Pastor Marshall Ochs | November 16, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Zechariah 13-14. These chapters point to the cleansing of Jerusalem and God's people from sin, the removal of idols, false prophets, and unclean spirits, and the coming of the Day of the Lord with Christ's second advent. The destruction of these corrupt influences is linked to the death of the shepherd (Jesus) and culminates in Christ's victorious return, where He defeats the Antichrist and establishes His reign. This vision is meant to offer both comfort and conviction, encouraging believers to find hope in God's ultimate justice and salvation while challenging them to grow.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | November 9, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Zechariah 11-12. These chapters continue the themes of advent, with chapter 11 focusing on the first advent, portraying Israel’s rejection of the good shepherd (Jesus), and chapter 12 depicting the second advent, where Jesus returns in glory and Israel repents. Zechariah uses vivid imagery of cleansing fire and the consequences of rejecting God’s leadership. Ultimately, the return of Christ will bring judgment on wickedness, restore His people, and reveal the truth of God’s salvation, prompting believers to live lives of holiness in anticipation of His coming.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | November 2, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Zechariah 9-10. These chapters reveal the coming of a humble yet victorious Messiah who will rule as both priest and king. God promises to conquer His enemies and redeem the nations, transforming former foes into His people. Through Jesus’ first coming, He establishes peace and freedom, inviting all to join His kingdom, while His second coming will bring judgment and final salvation. Believers are called to pray, serve, and live with urgency, trusting that the King is moving and His return is near.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | October 26, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Zechariah 7-8. These chapters begin with a question about whether to continue fasting for the fallen temple. God’s response exposes a deeper issue — the people’s motives were ritualistic rather than devoted, showing that true restoration requires transformed hearts, not just rebuilt walls. God promises that His return to Zion and the rebuilding of the temple are only shadows of a greater gathering fulfilled in Christ, when His Spirit fills believers and spreads His presence to the nations. Fasting, therefore, remains valuable today. It is not an obligation, but a spiritual discipline to deny the flesh, deepen devotion, and realign one’s heart with Jesus, the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | October 19, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Zechariah 5-6. In these visions, God reveals His serious stance against sin, showing wickedness will be confronted and removed. The visions also point to a cosmic struggle between rival temples and the ultimate message of Jesus — a priest and king who will build a new temple and unite all people. The key takeaway from Zechariah's experiences is the call to "lift your eyes" and recognize God's active work in the world, encouraging believers to shift their focus from earthly distractions to God's divine plan.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | October 12, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Zechariah 3-4. In 519 BC, as Judah faced opposition while rebuilding the temple, God gave Zechariah visions to encourage them, beginning with the cleansing of Joshua the high priest. This showed God’s forgiveness and restoration of His people despite their sin. These visions pointed to a greater future hope: the coming of God’s servant, the Branch. This King/Priest would remove the sin of the land in a single day and become the cornerstone of a new, Spirit-filled temple. Ultimately, Zechariah’s visions reveal that God's presence and power will fuel His people to shine His light to the nations, a mission now continued by the church.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | October 5, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Zechariah 1-2. These chapters call God’s people to move beyond merely rebuilding the temple and instead reorient their hearts and lives fully around the Lord, warning against the temptation to return to comfortable, worldly ways. Through visions, Zechariah reveals God’s plan to judge oppressive nations and expand Jerusalem as a city for all who will leave behind their old allegiances and follow Him. This forward-looking plan centers on Jesus, inviting everyone to forsake “Babylon,” the corrupt city of this world, and become citizens of God’s city, Jerusalem — a place of peace, freedom, and divine rule.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | September 28, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Haggai. The book addresses the Israelites’ failure to rebuild God’s temple after returning from exile, confronting their misplaced priorities and calling them to “consider their ways.” God challenges the people to stop focusing on their own homes and instead get to work on the temple — a call that now applies to us as we build up God’s kingdom within ourselves and our communities. When the people responded with obedience and reverence, God promised renewed blessing, showing that faithful “temple work” leads to fruitfulness and ultimately points us to Jesus Christ.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | September 21, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Obadiah. God condemns Edom for exploiting Judah’s suffering during the fall of Jerusalem. Through vivid prophetic imagery and the theme of "brother against brother," Obadiah’s message expands beyond ancient history, calling out all forms of betrayal, pride, and injustice between people. This ancient prophecy still speaks today, urging us to reject the way of Edom and embrace the way of Christ—where brothers restore, carry burdens, and sow to the Spirit.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | September 14, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Habakkuk 1-3. The prophet begins his book asking God the same questions we wrestle with today: How long, O Lord? Why does evil thrive while the righteous suffer? Through Habakkuk’s dialogue with God, we uncover a timeless message: God sees, God hears, and His answer is not a timeline but a promise—“The just shall live by faith.” No matter how dark the world seems, our response is trust, worship, and unshakable hope.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | September 7, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Zephaniah 1-3. Zephaniah prophesied during King Josiah’s reign, calling out the evil rooted in Judah’s past and warning of a coming global judgment — the “Day of the Lord” — which is a future event pointing to the return of Jesus. His message moves from universal destruction to personal repentance, urging humility and faith in God as the only proper response to the coming judgment. Zephaniah ends with a powerful hope: though judgment is real, so is restoration — the same God who punishes evil will gather His people, reward their faithfulness, and reign as both conquering King and loving Shepherd.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | August 31, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Nahum 1-3. This book announces God’s coming judgment on Assyria, the brutal superpower that once repented under Jonah but returned to violence, with Nahum proclaiming Nineveh’s total destruction as both a warning and a comfort. Theologically, the text reveals God's dual nature — slow to anger and a refuge for His friends, yet wrathful toward His enemies. Ultimately, Nahum stirs believers to reflect on global justice, personal witness, and the urgency of sharing the good news that anyone can move from being an enemy of God to His friend through Christ.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | August 24, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Micah 7. This chapter explores the role of the prophet as both God's representative to the people and the people's voice before God. Micah gives voice to Judah’s spiritual collapse, likening it to a barren field, but also lifts a personal prayer of hope and trust in God amid national rebellion and moral decay. The message ends with a call to follow God’s steadfast love and forgiveness, reminding the church—despite failure and pain—that God remains faithful and His redemptive plan continues.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | August 17, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Micah 5-6. These chapters cover a layered prophecy blending immediate historical context with future hope: while Assyria besieges Jerusalem, Micah foretells a coming ruler from Bethlehem—a shepherd-king who will bring peace and reign globally, which the New Testament identifies as Jesus. God promises to cut off worldly dependencies—military power, idolatry, and injustice—and calls His people to live with justice, kindness, and humility instead.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | August 10, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Micah 3-4. These chapters cover a contrast between the corruption of Judah’s leaders—driven by greed, injustice, and a loss of true worship—and God’s future promise of restoration, justice, and peace through His exalted kingdom. While Judah’s sins may seem distant from ours, the call to confession remains deeply relevant—not just confessing outward behaviors, but inner motivations. In light of Jesus’ resurrection and promised return, this prophecy invites us to live with hope, pursue repentance, and fix our eyes on the coming kingdom, exalting Christ above all else.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | August 3, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Micah 1-2. These chapters cover the opening of Micah, where the prophet delivers a fiery message of judgment to both Israel and Judah for their deep-rooted corruption and hidden sins. Micah warns of coming exile — yet also offers a glimpse of hope in a future Shepherd-King who will restore His people. It's a call to not just hear God's Word, but to be moved to repentance and trust in His coming restoration.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | July 27, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Hosea 13-14. These chapters explore Israel’s last prophetic warning before judgment, focusing on their tragic descent into spiritual emptiness through compromise and idolatry. Hosea 13 paints a vivid picture of a nation that forgot God and chose Baal, leading to death and destruction, while Hosea 14 offers a contrasting image of repentance and restoration. The message is timeless: God's ways are right—walk in them, and let His call to repentance stir both conviction and hope in your heart.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | July 20, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Hosea 11-12. These chapters show God reflecting on His relationship with Israel: as a loving Father who raised His son, Israel, only to be met with rebellion and rejection, which led to just punishment but also held a promise of compassionate redemption. Hosea urges readers to seek the Lord, trust His plans even amidst personal stubbornness, and understand God’s actions by remembering His past faithfulness as revealed in His Word.

Kelly Burke | July 13, 2025In this message, Kelly Burke teaches from Hosea 9-10. These chapters outline the judgment God will pour out on Israel. However, there is purpose in the judgment and pain. God’s heart desire is reconciliation and a people wholly devoted to Him.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | July 6, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Hosea 7-8. These chapters build on the theme of “knowing God” by exploring how obedience is the true evidence of knowing Him. Through the prophetic words of Hosea, we see Israel’s disobedience, political compromise, and false repentance, which ultimately rendered them unable to fulfill their calling to make God known among the nations.
