Riley Taylor from Calvary Fellowship in Seattle shares at our Abide Service. His message is on identity, and what you are striving and living for.

Cole Smith shares on the theme of our summer camp – Time Lab! We take a look at how Jesus has shown Himself throughout time.

We see in Psalms 136 and 138 a call to praise God and a reminder why we should do so. Sandwiched between these Psalms is a Psalm detailing a time when the Jews had no song to sing, when they sat in captivity in Babylon. It’s a picture of the results of sin. It will rob us of a song to sing.

In these Psalms we look at the blessing that comes as we gather in unity and seek the Lord together.

Solomon said that righteousness exalts a nation. But we look at the reverse of that in this chapter as we see the wickedness of king Ahaz and the effect of that in Judah. We discuss how that parallels with our nation and how we are to respond.

King Uzziah begins well in his reign, but soon began to think he was the reason for his success. He became prideful and overstepped his boundaries. And the Lord had to deal with Him by some interesting means. It’s a reminder for us that God is our strength, and He should get all the glory for all we do.

Ezekiel continues to prophecy against the nations around Israel who were feeling strong and secure. But because of their pride, God will humble them. And God reminds Ezekiel that his role is to be a watchman, warning people repent and turn to the Lord and experience His grace.

King Amaziah comes on to the scene and it says he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a loyal heart. And that made all the difference in the world. He was led into compromise and eventually puffed up with pride. A divided heart will lead you into unnecessary trouble.

Joash was a king in Judah that started off well but didn’t have so great of a finish. What happened? We’ll take a look at this in our study and examine some things we need to be careful of as well.

We continue to look at a couple nations surrounding Israel that were soon going to feel the hand of the Lord against them. Their common struggle was that of pride. They began to consider themselves a god rather than rely on the One True God. And thinks won’t work out so well for them.
