Lesson 2

Dr. John Phillips teaches this lesson from the life of Jacob. Jacob was a man with many character flaws that caused him and his family much grief. How did God go about transforming his life?

Lesson 3

Dr. Phillips introduces a very interesting and little known preacher in the O.T.(Balaam). He was the man that is known for a donkey having spoke with him. His life is a sad record of what happens to one of God's servants that has a high rigid standard for his listeners but a very forgiving and flexible one for himself.

Lesson 4

The Bible character in this study is one that is relatively obscure, General Abner. His life serves to teach us some vital lessons on how to treat God's leaders.

Lesson 5

This study is about another military leader that you may have heard little, General Joab. He was a man of impressive talent but of infamous character. We can learn from his life some needy truths concerning loyalty and motives.

Lesson 6

In this study you learn from one of God's most impressive O.T. preachers (Elijah). In one of his miracles you can see a great illustration of Calvary. He was a very ordinary man that God used in a extraordinary way.
