Examining our own Hearts
1 Samuel 16
Death to Life
John 11
No Barriers
Acts 8:26-40 The story of the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch is a reminder that because of Jesus, there are no more barriers between us and God. In this story we see God overcome three barriers (1) the eunuch’s lack of understanding concerning Jesus, (2) the eunuch’s sin (3) the eunuch’s imperfect body (which excluded him from worship). There are no barriers which exist between us and God that God is not able to overcome. The eunuch’s response is to…
Looking to our Forever Home
2 Peter 3:13; Isaiah 65:17
The Final Straw
1 Samuel 15:1-11
Joyful singing in evil times
Habakkuk 3 By the end of Habakkuk 3, through his conversation with God, the prophet has moved from his initial state of perplexity and questioning, to a state of confident joy. How? By looking ahead (2:6-20), looking back (3:2-15), and looking up (3:16-19), Habakkuk learns to confidently and joyfully trust God despite the darkness and evil that looms over him and his people.

This solution seems perplexing to Habakkuk! God’s answer in Ch 2 helps Habakkuk see that he is not ignorant, nor inactive, or absent. He will bring justice.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27
The day of the Lord is near
Zephaniah 1:1-2:3 In response to Judah’s sin, God announces that he will judge his people. Zephaniah highlights the reasons for and nature of this judgement, while in 2:1-3, there is a glimmer (if nothing more) of hope for the righteous remnant. The themes of God’s comprehensive judgement and hope will come out again in part two, next week.
A time to search our hearts
1 Samuel 11:14 – 12:25 Now that their search for an earthly king is over, Samuel challenged the Israelites to search their hearts before the LORD. God has been faithful in keeping the covenant. But will his people do the same? This passage calls us to examine our own hearts. Will we continue to serve God and obey his voice?
The comforting severity of God (Part 2)
Nahum 2-3
