1. Faith: I Got This (Habakkuk)
Contributed on Jun 7, 2026
Habakkuk teaches that faith is not understanding everything God does, but trusting God's character when life refuses to make sense.
Have you noticed how often people say, "I got this"? We say it when we're carrying groceries. We say it when we're fixing something. We say it when somebody offers help. "No thanks. I got this." Most of us like being in control. The problem is that eventually life hands ...read more

2. Still Singing The Same Song (Nahum And The Songs We Live By)
Contributed on Jun 5, 2026
When fear becomes our song, Nahum restores the refrain: God remains good, remembers His people, and outlasts every Nineveh we face.
There are certain memories that never completely leave you. You can go decades without thinking about them, and then suddenly something brings them rushing back as though they happened yesterday. For me, one of those memories is academy chapel. Every morning we would make our way into the ...read more

3. The Life And Times Of Gomer (Hosea's Unfinished Love Story)
Contributed on Jun 4, 2026
Gomer's story reveals that wandering never satisfies, grace relentlessly pursues, and God's covenant love remains faithful even when we fail.
There are certain people in the Bible who seem to step onto the stage for only a moment, yet somehow we never forget them. We remember Noah and the ark. We remember David and the giant. We remember Daniel and the lions. We remember Esther and the king. And then there is Gomer. Most people ...read more

4. A One-Sermon Witness (Why God Preserved Obadiah)
Contributed on Jun 7, 2026
God preserved Obadiah's brief message because pride still deceives, kingdoms still fall, and only God's eternal kingdom ultimately endures forever.
Several years ago I had the opportunity to visit Petra in Jordan. Some of you have seen photographs of Petra. Pictures hardly do it justice. I rode a Bedouin camel through that rugged landscape. I wandered through the vast complex carved into the rock. At one point I sat beneath the tent of a ...read more

5. When God Sings (A Study In Zephaniah)
Contributed on Nov 8, 2025
God rejoices over His children with singing; His unending melody of love began at creation, triumphed at Calvary, and continues through redeemed hearts
1 – The Unthinkable Sound We sing to God every Sabbath. We open our hymnals, follow the notes, and hope our voices find the right pitch before the second verse ends. Singing feels natural to us — after all, that’s what worshippers do. But Zephaniah flips the page. He says God sings. That’s not ...read more

6. Swallowed But Saved (Jonah's Journey From Running To Redemption)
Contributed on Oct 9, 2025
God’s mercy meets us in the depths, restores the runaway, and raises us up through the same power that raised Jesus from the grave.
Introduction The Bible contains some very peculiar verses, doesn’t it? But two of the strangest I’ve come across are right here in Jonah chapter two. Verse one: “From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.” And verse ten: “And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry ...read more

7. If I Had A Hammer (Haggai And Left-Behind Expectations)
Contributed on Jun 9, 2026
When disappointment shattered expectations, God called His people to stop comparing, trust His purposes, and build faithfully with what remained.
There are few words in the English language more powerful than the words, "If only." If only I had started sooner. If only I had saved more. If only I had gone to school. If only I had married differently. If only my health were better. If only the church were larger. If only my ...read more

8. Wait! Hold Everything! (Malachi)
Contributed on Jun 20, 2026
Malachi calls weary believers to guard their hearts during life's long waits, remembering God's love, faithfulness, and certain coming deliverance.
There was a time when our family received a call to mission service in the Middle East. Our assignment was going to be Cairo, Egypt. As you can imagine, that generated quite a few conversations around our house. My wife and I prayed about it. We talked about it. We weighed the opportunities ...read more

9. Famous Amos: When God Is Not Impressed
Contributed on Jun 20, 2026
Amos warns that God values transformed hearts over religious performance, calling His people to let justice, mercy, and righteousness flow daily.
Some names have a way of sticking with us. Mention the name Abraham Lincoln and people think of Gettysburg. Mention Winston Churchill and people think of World War II. Mention Billy Graham and people think of evangelism. And for some of us, mention Amos and the first thing that comes to mind is ...read more

10. Have The Locusts Been Here? (Joel)
Contributed on Jun 22, 2026
Joel reveals God's compassionate heart, calling His people to repentance, restoring what was lost, and pouring out His Spirit abundantly.
There are certain songs that seem to have a life of their own. You don't have to sing them very often. You don't even have to think about them. But somewhere deep in your memory they remain waiting. Then one day you hear a familiar phrase and immediately the melody begins playing in your ...read more

11. God Remembers (Zechariah Reminds Us)
Contributed on Jun 23, 2026
When life's disappointments suggest God has forgotten, Zechariah reminds us that the Lord remembers His people, His promises, and His future.
There is a fear that most Christians rarely admit out loud. We will admit that we are tired. We will admit that we are discouraged. We will admit that we are confused. But there is one fear we almost never speak. The fear that God has forgotten us. Not that He has ceased to exist. Not that ...read more

12. Picking Up The Pieces (Micah)
Contributed on Jun 23, 2026
Micah warns that God's people should live the truth they know, yet celebrates a God who gathers, restores, forgives, and saves.
There are certain sounds in life that instantly get your attention. A smoke alarm in the middle of the night. The screech of tires on pavement. The sound of breaking glass. Most of us know that last sound. You hear it from another room and immediately know something has gone wrong. Perhaps it ...read more

13. Minor Prophets, Major God
Contributed on Jun 23, 2026
The Minor Prophets reveal a God who pursues, confronts, restores, remembers, forgives, and faithfully keeps every promise He makes.
If someone asked you to describe God in a single sentence, what would you say? That sounds easy until you actually try it. You might say God is loving. And you would be right. But that is not the whole story. Someone else might say God is holy. And they would be right too. Another person ...read more
