The last four verses of Daniel 9 are some of the most difficult.  Even with the difficulty, we cannot let the reality distract us from the big picture that is clear and plain to see. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shows us the response to Daniel's prayer for his people.

Daniel 9:1-19 contains one of the most remarkable prayers in the whole Bible. It runs on a dual track of corporate confession of sin and recognition of the greatness, awesomeness, righteousness, and holiness of God has experienced by his character. It is a model prayer for how God people should pray for a nation. But even more, it is a model of how God's people should pray for a desolate and r...

Dads seem to give a fair amount of advice, but do we take it well?  Do we listen when someone tells us what to do or how to do it?  Why are we so unteachable? Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shows a time when Jesus gave some advice to a group of men.

Not only does Daniel receive another vision, but this time God sends His chief messenger Gabriel with the interpretation. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas helps understand the visions that keep coming to Daniel.

Daniel 7 has been called “the most comprehensive and detailed prophecy of future events to be found anywhere in the Old Testament.” Instead of continuing in chronological order, we go backwards in time to a series of visions that Daniel had. Visions that show that God is indeed sovereign. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas gives us panoramic preview of coming attraction from the time of Daniel until that...

Daniel 6 is one of the best-known chapters in the Bible.  We have heard it in Sunday school, at Vacation Bible School, in sermons, and there is even a Veggie Tales episode.  It provokes our imagination.  Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shows how God glorify himself among the nations by rescuing one of his children who trusted him no matter what.

We have to remember that Daniel was not written to give us a history lesson about Babylonians, Medes, and Persians.  It was written to encourage the Hebrew people, God’s people, that though they had been defeated and exiled, God was sovereignly in control, and they should trust him even when they could not trace his hand. He is working out his plans and accomplishing his purposes, and every now th...

Abraham Lincoln once said: "Behind every great man, is a great mother!" I want to introduce you to a mother that is often forgotten in Scripture. Most of us have never heard of her. We know of Mary, Elizabeth, Rachel, Rebekah, Hannah, Ruth, and Naomi; however, our text gives us another mother worthy of our examination. Her name is Rizpah. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shows us a mother of e...

C. S. Lewis calls it “the great sin” and with good reason. It is the sin that led to the fall of Satan. It is the sin that led to the fall of humanity and drove Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden. God hates pride because it challenges his sovereignty and questions his will. It claims a position and power for mere mortals that rightly belongs only to “the King of the heavens” ( v 37 ) Join us a...

Today's message is in honor of the graduation Class of 2024, but it is also a message for all believers. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us what is needed as we prepare for the next chapter.

In Philippians 1:21 Paul writes, “For to me, to live  is  Christ, and to die  is  gain.” John Piper calls this the ultimate win-win scenario.  “If I live, I get Christ. If I die, I get more of Christ! Either way I win!”  I believe this is the mindset of 3 young Hebrew’s by the names of Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.  We know these men, taken captive to Babylon in 605 BC by their popular names: Sh...

Man with his ambitions, ego, and idolatries, is often impressed by what he can build. God, on the other hand, is not dazzled by man’s accomplishments. Only one kingdom “will never be destroyed.” According to Daniel 2:44, it is the kingdom “the God of the heaven will set up,” the kingdom God revealed in dreams to a pagan king named Nebuchadnezzar, dreams that only his servants Daniel could interpre...

When we find our feet forcibly planted in the soil of an anti-God, anti-Christian culture, it is absolutely imperative that our hearts be drawn to heaven and our minds be immersed in the Word of God. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares how God rules and overrules.

The story of the empty tomb in John’s gospel is one of re-creation with hints back to Genesis and John 1. The Risen Christ sees Mary just as she is and loves her. The Risen Jesus sees all of us, too, just as we are and offers to re-create us with resurrection life. This is the fulfillment of God saving the world through his Son and not condemning the world. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with u...

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey knowing full well he would trigger the religious and political authorities. Jesus’ mission required him to demonstrate incredible courage regardless of the reactions of others. He is Lord, the absolute authority over all things. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas ask the question, Does Jesus have all authority over you, too?

The story of Lazarus teaches us that God seldom meets our expectations but instead fulfills our greatest hopes. His timing is not our timing nor are His ways our ways. But He is faithful always, He is worthy to be praised, and He is a safe place for us to put all our hope. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us our greatest hope.

Jesus heals a blind man starting him on a journey of discovery that will last for eternity. The Pharisees show themselves to be the blind ones, as they were well-versed in their scriptures and their laws but they were far from knowing the God of creation whose heart is full of love and light. As Christ followers we must cling to Jesus rather than become like the Pharisees who valued knowing about...

The story of the Samaritan woman perfectly illustrates how God sent Jesus not to condemn the world but to save the world through him. Jesus humbles himself, engages the woman in conversation, and sets her free from shame and guilt. She arrives at the well as a sinner, but leaves as a saint. Encounters with God will do that to someone, even YOU. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us what is mea...

Those who are “born anew" lock their focus onto the crucified and resurrected Christ who now dwells in us by the Holy Spirit. Our life starts to look like the life of Jesus: we are daily crucified as we pick up our cross and follow him, but we are also daily resurrected with life, love, and joy. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas share what it means to be born again.

Three times Jesus was tempted by the devil and three times Jesus came out on top. Overcoming temptation and hardships is possible in our lives because Jesus rewires our core and makes us new. Our lives become distinctive and intriguing as we overcome common hardships and temptations in a way that gives hope to others. Join Us as Dr. Chuck Jonas how being rewired by Christ changes everything.

For far too many churches, the deacons appear to be a group that runs and directs the activities of a church, whereas last week we discussed how deacons were set up to be the servants of the church.  In fact, that is what the title of deacon means, a servant, not a ruler, taskmaster, or overseer.  Those that we recognize to give the title of deacon, servants of the church, have special qualificati...

When we encounter a passage of Scripture dealing with church leadership, we are sometimes tempted to skip ahead to something more exciting or relevant. And you are probably not alone in that thinking.  There are many who come to the passages we are going to be looking at over the next few weeks and ask, “What does this have to with my life?” Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas reminds that Church leadershi...

It’s not a matter of if the storms of life will come, it’s a matter of when.  And when they come, you want to be prepared, you want to have a firm grip on the anchor of your soul, Jesus. The Bible uses words like perseverance and steadfastness to describe enduring faith.  But there’s another word I want us to add to our vocabulary today, and that’s the word remain. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas share...

We live in a world where storms will come, which highlights the necessity of having an anchor. It’s not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. The storms are coming and there will be adversity, suffering, and pain. When we are faced with any of these we need to be prepared beforehand, ready for whatever may come our way. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas reminds us why we need to be secured to anchor...

An anchor is an amazing invention, used by fishermen and sailors for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.  The basic concept of an anchor is that it “is a device, normally made of metal, used to secure a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the craft from drifting due to wind or current.”  An anchor is simple in its design, but very powerful in its function.  As believers, we are encou...
