    Ryan Lowery continues Joseph's story as he's sold into slavery in Egypt, rises to manage Potiphar's household, refuses sexual advances from Potiphar's wife, and gets falsely accused of rape—landing in prison for doing the right thing.

    When Your Work Seems Like Nothing

    John Ross concludes the series in Haggai 2, where God addresses Jews discouraged that their rebuilt temple looks inferior to Solomon's original. God promises future glory when Messiah himself will visit, reminding them that his presence matters more than building materials. Ross explores the contagious nature of uncleanness versus holiness—warning that rituals and proximity to holy things don't sanctify us—and challenges modern believers who expect spiritual growth through osmosis. He encourages "sanctified daydreaming" about eternal fruits of our labor, especially for leaders and parents battling discouragement in the daily grind. Speaker: John Ross

  • When God's House Became Second Priority

    When God's House Became Second Priority
    2026/05/12
    John Ross examines the book of Haggai, where God confronts Jews who stalled temple construction for 16 years while building their own paneled houses. Through the prophet Haggai in 520 BC, God exposes their timing excuses and connects their material struggles—never enough food, clothing, or money—to spiritual disobedience. Ross explores how ignoring God's priorities for material ones brings emptiness even when we have plenty, and how the people's immediate response of fear and obedience demonstrates the power of God's Word to cut through materialism and half-heartedness.

    John Ross opens a four-part series on Israel's return from Babylonian exile, examining how God moved pagan king Cyrus to fulfill prophecy spoken 170 years earlier through Isaiah. He explores the 70-year exile as both judgment and grace, tracing how God orchestrated permission, provisions, and wealth for rebuilding Jerusalem and the temple. Ross connects this ancient restoration to modern believers, showing how God's faithfulness to bring Israel home ultimately paved the way for Messiah and demonstrates that nothing stops God from keeping his promises.
