No Little People (Zechariah 4:8-14)

Francis Schaeffer once said, "There are no little people, no little places." The prophet Zechariah reminds us that we should never despise the day of small things. In this message, we learn...
That spiritual growth is a process rather than the flipping of a "light switch"
Who is Zerubbabel, and why is he important?
How we can grow discouraged at lack of growth or slowness of progress
God's promise to watch and care for the blameless
The need for godly leadership in the 21st century

Help from Above (Zechariah 4:1-7)

Zechariah's vision of a lampstand teaches that God will generously give His Holy Spirit and all the tools necessary to obey. In this sermon, we learn...
That God sometimes spoke in dreams and visions
The historical background of Zechariah
How we are tempted to rely on our own strength instead of God's
God's promise to care for you and overcome your biggest obstacles

Peace in the Pandemic (Habakkuk 3:17-19)

A message of hope as our world staggers under the coronavirus. In this study of Habakkuk 3, we see...
How God wants us to respond with faith in a crisis
An uncanny parallel between the days of Habakkuk and our own
Habakkuk's example as "one who clings" to God in hard times
What to do when news only seems to get worse
How God's presence brings joy even during disaster
