Here Comes Trouble (2 Chronicles 20)
Jehoshaphat was a good king. He worked hard, with integrity, to lead God’s people God’s way. One day, from out of nowhere, three enemies came together, forming a mighty alliance to attack the nation of Judah.
Jehoshaphat and his people didn’t stand a chance…until they called upon the name of God.
In this story, we encounter:
• A courageous king…
• An act of faith….
• The power of praise…
• The promise of victory.
These lessons demonstrate how we can follow Jehoshaphat’s example in the face of trouble to find victory through the power of God.

SHEEPISH (PSALM 23)
Before he was king, David was a shepherd. As he spent his days and nights looking after sheep in the desert, he learned some of life’s most important lessons.
This great future leader learned that he was, before anything else, a sheep in God’s pasture, under the shepherd’s care.
Years later, after many victories and defeats, he put these life lessons into words. Psalm 23 is David’s manifesto. His creed. His statement of life and purpose.
This book opens the beloved psalm phrase-by-phrase, focusing on the life principle taught in each verse.
These lessons will help you learn to experience contentment, find everyday peace, live with purpose, confront trouble with confidence, receive God’s abundance, and face the future with optimism and hope.
