Where in the story | God's Persistence: Jeremiah and the fall of Judah

"Our hearts long for assurance in this life. So God gives us promises rooted in himself. Our assurance is rooted in a relationship."

What do we do in the gap between promises made and promises kept? We either fill the gap with doubt or trust. God is a promise making and keeping God. And yet, in this moment in the story of Scripture, the promises feel the furthest away. So God invites his people to trust in a new promise and a new hope that is rooted in a God who cannot (and will not) break his word.

Where in the story | God's Persistence: Isaiah and Hezekiah

"The only way to go from condemnation to comfort is when a righteous King enters into the story."

Moving now to the southern kingdom of Judah, we look at Isaiah and Hezekiah. Isaiah will begin with prophecies of condemnation, but will end with prophecies of comfort. What changed? A righteous King interceded to the LORD on the people's behalf. Sound familiar? In this episode we look at the book of Isaiah and the reign of King Hezekiah, a righteous King and shadow of our true King, Jesus.

Where in the story | God's Persistence: Obadiah, Jonah, Amos, Hosea (Prophets to the Northern Kingdom)

"In order for God to heal us, he has to hone in on the very part of our lives we are trying to hide."

God teaches in two ways: experientially and explicitly. As the story unfolds, God has largely been teaching his people through experiencing his love (and what life is like when they reject it). Now, God turns up the explicit communication by speaking through prophets. When seen individually, these prophets have a lot to say to God's people. But when seen all together, we get a central message from God to them (and to us today).

Where in the story | God's Persistence: 1 Kings and the main moments in the life of Elijah

"Sometimes you need a rally from God. Sometimes you need rest in God. Only God knows what you truly need. Because what you truly need is him."

Journey with us as we see the ups, downs, and final outcome of Elijah's life and ministry.  In Elijah's life, we see our own. All of us will have successes and set-backs in life. And yet, it is our God who navigates us in the green pastures and the dark valleys. He is holding our hand whether we need a rally from him or rest in him. Because in the end, we really just need him.

Where in the story | God's Persistence: 1 Kings 12 and the Sins of Jeroboam.

"We are products of good leaders we are trying to mimic and bad leaders we are trying to avoid."

In this episode we explore the downline of good and not so good leadership. Looking at the beginning of the divided Kingdom of God's people, we see two terrible leaders: Rehoboam and Jeroboam. Both will mimic the worst of Solomon and both will leave a wake of hurt behind them.

We are all a product of those around us. So let's listen in as we are restoried back to how we love and lead others as God loves and leads us.

Passion Week Devotional: Last Words

HE IS RISEN! This reality affirms everything that Jesus said from the cross. That he has the power to forgive his enemies, offer salvation to the sinner, and comfort for those he loves. The cross is the great victory, reversal, and affirmation of everything Jesus said from the cross. It is finished because he is risen.

God gets the last word... and affirms every word he has ever spoken.

Passion Week Devotional: Last Words

As we prepare our hearts for Easter, listen into the final words Jesus said from the cross. Each day we will look at one of the seven statements Jesus said as he gave his life for humanity.

The final words of Jesus were directed at his Father. Giving everything he had, Jesus finally rest in the loving arms of his dad who he has never stopped trusting. His rest in the Father invites us to rest in the Father as well. Because in Christ, every cross leads to resurrection.
