Maybe you’ve heard of the most famous of Jesus’s teachings, “The Sermon on the Mount,” but what is the what is the “Sermon on the Plain”? Find out in today’s The Journey Bible Project blog, as Greg Taylor explains five remarkable differences between these two tellings of the famous teachings of Jesus.
Why have humans historically pushed God away? In this insightful blog post, Greg Taylor introduces a useful resource for evangelism, the Jesus Film, and shows a clip of the episode in Luke 5 where Peter pushes Jesus away.

What if you had six major confrontations in your first three months at your new job? You’d probably be fired, even if you were right.

When in 2 Samuel 23:1-39 David speaks about his kingdom, it sounds like bragging, but is it?
Today’s entry in The Journey Bible Project blog is pretty cool, because here David sings a song (2 Samuel 22:1-51) that is the same as Psalm 18. What do we do when we realize how much God has done for us? David sings and calls others to sing with him!
In 2 Samuel 21:1-22 we see another example of the truth of Nathan’s prophecy over David’s sin, the consequences of David’s and Israel’s sins that David and the next generations must endure.
The story of David at this point is a classic study of what one king does when it seems everyone has turned against him.
David has done such a good job of capturing the hearts and minds of even his former enemies, that soon the men of Israel are arguing with the men of Judah over who is more loyal to David. Today’s Journey Bible Project blog calls us to become merciful to those who wish to harm us.
David learns to receive his soldiers with honor, even after they’ve killed his own son.
