This sermon explores Zechariah 4:6, a powerful reminder that echoes through the ages: "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty." The sermon challenges us to examine where we're relying on our own strength instead of depending on God's Spirit. Just as the Israelites couldn't rebuild the temple through human effort alone, we cannot restore our lives, relationships, or souls without the transforming work of God's Spirit. Zechariah's message points us forward to the ultimate solution to our powerlessness—Jesus Christ, who accomplished what we could never do for ourselves.

Are you too busy building your own life to build what God called you to build? God's message is simple: Consider your ways. Put Him first. Don't wait for "the right time"—life never slows down. When God is present, ordinary people do extraordinary things.

God promises perfect peace for those whose eyes are stayed upon Him. When the world is in a state of conflict, as we are today, we need perfect peace.

It is so easy for us to give up on our prayers. Jesus calls this "losing heart." In Luke 18:1, Jesus tells us to pray and not lose heart. Don't give up. Be persistent in our prayers. God does not get annoyed with us. In fact, he delights in our prayers and dependence upon Him.

This message from the “Messengers” series explores the book of Amos, where God confronts a nation that looks blessed but is spiritually broken. Despite Israel’s prosperity and busy worship life, their injustice, greed, and complacency reveal empty religion. Through Amos, God warns that you cannot truly love Him while mistreating others, and He rejects worship that doesn’t flow into everyday obedience. Yet every warning is also an invitation: to “seek the Lord and live,” finding true restoration and hope ultimately fulfilled in Jesus.

While we are closed for services due to weather, worship with us again with this REBROADCAST of a Live service from our past. Divine Interruptions of Broken People was originally broadcast on October 29, 2023.

Due to inclement weather we are not gathering for services this morning. Enjoy a rebroadcast of a recent LIVE service and come and join us back next week at 10am LIVE.

Week 2 in our Messenger series focuses on the truth that God is the sovereign Judge and Savior of the universe.  Our proper response to God’s judgment is repentance, which is a means to the restoring and healing power of God.

In Week One of our Messenger series in the book of Hosea we discover the main point of the text is God's persistent love for His faithless Wife, Israel.  Through a unique calling of God on Hosea we see a true husband longs for his faithless wife to return home, and as such, God longs to receive His people back to Him, if only they would be faithful.
