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.

Numbers 23 & 24 - Living in the Last Days - Our Confidence

Balak the king of Moab calls for a seer named Balaam to curse the nation of Israel who is camped in front of the Promised Land. Balaam refuses to curse whom God has blessed and instead speaks oracles that allows us to come to know and believe things that give us confidence as we living the last days. We have confidence because of the character of God, the King who has come and the victory that he has won!

Genesis 49 - Living in the Last Days - Our Hope

The "Last Days" is first spoken of in the book of Genesis and points to a time where a king from the line of Judah will interrupt the curse of sin and death and bring hope, salvation, and blessing. Our hope in the last day rests on Jesus who came to pay the penalty for our sins and offer forgiveness and grace to all who submit to his authority. This powerful Hebrew prophetic poem gives us a picture of the coming king that is fulfilled in Jesus!

Genesis 2:1-3 - Are we there yet? (Mike Miller)

One of Hollyview's elders Mike Miller looks at the seventh day of creation as it is set apart from the rest of creation. The beginning of the rest from God begins on day seven but hasn't ended. That rest is offered to us today!

Galations 5 - Christ has set us free (Craig Johnson)

One of Hollyview's elders leads us through this rich passage of scripture to highlight that in Christ we are free from law of sin and death and free to live for Christ and His glory. Works of the law will never satisfy and make us whole like the gift of Jesus can.
