Nahum

Liberty

As America marks 250 years of independence, this message compares the freedom our nation offers to the far greater liberty found in Jesus Christ. Drawing from Luke 4, where Jesus reads Isaiah's prophecy in the synagogue and declares it fulfilled, this study looks at how spiritual freedom costs infinitely more than any earthly liberty, how it must be guarded against compromise, and why it was never meant to serve self alone. A call to remember that political freedom can be lost, but the liberty found in Christ is eternally secure, and worth sharing with those still in bondage to sin.

Noah and the One Door

Noah faced a task that made no sense to him, building a massive ark for rain he had never seen, for a flood no one could imagine. He did not need to understand it. He simply obeyed. This message walks through Noah's obedience in Genesis 6 and 7, the ark's single door, and what it means that God Himself shut Noah in and shut the rest of the world out. It is a call to trust God's word even when it seems impossible, and a reminder that there is only one way to be saved, both from the flood and from judgment still to come.

Nahum

The book of Nahum is only three chapters, easy to overlook, and it is not even directed at Israel or Judah. Yet this study on Nineveh's judgment reveals the character of God Himself: patient, merciful, and unwavering in justice. A hundred years after Nineveh repented under Jonah's preaching, the city returned to violence and idolatry, and Nahum announces that God has not forgotten. This look at Nahum's three chapters traces God's justice, His mercy, and His protection of those who trust Him, along with pictures of Christ as our Stronghold, our Judge, and the One Who bears God's wrath in our place.

Beware of False Prophets

False prophets rarely announce themselves. Jesus warned that they come disguised as sheep while inwardly they're ravening wolves, and the only way to spot them is by their fruit. Working through Matthew 7:15-20, this message walks through how doctrine, character, and influence reveal what's really going on beneath the surface. It also looks at why spiritual discernment requires knowing scripture for yourself rather than relying on someone else's word for it, and why the danger often comes from within the church rather than outside it.

Micah

Who is a God like ours? Pastor Andrew gives an overview of the often overlooked book of Micah, a short but powerful prophet who ministered alongside Isaiah during a time of corrupt leadership and social injustice. The message traces three cycles of judgment and hope, showing how God demands justice because he is holy, yet delights in mercy. Along the way, key prophecies point straight to Jesus, including Micah's prediction that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. A great introduction to a small book with a big message.
