This Sunday was a guided worship experience with a mixture of songs, Scriptures, and devotional thoughts, all centered around the changing of the season as we shift into Autumn. It is a time of year that reminds us to slow down, to let go, to trust Jesus, and to be present wherever we are.

Mark Adams and our preaching intern, Barrett Starks, collaborated on the messages shared.

Chapter seven from our lesson book about the time during the Exile. There were some bright moments of hope throughout a dark time of despair, all of which began to point more and more to Jesus.

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt or asked hard questions, Habakkuk gives you permission—and a path toward hope.

Lesson six in the study, focused on the time that the Kingdom of Israel divided into Northern (Israel) and Southern (Judah) and ultimately fell due to corruption. However, God always saves a remnant, and he does not punish without the end goal of rebuilding!

God is patient, but not passive. Nahum shows us how divine justice deals with cruelty, and why that’s good news for the oppressed.

Chapter 5 of our overview of the Bible. This lesson focuses on the time after Joshua and the judges, when kingship was established in Israel. We discuss the ups and downs of both King and Temple and the role they played among Israel. God is our only true king!

When we elevate ourselves, we fall the hardest. Obadiah calls us to humility before pride ruins what matters most.

This class is based on chapter 4, covering the time after Moses up until the time of the Kings. Joshua led the people to many great victories, to the point of dividing up portions of the Promised Land to the various tribes. But all throughout the kingdom, people were sidetracked and distracted and ultimately turned to idolatry and violence, much like the people who had occupied the land before them.
