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.

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.
