What will keep us faithful like Naboth when opposition arises or suffering comes? Future rewards alone will not be enough for us to persevere as sojourners in a hostile world if we have not and are not tasting the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior through an active fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is with us and for us in the midst of suffering. Your suffering with Christ is never meaningless. Your suffering is always an opportunity to draw near to Jesus as he draws near to you.

A Glimpse of Glory

In the Transfiguration God pulls back the curtain just a little bit to give us a glimpse of who Jesus is so that we can have confidence through life’s often difficult pilgrimage that he will satisfy and exceed all our greatest expectations. Jesus is the Lord of Glory, the living God who comes to save his people in the most inconceivable way – by laying aside his glory and ultimately by laying down his very life to save sinners.

August 26, 2023 • Tim Cain • 2 Kings 2:1–14
How do you continue to follow God when you lose someone who has faithfully taught you what he is like? That is the question Elisha finds himself facing in II Kings 2. Knowing that Elijah is about to be taken up to heaven Elisha is faced with the difficult prospect of going on without him. However, before he leaves Elijah gives Elisha the chance to make one last request of him. What would he ask for? What would you have asked for? Will Elisha get his final request answered? These are some of the questions we will look at in II Kings 2.
The Fire of God: Redemptive and Consuming
August 19, 2023 • Wes Van Fleet • 2 Kings 1
Throughout the Bible, fire is often synonymous with God's presence. In this passage, we read of God sending fire on some people in judgment, while not sending it on others. Listen and hear how the Gospel transforms the fire of God from something consuming into something redemptive.
