Esther 8-10
The end of the Book of Esther paints a vivid picture of what it looks like to remember and celebrate God's faithfulness, even when the story is not yet finished. After Haman's defeat, a dangerous royal decree still threatened the Jewish people, yet God worked through the mess to bring about a...
-
Esther 5-7
The book of Esther is a powerful story about ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances, where God works behind the scenes even when He seems completely silent. Esther, a Jewish queen in Persia, risked her life to stand before King Xerxes and expose a plot to exterminate her people.…

Table Talk (E89): Esther Week One
God is present even when He feels absent. The book of Esther is a powerful reminder that His name never appears in the text, yet His fingerprints are all over the story. Most of life is lived in the ordinary, and God is just as faithful in the routine as He is in the miraculous. He has placed you...
-
Esther 1-4
The Book of Esther is set in the Persian Empire around 483 to 473 BC, following a Jewish woman named Esther and her cousin Mordecai as they face an impossible threat against their people. What makes this book unique is that God is never mentioned by name, yet His presence is woven through every...

Table Talk (E88): Garden City Week Five
Kaleb and David discuss week five of the series "Garden City"
-
Garden City: Series Wrap up
What you believe about the future shapes how you live today. Many Christians have grown up with the idea that God will one day destroy this world entirely, but Scripture paints a very different picture. Rather than total annihilation, the Bible describes a purification and renewal of creation…

Table Talk (E87): Garden City Week Four
Rest is not a reward we earn. It is a gift God has already given us. The practice of Sabbath goes all the way back to Genesis, where God Himself paused after creation, not because He was tired, but because He wanted to delight in what He had made. For the Israelites, Sabbath was a powerful…
more -
Garden City: Sabbath + Rest
God built a rhythm of rest into creation from the very beginning, and it was never meant to be something we crash into out of exhaustion. The Hebrew word Shabbat means to stop or cease, but Sabbath is more than just pausing. It is an active practice of delight, joy, and worship. When God created...
-
Table Talk (E86): Garden City Week Three
Kaleb and David discuss the important move to two services and preview week four of the series "Garden City"
-
Garden City: Work Isn't Cursed
Work was part of God's original design, not a punishment. But after the fall in Genesis 3, the ground was cursed, and that curse is what makes work feel so exhausting and frustrating today. The thorns we experience, whether difficult coworkers, burnout, injustice, or even our own pride, grow...
-
Table Talk (E86): Garden City Week Three
God's calling is not reserved for pastors and missionaries. It reaches into every corner of life, including the places that feel the most ordinary. Whether you are flipping burgers, managing a team, or raising children at home, your everyday work can be an act of worship and a platform for…
more -
Garden City: Everything is Spiritual
Most of us have quietly divided our lives into two categories: the sacred and the secular. But this divide was never part of God's design. From the opening pages of Genesis, God is working with His hands, creating and calling it good. Jesus spent 30 years living an ordinary life as a builder…

Table Talk (E85): Garden City Week Two
Kaleb and David discuss week two of the series "Garden City"
-
Garden City: Calling
David Guyer speaks on how God designed each of us with intention, like a poet carefully crafting every word. Your calling is not some hidden sign buried out in the world waiting to be discovered. It begins by looking inward at how God already made you. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are His...
-
Table Talk (E84): Garden City Week One
Before God ever gave Adam a job, He gave him an identity. Work was originally designed by God to be joyful, meaningful, and connected to something far greater than a paycheck. Sin fractured that design, but it did not erase it. Every person carries equal value before God because every person is...
-
Garden City: What it Means to be Human
Worship Pastor Joel Duzan begins the series "Garden City." Before God ever gave humanity something to do, He told them who they were. Identity is not achieved. It is received. Genesis reveals that work was part of God's good design from the very beginning, not a consequence of sin, but a gift…

Table Talk (E83): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week 13
God is not in the business of destruction. He is in the business of restoration. The final chapters of Revelation reveal a God who is making all things new, not replacing what He created, but renewing it. Heaven and earth will one day be rejoined, and God will dwell with His people, wiping every...
-
Behind The Curtain: All Things New (Rev. 21-22)
Revelation is not a story about destruction. It is a story about God renewing all of creation and coming to dwell with His people forever. The new heaven and new earth described in Revelation 21 and 22 point to a world without chaos, pain, death, or mourning. God does not wait for us to strive…
more -
Table Talk (E82): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week 12
Revelation is not a book meant to frighten or confuse. At its core, it is a book of hope, pointing toward God's ultimate plan to restore all of creation and reunite with His people forever. Just as the prophecies of the Old Testament came into perfect clarity when Jesus arrived, the mysteries of...
-
Behind The Curtain: Return of the King (Rev. 19:11- Ch. 20)
The book of Revelation is not meant to frighten us. It is meant to fill us with hope. Jesus is returning, not as a distant figure, but as a bridegroom coming for His bride, and the celebration He is preparing is beyond anything we could imagine. Evil, no matter how powerful it appears, cannot…
more -
Table Talk (E81): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week 11
Revelation is not just a mysterious roadmap of end-times events. It is a letter written to real churches facing real dangers, carrying two powerful messages: a better day is coming, and seduction always leads to destruction. The imagery of the prostitute in Revelation 17 warns against spiritual...
-
Behind The Curtain: The Counterfeit Kingdom (Rev. 17:1-19:10)
Revelation 17 through 19 is not a book of fear or a prediction tool. It is a warning and an invitation. The image of Babylon, the great prostitute, represents any seductive power that draws people away from God and toward self-worship, whether that was Rome in the first century or subtle...
-
Table Talk (E80): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week Ten
We all long for justice, and that longing is not a flaw. It is a reflection of how God made us. God is not temperamental or erratic in His judgment. His emotions are stable, His anger is purposeful, and His justice is always perfectly expressed. Because of what Jesus did on the cross, the…
more -
Behind The Curtain: Evil Defeated (Rev. 15-16)
Evil will not have the last word. God's justice flows from His goodness, His holiness, and His love for the people and creation He made. Revelation 15 and 16 pull back the curtain on the spiritual realities behind human empires and systems of power, showing that God will ultimately confront and...
-
Table Talk (E79): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week Nine
Revelation 14 is one of the most misunderstood passages in all of Scripture, but its message is far more encouraging than confusing. The number 144,000 is not a literal headcount of the saved. It is a powerful symbol representing the entire people of God across all of history, both Old Testament...
-
Behind the Curtain: The Victory of the Lamb (Rev. 14)
Revelation 14 pulls back the curtain on what is really happening behind the scenes of history. While the beast appears powerful and unstoppable, the Lamb stands victorious on Mount Zion, surrounded by His people. Three angels announce the eternal gospel, the fall of Babylon, and the consequences…
more -
Table Talk (E78): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week Eight
Revelation presents two kingdoms in direct conflict: Babylon, built on arrogance, violence, and idolatry, and the New Jerusalem, defined by love, mercy, and hope. The beast is dangerous not because it looks evil, but because it looks appealing, often wearing spiritual language to disguise its…
more -
Behind the Curtain: Who Has Your Allegiance? (Rev. 13)
Revelation 13 is not a chapter about decoding symbols or predicting future events. It is a chapter about allegiance. The two beasts described by John represented real forces in the first century, most notably the Roman Empire and the corrupt religious systems that propped it up. The number 666…
more -
Table Talk (E77): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week Seven
The world feels broken because there is a real war happening behind everything we see. Revelation 12 pulls back the curtain on a cosmic conflict involving a dragon, a child who will rule, and God's people caught in the middle. The chaos, division, and pain we experience are not random. There is…
more -
Behind the Curtain: The War Behind the World
The world feels broken because there is a real cosmic conflict happening behind the scenes. Revelation 12 pulls back the curtain on that conflict, showing us a dragon, a woman, and a child whose story is actually the story of everything. The dragon is Satan, the woman represents the people of God...

Kaleb and David discuss week 6 of the series " Behind the Curtain"
-
Behind the Curtain: The Lamb's Marching Orders
Revelation 8-11 reveals God’s judgment as part of His redemptive purpose to confront evil, call people to repentance, and bring His kingdom fully into creation. The seven trumpets echo the plagues of Exodus, showing that God judges not because He delights in destruction, but because He is...
-
Table Talk (E75): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week Five
Revelation is often misunderstood as a book of doom, but at its heart it is a message of hope and restoration. God's judgment is not aimed at destroying people. It is aimed at removing sin, darkness, and everything that keeps humanity from flourishing. We all long for justice, and Revelation...
-
Behind the Curtain: The Lamb's Army in a Broken World
Explore the profound symbolism and insights in Revelation 6-8:5, where the breaking of the seven seals reveals God's plan for redemption and justice. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—conquest, war, famine, and death—depict the harsh realities of our world. The fifth seal shows martyrs seeking...
-
Table Talk (E74): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week Four
The book of Revelation presents a powerful image of Jesus as both Lion and Lamb, showing God's perfect balance of love and justice. When John expects to see a conquering lion, he instead witnesses a slain lamb with seven horns and seven eyes, representing complete power and wisdom. This imagery...
-
Behind the Curtain: The Throne and the Lamb
The book of Revelation chapters 4 and 5 reveals a profound truth about who truly holds power in the universe. When John was given a vision of God's throne room, he discovered that despite the chaos and suffering we see around us, the throne is not empty - God reigns supreme. But the most…
more -
Table Talk (E73): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week Three
The letters to the seven churches in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 contain direct words from the risen Christ to His people. Jesus follows a consistent pattern of affirming what churches do well before addressing areas needing correction. These churches didn't start compromised but gradually…
more -
Behind the Curtain: Seeing Clearly
Jesus evaluates churches differently than we do. While we focus on attendance, buildings, and programs, Christ examines the heart. In Revelation 2-3, Jesus assessed seven churches, revealing what truly matters to Him: maintaining first love for Christ, enduring faithfully under pressure, refusing...
-
Table Talk (E72): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week Two
Kaleb and David discuss week 2 of our series on Revelation.
-
Behind the Curtain: Seeing Clearly
In times of fear and uncertainty, we need reassurance that everything will be okay. The seven churches in Revelation faced intense persecution under Roman Emperor Domitian, who demanded worship or threatened death. In their darkest hour, they received the ultimate encouragement - a vision of the...
-
Table Talk (E71): Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation Week One
Many Christians fear the book of Revelation, but it's actually meant to encourage us with God's ultimate victory. Revelation combines three literary genres: apocalyptic literature that unveils spiritual reality, prophetic literature that speaks God's truth, and a letter format addressing real...
-
Behind the Curtain: A Study of Revelation
Revelation isn't a horror story but a message of hope written to seven churches facing persecution under the Roman Emperor worship. John uses symbolic language to reveal a cosmic battle between Team Dragon (Satan and empire powers) and Team Lamb (God, Jesus, and the church). The core message is...

Table Talk (E70): When Good Becomes God Week Five
