Neither Silver Nor Gold - Zephaniah 1
January 16, 2025
What other gods could we have besides the Lord? Plenty. For Israel, there were the Canaanite Baals, nature gods whose worship was a rampage of gluttony, drunkenness, and ritual prostitution. For us there are still those same type of gods today. Gods of Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll; not to mention Football, Fitness, and Fajitas! Today on Hope From the Word, Pastor Bill Luebkemann will study the book of Zephaniah and a warning about the dangers of hardening our hearts to God. Here's Bill in a study shared at Calvary Chapel of Marlton.

Today on Hope From the Word, Pastor Bill Luebkemann continues his overview of the Old Testament minor prophets. Today we'll complete our look at Habakkuk. Last time, Pastor Bill was showing us that faith is improved through great struggle and that often God will allow things to get worse before He makes them better. And even though it may be difficult to understand at the time, it's for His glory and our good. That's where Pastor Bill begins now, in Habakkuk chapter one.

One of the most common reasons people say they don't believe in God is the problem of evil. People claim they just can't believe in a God who allows evil on earth. And it is perplexing, isn't it? Maybe you yourself have wondered how an all-powerful, loving God could allow such terrible things to occur on earth. Today on Hope from the Word, Pastor Bill Luebkemann will address that question. It turns out, it's a question that's been asked for thousands of years. We're looking at the book of Habakkuk, where the prophet wonders when God is going to step in and deal with wickedness and violence. Let's turn there now and join Pastor Bill.

Hello and welcome to Hope from the Word from Calvary Chapel of Marlton. Pastor Bill Luebkemann is the senior pastor and today he's continuing a series through the minor prophets and wrapping up the book of Nahum. Nahum had good news for the people of Israel. Their oppressors and those who sought to destroy them were themselves going to be destroyed. The lesson we learn in Nahum is one we see throughout the Bible: trust in God, not in your own strength. Here's Pastor Bill.

Today we continue our series through the minor prophets of the Old Testament with a look at the book of Nahum. Nahum had a very important message for the people of Israel, and his message, and the fact that his prophecies turned out to be correct, remind us again of the reliability of God's word. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann with a look at the book of Nahum.

Today we wrap up our study in the book of Micah, concentrating on chapter seven. Micah is another of the so-called Minor prophets with a very important message, God will protect His people, if His people will stay faithful to him. It's a good thing for us to keep in mind as well, as we look at Micah, chapter seven. Here's Pastor Bill, beginning in verse eight…

A warm welcome to each of you. Pastor Bill Luebkemann will be with us in just a moment as we present Hope From the Word. We've seen here in our world recently a heavy push for the unification of all religions. Interfaith services are on the rise, and the ecumenical movement is growing in popularity. But, what is it that sets our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, apart from every other so-called god out there? The prophet Micah asked a similar question. “Who is like this God?” Pastor Bill will direct our attention to the uniqueness and goodness of the one and only God here today. Turn if you would to Micah seven as we join Pastor Bill Luebkemann for Hope From the Word…

As many Christians know, there's much more to Jonah than just a fish story. In fact, as we'll find out in today's message from Pastor Bill Luebkemann, Jonah was a lot like many Christians today. They may be firm in their belief, but a little shaky when it comes to following the Lord's will for their lives. Perhaps that describes you? Are you running from God's will? In any case, the life of Jonah and the consequences of his disobedience will serve as a lesson for us all. So, join us and turn in your Bible to Jonah chapter three for today's edition of Hope From the Word with Bill Luebkemann.

Jonah is one of the books in the Old Testament dubbed the “minor prophets”, but that's not to say the message is minor. Jonah has many great lessons to teach us despite its relatively small size. It's more than just the story of a man who was swallowed by a big fish. Everything leading up to that rather amazing event is important as well. Today on Hope From the Word, Pastor Bill will show us the folly of running from God.

Pastor Bill will turn our attention once again to a people called the Edomites. Edom was a region northwest of Jerusalem, inhabited by the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. And the Edomites, like their forefather, were proud and always opposed the descendants of Jacob. And the Lord sent the Edomites a message of judgment through the prophet Obadiah. What do we have to learn from the Edomites? We'll find out as we join Pastor Bill for today's study.

God has many character traits; He is merciful, has infinite love, infinite power and is gracious, just to mention a few. But one of the characteristics that we can also appreciate is His faithfulness. We can rest assured as Christians that God will bring all His plans to pass. And we see his faithfulness demonstrated in Israel's history. We'll be looking at the book of Obadiah today, located right in between Amos and Jonah. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann…
