Whether we realize it or not, God shows up on a regular basis. The problem comes when others don't see it or even worse, refuse to see it. When you do notice it, what happens next? What will you do next? Let's give thoughtful consideration to that on Light on the Hill as we join pastor James Kaddis in Exodus chapter three.

From the beginning of the existence of the nation of Israel we have seen attempt after attempt to destroy the people of God and those attempts always fail. Not only do they fail, the people of God grow. This is especially true of Israel! Today on Light on the Hill we'll see an example of this in the upbringing of Moses.

We're just getting started with our new study in Exodus, and we'll join pastor James Kaddis in chapter one momentarily. Children are an asset not a liability! The Pharoah didn't understand that, and because he treated them as a liability Egypt never realized its full potential and was eventually destroyed. Let's see what we can learn from it, so we don't repeat these tragic mistakes. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29
The Bible gives us the truth about pride… it destroys and kills. No doubt that's why the enemy promotes and encourages it.

The greatest empire in the world destroyed itself quickly when it gave itself to do two things. They destroyed the lives of innocent babies and they cursed God's chosen people, the Jews. There are many lessons we can learn from this and every one of them are important. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29
Today on Light on the Hill we introduce the book of Exodus to you. Exodus is an extraordinary book that catalogues the journey of God's chosen people, and gives us an exemplary picture of what happens when we choose to walk against the purposes and call of God on our lives. The children of Israel were called by God to step away from bondage in Egypt into the freedom of His promised land, but that generation forfeited their opportunity to do so because of their unbelief.

Wouldn't it be nice to find a church with no problems, and no problem people? Of course we know they don't exist . And so it becomes necessary to learn how to deal with it. Today we're introduced to a problem within the church of Thessalonica. Apparently there were some in their midst that were taking advantage of the church. They were refusing to work.

Are you quick to ask people to pray for you, or do you shy away from that? Today on Light on the Hill, we'll see why we desperately need prayer. Paul realized, as should we, that he needed prayer to be effective and faithful in the ministry. We're to depend on God and our prayer lives are to reflect that. Pastor James Kaddis enters Second Thessalonians three today, and we'll emphasize the first few verses, where the apostle Paul requests prayer for himself.

The month of June has been characterized by the word “pride,” but pride isn't something to be celebrated. In fact God hates pride. Plain and simple. He hates it because it destroys mankind.

Pastor James Kaddis is in an end times series, based in First and Second Thessalonians called, “Living in the Last Days.” It's exciting to think about… Jesus could return for His church at any time! But will you be ready for it, watching and sober-minded? Or will you be asleep? Like the Thessalonians we'll hear about today, we can and should live in expectation of the Lord's return.

We may wonder at times as we look around the world, “Could it get any worse?” It's good to be reminded that Jesus is coming for His church, and if you're a believer you have a glorious future with Him to look forward to.

Here the apostle Paul describes the Believer's Walk. We'll learn through this study how to walk in a God-pleasing manner.

Life is a gift, and when lived God's way, it's the gift that keeps on giving. When the truth, wisdom, and counsel of God is resisted, things go very bad.
