Under the New Covenant nothing compels a gift: Paul writes instruction, not command, and verse 7 hands the decision to one settled heart at a time, chosen deliberately and in advance rather than under pressure. Pastor Adam makes the case that verse 10 joins provision and righteousness with a repeated “and” rather than offering a choice between them, argued carefully against his own instinct and against a colleague who reads it differently.

Before the wind, the earthquake, and the fire, there was a forty day walk and a cave. Pastor Adam traces exactly how Elijah got to the mountain of God, arguing that the places we dwell shape who we become, and that a specific, personal word from God is available to anyone willing to sit quietly long enough to receive it.

Hours after calling down fire on Mount Carmel, Elijah runs for his life and asks God to let him die under a broom tree. Pastor Adam opens a new series in 1 Kings with the man behind the miracle: before Elijah was a man of fire, he was a man of solitude, and God’s first response to his collapse was an angel bearing food, not a lecture.

Every believer has been given a gift by the Holy Spirit — but given for what, and for whom? Pastor Adam opens 1 Corinthians 12 to argue that gifts were never meant to build a platform, then asks the harder question: is yours sitting unused?

“Bless me, even me also, O my father.” Esau arrived moments too late, and many people live in that same posture. But if the blessing is already secured in Christ, the question is no longer how to get it — it is what activates it.

Four people in Genesis 27, each operating from a distorted picture of reality, and each with a reason that made sense to them. The warning is sharp: deception does not look wrong. It looks right.

The Transfiguration as the hinge where Old Testament glory hands off to New. Pastor Adam finds three deliberate echoes of Exodus in the scene, and borrows from Lewis to argue that glory is not brightness or achievement — it is acceptance.
