Forever, O Lord, Your Word is firmly fixed in the heavens, Your faithfulness endures to all generations. You have established the earth and it stands fast.

A Bloody Harvest
Would you turn in your Bibles to Revelation chapter 14, Revelation 14, verses 14 through 20, the last section of the chapter. Let’s ask for the Lord’s help. Father in heaven, we come to You now, not out of mere habit or custom but because we need Your help, I need Your help if I […]
A Bottomless Pit
Well, it seems that the last few passages that I have preached from have been heavy. This is no exception. It’s a little intense. It deals with rebellion and contempt and immorality and judgment, and yet there is also a thread of God’s kindness and hope. I pray that we will be able to see […]
A Breakfast for the Ages
Let’s pray once again as we come to God’s Word. O, great God of heaven, wherever we are right now, help us to hear Your Word. We may be a block from this church or somewhere in Mecklenburg County, or in South Carolina or Colorado or Michigan or Britain or Lebanon or Nepal. Speak through […]
A Call for Endurance and Faith
Father in heaven, our prayer is simple and from the heart that You would give us ears to hear, that these moments together would not be wasted time but you would speak to us a word of rebuke, of comfort, just what each one here needs from Your voice. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen. […]

Dear God, this is our prayer, that you would show us Christ, give us grace now to receive Your Word. Your Word is powerful, but we are weak, and if the Word is to have its full effect, You must make our hearts good soil. You must show us Christ. And so give us ears […]
A Call to Wrestle
A Calming Christ in the Midst of a Storm
Gracious heavenly Father, we find our rest in You now and we look forward to the eternal rest to come. We claim the promise in Your Word from the Apostle Paul, who when he was in chains confessed that though he was bound, the Word of God was not bound. And so despite any quarantine […]
A Charge to Keep I Have
It’s the expectation we’ve encountered everything that God is doing in all of the feasts and all of the festivals and all of the sacrifices, everything He’s doing for us, so of course one chapter at the very end is going to be our worship response to Him. How can we not be moved to enter into a life of consecration to the God who dwells in our midst?
A Christmas Confession
Let’s pray. Father in heaven, as we come now to Your Word, we ask that You would give us receptive minds and attentive hearts, that we might hear what you have to say to us. We have listened all week to social media or talking heads or read reports in the paper, listened to friends […]
