H2O Church Wright State

S9.E1 // In this episode, Pastor Joshua Ortega gave H2O staff Aaron Kaufman the opportunity to speak on Zechariah 4 and 5. Follow along as our preacher-in-training challenges us to see Jesus throughout the Old Testament, how Zerubbabel wasn't holding plums, and how it's only by God's power that we can do what He calls us to do.

*If the squeaky stage bothers you, don't worry! Aaron hops off about 10 minutes into this episode.

We read through one chapter each week and then come together on Sundays in house churches to discuss what we read. Once a month, we gather together for a more typical-styled service, where we record the teaching and upload it as our podcast. This summer, we're studying the book of the prophet Zechariah.
