Advent 2025 The God Bearer

Advent 2025 The God Bearer
 We live in an age where nothing is sacred, especially anything religious. o keep the sacred at the center of our lives is a heroic act of defiance. It is an act of rebellion. 
 During Advent we await the arrival of the Messiah of whom the Hebrew prophets spoke. During Advent we allow the messianic poems and stories to seep deeply into our souls.
Today as we begin, let us stand with Mary as she hears the great greeting from the angel Gabriel.

The Prophet Amos Part 15 A Plumb Line

The Prophet Amos Part 15 A Plumb Line 
Amos 7:7-9
 The prophet saw the Lord standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand. The intention of the Lord is that this discriminating plumb line should come right into the midst of His people. People who are brought near to God cannot avoid being tested and judged. Never again will the Lord turn the "blind eye" of patient forgiveness. The plumb line is to be set up in the midst and only those who live by its standards can reckon themselves as God's people.

Exorcist in the Synagogue

Exorcist in the Synagogue
In this thought-provoking Bible teaching, we take an in-depth look at Mark 1:21-28, a powerful account that reveals the authority of Jesus as He enters a synagogue in Capernaum.  As He teaches, His words resonate with a depth and power that astounds the listeners, setting Him apart from the religious leaders of the time.  The story takes a dramatic turn when Jesus confronts an unclean spirit, showcasing not only His authority over evil but also His compassion for those who are oppressed.  This passage invites us to imagine ourselves as part of the congregation that day - what would it have been like to witness such a profound display of authority?  How would we react to both the teaching and the miraculous deliverance that follows?  We will explore the cultural context of the synagogue, the significance of Jesus' and how this moment catalyzes His burgeoning fame throughout the region.  Together, we'll reflect on the implications for our own lives - how do we respond to Jesus' voice in our current circumstances?  Are we open to transformation, or do we resist change amidst spiritual challenges?  Join us for this enlightening journey as we unpack the layers of this remarkable narrative, considering how it resonates with our faith today and inspires us to seek the true authority of Jesus in our lives.

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.
