Oh, the freedom of open doors. And oh, the inconvenience of locked gates--unless one happens to be in Afghanistan. The sons and daughters of Israel experienced tremendous open doors. However, Moses, their leader suffered the absolute tragedy of a locked gate. God told him that he was not to enter the land of promise. What was the reason for the locked gate? And how does that apply to our lives today? Come with the Grace United crew as we explore open doors and locked gates.

Warfare is a tragic, evil thing. It's been with us almost as long as we've been around. Where did the idea come from? And what about a guy named Og? Who was he? And the Rephaim--what about them? Nephilim, anyone? These things are talked about in "The Sihog Campaign." Come with the Grace United crew as we explore them.

The Apostle Paul considered his mission a matter of eternal life or eternal death. He was fearless in his proclamation of the gospel. Even the demons knew who Paul was.

Where are the bold servants of God who will protect His people from false teachers? Come with the Grace United crew as we experience Paul attack the false teachers with devastaing force --to the glory of God.

The world is emerging from a physical pandemic. However, in Moses' day, Israel was threatened with a pandemic of their own. It was not physical, but spiritual. It was deadly. Radical action needed to be taken, lest the whole body of Israel die. What was it that needed such drastic attention? What sorts of remedies did Moses prescribe to help them, should the pandemic become realized? Join the Grace United crew as we discover Israel's Spiritual Pandemic.

War is among the uglliest, if not the ugliest activities anybody can engage in. People don't use the phrase, "war is hell" for nothing. Imagers of God actually killing fellow imagers of God with the sanction, with the approval, with the command of one's respective government. It was no different with Israel, as the Lord commanded his people to go to war. However Moses gave instructions about how soidiers were to ready themselves in preparation to fight against their enemy. What were those instructions? Is engaging in warfare proper for God's people today? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover anew and afresh of God's dealing with warfare, from the perspective of his holiness.

Introduction: The Bible teaches us that God’s ways are not ours, and that God’s wisdom is folly to man, and that man’s wisdom is folly to God.
