Baal culture. Unholy culture. God-hating culture. And followers. "And boy did you hear when they did this? And man, they just did that! And I hate how they characterize followers of God! And enough is enough…." What does God do when enough is enough? He takes His righteous One, exiles him in the famine near a river that’s drying up due to the famine. He feeds him with ravens. Unclean animals. Then...

You ever feel like the world's going down the drain, and no one cares... and you thought God cared, but He doesn't appear to either? Enter into the Northern Kingdom if Israel where powers and principalities ruled it, but one man rises up to face the tide of the culture with truth: it is indeed Yahweh who brings the rains, not Baal.

No matter where Jesus arises from, His history, His story, the truth He offers to the entire world is salvation - and when you hear salvation, don’t just think forgiveness, but think rest, think abundant life, think active, sure, hope… but here’s the truth, the one truth: the truth Christ offers for the world is found nowhere else but Himself. That’s it. What we offer as Christians, is Jesus, no m...

What are you living from when it happened last time to when it happens next time? What's your go to, to recharge? What's your FINAL, MUST-HAVE, thing that you sure will provide what you're looking for? And when will you learn it can't offer what you're looking for?

Do we ever forget that we’re introducing people to Jesus, but we don’t need to introduce Jesus to those people? He already knows the someone you need to invite to Him! God REVEALS Himself to you and me and He eventually reveals Himself to the people we invite, because He’s real! He’s still inviting people into His Kingdom, and He still shows Himself to people like Nathanael who might be at first r...

You never know what’s in a person's heart, do you? I mean at first glance, this is an odd response. Peter listens to a sermon or some teachings from Jesus, the people disperse, Jesus tells him to fish, Peter catches this miraculous load of fish and now, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

As long as you or I are content with the world, in all of its dark ways, and we aren’t BEING or REVEALING something new... If we’re not sharing the light of the world, if we aren’t being the city on a hill? There’s no news to spread, then! If we’re just people with busier Sundays, what do we have to offer for the searching soul?

Ever been in a hotel and see a Gideons' Bible? Who are these people? Why are they everywhere in hotels, Doctors' Offices, or even coming home with your kids from school at times? John Swan, a local Gideon presented this Sunday at Woodland Friends Church.

The antidote for complacency is Christ. If you or I know, love, serve, and follow Christ, and know Him as He reveals Himself to us, then we cannot be complacent. When Christ comes, He ignites a fire in your soul!

“It’s pointless to serve God. Others who don’t serve Him are ahead in life. That’s why its pointless,” some argue. To put it in opposite terms, perhaps a question that God might be asking is this: "what if serving Him is not about getting ahead in life? What if being at the top of the food chain is not where worth or value or identity is even to be had?"

What if robbing God is actually robbing ourselves when we do so? We miss out on blessings when we disobey God because we feel the costs are too high. What if the costs are to high to NOT obey? What if our predicaments now that we're in is actually due to past disobedience, and the only way out now actually is our obedience?

We might see so much injustice, “God why aren’t you doing anything?” His patience is not a sign of His inactivity. His patience is not a sign of His non-existence. It’s a sign of mercy. And the irony is, is His patience is meant for our repentance and redemption concerning where WE have been unjust and don't even know it.

It's a simple enough logic that Malachi is preaching. He's essentially saying, “the man who can’t be faithful to his wife whom he knows and sees, obviously demonstrates he cannot be faithful to God whom he cannot see.” What does faithfulness with your fellow brother, sister, friend or spouse say about your faithfulness to God?

Integrity is defined as, a “firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values,” and the dictionary points readers to see the entry for INCORRUPTIBILITY. Or, another definition states that integrity is “the quality or state of being complete or undivided.” I like that. When you or I act one way here, and another way there, that is divided. The Priests of Malachi were divided, claiming...
