On the Day: The Gospel of Zechariah We are in the home stretch in Zechariah. Chapter 12 begins the final section. And as I read, listen for the phrase “On that day.” You’ll hear it multiple times. Really, it’s what ties these final three chapters together. For Zechariah’s audience, it was a promise of a future day of salvation. For them, it was all in the future. For us, though, we’re living 2500...

Last week we looked at the beginning and end of Zechariah chapter 11, which sort of bookended this chapter. It was about God’s judgment on the worthless shepherds. And why he was so harsh. The middle section is obviously connected. And it’s a drama. A play of sorts. God tells Zechariah to act out a scenario for the people to see. Zechariah was to become the shepherd. Not just any shepherd. Zechari...

Israel’s Shepherds part 2: Human Trafficking Last week we focused on Zechariah chapter 10. It revealed two things… first, the passive failures of the shepherd leaders in Judah, and the result. And it revealed, second, the overwhelming active leadership of the Lord… all the ways that he cares for and protects his sheep. Zechariah 11 returns to the failures of the shepherds. But it’s focus has shift...

Israel’s Shepherds part 1: Asleep at the Wheel Thank you to David Fraser for preaching last Sunday. It was a blessing to me as I could focus on our denominational matters 2 weeks ago.

That will leave us with chap...

They are the largest warships in the world. “Peace through Strength.” That phrase comes from Reagan himself, who in the 1980 presidential election said this: “to be prepared...

Zechariah: Salvation Revealed Our stated sermon text is Zechariah 9:1-8. We’re actually not going to spend much time in these verses. Originally, I planned to start with a review of the first 8 chapters and a preview of the last 6 chapters, but then focus in on these 8 verses. However, my overview got more involved and sort of took over. So that’s what this morning’s sermon will be. If you are vis...

We want bosses who can motivate us, give guidance a...
