The Open Word (Audio)

Today, Pastor David provides the example of the Israelites walking through the desert. The Bible says their clothes and shoes never wore out for 40 years! Maybe your dishwasher broke this morning, or maybe your car wouldn't start on your way to work. Whatever happens in your life, Pastor David will remind you that when you're faithful to the Lord, God will provide. Things last longer, money stretches farther, and you won't be able to explain it – it's all thanks to the Lord's provision!

In today's message, Pastor David will share with you a common theme that is shared between the Old and New Testaments. The Lord's desire is for You, as a Christian, to be restored and reconciled to Him. As Pastor David will show you, one of the ways God achieves this is by discipline. His discipline has many purposes, but one main purpose is to bring His people back from where they strayed. The Lord's desire is for You, as a Christian, to be restored and reconciled to Him.

Have you ever felt guilty about not giving someone you care about your whole, undivided attention in the past? Or maybe they did something remarkable for you only for you to show them insincere or half hearted gratitude? Chances are we're all guilty of this, and especially towards God. In today's message, Pastor David will teach you the core message in the book of Malachi. In his study, you'll learn the importance of worshipping God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength with sincerity and reverence.

Whether we have children of our own or simply know others who do, we'd probably all agree that the love of a parent is a force to be reckoned with. As a matter of fact, many would go so far as to sacrifice themselves for the well being of their children. But what about when it comes to salvation? In today's message, Pastor David reflects on the heart of Paul, who stated he would forsake his own salvation for others. In today's message, you'll gain a better understanding of the sacrificial love that God has for humanity.

If we were to go around asking non believers how they would execute justice and mercy at the same time, many of them would probably be pretty stumped. However, we as believers know that this is possible by none other than The Cross of Calvary. In today's message, Pastor David will teach you the importance of living out a just life, yet extending mercy to those who falter. In his study, you'll learn that while it might be tempting to cry for justice over the wrongs of the world, we would do well to remember the mercy we've received.

Whenever we received discipline or stern warnings from our parents as children, it probably didn't feel as though they were doing so out of love. However, as we look back with hindsight, we're often quick to recognize that it was because they love us that they did so in the first place. In today's message, Pastor David will remind you that God's desire for us is to grow in love and relationship. In his study, you'll learn how God will sometimes use trials or struggle in our lives to get us back on track should we lose our way.

Each and every one of us would probably find it rather difficult to believe if a brother in Christ claimed that God told them to marry a prostitute. However, travel back in time almost three thousand years and we come to the account of Hosea, who God used as a final warning against Israel's idolatry. In today's message, Pastor David reflects on the heart of The Father and how He sees the worship of false gods. In his study, you'll learn about the life of Hosea and the role his life played in depicting how God feels when we give ourselves over to idols.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see the spiritual realm that surrounds you? It would be overwhelming. Thankfully, God has prevented us from seeing it. While it might be wonderful to witness angels at work, it would be equally terrifying to see the forces of darkness fighting against them. As Pastor David explains in today’s message, it’s impossible for us to see the scope of everything that’s happening on a spiritual level, but you can have confidence knowing that God is fighting on your behalf.

As Pastor David continues our study of Daniel, we encounter some prophecy that pertains to events that are yet to happen. An anti-Christ is coming, and our world is ripe for it. Rebellion against God is rampant. Many choose to completely ignore and deny His very existence, making themselves the lord over their own universe. As Pastor David encourages us in today’s message, as a believer, you have reason for hope. Our God will have the final word, and Christ will overcome the evil that is destroying this world.
