Spiritual Truths from Ordinary People in Extraordinary Circumstances
The Old Testament is not merely a collection of ancient stories—it is a living testimony of men and women who walked with God through uncertainty, suffering, leadership, failure, courage, and faith.
Timeless: Lessons from Lives That Walked with God is a journey through the lives of key Old Testament figures whose stories still speak powerfully today. Each message explores how God shaped ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances—and how their faith still instructs ours.
These are not stories of perfect people.
They are stories of trusting people.
And through their lives, we see timeless spiritual truths about obedience, perseverance, repentance, courage, leadership, and hope.
From Abraham stepping into the unknown to Nehemiah rebuilding broken walls, this series shows us that the same God who worked in their lives is still at work in ours.
