In this episode, Pastor Joshua Ortega invites H2O staff Ryan Bradley to speak on Zechariah 13. Follow along as Ryan challenges us to reject what we pursue over God and to reject what pulls us away from God. We read through one chapter each week and then come together on Sundays in house churches to discuss what we read. Once a month, we gather together for a more typical-styled service, where we record the teaching and upload it as our podcast. This summer, we're studying the book of the prophet Zechariah.

July 10, 2023Today's Reading: Zechariah 9:9-12Daily Lectionary: Proverbs 25:1-22, John 19:23-42“Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare That I will restore double to you.”In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. What a weird statement from Zechariah today, “prisoners of hope”. What does it mean to be a prisoner of hope? Remember that the people of Israel had been in the habit of groaning about their captivity. They were used to whining about the fact they had been exiled from Jerusalem, from everything they had held near and dear, particularly the temple. They would groan and whine, the Lord would set them free and the cycle would repeat. The same goes for us. We are prisoners to our sin, but prisoners of hope. Zechariah calls the people to face the fact their hopes had been dashed, because their hope had been misplaced. It was a false hope that, once the messiah showed up on his war horse, everything could go back to the way it was. But the way it was meant turning away from God, rejecting God's promises. This is your daily battle with life as well. St. Paul reminds us: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. (Romans 7). Like the Israelites in Babylon, we have to face the fact that we constantly sin but we are also called the saints of God. This is why the prophet Zechariah says “Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!” We may be prisoners in our sin but our hope is in the Lord your God. Repent of your sorrow and lament, and rejoice in the salvation accomplished for you in Christ. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Ride on, ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die. Bow your meek head to mortal pain, then take, O God, your pow'r and reign. (LSB 441:5)-Pastor Kent Schaaf is Pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Little Rock.

How can we prepare the way for Christmas? Sometimes it is certain traditions, meals, Christmas movies. As a kid, one of our family's favorite Christmas movies was White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. It just became a tradition to watch it every year. I know most of the lines, the songs, the flubs they never edited. So when Eric and I started dating he had never seen it. One night we all sat down to watch it and at the end, I waited for Eric to say WOW that was amazing. He just looked at all of us and said, "so there really was no discussion of Christmas until the very last song?" Wait What!?! He was right. None of us never even noticed that. It is easy for us to know a story so well yet we miss a huge part of it that we thought was there the whole time. As we head into Christmas this week. Is there something we are missing? Not another gift, grandma's jello recipe or do we need another 1,000 twinkle lights on the house. No, I am talking about the preparation of our Hearts but preparing ourselves for the birth of Christ. So often we rush toward the holiday and completely miss it. In today's episode, we are going to walk through what God was doing before the angel Gabriel talked to Mary, before Joseph and she made their journey before the hark the herald angels sang to the shepherds. How did God prepare the way for Jesus to be born? And How can we prepare the way for ourselves this year?Merry Christmas to you and I hope you can see Jesus in every area of your Holiday. I will leave you with my favorite quote I found this week while studying the life of Zecharias and Elizabeth:"Zacharias was praising God not for the YES to his own desires, but the YES to all of Humanity's redemption.” Tara Leigh Cobble - The Bible RecapReflection QuestionWhich of these areas is where you want to take a next step for this week?1.

Reading Zechariah 11 is like reading a book or watching a movie in which your favorite character keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. Despite being warned by God not to repeat the mistakes made by their ancestors Zechariah's generation will repeat the mistakes of their ancestors. Sometimes God lets us make a series of mistakes so we will turn to Him to make things right.
