Revelation teaches us that Jesus Christ deserves and demands all worship because He possesses all authority. We see this truth through four sub-themes: the authority of Christ, the object of worship, the judgment of sinners, and the response of believers.

Daniel is a diverse book of narratives and visions but has a single message: God controls all human history. God shows His control through His character, servants, and deliverance. We ought to respond in humble prayer. 

It is true that "Zekiel saw de wheel." But he also saw much more than that. Ezekiel saw God's glory as God reveals Himself through word and action, judges sin justly with war and captivity, and restores based on His character and through His Messiah. 

Zechariah may seem complicated with all the visions and prophecies, but his message is very simple: God gives hope. Zechariah shows us what we cannot see or have yet to see in order to encourage us to trust the LORD of Hosts whose Messiah will bring deliverance and peace. 

Peter and Jude wrote their epistles to believers who could see a storm of persecution coming. In face of these coming trials, many believers were growing restless and vulnerable to false teaching, Peter and Jude share a common theme through their three epistles: Stand firm!

Hebrews is a fascinating epistle filled with Old Testament quotations and allusions. Its author and specific audience are unknown. But these unknowns do not change the message: Live by faith. Hebrews was written to encourage believers to endure in their pursuit of Christ as they navigate spiritual and physical dangers.

1 & 2 Thessalonians talk much about future events, but Paul was not just informing the church about the future. Meditating on Christ's return ought to bring us comfort rather than worry and ought to promote holiness rather than laziness. 

Paul packed these epistles with doctrine and application. Yet we spend only a few days in them during our reading schedule. However, we can better understand each book when we understand Paul's history (or lack thereof) with each church and purpose for writing. 

Do you want to "listen" to the Book of Job in under 11 minutes? Well, here's your chance!

Job can be a difficult book to understand, especially as you read through the 35 chapters that record Job and his friends talking. In this podcast, several of our church members lend their voices to read summaries of each chapter in Job. These summaries hit the key points so that you can see the big picture and better understand the details as you read through the Book of Job.

Special thanks for Beth Lacy, Mike Bidwell, Joel Garbutt, and John Murray.  

The messages of Haggai and Malachi are some of the most applicable of the Minor Prophets to the New Testament believer even though these men wrote 400-500 years before Christ was born. Their audience, Jews after the exile,  no longer struggled with idolatry but now struggled to maintain a true relationship with God. They had the outward form of religion without the inward desire to love and seek God. Sound familiar?
