When Is It “A God Thing”?
To jump to the message, use the Chapters feature in the video controls. Joel has a lot on his plate: hungry locusts, deadly drought, rain, a miraculously full harvest, and overflowing wine casks. And we have our modern-day equivalents: dramatic rescues, the sudden loss of a job, miraculous recovery from an incurable illness, and hurricanes that devastate communities … or turn harmlessly out to sea at the last minute. Which of these are the “God things?” The answer lies in…
Making Cents of Shrewdness
To jump to the message, use the Chapters feature in the video controls. This text is called the “The Parable of the Dishonest Manager” in some translations, but that only tells part of the story.

It’s Not About Us – Guess Who It Is About!
To jump to the message, use the Chapters feature in the video controls. Narcissistic people are a cross we often must bear. We instinctively recoil from narcissistic behavior, even when we see it in someone we admire — like the ancient prophet Elijah. In today’s text, we find the poor man sobbing under a broom tree in the Negev, and it’s not a pretty sight. God helps him understand that it’s not all about Elijah. It’s about Someone Else. Based…
