Joel 2:1-27 - The Day of the LORD, Part 1

June 9, 2024 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Joel 2:1–27, Joel 1:15, Hebrews 10:23–25

Events like the locust plague described in the book of Joel are often classified as “natural disasters.” But natural disasters often lead us to ask questions: Why did this happen? Where was God when this happened? Why did this happen here and now? Why did it happen to those people, or to us? Have we done something to offend God? Is God trying to get our attention in some way?

Joel framed his answer using the phrase, “the day of the LORD,” five times in three chapters. What did Joel mean by that phrase and why should it still be important to us in our own day and time? Just how does the prophetic book of Joel apply to us today? Is it about eschatological predictions, eschatological promises, or both?

Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through most of Joel 2 in Part 1 of this two part series on The Day of the LORD.

Watching and Waiting: The Minor Prophets - The Village Chapel

July 28, 2024 • Pastor Matt Pierson • Habakkuk 2, Psalm 115:2–8

Watching and Waiting The Minor Prophets: Habakkuk 2 The Village Chapel - 07/28/2024 The Old Testament prophet Habakkuk asked God some sincere and hard questions in chapter 1, questions like, ‘How long, Lord? How long will you let evil prevail?’ Now, in chapter 2, Habakkuk has positioned and postured himself to watch and wait for the Lord’s answer. God does indeed answer, but his answer curiously is…wait for it! What can we learn and apply from Habakkuk in our own lives? How do we embrace the long journey of faith, and give all that we are both ambitious and anxious about to the Lord as we wait for his answers? Join Pastor Matt as he points us to the faithful God who speaks, who answers our hard questions, and who promises to make all things finally and fully right.

Wondering and Wrestling: The Minor Prophets - The Village Chapel

July 21, 2024 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Habakkuk 1:1—2:1, Psalm 18:6, Psalm 22:1–2

Wondering and Wrestling The Minor Prophets: Habakkuk 1:1-2:1 The Village Chapel - 07/21/2024 Habakkuk was an Old Testament prophet who lived in a time marked by acrimony, wickedness and violence. With that difficult context and yet, given what he believed to be true about God, Habakkuk had some honest questions about God’s silence and God’s sovereignty. What did Habakkuk do with his questions? He took them directly to the Lord and then waited expectantly for God to answer. Just what were those questions and how did God answer them? Join Pastor Jim as he opens up chapter one of Habakkuk to show us that even in our times of greatest difficulty, God is neither inactive, incapable nor indifferent; God knows and cares about our times of wondering and wrestling. The Village Chapel exists to glorify God through the teaching of His word, through heartfelt worship, and by connecting people with opportunities to live lives of real significance, serving God and their neighbors as a local community of faith.
