Revering the Word

Zechariah was born in Babylon but is now back in Jerusalem serving as prophet and priest.  He is inspiring the people to continue to rebuild and has much to say about the future, the Messiah, and the restoration of Jerusalem.

Despite some of the sins and setbacks of David’s life we have much we can learn from his devotion to and relationship with God.

David was lonely and loneliness led him to God.  May grow stronger in God through loneliness.  Never forget his mercies are new every morning and the sun will come out tomorrow.

Haggai 2 We have a spiritual signet ring on our finger, yet God desires we would set our hearts to consider our ways.

Please take the time to evaluate this word and your life and put into action what God leads you to do.

Whether one experiences judgement of eternal life will all be base on whether they have trusted in Jesus.  Confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and God raised Him from the dead, get baptized and be saved.

If you want the historical context of Zephaniah please listen to the teaching on chapter 1.  

This is a rather short teaching.  In order to understand Zephaniah’s message please listen to the background given in chapter 1’s teaching.

In this chapter we go over an important review of Eschatology: The study of last things.  Zephaniah is speaking of God’s judgement not only upon Judah of his day but the future judgement that is coming upon our world. Will you escape it? How?

In this chapter Habakkuk writes a song about praising and glorifying God, even amidst trial and hardship.  It is a great lesson for us now or for preparation for our future.

In this chapter, God challenges Habakkuk to wait on God and live by faith, even amidst suffering.  One day God will restore. Until then he is to live by faith.

In this opening chapter Habakkuk has a complaint towards God.  Why are you not hearing my prayer and allowing for bad things to happen?  It is an honest question.  In this book God responds to the complaint.  Habakkuk may have forgotten about mankind’s failure to live for God rightly.

This book is a prophecy against an enemy nation called Assyria.  In this teaching I giver the history of God’s people and Assyria and help us understand when Nahum prophesied.  What is incredible is his prophecies came true.  There are some important lessons I share briefly in this message that spans and summarizes all three chapters.
1. God has judgement and wrath on his enemies and those who reject Jesus.
2. God knows who takes refuge in Him and his son Jesus.
3. God will restore blessing on Israel
4. God’s prophets and God himself are proven true be...
