What do you do when you’re trying to put the pieces of your life back together? Pastor Glenn Packiam continues our sermon series on Everyday Prophets with a teaching from the book of Haggai. We need the presence, people, and power of God.

Join us for our series through the minor prophets, Everyday Prophets.

There are times the prophet speaks to the people on behalf of the Lord, and there are times the prophet speaks to the Lord on behalf of the people. Habakkuk is the latter. In the face of wicked and oppressive leaders seeming to prosper, he asks, “How long...?” And when he realizes that God is going to use a more wicked nation to bring about justice, he asks, “How could you...?” We’ve all had those “How long?” and “How could you?” moments. Both lament and praise are profound acts of faith in times of disorientation and disappointment.

Why does God allow evil? What does he think about it? What will he do about it? Pastor Glenn Packiam continues our sermon series on Everyday Prophets with a teaching from the book of Nahum on God’s vengeance.

What kind of community does God seek? Pastor Jason Jackson Continues our sermon series on Everyday Prophets with a teaching from the book of Micah.

"Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity, overlooking the sin of the few remaining for his inheritance? He doesn’t hold on to his anger forever; he delights in faithful love. 19 He will once again have compassion on us; he will tread down our iniquities. You will hurl all our sins into the depths of the sea. 20 You will provide faithfulness to Jacob, faithful love to Abraham, as you swore to our ancestors a long time ago." (Micah 7:18-20)

What do you do about the people in your life who are hard to love? Pastor Glenn Packiam continues our sermon series on Everyday Prophets with a teaching from the book of Jonah on the radical truth about God’s mercy. As Christians, we recognize that while Jonah wouldn’t leave Israel to preach to his enemies, Jesus left heaven to die for His.

Pastor Jason Jackson continues our series on Everyday Prophets with a teaching from the book of Amos. Yahweh sent Amos to confront and not to comfort. We need the Word of the Lord to confront us, guide us, and remind us that we too were poor and need God’s generosity to produce generosity in us.

Pastor Glenn continues our series on Everyday Prophets with a teaching from the book of Obadiah. When your enemy falls, don’t let pride lead you to take pleasure in it and profit from it. Only Jesus is just and merciful enough to judge.

Pastor Glenn continues our sermon series, Everyday Prophets, with a teaching from the book of Joel. In times of trouble, it is always the right decision to humble ourselves, repent, and return to the Lord. Only God can bring about the renewal and restoration that we long for. There is nothing that has been lost that cannot be restored.

Pastor Glenn kicks off our new sermon series EVERYDAY PROPHETS with Hosea. He poses the question “How would these everyday prophets speak to us today?”. There may be consequences for our choices, but if we allow them to lead us to repentance, we will see God at work in the midst of it and calling us back into His loving arms.
