“Man is born for trouble, as sparks fly upward.” That is one thing that Eliphaz shares with Job, true but unhelpful in the situation. Pastor Carl emphasizes that even though we want to help, we ought to prayerfully measure our words so they would build up and heal and not tear down and destroy.

Ezekiel 40 – 48
Pastor Carl takes us through the descriptions of the new temple built during the Millennium reign of Christ. A glorious sight and a beautiful reality of Israel’s redemption and restored service to the Lord.
Ezekiel 38 – 39
A great battle is ahead between the enemies of Israel and the God of Israel. It would be a time of peace and safety back in the land the Lord returned them to, but the peace would be short-lived. But God would be victorious and Israel would finally know Jesus as Lord as a result!…
Job 1 – 3
How do the righteous suffer well? That is a question Pastor Carl poses in beginning a new study in the book of Job. Job is praised by God but Satan convinces God to test Job’s heart for the Lord. A very poetic and raw book filled with emotions that we can relate to, but know…
Ezekiel 37
The vision of the valley of dry bones point to our lives as Christians… once dead in our sins now brought to life by the blood of Christ and the breath of the Holy Spirit! However the main focus is the regathering and salvation of Israel after sure death.
Ezekiel 35 – 36

Ezekiel 33:21 – 34
Part of Israel’s problem was their shepherds… out for their own gain and not caring for the flock, teaching what is wrong and calling what is good evil. The Lord Himself will lead His flock, the lost sheep He will seek and find! But the sheep and goats will all be judged individually, it’s not…
Ezekiel 33:1-20
Ezekiel is called to be a watchman, to warn Israel of immanent judgment from God. But will they listen. As Christians we also have a warning to whoever will listen – “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” And yet, when we repent we find mercy at the foot of the cross.
Ezekiel 31 – 32
Psalm 1 tells us to be like a tree planted by the water… meditating on the law of the Lord day and night. Assyria did NOT meditate on the Lord. Neither did Egypt (who was comparing herself to the might of Assyria). The pride of self-made men and nations will be brought low.
Revelation 17 – 18
Bill Hepner talks about the scarlet woman, the scarlet beast and the fall of Babylon.
