    We believe that God will do that which seems “impossible”. We believe that God will take each opportunity, each act of service, each expression of love to one another and use that for His glory and His Kingdom.

    I Still Believe Sept 7, 2008 Zech 8:1-8 Intro: I think I used to be more of a dreamer. I was never a pure idealist, with a grand vision of the perfect future “if only…”, but I have been close. I remember studying Romans 6 and hearing the Holy Spirit loudly saying “YES! It IS possible for you ...read more

    Is Jesus first in your life? Is it all about you, or all about Him? Have you lost your first love, been living for you, turned your back to Him? God looks at all of our lives, and He asks, “Is it really for me??”

    Was It Really For Me? August 31, 2008 Zech 7 Intro: One of the really healthy, but challenging, things about preaching through a book of the Bible is that I don’t get to just preach the words of encouragement and promise that make us feel good. Preaching right through a book forces us to take ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 12,331 views

In the first portion was the call to national repentance and turning to the Lord for His Covenant blessings. After a national turning to God ...read more

    God tells Israel as He works within them He expects them to conduct themselves in such a way that others will hear that God is with them. I believe what God told Israel is wise advice to us. If we follow these words we'll be a source of blessing.

    That Others Might Hear Zechariah 8:15-23 Introduction: Do we want to be blessed by God and to be used by God to be a blessing to others?

     | 11,316 views

    Zechariah announces the divine blessing of faithful obedience to be realized during that time & in full during the future Messianic Age. At that time God's people will rejoice with great joy, gladness & experience popularity.

    ZECHARIAH 8: 18-23 WHEN FASTING BECOMES FEASTING In the previous chapter Zechariah proclaimed to the people the mere externals and empty ritualism in their observance of the fasts as well as pointing out to them the sins and transgression which caused their suffering (7:1-7).

     | 13,148 views

    The way we have acted in the past in our relationship with God changes as we grow and understand the purposes God has for us. We need to constantly keep our spiritual eyes open to the spiritual newness God has brought into our lives and then be open to transformation.

    Tuesday of the 26th Week in Course 2019 St. Therese of Liseaux The connection between our two Scripture readings today is stark.
