's redemptive story. Hebrews 11 has been called the "Hall of Faith." It lists names of Biblical people who were notable for their faith in God. Biblical heroes of FAITH were most often simple people with extraordinary trust. 3.Characters with heroic ACTIONS. These are the stories that are most well known. Heroes of ACTION did what had to be done to save or help others. Most of these heroes had some serious issues, but their ACTIONS made them heroic. 4.Characters with heroic NATURE. This is the narrowest of all categories, with only a few falling into it. Of course, the most important one is Jesus Christ Himself, whose heroic nature defines all other heroes for us. Some of the Bible heroes may fit in more than one category, but each of their stories weaves the fabric of the Big Hero Story together. May this journey from Genesis to Revelation with the Bible heroes fill you with the grace, peace, and wonder of God as you travel.
