Ezekiel saw a future temple in stunning detail—yet it's never been built. With specific measurements, three entrances, and the glory of God entering from the east, this appears to be where Jesus will rule and reign forever. The millennial temple awaits its fulfillment.   https://cometolifebible.church/blog/2025/11/18/the-millennial-temple  

What if God has positioned us exactly where we are for a specific purpose? The book of Esther tells an incredible story of a young Jewish woman who became queen of Persia at precisely the right moment. When an evil advisor named Haman plotted to commit genocide against all the Jewish people, Esther's cousin Mordecai asked her a profound question: "Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for...

God sees every injustice and will judge rightly. But here's the beauty: no one is too far gone for His grace. Even the most wicked king repented and received mercy. The punishment we deserve was paid on the cross. We get to extend that same grace to others. #Grace #Redemption

The book of Nehemiah isn't just about rebuilding walls. It's about setting God's prophetic clock in motion. When Nehemiah asked King Artaxerxes for permission to rebuild Jerusalem's walls in 445 BC, he unknowingly started a countdown that Daniel had predicted nearly 100 years earlier. Do the math and those 483 prophetic years land exactly on Palm Sunday, the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as the ch...

Even when it looks like all the chips are down, when culture seems to be winning, when Christians face persecution, remember this truth: you're on the team that already defeated death. The enemy's strongest weapon has already been conquered. Jesus told His disciples on the way to Gethsemane that the world would hate them just as it hated Him. He didn't promise an easy path. He promised persecution...

Ever feel like you're doing everything right for God, but then one setback sends you spiraling into despair? You're not alone. This week we looked at Elijah – the prophet who just defeated 850 false prophets, called down fire from heaven, and watched an entire nation turn back to God. Epic victory, right? Then he gets one threatening letter from Queen Jezebel and runs for his life, hiding in a cav...

We often measure significance by size, beauty, or worldly standards. But heaven sees things completely differently. The rebuilt temple in Jerusalem looked shabby compared to Solomon's magnificent structure. The people who built it were disappointed, thinking they had failed God. Yet that "lesser" temple became the very place where Jesus walked, taught, and ultimately brought peace to all mankind....

Standing for truth isn't always safe, but it's always right. Like Elijah facing 450 false prophets alone, God calls us to confront corruption with courage. You're not isolated—God is with you. Embrace the holy, cut off the wicked, and persevere. Faith requires risk.   #Faith #Courage #Elijah #Sermon

The prophet Ezekiel gives us one of the most fascinating glimpses into the future of Israel and God's protective power. After centuries of exile, Israel is regathered, the land becomes fruitful again, and the nation dwells in peace and prosperity. But then comes an unexpected attack. A leader called Gog gathers a coalition of nations—potentially including modern-day Turkey, Iran, Libya, Ethiopia o...

October 31st. A date wrapped in controversy, celebration, and Christian history. Every year the questions come flooding in about Halloween, and every year the answers remain the same: it's complicated, but it doesn't have to divide us. Here's what most people don't know: the earliest documented origins of Halloween come from the church, not from paganism. All Hallows Eve, the night before All Sain...

When life doesn't make sense and you're at the end of your rope—that might be exactly where God needs you. Elijah's story reminds us that God doesn't have to meet us on our terms or where we feel comfortable. He sent his prophet out of hiding, across dangerous territory, to the homeland of his enemies, to be sustained by a starving widow with only enough food for one last meal. It made no sense. B...

The promises of God are unshakeable—not because of who we are, but because of who He is. In Ezekiel 35-37, we see something remarkable: God promises to restore Israel not because they deserved it, but because His name is holy and His word is sure. When the nations mocked God's people and claimed their land, when Israel had profaned God's name through their disobedience, God still said, "I will bri...

Are you good soil or stony ground? 🌱 In today's message, we explored Jesus' parable of the sower. It's not just about hearing God's word, but truly understanding and living it.  Ask yourself: • Are you letting the worries of this world choke out your faith? • Have you grown roots deep enough to withstand life's storms? • Are you more concerned with fitting in or standing firm in your beliefs? Rem...

Just because we're standing tall doesn't mean our foundation is solid.  In today's sermon, we explored how easy it is to forget the moral principles that built our society. Like King Ahab in ancient Israel, we can become blind to the decay underneath our apparent success. God raises up prophets - and now the Church - to remind us of our true foundation. When we compromise with the world instead of...

The Good Shepherd is coming! 🐑✝️ In Ezekiel 33-34, we see God's heart for His people Israel. Though they've been scattered and led astray by false shepherds, He promises to gather them Himself one day. Key takeaways: • God calls us to be watchmen, warning others of coming judgment • Our past righteousness doesn't save us - only turning to God does • Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of the Good S...

From chaos to Christ: God's unbreakable promise 👑 In the tumultuous history of Israel's divided kingdoms, we see God's incredible faithfulness. Even when it came down to one baby - Joash - hidden away to preserve David's royal line, God kept His promise. Through good kings and bad, civil wars and captivity, God was working towards something greater: the coming of Jesus, our true King and Messiah....

"If you are unwilling to forgive others for what they have done to you, you severely underestimate the amount of forgiveness God has done for you."  The cross reminds us of the immeasurable debt Christ paid on our behalf. How can we withhold forgiveness from others when we've been forgiven so much? Forgiveness isn't about deserving it - it's about reflecting the heart of God. It doesn't mean forge...

The Pride of Egypt Falls 🏛️⚔️ 'For thus says the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.' - Ezekiel 32:11 Even the mightiest empires crumble when they exalt themselves above God. Egypt's glory couldn't save it from judgment.  Key takeaways: • Pride goes before destruction  • God is in control, not earthly powers • We must humble ourselves before the Lord Choose today: Will...

We look in 2nd Samuel at the ways David's life has parallels to and foreshadows Christ, and how God keeps his Promises.

Faith isn't about your abilities - it's about your obedience. In Hebrews 11, we see how ordinary people accomplished extraordinary things simply by trusting God and stepping out in faith. Noah built an ark. Abraham left his home. Moses confronted Pharaoh. None of them felt qualified, but they obeyed anyway. God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called.  What is He calling you to do today? T...

God's Word Stands the Test of Time 📖⏳ The prophecy of Tyre's destruction in Ezekiel 26-28 shows the incredible accuracy of biblical prophecy. Centuries before it happened, God foretold how the city would be scraped bare and cast into the sea. History confirms every detail! Key takeaways: • God's foreknowledge is perfect • Pride comes before destruction • God will judge nations that oppose His pe...

Who's at the center of your life? 🎯 Paul's radical transformation shows us how to prioritize our relationships: • God at the center ❤️ • Surround yourself with wise influences 🤝 • Care for those far from God, without compromise 🙏 • Be a light to the watching world 🌎 'Walk with the wise and become wiser, but a companion of fools suffers harm.' - Proverbs 13:20 Your circle of relationships shape...

Now You See: It's not about WHERE you're going, it's about WHO you're with. Jesus isn't just a self-help guide or a philosophy - He's a PERSON who wants a relationship with YOU.  Don't let your faith become just a checklist. Get to know God personally: • Read His Word as a conversation, not a textbook • Spend dedicated time with Him  • Let knowing Him change how you think, feel, and act Remember:...

After the cross, we're called to change. 🙏 Jesus offers us living water, healing, and new life - but He doesn't leave us as we are. When we encounter Christ, we're challenged to: • Let go of our old ways • Confront our sins and struggles • Walk in the light of His forgiveness • Share our testimony with others "Go and sin no more." - Jesus Your past is paid for. It's time to live differently. #Tra...

Even in our darkest moments, God remains faithful.  In Ezekiel 24-25, we see God's judgment on Israel and surrounding nations. It's a sobering reminder that sin has consequences. Yet even as He disciplines, God's ultimate goal is purification and restoration. Ezekiel's personal loss mirrors Israel's coming devastation. But through it all, Ezekiel's devotion to God never wavers. His example challen...
