1 Corinthians 2 - The Difference Maker - Micah Routon The Spirit takes what belongs to God and makes it known to the people of God. He opens our eyes to realities we could never see on our own. He gives us understanding that doesn’t come from intelligence, education, or life experience—but from God Himself. And without the Holy Spirit, even the clearest truth will sound like foolishness.

Ezekiel 33:1-20 - Be Watchful - Jason Arsenault Much like Ezekiel, you and I, though we didn't apply for the job, we are watchman. We must watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.

1 Corinthians 1:19-31 - The Numbers Game The world measures strength and intelligence on a very different scale than God does. The world runs on stats and numbers. From physical strength to IQ, from influence to accomplishment, numbers are used to determine worth. But God has never played the numbers game. From Abraham the wanderer, to Gideon’s army of 300, to David and his battle cry, to Christ o...

Ezekiel 31-32 - The Lord Brings Down to the Grave and Brings Up - Jason Arsenault Since the beginning of time the Lord has demonstrated His power over life and death. As the Lord brought down the great power of Assyria to the grave, so He will bring down Egypt and any other people, nation, or individual that exalts themselves against Him. In this knowledge there is great terror and there is also g...

1 Corinthians 1:10-18 - Who Are You Following? - Micah Routon Paul’s concern wasn’t about growing a following. He didn’t care if people tried to stone him or thought he was a fool. What he cared about was that the message of the cross was proclaimed; that people would come to know the power of God to save through the message of the gospel. That’s why he always pointed people back to Jesus.

1 Corinthians 1:1-9 - God is Faithful - Jason Arsenault The church in Corinth is a church with questions, doubts, conflicts, insecurities, errors, and commitment issues. But they are a church God was wholly committed to; a church, not unlike every church in every age in ever place — a church that can and must rely on the faithfulness of God.

Romans 16 - Gathered Around a Manger - Micah Routon How Paul chose to close out his letter to the Roman church is but one more example of how he was bringing different people together; Jews and Gentiles, the believers in Rome with the believers there in Corinth where he was writing from.  But they weren’t brought together because of Paul’s charisma or his personality.  They were brought togetherbe...

Ezekiel 29-30 - The Earth is the Lord's - Jason Arsenault The Pharaoh thought everything was his, that he had even created the Nile, and that he was the sustaining force of life. He and all of Egypt are going to learn the hard way that that is definitely not the case.

Romans 15:14-33 - Called for a Reason - Micah Routon God has a mission and a purpose for each one of us and that’s going to be different and unique as each one of us is different and unique.  When we are following His vision for our lives, when we know we are following His calling on our lives, we can feel confident, we can be courageous, we have clarity and conviction.

Ezekiel 27-28 - Do Not Love the World - Jason Arsenault In the lamentation for the judgment against Tyre we see that this city is the epitome of all that is in the world and what are the disastrous results of loving it.

Romans 15:8-14 - Do You Not Perceive? - Micah Routon The Lord was doing a work in the church in Rome, and He's still working in the church today. The question is, are we willing to perceive what He's doing?

Ezekiel 25-6 - It is a Righteous Thing with God to Repay - Jason Arsenault A true and lasting rest is coming for those who have put their faith in Jesus. But for the enemies of the cross of Christ, if they continue to refuse the only means be which their sins can be washed away, there is only everlasting destruction away from the presence of the Lord.

Romans 14:13-15:7 - Being Built Together - Jason Arsenault Together we are God's building, and He's not done with its construction. He wants each of us to be actively participating in the work with Him, not tearing each other down, not destroying His work, but building one another up.

Romans 14:1-12 - I Am My Beloved's - Jason Arsenault God's fierce and overwhelming love for us must shape the way we interact with one another, each of us being individually and yet collectively one with Him as Christ's beautiful bride.

Ezekiel 24 - Prophecy Fulfilled - Mike Wicksted Prophesy becomes reality as the Babylonian siege begins.

Romans 8:8-14 - Christian Economics - Micah Routon Love is foundational to the Christian economy. And just as in financially economy, we do not produce the bills that we spend, so in the Christian economy, we do not produce the love that is needed. The love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Ezekiel 23 - Alienated by Sin, Brought Near by the Blood - Jason Arsenault Like the people of Israel to whom Ezekiel is sent, our sin has also alienated us from God. But now we are brought near. And having been brought near by the blood of Christ, we are called to walk worthy of the calling to which we have been called. We are called to be doers of the word, and not hearers only. To cling to Him....

Romans 13:1-7 - Elbows Up - Micah Routon With the political pendulum swinging ever higher and higher, in the midst of all the shouting, with all the chaos and political upheaval, how the Christian ought to live in this world and interact with world leaders is largely summarized in the question: is God still in control?

Ezekiel 22 — Remember Who He Is - Jason Arsenault The Lord has spoken mightily through Ezekiel in many different ways. Through intense and vivid visions, through prophecies acted out, through direct rebuke, through parables and laments. All this for a people that the Lord knew had “estranged themselves” having “set up their idols in their hearts”. They have forgotten God. Their behavior proves it.

Romans 12:10-21 - Unnatural - Micah Routon Paul writes about patterns of behavior that would have seemed unnatural to the Roman Christians. Whenever we start something healthy, there’s going to be resistance. But as we continue, eventually these things become more natural as we are being made more and more into the image of our Lord.

Ezekiel 20:33-21:32 - He is Mighty, He is Faithful - Jason Arsenault The Lord's might is on display in His judgment and in His faithfulness. For His power and His strength are evident not only in His mighty acts (all the amazing things that He does that no one else can do), but also in His unwavering character and purposes—His faithfulness that reaches to the clouds.

Romans 12:1-11 - Common Ground - Micah Routon The Apostle Paul calls believers to overcome division—whether overt or hidden—by humbly offering themselves as living sacrifices to God, allowing their minds to be renewed and transformed by His truth. In a church divided between Jews and Gentiles, Paul emphasizes that unity is found not in uniformity, but in mutual service, humility, and love. Each be...

Ezekiel 19-20:32 - He is a Patient God - Jason Arsenault The Lord's patience continues to be seen in His dealings with His people. We see His sorrow for their turning away and His promise that if they continue in the pattern of idolatry that they have followed since their beginning, He will bring to pass all that He had spoken through Moses and the prophets.

Romans 11 - From Perplexed to Praise - Micah Routon We often find ourselves frustrated by circumstances we don’t understand, but God is always working—building spiritual muscle memory, shaping us through seasons that may feel pointless or painful. Paul reassures both Jewish and Gentile believers that God’s promises are irrevocable, His plans are perfect, and His timing is intentional. Even when we...
