God Unread - Hebrews 1:1-2
Though the authorship of Hebrews is uncertain, the early church recognized it as Spirit-inspired Scripture, affirming that God has spoken definitively through His Son. In a world full of voices, opinions, and competing authorities, Hebrews reminds us that God’s Word carries ultimate weight—not...
-
The Wrath of God (Part V) - 2 Kings 10:18-36
Jehu wipes out Baal worship from Israel in a sweeping victory for God’s truth, yet he still clings to the golden calves, showing that partial obedience falls short of true faithfulness. It is possible to be zealous against obvious evil while quietly tolerating idols that feel comfortable or...
-
The Wrath of God - Part IV - 2 Kings 10:1-17
God’s judgment on the house of Ahab is carried out completely, as Jehu removes every remaining heir to fulfill what the Lord declared through Elijah. The wrath of God is not partial or unfinished. His justice is thorough and final. This is both a warning and a comfort: sin will not be overlooked…

The Vengeance of God - Part III - 2 Kings 9:30-37
In her final moments, Jezebel meets Jehu not with cowering or repentance but with haughty defiance, yet God’s long-promised judgment still falls, ending her reign of violence and idolatry. The end of Jezebel’s story reminds us that God’s patience has limits, and when the time comes, His justice...
-
The Vengeance of God - Part II - 2 Kings 9:14-29
At God's direction, Jehu strikes down the King of Israel, fulfilling long-awaited justice and exposing the hypocrisy of a family that cloaked violence. When God calls us to a task—whether of justice, faithfulness, or repentance—there will always be voices, internal or external, urging us to turn...
-
The Vengeance of God - 2 Kings 9:1-13
God anoints Jehu to execute judgment on the house of Ahab—not as a personal vendetta, but as divine vengeance for the blood of His prophets and people. God is patient, but not indifferent to injustice. He keeps account of evil done against His people and, in His perfect timing, brings judgment to...
-
Over the Guardrail - 2 Kings 8:25-29
Despite clear warnings and tragic precedent, Ahaziah aligns himself with Israel’s corrupt royal family—and like those before him, tumbles into judgment. Some of the most dangerous decisions we make don’t require bold rebellion—just the refusal to do nothing. When God warns us to avoid…
more -
The Walls Close In - 2 Kings 8:16-24
Jehoram’s reign begins with compromise and ends in collapse, as Judah suffers the consequences of alliances forged with evil, but God’s covenant faithfulness still preserves a remnant. In this text, we see that unity is not inherently good. Binding ourselves to ungodly people or systems often...
-
The Lord's Introduction - Exodus 34:1-9
When God introduces Himself to Moses, He reveals a character both merciful and just—overflowing with love and forgiveness, yet unwilling to ignore guilt. This tension raises profound questions about inherited sin and individual responsibility. Ezekiel 18 clarifies that each person is accountable...
-
Return of the King - Mark 10:46-12:12
As Jesus enters Jerusalem, His actions reveal the heart of a king returning to claim what is rightfully His—but not with pomp, rather with purpose and judgment. He heals the broken, clears the temple, curses fruitless pretense, and confronts corrupt leadership through powerful parables. The King...
-
The Coming Kingdom - Mark 10:32-45
Jesus entered Jerusalem not to claim a throne, but to give His life as a ransom for many. In a world that prizes dominance and status, He redefines greatness as servanthood and leadership as sacrifice. His Kingdom is not built by strength, ruthlessness, or charisma, but by humility, grace, and...
-
Born to Restore - Revelation 21:1-7
The coming of Jesus was not only about forgiveness but about full restoration—of bodies, relationships, creation, and hearts. From healing the broken to calming the storm, Jesus revealed His power to make things whole again. His mission points forward to a new heaven and a new earth where every...
-
Born to Rule - Philippians 2:5-11
Jesus came not only to save but to reign. Though His current rule in heaven is often permissive, Scripture promises He will one day rule absolutely on earth. Prophecies and epistles alike declare His coming kingdom, and Philippians 2 reveals the path from humility to exaltation. The question…
more -
Born to Conquer - Genesis 3:1-15
Humanity’s first encounter with sin in Genesis 3 wasn’t just a moral failure—it was a decisive moment of spiritual invasion. Jesus came not only to atone for sin, but to conquer the enemy who introduced it and to undo the works of the devil. Unlike Adam and Eve, who were tempted externally, we…
more -
Born to Atone - Hebrews 2:1-18
This message from Hebrews 2 explores why Jesus didn’t just appear briefly to die on the cross but instead came into the world as a human baby. God's plan was to redeem humanity by sending His Son to experience our weakness and taste death for everyone. Jesus’ humanity was essential so that he…

The Low Door - Mark 10:13-16
Jesus says we must receive the kingdom of God like a little child or we will never enter it. Sobering, serious words. So, what does it mean do receive the kingdom of heaven like a little child?
-
What God Has Made - Mark 10:1-12
The Pharisees try to turn people against Jesus with a difficult question about divorce. Jesus' answer reveals the beautiful and special creation of God that a marriage is.

The Teachings of the Holy Spirit
In this message, we look at the didactic (or direct teaching) books of the Bible, principally, the New Testament letters. We look at Colossians 1 and 2 for illustration.
-
Hero of Heaven - Daniel 3
We conclude our focus on how to read biblical narratives with a look at Daniel chapter 3, the familiar story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Here we pull our focus away from the three Hebrew men and their faithfulness to see what God is about, not only in this chapter, but the entire book of...
-
The Stories of God - Isaiah 37
We continue our series on how to read the Bible. In this message, we look at Isaiah 37 and examine the elements of narrative, prophecy, and poetry, as well as how these events fit into the grand narrative of God's redemption throughout the Bible.

-
The Two Covenants - Romans 3:20
In this message we explore the relationship between the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. We discover that the entire Bible presents a grand arc of Creation, Fall and Redemption, and that much of the Old Testament is preparing the groundwork for the coming of Jesus by creating a people that is...
-
What is the Bible?
In John 5:36-40, Jesus tells the Pharisees that the scriptures testify about him. We look at the Bible, it contents, its origins, and why we can trust it, both Old and New Testaments, and how we can find within the Revelation of Jesus Christ, from beginning to end.
-
The War in Moab - Part II
We conclude 2 Kings Chapter 3, looking at the fulfillment of Elijah's prophecy, grapple with the question of why Israel and Judah withdrew from the war, and discuss how to apply Biblical narratives to our lives following Jesus today.
-
Through the Waters - 1 Peter 3:18-22
What would you fear if you knew that God had gone ahead of you into every trial, every struggle, and had conquered? Peter uses the events of Noah's time to bring home to us the idea that Christ has conquered all and that everything has been made subject to him. What, then, should we fear?
-
Husbands and Wives - 1 Peter 3:1-8
How can you show the truth of the Gospel with your life? Peter shows how husbands and wives can model the transformative power of Christ for unbelievers, including the one you might be married to.
-
Called to This - 1 Peter 2:18-25
Peter tells Christians that they are called to endure unfairness and hardships in following the example of Christ.
-
Authority - 1 Peter 2:13-17
Peter instructs Christ-followers to submit to those in authority. We discuss what submission looks like in day-to-day life, the rare exceptions to the command to submit, and we think about the concept of submission as not just a passive acceptance of being under someone else's control, but rather...
-
When God Visits - 1 Peter 2:11-12
Peter presents two reasons for living godly lives: one which benefits us, and another that can bring unbelievers around us to a willingness to receive God on the day he visits their lives.
-
A Temple and a Priesthood - 1 Peter 2:4-10
Peter here tells us one important thing about Jesus: he is the chief cornerstone of the faith (and the universe), and two important things about us: God has made us to be living stones in the new temple of God, and he has made us to be royal priests serving in that temple. Listen as we discuss…
more -
