Pastor Levi and Lisa talk about The Book of Ruth and  3 Anchors on the Character of God. This is an episode of Pearls & Swine on the Evangel Houghton Podcast from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, May 27, 2026.

Doctrines, Part 6: Hope in the Character of God Description: In Part 6 of the Doctrines series, Pastor Eric brings together everything we've learned about God's character and answers a deeply personal question: If God is holy… where does our hope come from? Beginning in Isaiah 6, this message confronts us with the overwhelming holiness of God—a holiness so pure that it exposes our sin completely. Like Isaiah, the only honest response is: “Woe is me, for I am undone.” But that's not where the story ends. Turning to Lamentations 3, Pastor Eric shows how hope is born—not from minimizing sin, but from understanding God's mercy in light of His holiness. His mercies are not occasional—they are constant. Not limited—they are renewed every morning. This episode powerfully connects two truths we often separate: God's holiness reveals the seriousness of our sin God's mercy reveals the depth of His love Through repeated emphasis from Psalms 136—“For His mercy endures forever”—this message drives home a truth we need to hear again and again: God's mercy is not fragile. It is enduring. It is faithful. It is available. Pastor Eric also walks through the pattern of real transformation: A clear view of God's holiness A personal awareness of sin Genuine repentance Cleansing through God's provision A surrendered life of obedience This is not just theology—it's an invitation. Whether you're burdened by sin, discouraged by failure, or struggling to believe God still wants you, this message points you back to the unchanging truth: God's mercy has not run out on you. Key Themes: The holiness of God and the seriousness of sin Why mercy only makes sense in light of holiness God's enduring mercy and daily faithfulness The pattern of repentance and restoration Hope for the broken, the weary, and the failing “His mercy is not diminished by your failure—it endures forever.”

In week four of our ‘Wildfire' series, Pastor Dan Belshaw explores Acts 2:42–47 and the unmistakable fingerprints of God at work in the early church. As the Spirit moved in power, it produced a people marked by generosity, devotion, joy, and deep community. Dan unpacks how the work of God always produces the character of God, reminding us that transformation is formed through daily surrender and consistent rhythms centred on Jesus. This message challenges us to examine what is shaping our lives and encourages us to build lives that reflect the presence, power, and character of Christ.

Listen to this week's message as we learn about God's character, and how his character is tied to his love.

Title: How to Hold God to His CharacterScripture Reading: Exodus 32:7-14Series: Be Bold!What if the secret to being bold is not demanding what we want, but reminding God of who He has already promised to be? In this message, we examine the high-stakes negotiation between Moses and God following Israel's immediate fall into idolatry with the golden calf. Moses demonstrates how to live out the Greatest Commandment by interceding for a rebellious people, choosing to hold God to His History as the one who rescued them from Egypt. He further appeals to God's Honor, arguing that God's reputation among the nations is tied to the survival of His people. Finally, Moses holds God to His Heritage by pointing back to the unbreakable covenant made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We see that just as Moses advocated for Israel, we are called to a life where we are saved from sin and saved to a life of worship, ultimately finding our hope in Jesus, the ultimate intercessor who stood in our place. Approach God with boldness by anchoring your prayers in His unchanging character, His historical faithfulness, and His covenant promises.

Title: How to Boldly BarterScripture Reading: Genesis 18:20-26Series: Be Bold!Is it possible for a mere human to negotiate with the Creator of the universe? In this message, we explore Abraham's remarkable negotiation with God over the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, revealing how boldness is the Greatest Commandment in action. We see how Abraham demonstrates Bold Belief by appealing to God's character as a just, merciful, and righteous judge rather than trying to 'design' a god of his own making. This negotiation also exposes Abraham's Bold Burden for others as he intercedes for his nephew Lot, a practice of intercession that ultimately points us to Jesus—the one righteous man whose sacrifice saves the many. Commit to interceding for others in prayer this week, trusting in the perfect justice and mercy of the one true Judge.

In today's world it's hard to grasp the concept of forever. For us, anything longer than two-day Prime delivery seems like forever. That's a far cry from the phrase “. . . to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” we see in Ephesians 3:21. For us to think about an eternal God requires a rewiring of our brains—a capacity to imagine a God who can look at the surface of a full-length movie and see the entire story of humanity, rather than the clip that we can see at any given time.

For us to think about an eternal God requires a rewiring of our brains—a capacity to imagine a God who can look at the surface of a full-length movie and see the entire story of humanity, rather than the clip that we can see at any given time. Yet, the book of Ecclesiastes says that God has “put eternity in [our] hearts” (Eccl. 3:11).” Yet, the book of Ecclesiastes says that God has “put eternity in [our] hearts” (Eccl. 3:11). That means that on some level the Lord has given us the capacity to grasp the infinite. During this unit we've talked about God's character. His holiness. His justice. His omnipotence. His love. But what if, after every one of these, you attached a temporal modifier:— God is holy . . . for now.— He's all powerful . . . for now.— He loves you . . . for now. That would negate God even being God. The eternality of God is what grounds every other attribute of God. These aren't just temporary promises. They are for all time.

There are words that change everything. They put in perspective all the moments that came before and redirect all that are to come. A minister says, “I now pronounce you husband and wife.” An ultrasound technician says, “There's the heart beating!” The judge says, “Not guilty.” The doctor says, “You are cancer free.” There are words that change everything. They put in perspective all the moments that came before and redirect all that are to come. A minister says, “I now pronounce you husband and wife.” An ultrasound technician says, “There's the heart beating!” The judge says, “Not guilty.” The doctor says, “You are cancer free.” The Bible says, “He is risen!”” With just a few simple words, the world is transformed in a moment. There is hope where there was despair. The tables are turned; the script is flipped. It's a brand-new day. One Sunday morning two thousand years ago, three frightened women heard a sentence that didn't just change everything for them; it changed everything for everybody. This good news would topple empires. It would redraw maps. It wouldchange the way we mark time itself. It would alter eternity. It was the most life giving, paradigm shifting, world transforming sentence that has ever been spoken. It is the reason we are reading this session today. What was this sentence? He has risen!

This is message 4 in Understanding the Love of God Lamentations 3:22-36 Even in the darkest seasons of loss, suffering, and disappointment, hope is not found in circumstances but in the unchanging character of God. His mercy holds back the judgment we deserve, His compassion never fails, and His faithfulness never wavers. When everything else seems stripped away, the Lord Himself remains enough. Those who remember who God is, wait on Him, and trust His purpose discover that He has not abandoned them. His work is still unfolding, and even in affliction He is shaping His people for His glory and their good.

Semper Fi. Since 1883, it's been the official motto of the United States Marine Corps. It means “always faithful.” As far as the Marines are concerned, there is no such thing as a former Marine. The ethos of Semper Fi is expected to be demonstrated in every aspect of their personal and professional lives. Once a Marine, always a Marine. And pity the non-Marine who dares to sport a Semper Fi tattoo! Some tattoo artists even refuse to ink a Marine tattoo unless the customer can produce his record of service. “Always faithful” is a noble aspiration. But it is impossible for any human being to always be faithful in every single area of his or her life. For example, it may surprise you that divorce rates among Marines are among the highest of any branches of the military. We've all failed to keep a vow, pledge, or commitment. There is only One in the entire universe and through all recorded history who has never broken a promise. Never violated a covenant. Never left a commitment unfulfilled. His name is Yahweh, and He alone is always faithful. Oorah.” We've all failed to keep a vow, pledge, or commitment.

What is the very first word God uses to describe Himself?In Exodus 34, after Israel's failure with the golden calf, God proclaims His own name — and the first word He speaks is merciful.In this episode, Jeffrey and Christopher explore the Hebrew word rakhum, a word connected to the idea of womb-deep compassion. Together, they discuss what it means that God is not distant from human suffering but deeply moved by it.How does divine mercy shape the way we approach God in our weakness?How does it challenge the way we treat others?And how do we see this mercy fully revealed in Jesus?This conversation continues the series on the character of God — not just to understand who He is, but to consider who we are becoming as we follow Him.Key Text: Exodus 34:6“‘The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth…'” (NKJV)

In life, we all experience unmet expectations, natural suffering, and even human evil. When it happens, we all ask the same question: Why? Why did you let this happen, God? Why should I trust you, God? The disciples were asking the same questions when they faced the death of their hero and the end of their movement. Jesus answered their questions with the Farewell Discourse in John, starting with a deep and rich theology of the nature of God.

Who is God, really?In Exodus 34, after Israel's failure with the golden calf, God does something remarkable… He proclaims His own name and describes His own character. This moment becomes one of the most important revelations in all of Scripture and the most frequently repeated description of God in the Bible.In this opening episode, we explore why God reveals Himself in this moment of failure, how the story of Scripture demonstrates His character over time, and how Jesus ultimately makes the character of God visible.This episode begins a series on the character of God, not only to understand who He is, but to consider how knowing Him transforms who we become.

Character of God Aaron Wallace 02-15-26 by Pastor Aaron Wallace

Today is day 37 and we are on the section on the First Article of the Apostles' Creed on God the Father Almighty. Today we are on the first line: “I Believe in God” and studying question 37. 37. What does Holy Scripture tell us about the character of God? God is both loving and holy. God mercifully redeems fallen creation, while righteously opposing all sin and evil. The Lord Jesus Christ is the fullest revelation of God's holy love. (Exodus 34:6–7; Psalm 145; John 1:14–18; 14:9–10; Romans 5:6–11; Hebrews 1:1–3) We will conclude today with Prayer 79. For Mercy found on page 669 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019). If you would like to buy or download To Be a Christian, head to anglicanchurch.net/catechism.
