We were spiritually dead, disobedient, and doomed. But God... made us spiritually alive when he raised us up with Christ because of His grace and love for us.

This is a re-recording of the sermon after a technical "glitch" by Pastor Trent!

We're starting a new series today in the book of Ephesians! Listen as we look at the first two verses and learn about how Paul conveys his pastoral heart for the Ephesian believers by writing a letter to them that focuses on who they are in Christ and how they are now to live in light of their new identity.

 Obadiah is a prophet of doom for those who work against the people of God. God may give them a season of victory, but their destruction will come when he is ready. We must accept that God’s will sometimes includes suffering and difficulty, but his promises point to his eventual reign and creation’s restoration. God will not allow his people to suffer forever.

The prophet Micah addresses the abuses and difficulties that the Hebrew people faced under various oppressors but reminds the people that God will vindicate Israel and create an eternal hope for all the world. God will be their warrior and their king. Even in the darkest times, God promises he will show up. While the world around us may appear to be falling apart, God assures us that in his time he will set all things right.
