Zech 4.1-14 | Ps Alex Huggett | 09.08.2026Part of a series on BBC's mission and valuesSummaryWhen the Israelite exiles returned from Babylon to rebuild the temple, they faced immense opposition, financial strain, and physical rubble. The project stalled for 18 years. It was against this backdrop that the prophet Zechariah received a vision of a golden lampstand continuously fed by two olive trees.The angel explained the vision with one of scripture's most famous replies: ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of armies.'The obstacles before the Israelites were a massive mountain, but God promised to level them. The work would not be completed by human strength, political power, or military might, but by the continuous, sustaining oil of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, this vision points to Jesus Christ—our true Priest and King—who fulfils these offices and pours out the Spirit to bring the light of God's presence into the world today.As a modern church, our vision of ‘God's kingdom transforming lives' can feel just as overwhelming as rebuilding the temple. We face our own mountains of indifference, financial strain, and personal struggles. Yet, the promise remains the same for us.Spirit-empowered ministry and living look like four things:Prayer: A Spirit-empowered Christian is a praying Christian. We are called to persistently "pester" God—asking, seeking, and knocking—trusting that the Father desires to pour out His presence on us.Faith: There is often a terrifying gap between what we are capable of and what God calls us to. Faith steps into that gap, trusting that God will level the mountains before us.Obedience: While the work is achieved by the Spirit, it is not passive. The Israelites still had to lay the stones. We must still actively love, serve, and proclaim the gospel, stepping out so God can move.Holiness: We are now the temple where the Holy Spirit dwells. We must align our lives with the holy ways of Jesus, even in a profane world.Whatever mountain you are facing today—whether it is financial struggle, wayward children, health battles, or simply feeling ill-equipped for God's work—the answer is not looking at our own lack of resources. The answer is looking to the One who can do anything through us.The task is beyond us, but it is not beyond God.‘Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.'Reflection and Discussion QuestionsIcebreakerShare a time when you faced a task or obstacle that felt completely overwhelming. What was your initial reaction, and how did you get through it?Discussion QuestionsContext: Why do you think it was important for the Israelites to be reminded that the temple would be built by the Spirit rather than human strength?The Vision: In Zechariah's vision, the olive trees continuously feed the lampstand with oil. What does this imagery teach us about how we should be sustained in our daily lives and ministry?The "Mountains": The sermon mentions that the returned exiles faced "mountains" of rubble, opposition, and financial cost. What are some of the "mountains" our church or community faces today?Prayer: The sermon emphasizes "pestering" God in prayer (Luke 11). How does this challenge or encourage your current prayer life?Faith: Faith is described as stepping into the terrifying gap between what we can do and what God calls us to do. Can you share an area where you feel God calling you to take a step of faith?Obedience: We are reminded that "spirit empowered ministry is not a passive thing." How do we balance working hard for the kingdom while ensuring we aren't just relying on our own might and power?Holiness: The sermon notes that we live in a "profane world." What are some practical ways we can maintain our focus on holiness without burning out or serving out of guilt?Personal ReflectionIdentify Your Mountain: What is the biggest obstacle in your life right now that you are trying to overcome by your own strength? How can you surrender it to the Holy Spirit this week?Evaluate Your Source: Are you running on your own "oil" (human effort) or being continuously fed by the Spirit? What is one habit you can change to better connect with God's presence daily?Step of Faith: What is one specific, practical step of obedience you can take this week that requires you to trust God rather than your own abilities?© Bentley Baptist Church Inc. www.bentleybaptist.org

We are now reading of the more serious developments in the life of David: the full extent of the trouble that Nathan the prophet had said would come upon him as a result of his sins of adultery and murder.  His son Absalom has a conspiracy to seize the throne and David flees from Jerusalem saying, “If I find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me back … but if he says, ‘I have no pleasure in you , behold here I am, let him do what seems good to him.”  [2 Sam. 15 v.25,26]Then “David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went” [v.30]. We note how the Mount of Olives also features in the life of David's ‘greater son,' Jesus, “it was his custom” to go there [Luke 22 v.39].  Jesus ascended to heaven from here and will return there [Acts 1 v.11-12] and cause it to split in two [Zech. 14 v.4] and surely that last event will be a key factor in God's physical judgements on our godless world! The vision in Revelation invites us to read it as a literal event, for together with the reference to “Armageddon” we read, “…there were flashes of lightning , rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake.” [16 v.18]The last verse in our chapter in Jeremiah (19) is also relevant to our thoughts, “Thus says in LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, behold, I am bringing upon this city and upon all its towns all the disaster that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their neck, refusing to hear my words”   Today, God's word is available to be read in every language, but how many “hear” by properly reading it?  In God's perception of humans today, nearly all are stiff-necked!  Let us make sure we are not. Let us become like Abraham of whom we read today in Romans ch. 4; “No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.   That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.”  But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, but for ours also.  It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead, Jesus our Lord.” [v.20-24]  May no distrust, no disbelief make us waver – but instead may we “grow strong in faith” and so “find favour.”

Preacher: Rev. Harald Schoubye - Though we have died with Christ in Holy Baptism, and we are raised to new life in Him, we find “another law waging war” in our body and life, that is, between our old Adam and the new man (Rom. 7:23). By the Spirit of Christ, we “desire to do what is right,” but we are not able to do so because “nothing good” dwells in our sinful flesh (Rom. 7:18). “Thanks be to God,” therefore, “through Jesus Christ our Lord,” who delivers us from “this body of death” (Rom. 7:24–25). We rejoice in Him, our gentle King, who comes “righteous and having salvation” (Zech. 9:9). He speaks peace to our embattled hearts, and by His blood of the New Testament He sets us “free from the waterless pit,” and He returns us to the stronghold of our Baptism (Zech. 9:10–12). Though we “labor and are heavy laden,” He calls us to Himself and gives rest to our souls through His free and full forgiveness (Matt. 11:28), not because we are “wise and understanding,” but by the “gracious will” of God the Father, whom “the Son chooses to reveal” in love (Matt. 11:25–27).

“ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you–rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! [Zech. 8:23.]”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60‬:‭1‬ ‭AmpcYou don't need to be who you are not in order to please people!!

A crossover episode in which Zech swaps seats and appears as a guest on Martin Robb's care ethics podcast, Careful Thinking. Zech shares about his book, The Unthinkable Sacrifice: An Essay on Fatherhood, and discusses his own experience as a father and the ways French phenomenology has helped him think through his practice of parenthood. NEWSLETTER:Subscribe to our podcast newsletter and get ***40% OFF*** any Wipf and Stock book: http://eepurl.com/cMB8ML.

Proper 9: Zech. 9:9-12; Ps. 145:1-21; Rom. 7:21-8:6; Matt. 11:25-30 (James Touchton)

In this episode, Zech talks with Colby Dickinson about his many pilgrim journeys in the city of Rome. Together they ask: how does religious identity—or lack thereof—shape one's experience of places with historically thick spiritual meaning? What might it look like to encounter something beyond ourselves when our faith wanes more than it waxes? Finally, can pilgrimage still be meaningful when so often it seems caught up in the snares of  a consumer mentality?Book link: https://wipfandstock.com/9798385221042/sacred-pilgrim-secular-pilgrim/Newsletter: Subscribe to our podcast newsletter and get ***40% OFF*** any Wipf and Stock book: http://eepurl.com/cMB8ML.

Journey Through Scripture- Zech 7-8, Ezr 5-6 & Dan 6

Num. 10:1–10 Zech. 14:3–9 Matt. 24:29–36 1 Thess. 4:13–18 Will Jesus' return be partial and known only to the raptured few? Or will He come once in glory to judge and raise us up? In this message, learn the importance of setting our expectations well concerning the Second Coming of Jesus.

"Why does God say v3 'return to me and I'll return to you' if He intends to return to them before they return to Him?" "I think it's cool that vs16 God says he has returned even though the temple wasn't rebuilt. So was the temple truly symbolic as his dwelling place? Where is God dwelling then?" "Where do we get the idea that the Angel of the LORD, while being seen to be God, is in some way distinct from God? Is it reading too much into the OT to say that the Angel of the LORD is the pre-incarnate Jesus?" "Is the angel of the LORD distinct from God the Farther, Son and Spirit? If so how are they related?" "What is the measuring line in Zech 1:16? When it is used in other prophets, it is often used as an image for God's judgement, but hasn't God's judgement already fallen on Israel in the exile?" "Was the vision in part prophetic to Jesus? (as a carpenter)" "Is there a connection between the carpenters in Ezra 3, Zechariah 1, and Jesus being a carpenter?" "I don't understand the 4 craftsmen images?” "Is repentance a once off thing or something we need to keep doing as Christians?"

Zech 2:10,James 5:13,Psa 57:7 & 9,Psa 92:1,Psa 96:1,Psa 98:1,Psa 98:4,Psa 104:33,Psa 149:1-6,1 Cor 15:20,John 3:3-5,Rev 7:13-14,Isa 61:10,Isa 64:6,Rev 5:9,Psa 150:1-6

We seek to establish in the podcast on vs. 20-35 that many of the things said about the wicked by Eliphaz are pictured as judgments upon the wicked throughout the Bible. If that is so, what is wrong with Eliphaz speech? He is not wrong about the punishment of the wicked, but he wrong in classing Job among the guilty. Second, Eliphaz is not wrong about the judgment of the wicked, but do all these judgments work out in this life? Luke 16:19-31 gives us additional light from the New Testament. Lazarus laid at the rich man's gate, begging for things to eat, and having his sores licked by dogs fits Eliphaz' picture of the wicked man. On the other hand the righteous man's abundance and blessings seem to indicate him as a righteous man. However, things were much different than they appeared outwardly. The ultimate blessings of righteousness and penalties of wickedness do not manifest themselves always in this world.   The things Eliphaz says are the very things that have happened to Job. Fire consumes (15:30, 34; 1:16), marauders attack (15:21; 1:13-15, 17), possessions are taken away (15:29; 1:17), his wealth did not endure (15:29; 1:13-17), and the houses of his children crumbled (15:28; 1:19). The discussion above has sought to call attention to how the same vocabulary words and ideas used by Eliphaz were used by Job to describe his own experience.Jesus and Job  15:22 The wicked was destined for the sword. The LORD of hosts reckons the sword against His Shepherd declaring that the Shepherd will be struck and all the sheep scattered in Zech. 13:7. Jesus quotes a portion of Zech. 13:7 in Matt. 26:31 and Mark 14:27 and applies it to Himself and His disciples. Jesus too was destined for the sword.
