Isaiah 2 - Come Let Us Go Up!

The message of Isaiah 2 is a divine invitation to choose light over darkness, to come out of hiding, and to walk in communion with God. It calls for repentance, encouraging a turn from the empty pursuits of this world toward a fulfilling relationship with the Creator.

Isaiah 1 - The Beginning of the Gospel

This introductory message to the book of Isaiah considers the historical context and the use of quotes from Isaiah specifically in the book of Mark. Isaiah watches decades of God using the Assyrian army to bring judgement on the rebellious people of God. Like a slow motion train wreck, Isaiah speaks of the impending destruction but offers signs of hope in the Lord for the future!

Jonah 4 - Jonah's Hot Anger

In response to the mercy and grace of the Lord to the people of Nineveh Jonah burns with anger! The Lord walks with Jonah to offer to turn him from his anger to experience a moment of joy in the covering of the Lord to experience compassion. Who is your person of Nineveh? 

Jonah 3 - Let Us Pursue the Empty Throne (Paul Fredrick)

Jonah chapter 3 sees the unlikely repentance of the people of Nineveh, even their animals! Everyone seems to turn in the book of Jonah, except for the prophet himself! Paul leads us through the message to stitch the story of Jonah into the broader Biblical narrative and see our continual need to come under the rule of Jesus!

Jonah 2 - Salvation belongs to the Lord

We consider the prayer that Jonah cries to the Lord from the belly of the fish. As he quotes from Psalms it appears that Jonah has turned a new leaf but has he? We consider 4 signs that things are often worse than they appear. With the backdrop of a messed up prophet, we then consider 4 signs that the Lord is always great than you can imagine!

Jonah 1 - The Presence of God

We meet Jonah the prophet of God fleeing from the presence of the Lord. He goes down to Joppa, down to a ship, and then down in the ship. He has to be woken from his sleep as he can't hear or see the movement of God as he hurled a tempest on the ocean. There is no where you can run from the presence of God, either a comforting or terrifying thought.

Jonah 1:1 - An Introduction to the book of Jonah (Ethan Zimmerman)

Ethan Zimmerman introduces the book of Jonah and helps us see how the threads of scripture stitch this famous story into the broader quilt of Scripture.

1 Peter 4 - The End of Man (Tom West)

The question from the Westminster Catechism asks "What is the chief end of man". The answer back is "the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever!" Tom guides us through a series of scriptures that help us to understand the privilege that we have to be able to glorify God and a picture of what that might look like to do in our daily lives. 

Joshua 4 - Setting Up Stones (Tom West)

The Lord encourages us to remember so that we don't forget! We are prone to forget the goodness of God in our lives so we are encouraged to set up stones like the people in Joshua's day as a reminder of the greatness of God.

Deuteronomoy 32 - Livig in the Last Days - Our Song

Moses teaches the people a song from the Lord as they are about to enter the Promised Land. This song is meant to help them remember the Lord's faithfulness, our forgetfulness and the hope we have in the last days.
