Psalm 133 - Behold how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity.
1 Samuel 5:1-6:16 - Israel and their neighbors have constantly been at war. Along with this comes spoils, but the Philistines did not realize what they were getting when they stole the ark of the covenant. You would expect that God would send Israel to fight and deliver the ark, but this story illustrates how God does it Himself. The imagery of the god Dagon falling on his face still rings true for any gods that we set up in place of God.
Acts 18:1-28 - The story of Apollos is an important one to me. Throughout Acts we see two major players. Those who know the good news and those who don't. Even though Apollos taught about Jesus he still didn't know everything he needed to. It can be easy for us to assume we know all that we need to, but like Apollos, there's always a little more education that is good for us.
