The real war that we fight every day cannot be seen but everything is affected by it! Today on Light on the Hill we're going to learn about a critical part of that battle, and more than ever, we must pay special attention to what's happening in that realm or we will suffer great loss.

Today on Light on the Hill we're going to pause and do something rather unique! And that is examine the many titles Christ gives to Himself as He writes the seven letters to the seven churches! This study will prove to be not only profound with respect to its content, but uplifting and potentially life changing!

Today on Light on the Hill we are going to talk about perhaps one of the greatest warnings ever given by God to the church. The warning is so severe and strong, if it were ignored, then results would be catastrophic. The church today is in grave danger of falling into this category and we must be very careful to heed the message.

Pastor James Kaddis will begin a look at the last of the seven letters to the seven churches. And this one is to Laodicea. And unlike the church we looked at previously, the Lord has really nothing good to say to this group! Today pastor James points out there's really a lot of bad teaching out there on this passage, so we need to clarify what Jesus meant by hot, cold and lukewarm!

As we continue through the book of Revelation here on Light on the Hill, we will spotlight the letters that were written by Christ to the churches at Sardis and Philadelphia. Christ's message to the both of them are very different but equally important. One church is rebuked and told to repent while the other is praised and encouraged. No matter what category you may fall under, it is critical to know that Jesus is coming soon. It's time to sober up and pay attention to what the spirit of God is doing because time is running out!

When we begin a relationship with Christ, typically we're on a great spiritual high, our love of the Lord is where it should be, and we're depending on the Spirit of God to help us grow. Then over time, there can be the tendency of drifting, and even dying in some area of our lives, spiritually speaking. Discover what to do when you're in that condition today on Light on the Hill.

There are many laws and commands found in the pages of the Bible. And while obedience to them is important, we must also stop to consider the spirit behind them! Today on Light on the Hill we'll hear of how the Pharisees got off track, as they focused entirely on the letter of the law when it came to the Sabbath. Jesus masterfully points out to them and us the spirit with which it was given. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Pastor James Kaddis' study on the letters to the seven churches in Revelation continues today with letter number four - the letter to Thyatira. Like several other churches, The Lord has something good to say. They were loving, faithful, growing and serving, among other things. But there was something terrible going on in this church too.

Last time we completed pastor James' look at the Lord's letter to Smyrna, in Revelation chapter two. It was a letter of encouragement and praise. Today, as we begin a study of the letter to Pergamum, we see a very different tone from the Lord. Pergamum had fallen into the hands of false teaching. They were compromising. The Lord's response? Repent! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Today we return to our exciting study of Revelation. We'll start by looking at the Lord's postcard to the church in Ephesus. While they were commended for some things, they had left their first love. It happened to the Ephesians and it's still happening to Christians today. If things aren't where they used to be in your relationship with Jesus, today's message will show you how to get back on track.

Today we begin a look at the first of seven letters Jesus gave to seven different churches in Revelation. What do you suppose Jesus would say if He stopped by for a visit to your church? Would He commend you and say keep that up? Or would He offer some words of correction? The church at Ephesus received both.

In Revelation the apostle John receives a vision of the glorified Savior. Fortunately for us, he wrote it down. And we're about to read his incredible description of what he saw.

Here on the weekends, we're traveling through Mark's gospel one verse at a time. As we return to chapters two and three the Pharisees are claiming Jesus was breaking the Sabbath law! But what they failed to realize is the spirit of the law. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Today we'll be completing our journey through Exodus with a visit to chapter forty. Now this chapter ends with the establishment of the Tabernacle. That's consequential because it is the visible sign that God is dwelling amongst his redeemed people! We learn something important about our redemption, but also what it means to properly worship the Lord.

God desires to bless us in ways far beyond anything we could ever imagine. The problem is that we often limit those blessings by refusing to do things His way. We think our path is better, faster, or easier. But the truth is simple: when we follow His instructions, He shows up. Are you ready to open that door?

God intended for us to be holy, but are we? Today on Light on the Hill we'll be inspired by the children of Israel in Exodus chapter 39, as they did all that God commanded Moses. Seen even in the assembly of the priestly clothes. It's a good and needed reminder to us to do things exactly as God commands, and as we do, we become the beneficiaries of all that He wants to give us.

Without a doubt there is only one God and we are not Him. He created us. He breathed life into us. He calls us to become what He wants us to be and only then can we do what He wants us to do. Nowhere in that divine order do we find room for self will. We'll discuss this vital truth from Exodus 39 today on Light on the Hill!

Get ready for a wonderful time in the Word, as we turn in our Bibles to Exodus chapter 38 here on Light on the Hill with James Kaddis. God has given us so much… whether it be precious time, money, or even our family! Question is, are we being good stewards? Today we'll be encouraged by the great obedience and stewardship of a group of people, and see how God honored and blessed them because of it.

Pastor James Kaddis is nearing the conclusion of a study in Exodus, with an eye on chapter 37 today. We're about to discover why it's so important and critical that we follow God's instructions, with no deviations. We see a great example of this in the building of the Ark of the Covenant, as it was built exactly the way God wanted. If they didn't follow the letter of the law, the nation of Israel wouldn't be able to worship God as He intended.

So glad you've joined us, as we pick up where we left off in Mark's gospel chapter two. We'll start with verse fourteen, where Jesus calls a despised tax collector to come and follow Him. That would seem like a strange pick to many in that day, as tax collectors were a hated bunch. So why would He do that? Let's explore that together now.

Genesis chapter 1 declares that we were created in God's likeness and image. When we truly understand that, we realize we are called to be creators under the discipline of God's rules for design. You do not want to miss this study because in Exodus 37 we will learn exactly what that means and how it shapes every part of our worship and work.

It is a myth to believe that God will never give us more than we can handle, because the reality is our lives are filled with circumstances that are far beyond our ability to navigate. And those are opportunities for us to lean on the Lord and draw on His resources, and by the Spirit. Today on Light on the Hill we'll be encouraged by a group of people that did exactly what God commanded. And the impossible work was done by a miraculous God! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

God very often allows us to face the impossible so that He might demonstrate His power on our behalf, making possible what is otherwise impossible. Exodus chapter 36 gives us a great picture of this as the people of Israel were given a task that was far beyond their own capacity, yet by the filling and empowering of the Spirit of God the work was accomplished in a miraculous way.

We'll meet up with pastor James Kaddis in Exodus chapter 29. Before Jesus came and died for our sins the Priests would regularly make sin offerings, to provide a covering for the sin of the people. Today we'll see why that was necessary, and how it beautifully points to the Lamb of God who would become the sacrifice we need to remain in fellowship with God and spend eternity with the Lord.
