The Prophet Amos Part 14 The Sovereign Yahweh

The Prophet Amos Part 14 The Sovereign Yahweh
As the prophet Amos brings his hearers into the darkest valley of his prophecy and speaks, all falling in ruins around them and upon them, Amos points them upward to a God who is as sovereign to save as to judge. He points to their own status and position as the people of that God. This is their peril as well as their privilege.

But What Do You Think?

But What Do You Think?

In this engaging teaching from Mathew 16, we delve into the transformative moment when Jesus poses the question to His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?"  This pivotal inquiry invites us to explore whether it's merely an intellectual exercise or a profound personal reflection.  Is it a question of creed, seeking doctrinal affirmation, or a deeper call to confront our lived experiences with Christ?  Join us as we unpack the layers of this question and challenge ourselves to move beyond historical and theological answers, encouraging a personal encounter with Jesus that shapes our faith.  How have you experienced Him in your life?  Discover how this moment can lead to a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and what that means for each of us today.

The Widowed Prophet

The Widowed Prophet
 In this thought-provoking Bible teaching, we delve into the story of the widow who offered her last two coins to the temple treasury (Mark 12:41-44).  While this is poignant act is often interpreted as a call for sacrificial giving, a deeper, prophetic message lies beneath the surface.  This teaching invites us to explore the significance of her offering not merely as a monetary contribution, but as a profound testament to faith, trust, and the fullness of life that God values.  We examine how her act reflects a heart posture of surrender and dependence on God rather than a mere financial obligation.  By understanding the widow's gift as a symbol of radical faithfulness, we uncover a broader narrative about the true nature of generosity, the kingdom of God, and our relationship with what we hold dear.  Join us as we seek to find inspiration in this small yet mighty story that extends beyond currency into the realm of spiritual richness and divine purpose.

The Prophet Amos Part 13 Enemy of the People

The Prophet Amos Part 13 Enemy of the People
Amos 6:1-14
These people were sincere in their seeking of God at the shrines, but it was a sincerity out of step with the truth about God. It was sincere belief in a god of their own devising.

In a Nutshell

In a Nutshell
 John 3:1-17
Everybody knows it. We learned that it is a simple formula for faith, a handy evangelism tool, and a perfect summary of the good news. Christianity in a nutshell, right? In our well-intention efforts to make the gospel message accessible, we have reduced salvation to a soundbite.

A House Divided

A House Divided
Mark 3:20-35
 This is a gospel story that hurts. It raises questions that I don't have the answer to. Jesus divides the house and division hurts. But he doesn't divide to make us homeless, he divides to rebuild, to make the house more spacious, more welcoming, more beautiful.

The Prophet Amos Part 12 Religion in a Box

The Prophet Amos Part 12 Religion in a Box
 What has Amos been teaching so far? Has he been saying "saved today, lost tomorrow?". It looks that way. He has made it clear they are the redeemed of God, but he has come to the point where he has held over their heads the prospect of unrelieved sorrow, inescapable sentence of death, and the darkness of hopelessness in the day of the Lord. 
But to whom is Amos speaking? Is he speaking a word to us today?
