The Christian life is full of ups and downs - rarely in that order.

"The parents eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." What did the exiles in Babylon mean by this proverb?

As we continue our series in Matthew’s gospel, John preaches from Matthew 12:1-14.

Have you seen this, son of man? This week, Tom takes us on a tour of the House of God as seen in the vision of Ezekiel 8-9.

Through Ezekiel 4 - 5:17, Tom shows us the sobering messages God gave to his servant.
