Luke 24

This Resurrection Sunday we focus in on how Jesus has perfectly redeemed us, and how the gospel message is simple and clear. We need to remember who he is and what he has done for us. 

Ruth 4

A Kinsman Redeemer must have the right to redeem, the ability to redeem, and the willingness to redeem. Boaz has all of these qualities as he reflects a beautiful portrait of Christ.

Ruth 3 Looking at the plan of Naomi for them to find rest shows the importance of what a kinsman redeemer brings about, rest. For Ruth and Naomi, this rest would be reflected in marriage. For us as believers rest is found in the redemption of Christ

Ruth 2

As we looked at the resolve and determination of Ruth to love Naomi, her land, people and God; we see the response of what that determination entails. The responses of Boaz, her, and Noami. The love of God demands a response. Will we respond in faith or fear?

Ruth 1

As we begin our look at Ruth and the redemption phase, we also understand the struggles that relationships come from in order to find redemption. Many times we can look to so many places for redemption, but the one true place is found in the Lord. 

A message by elder Phil Enke to help focus our identities to Christ as we focus on a true picture of Heaven

Today as we finish Hosea, we look at the final call to repentance from the prophet and God's promise to restore his people.

Hosea 12-13 Unfaithfulness

Today we talk about the third accusation against the people of Israel, their unfaithfulness to the Lord. The people were deceptive and dishonest which would lead to destruction as a judgment against them for breaking the covenant. God repeatedly calls on the people to return to him, and when that message is not heard, judgement comes.

Hosea 10-11

The prosperity of Israel was mistaken for their own deeds and power. Rather than seeing the luxury of being God's chosen people, those chased after and loved idols and other things. The judgement coming was a discipline to allow them to know God. We need to be mindful of our own wandering and ungrateful hearts for the prosperity that God has given us in salvation.

Hosea 8-9 

The section of no love for God continues as Hosea describes areas of rebellion and sin where they are loving other things over God. His warning comes to a people who think they know God, but God is driving them away in exile for betraying the covenant.
