Hollyview Church message from December 29, 2024, from speaker Peter Law on Missions.

Hollyview Church message from December 22nd, 2024, continuing our study in the book of Isaiah "The Beginning of the Gospel", with speaker Joby Crover teaching out of Isaiah chapters 11 and 12.

Hollyview Church Sunday message from December 8, 2024 with guest speaker Tom West, continuing our series in Isaiah "The Beginning of the Gospel", teaching from Isaiah 10 with the message "Axes and Saws".

There is hope in the darkness because the light has come. This beautiful, powerful text of Isaiah 9 is often mentioned around the Christmas time. The depth of the fulfillment of Scripture through the coming of the Messiah as the great king who will rule in the fear of the LORD and establish his kingdom forever comes into sharp focus through this Hebrew poem. It draws our focus to the child born, G...

This special sermon takes a break from our series in Isaiah to meditate on the faithfulness of the LORD in our lives. Ryan Glover shares some of the faithfulness of the Lord in his life and how we see the rich blessing from understanding God's work in the lives of those who have gone before us through the lens of Hebrews 11.

Isaiah 8 is another prophetic word given to Isaiah that involves the naming of a son that is yet to be born to him. This hope is a sign that with the Lord there will be victory. Unfortunately, the people refuse the gentle waters offered by the Lord for Rivers of power, knowledge, fear, and distress instead.

Joby gives us some rich historical background to the people and places mentioned in this chapter. No matter what we are facing we have the hope that God will be with us too.

In this chapter we are invited into the throne room of God where our eyes will be opened to see a glimpse of the glory of the Lord. Before the throne of the Lord of hosts there is power to forgive sins and set people free as well as the power to commission believers to be a living witnesses of the power and grace of God to make disciples of Jesus.

Dan Abbott brings a message of hope through judgement in Isaiah chapter 5. Filled with six "woes" of rooted sin in the life of the Israelites bringing darkness upon the land but ending with the hope of the light of the messiah to come!

This message on Isaiah 4:2-6 brings the hope and treasures believers can anticipate on “that day” when God’s promises are fulfilled. In the midst of the darkness and storms, believers can hold on to the treasures we joyfully anticipate for good through Jesus!

This message on Isaiah 3 explores the themes of loss and transformation, emphasizing how God sometimes removes our supports—like leaders and possessions—to prepare us for something greater.

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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...

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 pictur...

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!

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.
