MALACHI: Bored with God
Pastor Doug Dent
When, in the name of Jesus, we show compassion for others, God is honored. The work of Christian discipleship is the antidote to spiritual boredom. When we accept God’s love for us and care for those God entrusts to us, we can truly gather on Sunday mornings to sing God’s praises. We can step into […]
ZECHARIAH: Prisoners of Hope
Pastor Doug Dent
Will all those efforts be successful? No, but maybe some will. As prisoners of hope we have the incentive we need to not give up. Since we follow the Messiah who proclaims peace, we will work, believing there is no place so dark and no situation so broken that that redemption cannot happen. God sent […]
HAGGAI: The Haggai Complaint
Pastor Doug Dent
When we know our place in God’s great economy, serving others interests before our own, then God is glorified. When we fulfill our calling to bless others as we have been blessed, then the church is alive. When God’s people rise to answer Haggai’s complaint, using the church building as a springboard for action, then […]

HABAKKUK: Fortuitous Events
Pastor Doug Dent
We may not like the way the world is today. We may not like our elected leaders. We may not feel we have much control over our own destiny. But it is just possible, even highly probable, that God is working behind the scenes to fulfill God’s vision for the world. We often simply cannot […]
NAHUM: Understanding God’s Judgment
Pastor Doug Dent
Jesus took God’s judgment on the cross. All our wicked and vile sins were nailed there with Him. He alone is our Savior. Nahum’s words to Nineveh serve as a warning for us, driving us to the cross of Jesus. For there we see God’s perfect combination of love and justice. God poured out God’s […]
