The Mosaic covenant was broken repeatedly by the kings of Israel and Judah. The warnings of famine and exile, given long before in Deuteronomy, came to pass during the ministry of Joel. In chapter 1, we see the prophet calling God’s people to mourn and recognize the transpiring devastation as from the Lord.  

We take a look at the minor prophets in preparation for our new series. We test our preconceived knowledge and understand the circumstances in which they lived and importance of the Minor Prophets to our lives today.

We look at the miracle of the resurrection. We review some of the logistics of the event, and understand the complete trinity role in it. Lastly, we see the impact to believers of this greatest miracle.

We look at the miracle of Jesus restoring sight to blind Bartimaeus.

God desires fruit out of the lives of His people that brings glory to His name. Israel, like the barren fig tree, was not producing fruit for the Lord, but had rejected His word and were plotting to murder His Son. Their stewardship was withered like the cursed fig tree, ushering in the time of the Gentiles (the Church age).

We look at the miracle of the raising of Lazarus from the dead and how Jesus establishes the timeline to teach and the decision point we have knowing of this resurrection power.

We see the circumstances leading up to Peter cutting off Malchus's ear in the Garden and who was really in charge. We dive into why Jesus says to have a sword.

Jesus’ second feeding miracle in the wilderness is another great picture of a shepherd caring for His flock. Through this example, we learn that ministry can be both directed toward those in need and a tool for developing growing leaders.

Many are looking for that luck of the draw moment to rescue them from life’s challenges. In John 5, we see Jesus heal a paralytic that could not get himself into a known antidote of healing on time. In modern times, people are still waiting around the pool of lottery, border crossing and the like to find their moment of elevation. Would the church have a solution for whosoever desires to be whole of whatsoever ails them?

Without the Disciples knowing it is him, Jesus, challenges the disciples to fish again and they bring an unnatural haul of fish. We see how the disciples are waiting on this appearance of the Lord and a strong possibility as to why there are so many fish.

In the latter half of Matthew 9, we see that faith is seeing beyond your circumstances according to God’s will.

In moments of crisis, it’s difficult to think clearly or act effectively. Jairus, a ruler of a northern synagogue, whose daughter just died, demonstrates an effective way to approach God with honor and desperation to bring His power into a hopeless situation.

We see another sabbath healing, a woman with a severe spinal deformity. We see how she was unable to help herself, how we can be good ministers and how Jesus's call to her and subsequent healing is a great example of what he does in our lives.

People were healed when they touched Jesus's garment. We see futility of man's attempts and the identification of who Christ is, in his garment. Also, we learn of how our garments tell a story.

In this gospel story, as Jesus declares a man’s sins are forgiven, we see that a scornful heart will inhibit one’s ability to see God at work, even if it’s right in front of them.

In Luke 7, we find Jesus resurrecting a widow’s son from the dead, picturing our spiritual resurrection in Christ.

We see how the Centurion invested in good relationships and sought the things of God before he had a need. We also see the simplicity of authority and speaking on someone's behalf.

We see the Pharisees attempting to ensnare Jesus with a healing on the Sabbath in the Synagogue. Jesus expounds on the Sabbath and their laws, heals the man; restoring his hand to function.

Peter was questioned by a tribute collector about Jesus’ participation in the giving. What is a seemingly straightforward task of retrieval becomes a deeper lesson on the freedom and provision given to God’s children.

In our continuing series on Jesus's miracles, we look at the healing of the man who could not hear and had a speech impediment, often called 'healing of the deaf and dumb'. Jesus interacts very personally with the man and we see how this is a picture of what Jesus does in the life of a believer.
