Clash of Kingdoms | A City on a Hill

The message of Christ was that the Kingdom of God is at hand!  He says this 50 times just in Matthew, and his sermon on the mount was an overview of what this means.  This is meant to be a great hope to us and the world around us.

Clash of Kingdoms | Beatitudes

This is not a list of ways to live but a list of those who have been rejected by the powerful, the castoffs, the rejects.  These are the people Jesus calls into the Kingdom of God.

Easter | On The Third Day

The third day is significant all through scripture.  New life begins on the third day.

Minor Notes | Malachi

Worship is not giving God the leftovers, it is a lifestyle that God takes very seriously.

Minor Notes | Zechariah

Zechariah is the last prophet recorded before Christ and his book is filled with prophetic visions, instruction, and foretellings that span Israel's history and our own.  

Minor Notes | Hagaii

When Judah returned from 70 years of exile they still ended up having the same problems they always had, putting themselves before God.  Hagaii reminds them that they must change if they want to break the cycle.

Minor Notes | Habakkuk

If God is good, why is there evil in the world?

Minor Notes | Zephania

When the leaders are doing following God but the people are not, God still notices.  There can't be justice without judgement.

Minor Notes | Nahum

God doesn't take sides; He is a side.

Minor Notes | Micah

Micah speaks to our natural tendency to try to "do better" once we're caught doing wrong.  It's not about doing more, it's about returning to a faithful, obedient way of living.
