Throughout the Bible we're given many Promises of God, and some of them may seem impossible to the hearer… like the one we'll look at today on Light on the Hill.

When someone does you wrong, does this thought race through your mind, “Oooh they're gonna get it!” Our inclination may be to seek out vengeance, but as we'll learn today on Light on the Hill, that's territory reserved only for God. Pastor James Kaddis opens Exodus chapter 21 where we encounter the eye for the eye, tooth for the tooth passage. But many have totally missed the point. It's not encouraging vengeance.

Shortly after our friend, Charlie Kirk, went home to be with the Lord pastor James Kaddis delivered a message we want to share with you today. We're living in a day and time that many of us are mourning, grieving and hurt by the effects of sin. When we experience great loss, it's easy to fixate on that. But today we'll learn to elevate our perspective to what God is doing and wanting to do. Visit Second Kings chapter four, where a dear woman has lost her husband. In her desperation she comes to Elisha. What happens next is truly astounding. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

In the last several months, we have experienced an immense amount of loss. In the midst of that loss, it is very easy to be distracted by the things that we no longer have. But God wants to use that to draw our attention to what we actually do have. He takes what we often perceive as little, but what is actually abundant, and uses it to bring even greater fruitfulness and blessing. Today on Light on the Hill we are going to talk about that, as pastor James Kaddis opens Second Kings chapter four.

Pastor James Kaddis is in the early stages of a new study in Mark's gospel. And today we'll be looking at the opening verses in chapter one.

Anger is a poison that kills everyone it touches. There are some very big lessons to be learned from it and even bigger warnings! Today on Light on the Hill we open our Bibles to Exodus chapter 21, where we run across the statement, “An eye for an eye.” As you'll hear this isn't a license to engage in vengeful activity but has more to do with reconciliation and restitution.

Happy Thanksgiving and welcome once again to Light on the Hill! We'll be continuing our study of Exodus, with another visit to chapter 21. You may have heard someone say, the bible is corrupt as it encourages slavery! But as we'll discover today, we just may need to come to understand more of the context before reaching any conclusions. This chapter is all about slavery and violence. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Today on Light on the Hill we're going to talk about one of the most comprehensive discussions on slavery in the Bible. You heard that right… Slavery!

As we read through the Ten Commandments today on Light on the Hill it won't take long to come to the realization that we've broken every one of them, in one way or the other. And that should remind us that we're not capable of obtaining our salvation, but it should point us to the one who did it for us… Jesus! Join pastor James Kaddis in Exodus chapter twenty, where we'll first focus on some commandments that deal with our relationship with God.

We're in the middle of a new study in Exodus, and today we enter chapter nineteen. Those of you into serious mountain climbing know how important it is to be prepared.

At times we may not even recognize it, but there's an invisible war that is very real. It's a spiritual war, and the only way to be victorious is to rely on the strength and intervention of God, just as Moses did in Exodus chapter seventeen. Today on Light on the Hill we'll recall a time when the people of Israel had just watched God provide for them miraculously. And immediately after they are attacked by an enemy from the outside.

The death angel is about to pass over homes in Egypt, and those that didn't follow God's instructions experienced the worst thing imaginable. The death of their first born child!
