"'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.'"

Jeremiah 29:11 is easily one of the top five most quoted scriptures, and yet it must be fully understood in it its context. Israel was just exiled to Babylon, and while many false prophets claimed the people would only be there a short while, Jeremiah sent a letter letting them know it would be 70 years before they returned.

In a time when prosperity is preached as gospel, it's essential to know that there will be seasons of suffering in your life. Join Dream City Omaha as Pastor John Weasel shows us how no matter the season, there is work to be done and always hope to hold on to because God’s will is not to keep you from suffering but to bring you closer to Him as He brings you through suffering.

In Jeremiah, we see the sad reality of a people who've walked away from their relationship with God and how he wishes them to return.

Join Dream City Omaha as Pastor John Weasel shows us how only God brings true satisfaction. This is done through a relationship with Him, not through a religion around His temple.

King Josiah was one of the good kings of Judah and one who brought about reform in his time. Looking at Josiah, we may ask how do we bring revival in our own time?

Join Dream City Omaha as Pastor John Weasel uses the reforms of King Josiah to show that the recipe for revival calls for repentance, reestablishing proper worship, and for God's people to recommit to God's Word.

The good kings of Judah are few and far between, and each was distinct in how he was considered righteous. In Hezekiah's case, it was in what he held fast to in times of trouble.

Join Dream City Omaha as Pastor Taylor Foster of Lifegate teaches from King Hezekiah's life, showing us that our present proximity to God trumps our past pursuits of him and how fear is the fruit, not the root, of what we hold to. Most importantly, we're asked the critical questions of what do we hold to in our troubles and what do we need to release to God.

Elijah and Elisha are two of the great prophets of the Old Testament. Before Elijah was taken by God, Elisha asked him for a double portion of the anointing that Elijah had had. He asked a hard thing, but we see the fulfillment of this double portion after the man's death.

The story of Elisha and the widow teaches us an important thing: being empty is being better than being full.

Join Dream City Omaha as Pastor John Weasel pulls from Elisha's story, showing us how God uses what we already have, but also challenges us in knowing that we are not empty enough. God will only fill empty vessels, and he wants to bless you more than you can imagine.
