Joel 2:18-3:21 - Whoever Calls on the Name of the Lord Shall be Saved - Jason ArsenaultJoel foresaw a time when all the world would be brought before the Lord in judgment. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, nevertheless, we have this precious promise: "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

2 Corinthians 8:1-15 - The Grace of Giving, Part 1 - Micah RoutonEvery moment of life invites us to decide what we trust—our wealth or our Lord. In seasons of plenty or seasons of need, God uses giving to shape our hearts, and remind us that everything we hold is His. When we offer back to Him what He has placed in our hands we reflect His character, and demonstrate that our riches are found in Him.

Joel 1:1-2:17 - I Will Call Upon Him As Long As I Live - Jason ArsenaultEvery day of our life gives us both reason and opportunity to cry out to the Lord. Whether in plenty or in need, in harvest or in famine and draught. There is never a more appropriate reason, a more reasonable action, than to call upon Him as long as we live.

2 Corinthians 7 - Moving Away From Fantasy - Micah RoutonPaul's confidence in the Corinthians was never rooted in them, but in the God who was faithfully at work within them. He trusted that the One who began the good work would finish it — in His timing, in His ways — even when the final product was not yet visible. The same is true for us. We don’t have to see the end result before resting in the Lord’s steady, purposeful work. We can trust that He knows what He is doing, and we can live with a quiet confidence in the God who works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.

Hosea 11-14 - There is No Other God Like Our God - Jason ArsenaultJust like Israel, we all are like an adulterous wife; we all have followed after other gods, after the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life. Apart from Christ, we are dead in our trespasses in sins. Praise the Lord that our God is like no other — He was not content to leave us like this, but has redeemed us by His blood!

2 Corinthians 6:11-7:1 - What Manner of Persons Ought We to Be - Jason ArsenaultWe have such wonderful promises in Christ — that He dwells among us now, and that we will one day see Him face to face. Until then, we are strangers in a strange land. As long as we are on this earth, we must not be conformed to it, but live a holy life in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.

Hosea 9-10 - A Divided Heart - Mike Wicksted

2 Corinthians 5:12-6:10 - Between Two Worlds - Micah RoutonJesus is Lord. The question is, will we live like it?  Life begins to make sense when we stop trying live between the two worlds and surrender ourselves completely to the One who gave Himself for us.

Hosea 7-8 - The Righteous Cry Out and the Lord Hears - Jason ArsenaultThe people of Israel, though warned time and time again to turn to the Lord, refused to call out to Him. We mustn't make the same mistake. In all the busyness, in all the noise, whether in blessings or in trials, we must cry out to the One who hears and who saves.

2 Corinthians 5:1-11 - Living for Another Day - Micah RoutonAs we journey through this life in worn‑out tents, we do so with our eyes fixed on the day we stand before Christ. Knowing our bodies will be renewed, our faith refined, and our works revealed, we learn to live fearfully faithful—walking by faith, holding this world loosely, and aiming to please the Lord who redeemed us.

Hosea 5-6 - Let us Return to the Lord - Jason ArsenaultWe do our best in life to avoid troubles and hurt and brokenness, but there is a kind of brokenness of heart that is a wonderful thing because it leads to healing. It is that brokenness that causes us to turn and return always to the Lord who came to call sinners to repentance.

2 Corinthians 4 - When Light Travels - Micah RoutonThere’s no question that Jesus is the Light of the world. But how does He continue to shine His light through ordinary, imperfect people like us? Paul reminds us that we are simply clay jars carrying an extraordinary treasure. Click to listen as we discover how God transforms us, sustains us through both the highs and lows of life, and uses everyday disciples to reflect the light of Christ in a world that desperately needs hope.

Hosea 3-4 - The Cost of Redemption - Jason ArsenaultWhile we live out our lives until the coming of the Lord, we must do so aware of the cost of our redemption. Knowing the scope of our own depravity and the surpassing value of the love of Christ, we learn to love as He loved.

2 Corinthians 4:1 - We Have Need of Endurance - Jason ArsenaultWhile we wait for the Lord's return, life will give us plenty of reasons to be discouraged, to be ashamed, to give up — but we mustn't. We need endurance; endurance to continue walking with the Lord by faith. The very ministry that the Lord has entrusted to us, the ministry of the New Covenant, the ministry of the Spirit, and the ministry of righteousness is able to provide that sustaining power as we abide in Christ.

2 Corinthians 3 - Trusting the Author - Micah RoutonEven on days when we feel frustrated that we don’t look as much like Jesus as we want to, we don’t have to hide behind a veil of religiosity. We don’t need to cover ourselves with spiritual language or theological polish.We can trust that He is still transforming us — and that this ongoing transformation brings Him glory. It’s the glory of the New Covenant, carried out by His Spirit, in His ways, and in His timing.And knowing that is why we keep looking to Him, the author and the finisher of our faith.

Hosea 1-2 - Great is His Faithfulness - Jason ArsenaultIn every time and every season, God's faithfulness is exceedingly great. Whatever is happening in the palaces of men, whatever afflictions or attacks may come in our own lives, when our souls sink down within us, we can remember that He will never forsake His people.

2 Corinthians 2 - Aromatic Diffusers - Micah RoutonThrough forgiveness and brokenness, the fragrance of Christ is diffused through God's people when they walk in simple obedience—even when that obedience is uncomfortable.

Daniel 11:21-12:13 - We Do Not Wrestle Against Flesh and Blood - Jason ArsenaultLife on this earth is full of trials and afflictions. It would be one thing if the troubles we faced were merely external or a matter of circumstance, but we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual hosts of wickedness. If we fight a spiritual battle, we need spiritual armor and spiritual weapons to guard and guide our hearts and minds while we wait with patience for the coming of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 1:15-24 - Commit Your Way to the Lord - Jason ArsenaultThough it seems he was criticized for his change of plans, Paul was one who was committing His ways to the Lord, trusting in Him, whether that meant he went or whether he stayed. Any change in his plans was not an indication that there was in vacillation or shadow of turning in the promises of God. As we seek to commit our ways to the Lord as well, we can learn from Paul, what that may look like in our lives today.

Daniel 10:1-11:20 - Through the Bible - Mike Wicksted

2 Corinthians 1:3-14 - A Father's Comfort - Micah RoutonEven an earthly father doesn't always remove every obstacle from his children's path, instead, he walks beside them through it. Our Heavenly Father does that perfectly; He strengthens, He encourages, He sustains — and maybe that is the greatest comfort of all. Not that our Father always changes our circumstances, but that He never stops being our Father in the middle of them.

Daniel 9 - Be Still and Know that He is God - Jason ArsenaultGod is a God who brings desolations! Every act of judgment we see in Scripture, every desolation, every punishment gives us a foreshadowing of that ultimate Day of reckoning; a Day from which we are only saved if our lives are hidden with Christ in God. Because of Christ and the New Covenant ratified in His blood, we can be still and know that He is God; He will be exalted in the earth!

2 Corinthians 1:1-2 - Grace Then Peace - Micah RoutonGrace is God’s unearned favor—given precisely to those who don’t deserve it. If you could earn it, it wouldn’t be grace. And when we refuse to extend grace to others, or even to receive God’s grace ourselves, we end up resisting the very gift He has already offered. The result is simple: we miss the fullness of His grace, and we lose our peace.

Daniel 8 - My Times are in Your Hand - Jason ArsenaultGod's word tells us plainly that He knows exactly when the end will come. It will not come before or after He has ordained it. We can trust Him with the big picture of the times of all of history, we can trust Him with the times and details of our lives as well.

1 Corinthians 16 - An Undivided Heart - Jason ArsenaultIn light of the hope of the resurrection, we are to be steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Having been sanctified in Christ, we desire to follow Him with all our heart. But what does it look like to stand strong in the midst of an ever changing world? How can we have singleness of heart to serve the true in living God until we see Him face to face?

Daniel 7 - The Four Beasts - Mike WickstedVerse by berse through the Bible.

1 Corinthians 15:20-58 - Locked on to Eternal Life - Micah RoutonIf we truly believe that a day is coming when death is defeated, when God wipes every tear from our eyes, and when pain, sorrow, and sickness are no more, then we must also recognize that all these things are finite. They will not last forever, they will not define us, and they will not have the final word. Our tears, our suffering, our grief—they are limited‑edition, temporary realities, and precisely because they are temporary, they are precious.

Daniel 6 - Cast Your Burden on the Lord, and He Shall Sustain You - Jason ArsenaultThe burdens of this world are heavy. We are invited by Christ Himself to lay them down and take His yoke. Sufferings, tribulations, difficulties, distresses, burdens of all kinds are unavoidable in this life. Whether in prosperity in the palace, or the darkness of the lions' den, we can trust in Him who has made us accepted in the Beloved.

1 Corinthians 15:1-20 - Holding Onto Hope - Micah Routon

Daniel 5 - The Handwriting on the Wall - Mike WickstedVerse By Verse Through the Bible

1 Corinthians 14 - Love's Liturgy - Micah RoutonThe beauty of being part of the Body of Christ is that no single member is expected to do everything. God designed His church with intentional interdependence, giving each believer unique spiritual gifts so that we function together in a way that reflects His order and His character. Discovering our place in the body brings both joy and relief—we serve not out of self‑promotion or isolation, but out of love, honoring one another as we live out God’s design.

Daniel 4 - Humble Yourself in the Sight of the Lord - Jason ArsenaultThis Christian life is a life that must be lived in continual subjection, in continual submission to the King of kings. Though we come to Him in boldness, we do so only through His Son, clothed in humility, clothed in His righteousness. We must never consider ourselves as having graduated from that, so we guard against any tendency toward pride, putting to death any inking toward selfish ambition or conceit.

1 Corinthians 12:15-13:13 - Walk in Love - Jason ArsenaultAs we abide in Christ and He in us, the Scriptures teach us that His love is perfected in us. His love is being accomplished, taking root, taking hold, and conforming us into His image as we walk in love toward one another this side of the day we see Him face to face.

Daniel 3 - In The Fire - Mike WickstedVerse by verse study through the Bible.

1 Corinthians 12:1-14 - From Chaos to Communion (Part 2) - Micah RoutonGod has woven His church together with gifts that come from His Spirit, not for status, but for strengthening. Though the gifts are diverse and distributed as He wills, they are given for one purpose: the building up of Christ’s body. As we yield to the Giver and serve one another, chaos gives way to communion, and the life of Jesus becomes visible among us—many members, one body, moving in His power and for His glory.

Daniel 2:14-49 - We Are Receiving a Kingdom Which Cannot be Shaken - Jason ArsenaultWe are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken! The Scriptures tell us we've been transferred into that kingdom already, but it is not yet revealed in its fulness. This hope we have in Him gives us strength for today, and hope for tomorrow, impacting every are of our life while we wait.
