After completing our 3 1/2-year cycle of readings in the Torah, we’ve decided to continue with the historical books that follow, beginning with Joshua. We’ll read first about the conquest of the Canaanite tribes, then examine the disappointing time of the Judges – punctuated by the exploits of Gideon and Samson – and the turmoil that led up to the anointing of Saul as King.
This story looks back at the first rise of idolatry in Israel after the death of Joshua. The people forgot God’s commandments about idolatry, the Tabernacle, and the ministry of priests and Levites. Covetousness leads to a cascade of problems for a man named Micah.
We’ll be celebrating Pentecost at the Rest Yourself River Ranch in Mineral Wells this weekend, Friday through Sunday, June 4-6. We’ll do baptism, eat some blintzes, read the Book of Ruth and relax away from the city!
Samson submits to the ‘pressure’ from Delilah and reveals his secret. His story represents the faithlessness of Israel, but his last act is self-sacrifice as a type of Christ.
All are invited to a memorial service for Rebekah Rutledge Kirkpatrick on Saturday, May 22. (We will not have a Sunday meeting).

Samson unleashes a strange attack with flaming foxes, is betrayed by his countrymen but eventually wreaks revenge on the Philistines by killing 1,000 of them with only the jawbone of an ass.
We're starting to renew our in-person meetings as the pandemic winds down. Sunday Big Group meetings and the Buckner Tuesday Bible study are currently meeting both in person and with a Zoom option.
Our church community gathers throughout the week at different places on The Block, a neighborhood between downtown and the Lakewood area of Dallas, Texas, near the corner of Beacon and Columbia Ave. We'd love to have you join us!
If you can’t make it to The Block, you can listen to podcasts from the archive by our late elder, Ole Anthony, recorded at his daily Morning Bible Studies, available here.
