Incarnation Tallahassee

Written by Rev. Jon Hall while meditating on the incredible promise of Isaiah 25, that “God will swallow up death forever.”

The beloved story of the lions’ den reveals the common pattern that the devil sets traps, fools fall into them, and God rescues us out of them. Rev.

Belshazzar, the son of Nebuchadnezzar, makes a mockery of God by throwing a debaucherous party in praise to pagan gods while drinking wine from vessels from the temple in Jerusalem. A hand appears and writes on the wall, and Daniel is the only one who can interpret it. The meaning of the writing: the kingdom will fall because of the pride of Belshazzar. He should have known better after seeing the...

God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Both truths were proven true in the life of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Rev. Jon Hall | June 16, 2024 ----------------------------------------------- We're Incarnation Tallahassee! Visit our website! www.incarnationtallahassee.org/

As Pastor Tim Keller said, King Nebuchadnezzar tries to be more than a man, so he becomes less than a man. He tries to be like God, so he becomes like and animal. But when Nebuchadnezzar looks up to heaven and repents, he is restored. In this children’s sermon, we focus on how the posture of our bodies affects the posture of our hearts. Kneeling in church can train our hearts to be humble if we le...

This week in Daniel 3, we wrestled with what it mean to be faithful by analyzing the interaction between Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego with King Nebuchadnezzar, and how they chose death rather than bow before the King’s idol. Their faithfulness in the time of testing is a challenge to us: to be faithful in the everyday things to Jesus so that we can stand firm with him through anything. Jeremiah...

Daniel is fluent in the language and culture of Babylon and the Scriptures and ways of God. This makes Daniel a faithful and accurate interpreter. Just as Daniel has allowed the God of the Bible to interpret his own life, Daniel can then faithfully speak truth to the King Nebuchadnezzar and declare to him that despite human limitations, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.

This story about Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel reminds us that God knows things that people can’t know.

Daniel was a young man whose life was radically interrupted in his teens. Despite his radical wrong-turn he stayed faithful to God and lit a fire in Babylon. Rev.

The day of Pentecost is when we commemorate the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, and how he equips us with the power of God and makes us more like Jesus. What are some ways you need to power of God to be made manifest in your life, and how is Jesus inviting you into deeper dependence upon the change the Spirit brings?

Why does Jesus’ ascension to heaven matter? Jesus is exalted in the ascension, but his path to exaltation took him through utter humiliation and death. What do we learn about Jesus as he goes up into heaven, and what does it mean for us? Rev. Peter Lebhar | May 12, 2024 ----------------------------------------------- We're Incarnation Tallahassee!

Toward the end of Jesus‘ ministry on earth, Peter gets distracted by comparing himself to people around him. Jesus‘ response is something we all need to hear: “What is that to you? You, follow me!” Dr. Sarah Hall | April 28, 2024 ----------------------------------------------- We're Incarnation Tallahassee!

After the events of the resurrection, the disciples go back to their jobs as fisherman. They expected another day's labor but instead got an encounter with the Risen Lord. Just as the Lord waited patiently to bless the disciples' fruitless night of fishing with an abundant catch, he also waits to bless our own individual vocations if we just listen and follow him in obedience. Rev. David Alford |...

In John 21, Jesus shows us that no matter how old we are or how grown-up we may feel, all believers are God’s children. That means our heavenly Father is watching over each one of us.

Resurrection peace is for those who are afraid, like the disciples. Resurrection peace is for those who were absent and struggling with belief, like Thomas. Jesus call us out of the season of Lent, and into the season of Easter. His resurrected body is the peace our souls need to believe with confidence that God is with us and for us. The peace of the resurrection allows our fearful hearts to sing...

Jesus is the first fruits of the resurrection! If we want to know what our bodies will be like when we rise from the dead, we look at Jesus after he rose from the dead. That brings us hope! Rev.
