Top Highlights

“When the foundation of the temple was laid, the people had a worship party. But, the singing and shouting with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord (3:11) was mixed with equally loud weeping from the older priests, Levites, and family leaders, who had seen the first temple (3:12)—Solomon’s temple that the Babylonians had destroyed. So, while it was a joy to be building God’s temple again, those who remembered what once had been knew it would not achieve its former glory.” (Page 454)

“Regardless, they shared his trade as tentmakers, worked together (18:3), and eventually became ministry partners” (Page 1098)

“Like David, we must recognize that we have one source. There are many resources—many channels God may use to provide and care for your physical well being—but you have only one source. And God never runs dry. That’s why David’s cup overflowed.” (Pages 519–520)

“Jesus began using parables to teach about the kingdom. A parable is a story used as an analogy to explain a spiritual truth.” (Page 887)

“There is only one King who reigns in power over the universe. God sits in judgment on kings and nations. God judged the unrighteousness of Nebuchadnezzar’s government because he sought to usurp the authority that belongs to God alone. And in the end, Nebuchadnezzar wound up making the very confession God decreed he would make—‘Heaven rules’ (4:34–37; see 4:26).” (Page 774)
