2 Kings 6:24-7:20 Observations from this passage: When crisis hits, bad reactions include blaming, lashing out, and disbelieving God. The Lord can plunder the enemy’s camp to supply the needs of his people. The Lord typically delivers not by might or power, but by the things that are not. Deliverance is good news but evangelists need to proclaim it. The word of the Lord is certain, reliable, and i...

2 Kings 6:1-23 Two stories- the ax head recovered from the Jordan river & Elisha's servant being able to see the supernatural horses and chariots of fire all around when it seemed like they were about to be taken by the Syrians. What is God meaning to teach His people about Himself? Ours is a God who recovers ax heads, guards faithful heads, and spares enemy's heads. Ours is a God who hears, i...

2 Kings 5 :15-24 Two hearts seen in this passage: Naaman's Heart: • softening • humble • pure • generous • sincere Gehazis' Heart: • hardening • proud • impure • greedy • deceptive Two Dangers seen in this passage: When someone seeks personal gain from God's work, they rob from God. When someone pursues worldly things in worldly ways, they get the world's uncleanliness with it.

2 Kings 5: 1-14 The story of Naaman being healed of Leprosy Three Ways God is Working: We witness God working in ways that seem mysterious. We witness God working through and for the humble. We witness God working in ways that contravene preset expectations. If we are God's children we can know that God always works for our good.

2 Kings 4:8-37 Elisha and the Sunammite Woman Reflections from this passage: The Lord is a giver of good gifts (v. 8-17) Sometimes the Lord's good gifts bring both gladness and sadness (v. 18-21) We should run and cling to God's man in time of trial and refuse to leave Him (v 22-27) Even God's mightiest and most faithful servants are still limited in knowledge and power (v. 27 & 31) Even the c...

2 Kings 4:1-7 Observations from this passage: Sometimes we serve God faithfully and sacrificially, and great trials STILL befall us. God is as concerned with small-scale affairs as he is with massive ones. Sometimes seeing the Lord's provision requires us to step out and work in faith. God will often meet an immediate need even while preparing us for what's ahead. There's a redeemer at work on beh...

2 Kings 3:1-27 3 Reminders from this passage: Remember to seek the Lord in whatever you do BEFORE pushing forward. Remember that were it not for his regard for David's heir, the Lord would not look upon us. Remember that great wrath cam not against us, but against another son offered in our place.

2 Kings 2:1-25 Four things we learn from this passage: The Lord's power is not confined to a particular time or age. The Lord's power is not limited to any particular person. The Lord can do a new work in the cursed mess of our lived. The Lord can establish and protect work even in the very heart of rebellion.

2 Kings 1:1-18 Takeaways from this passage: God is jealous for his people's love and loyalty - and He will interrupt idolatry. The enemies of God will try to manhandle his Word. God guards his Word - and those faithful to it. Humbling ourselves before His Word paves the way for mercy.

Jude, verses 11-16 Takeaways from this passage: Beware of the way of Cain (where God's commands are clearly understood bu you give into sin anyway). 2.Beware of Balaam's error (where people show favor to gain advantage). Beware of Korah's rebellion (where God's ways are forced to fit our ways). Beware of hidden reefs and self-feeders (where teaching and promises of life bring only wandering and de...

Jude verses 5-10 Things we learn from this passage: We must persist in believing. We must fight for purity and stay within God's proper boundaries - especially moral boundaries. We must be cautious about personal revelations (always testing them against Scripture.) We must submit to authority and revere God's Word.

Pastor Jason continues his "one book series" with the start of the book of Jude, Verses 1-4 Four Timeless Realities: Jesus is our sovereign Lord and we are His servants We are called, loved, and kept as his people. We have a faith that was once for all delivered to us- and we need to fight for it! The church is susceptible to creepers - to being crept in on unnoticed.

Romans 13:1-7 Pastor Jason takes a break from our John series to do a message on Christians and how we relate biblically to our government and elected officials.

1 Corinthians 13:8-13 In this final section of 1 Corinthians 13, Paul highlights the superiority of love.

We root in Jesus by rooting ourselves in his written words.
