Pastor Scott spends time examining the elements of the Serenity Prayer, starting with the first part that reads: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change." Pastor Scott invites us to consider Mary’s story and her choices, from the perspective of this prayer.

God sent the minor prophet, Malachi, to the nation of Israel to set them straight on the road with God. But was that a message only for those people, at that time? Nicole Unice preaches on the timeless words of Malachi, and how his message then is a message that's relevant to us today.

Pastor Terence preaches from the book of the minor prophet, Haggai, and shows us that God gave him a mission to pass on to Israel's leaders: rebuild the Temple. Easy enough, right? But like many of us, knowing what God has told us to do and accomplishing it can be two very different things.

Pastor Scott guides us through the book of the minor prophet, Zephaniah, whose name means “the Lord hides.” In this context, it means the Lord "hides" us from trouble and protects us from the damaging winds of the storms of life IF we learn to trust and obey Him.

Do you look around this world and shake your head, or your fist, dismayed at what you see happening and wonder where God is, and what He's doing in the midst of so much sin and injustice?
