Leaving Laodicea

This Easter, commit your life and thoughts and dreams to Him who can do far beyond what we can possibly imagine (Eph. 3:20-21).  Do not, like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, fall back and fade into obscurity regarding the moving of God and remain satisfied with the trinkets and toys this world offers and neglect the "riches in heaven" prepared for you, the "abundant life" our Lord promised (John 10:10).  Look around you and see the mission field God has place you in and begin today, on Easter, to faithfully serve Him who gave His life for you (Matt. 20:28).And remember the words of William Carey:  "Expect great things from God.  Attempt great things for God."The following is a study on John 3:1-2.

In the fourth of Zechariah's eight visions we see the following prophetic words about Jesus:For behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the Branch.  For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua:  Upon the stone are seven eyes.Behold, I will engrave its inscription.I think I've got the part about the Branch and the stone and the seven eyes.  But what inscription is engraved on the stone?The answer to this question will alter your view of Jesus... forever.  The following is a study on Zechariah 3:1-10.

In the last verse of the second chapter of Zechariah we find the chilling statement that God will no longer stay silent while His people, the apple of His eye, are mistreated by others.  The sleeping Giant has awakened.  Momma bear is ready to protect her cubs.  The time for the great awakening is upon us.  "Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused (or, awakened) from His holy habitation!"In other words, Aslan in on the move!  And you'd better be ready.This following is a study on Zechariah 2:1-13.

The first of the eight visions revealed to Zechariah tell a harrowing tale of disappointment and disillusionment to those who are waiting for God to keep His promise.  But as you dig deeper into the vision of the Man and the Myrtle trees, you find that God has not failed them but gives them incredible promises and declarations of what their future will be like.In fact, according to Zechariah 1:13 the Lord answered the questions with "good and comforting words."I don't know about you, but I could use some good and comforting words from the Lord.  Listen and be encouraged from a prophecy to Zechariah that is just as relevant today as it was 2,500 years ago.The following is a study of Zechariah 1:7-17.To download the notes for this message, click - HERE

The book of Zechariah begins with one of the most challenging and frightening conditional promises found in Scripture.First, there is God's statement of their condition:  “The Lord has been very angry with your fathers."Then, the wonderful and frightening promise:  “Return to Me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts."But the flip side of this promise is also true.  If they won't return to Him, then it logically follows that He won't return to them.Sounds like much of the church today.  Keep listening.The following is a study of Zechariah 1:1-6.

The entire message of Haggai can be summed up in these three words:  Consider your ways.After all, consider this warning given five times in Haggai:Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: "Consider your ways!" - Haggai 1:5Thus says the Lord of hosts: "Consider your ways!" - 1:7"And now, carefully consider from this day forward." - 2:15And again, "And now, carefully consider from this day forward." - 2:17There is something - something important - the Lord is trying to tell us through the words of Haggai.  Keep listening to find out more.The following is a study of Haggai 2:1-23.
