Why The Bible

June 17, 2024 • Pastor Jill Shocklee • 2 Peter 1:16–21, 2 Timothy 3:16–17

We have 3000 years of manuscript evidence. It is a book worth preserving, and so, it is a book worth consuming! It has been lasted this long and it will last forever.

Praise

November 11, 2024 • Pastor Jill Shocklee • Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4:4

When Paul and Silas were in prison, they had the choice to sit in silence or make a joyful noise. They could have complained or they could have worshipped. They chose to praise God and the Bible says the prison was shaken to its foundation. Praise is a foundation shaker.

From Bad to Worse: Jezebel's Downfall

October 28, 2024 • Pastor Jill Shocklee • 1 Kings 16:29—19:10, 1 Kings 21, 2 Kings 8:25—9:37, Luke 12:32

This is a woman with pride. As she sat waiting in her lofty tower, aware of her imminent death, she was steadfast in her defiance of Israel and its God to the very end.

Tragic Tales: Lessons From the Life and Death of Judas

October 21, 2024 • Pastor Jill Shocklee • James 4:17, 1 John 1:9, Colossians 1:13, Ephesians 5:8, Romans 8:1

It is mind blowing to think that Judas could be a part of this movement, so close to Jesus Himself, seeing all the miracles, all the power, the lives changed, even the feeling in his spirit by walking with the Messiah in person, and yet be able to turn away so abruptly and with such consequence.
