July 28, 2019 "Habakkuk: The Cycle of Lament" A Sermon by Barrett Owen
Habbakuk is fed up with waiting on God. The destruction of Israel and the
sinfulness of other nations is too much to stay silent about . . . so
Habbakuk laments. Through lamenting, he arrives on a firmer foundation and
by the start of the second chapter he is ready to stand on a watchtower and
wait. By the beginning of Chapter 3, he is fully on board with God’s plan
and has the endurance to wait. Habbakuk shows us a wonderful process for
grief that still applies today.

July 21, 2019 "Nahum: Recognizing Deep Suffering" A Sermon by Barrett Owen
Nowhere in the Bible is it more obvious that some people strongly believed in the “an eye for an eye.” This entire book is a fantasy on revenge. The Israelites hate the Assyrians and dream of their demise. It is in this lens we must understand that Nahum is only part of the voice that we need to hear from. The payoff of a well-worked-through deep suffering is the recognition of deep love. Understanding Nahum’s place in our scripture is important. It is not the gospel by itself. But it also helps flesh out the complexities we all face in life.

July 14, 2019 "Jonah: A Story of Calling" A Sermon by Annette Coe
There’s no other book quite like Jonah in the Bible. It’s almost completely
self-contained without the interference of other writers, historical
figures, or references to Israelite history. There’s no date given or
historical precedent for why Jonah’s been called by God. What we do know is
Jonah is mentioned in 2 Kings 14 during the reign of Jeroboam II which
would have been the 8th Century and Assyria gaining power. We know Ninevah
was destroyed by Babylon in the 6th Century, so it stands to reason Jonah
is somewhere between the two. Regardless, this folklore-style prophecy is
one of the most descriptive and peculiar books in all the Bible.

July 07, 2019 "Amos: An Everflowing Stream" A Sermon by Lacey Wondree
Amos is contemporaries with Micah and Hosea. He’s a southern farmer from
Tokoa who travels to the northern kingdom, Israel, to speak to Jeroboam II
and his government warning them of Assyrian allegiances. Amos is one of the
easiest to date. He’s an 8th century prophet speaking to the northern
kingdom, Israel, during Assyrian rule.

June 30, 2019 "Micah: Justice Matters" A Sermon by Nathan Dove
We know very little about Micah. His name means, “Who is like Yahweh?”
Thanks to the superscription, we can date him to the 8th century around the
Judean kings of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. This means he is writing to the
southern kingdom, Judah, as a native, during the pivotal years of the
Assyrians trying to lay siege to Jerusalem, but ultimately failing. His
earliest oracles predate the destruction of Israel in 722. The back half of
his book clearly speaks of Israel’s destruction and Micah’s warning that
those same events not happen to Jerusalem in the south.

June 23, 2019 Obadiah: A Sermon by Larry Jones
We know very little about Obadiah. As a matter of fact, Obadiah may not
have even been his name. Obadiah means, “worshiper of Yahweh.” Whether
Obadiah is his real name or not, what we do know is he was a prophet living
in the 6th century who witnessed the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon.
The southern kingdom Judah was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, and
all the Judeans were sent into exile. Where did all these people go? Edom.
Obadiah’s prophecies speak directly to Edom while the Judeans are in
exile.

June 16, 2019 "Joel: The Day of the Lord" A Sermon by Barrett Owen
Joel threatens the Day of the Lord (which is code for both when God acted
and when God will act decisively). In the prophets, this phrase is always
bad. It symbolized how and why God is coming to judge and destroy. Joel
clearly is warning Israel to repent from their sins and it appears they do
we hear Joel say that God is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and
full of love. This language is the golden calf story from Exodus. Even in
the face of sin, when God’s people repent, God reveals God’s mercy.

June 09, 2019 "Hosea: Looking into the Heart of God" A Sermon by Barrett Owen
Hosea is a northern prophet who speaks to the Northern Kingdom, Israel.
Hosea’s chief message is to warn the ruling elite of their “promiscuous”
lifestyle with foreign adversaries. Israel has set up an international
agribusiness that aggressively taxes their own poor while the elite benefit
from foreign aid. Worship has diluted into nothing short of pagan worship
and God is tired of it. In Hosea 11, we see a rare glimpse into the heart
of God. God laments the state of Israel and calls for their repentance. The
depiction of God in Hosea 11 is the image we need today to help re-author
who God is for us.

June 02, 2019 "The Book of the Twelve" A Sermon by Barrett Owen
The Bible Jesus read consisted of the Law (Genesis - Deuteronomy), the
Writings (Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes) and the Prophets (Major and
Minor). One of the most important genres of the Bible is the voice of the
prophet, who speaks in oracles and pronouncements, and it is time we hear
from them. One of the best illustrations we have is from Amos. His “oracles
against the nations” proves just why the prophetic matters.

May 26, 2019 "Telos: Our Future is at the River" A Sermon by Barrett Owen
Revelation 22 is one of Pastor Barrett’s favorite texts. It’s the last
chapter of the Bible and the last image God gives us to think about our
relationship with the Divine. It just so happens to be a scene at the river
of the water of life with the tree of life growing. These five verses draw
perhaps the most important image of what our future (the telos) entails.
Hint: we reign with God forever and ever.
