Drippings from the Honeycomb: The sweetness of God’s Word one verse at a time.
Do you think the Bible is boring? King David, in one of his psalms, said the Scriptures were so sweet they were like "drippings from the honeycomb." Perhaps it's time that we take a few minutes out of our busy lives and look at the Bible through fresh eyes! Join us on a weekly journey to find these "sweet drippings" as we walk through the books of the Bible by studying selected key verses through which we can glimpse the whole theme of each book! We will look at stories you might not have heard before, talk about the real people and places behind each of these verses, see how one verse can connect to many others across the entire Bible, and learn to see the beauty of God's sovereign plan which is woven through every page of His Word.

Christianity is not a new religion. In fact, it's not 2,000 years old. The truth is that Christianity is as old as the world itself. It has been the only true faith since the creation of the world. It has had different names, but Christianity's core principles have never changed since its inception, recorded in Genesis 3. Faith in God to provide a Messiah who would bring about salvation for sinners in a lost and fallen world.
The apostle Peter understood this reality and wrote about it to the church in his letters. The prophets had faith in the Messiah, though He was not yet revealed. Their faith drove them to seek the Scriptures diligently, even their own prophetic writings so that they would have a firm understanding of who the Messiah would be and when He would appear.
Peter was showing the new believers under his care, and us today, that faith in the Messiah is the basis for salvation. The Old Testament saints looked back at the promises with faith and forward to the Messiah with hope - just as we look back at the cross of Jesus with faith and forward to His return with hope!
