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. It's interesting that Mark immediately delves into Bible prophecy! He first shares what the Bible stays concerning the future, and then compares it with what's going on in the present.

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. You train for it, have the right shoes and equipment. But imagine trying to climb a mountain with sandals on, and none of your climbing gear! That's where we find Moses. He was willing to brave the climb because he desperately wanted to hear from God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

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.

We're in the middle of a new study in Exodus, and today we come back to chapter fifteen. We all go through adverse circumstances, and when we do we need to be careful how we react to them.

Today we'll be putting the finishing touches on our series in the epistle of James. In a time of great spiritual warfare, affliction, illness or suffering it's a good idea to look up and pray. While we as Christians know we should do that, it's often neglected at such times isn't it? So let's be encouraged now to pray, seek the Lord, and put Him first in all that we say and do.

Want a good picture of what hardening your heart against God, or choosing not to obey the Lord, leads to? Just turn to Exodus chapter twelve! 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! It's a reminder of what sin will do to us, and why we need to obey the Lord in all things. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

It goes without saying that our world is getting darker. The lies are everywhere you turn and the darkness is manifesting in ways we've never seen before. As the darkness increases, we have been given an obligation to live as children of light. We can't look back and we can't back down.

The natural consequence of sin is death and death is inevitable for all mankind as a result of sin. There is only one way out.

If you ever want to see what can happen when we harden our heart towards God, just look at Pharaoh. When he did this repeatedly, he along with the people of Egypt suffered the worst thing imaginable… the first born would die! Unless they listened and obeyed what God said. There's something we can learn from this! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

Unless the rapture happens in our lifetime, each of us will face death. It's inevitable. For many, it's hastened because of a lack of willingness to do the right thing. No matter how or when it happened, we must prepare! Are you ready? That's the question God forces Israel to ask when being confronted by the death angel!

We'll join pastor James Kaddis in Exodus chapter ten at verse twenty-seven. The second to the last plague on Egypt was darkness, and that's not by accident! Today pastor James will contrast walking in darkness with walking in the light. One leads to destruction and the other to victory and life.

Sin is destructive in so many ways. When we yield to it devastation is right around the corner. That's why God hates it. This is the scariest part about things going dark; it always brings death. Today's study in the Word will serve as a powerful tool to effectively demonstrate that truth! It's time to seek the light!

Just look around today and it's not hard to see that we are getting very close to the coming of the Lord! If we know and really believe that, it should completely change the way we live. We're running out of time, and we must make the most of what remains. Let's talk about it right now on Light on the Hill. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

Sin demands judgement because God is righteous. When God executes His judgement, it becomes the natural extension of the consequences that sin produces. That's why the destructive locusts we read about in Exodus chapter ten make so much sense! Today on Light on the Hill we continue to learn about God as we look at His judgement. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

We're developing a study of Exodus and currently examining the plagues of Egypt. If you've ever been in a hailstorm, you know how it can so easily damage your property. But imagine hail so big that if it hit you, you'd die! That was the reality for the Pharoah and Egyptians who didn't fear the Word of the Lord. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

We were born in a condition of depravity and that condition has condemned us to eternal judgement. God knew this would happen and He made a way out. Mankind still resists the grace of God and as a result accelerates the path of judgement in their lives. This is the truth about our salvation; God will not stop. He will make every effort possible to bring us into His comfort and peace. We are the only ones that can reject and throw it away. Pastor James Kaddis shows how hard God will work to reach out to man's hardened heart. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

Pastor James Kaddis is leading a study of Exodus and today we head back to chapter eight. We're really getting to know God better as we come to recognize and understand His judgement.

To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

If you want to know more about God, the best path to understanding Him is through his Word. One of the best places in the Bible to accelerate your learning is through understanding His Judgement. Get ready, because today on Light on the Hill we're going to take you through an accelerated course! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

Today we return to pastor James Kaddis' verse by verse study in James. We left off in chapter five. When we know what is right or good, but choose not to do it, that's a sin. It's not hard to see, in this day and age, there are many Christians who are choosing not to get involved, or are refraining from saying something that needs to be said. So let's take this to heart.

Today on Light on the Hill pastor James Kaddis says, Be careful what you choose to worship because God will let you have it, and when you get it, you'll wish you never did. Why is that? Because anything you choose to worship that isn't the true and living God, will eventually destroy you. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

In Exodus chapter seven God shows up as Judge! And pastor James Kaddis believes it's a good place to turn to to learn about the judgement of God. He'll point out a few noteworthy lessons flowing from it today on Light on the Hill. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

God always demonstrates His righteousness by honoring His Word. When we refuse to obey or follow it, we create grave consequences for ourselves. You can't fake a genuine work of God, and the more you try, the greater the problem. This is why God's judgement is the best teacher and class is in session today on Light on the Hill.

Exodus chapter six powerfully shows us a slavery or poverty mindset amongst a group of people and leaders, and how devastating it can be!

Time is the most valuable commodity we have and it's a precious gift from the LORD! If we know that's true, then we'll stop being presumptuous about the days to come, and we'll be grateful for what little time we have left!

Our decisions have consequences. As parents we realize that and seek to teach our kids that valuable life lesson. Today on Light on the Hill we turn to Exodus chapter five where we discover a decision that has a huge consequence. It has to do with obedience to God and trusting God. We'll also learn a thing or two about how the devil works to disrupt that. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

When God calls you to do something have you ever thought, “I can't do this, or you've got the wrong person!” We can so easily notice our frailty, disability or inability and start to question God, thinking we're unusable. Moses felt that way, as you'll hear today on Light on the Hill. But pastor James Kaddis will point out that when we make this mistake it can rob us of every wonderful opportunity that God wants to put in front of us! And we can't afford to make that mistake.
