The Powerlessness of People
Pastor Hamilton
The teacher makes several observations about events in life (vv. 1–8), and the gives several conclusions based on those observations (vv. 9–22).
Lamb of God
Pastor Hamilton
In Revelation 5, John sees a grand witness to the Worthy One, followed by great worship of the Worthy One—the Lion, Liberator, and Lamb.
Making Your Way Through the Maze (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
Sometimes marriage, work, investments, family, friendships turn out to be a bust, not a blessing. If you were smart and rich maybe it would be easier, better, and make more sense.

When Life Is the Pits (part 4)
Pastor Hamilton
Like Joseph, we should 1) shine where God had put us (vv. 1–6), 2) stand when Satan tempts us (vv. 6c–18), and 3) trust God with the results (vv. 19–23).

Pastor Hamilton

Injustice in Jerusalem (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
The Jews made Jesus Pilate’s problem, and Pilate made him Herod’s headache. All of this is to remind us of the clear and powerful purpose of God in providing a substitute for us.

Injustice in Jerusalem (part 1)
Pastor Hamilton
Weak and sinful leaders gave in to wicked people. But the One who was moving all this forward was the omnipotent God. The ministry of Jesus was not in flames. The Jewish and Roman courts did not miss the ball. For this purpose Jesus came into the world, and this travesty of justice served his […]
