The Return of Christ
Dale Moore traces the second coming of Christ across the whole Bible, using a map of the Middle East to follow the route Scripture lays out. Starting from Matthew 24, Matthew 26, and Mark 14, he moves through Song of Solomon, Joel, Habakkuk, Psalms, Deuteronomy, Judges, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Revelation to show the Lord coming out of the wilderness with His saints, up the King's Highway through Edom and Moab, across Jordan to the Mount of Olives, and through the eastern gate to sit on the throne. Along the way he urges believers to get saved before the tribulation, to read the Bible for themselves, and to be prayed up and ready, since the Lord could come at any time.
The Goodness in Habakkuk
Dale Moore preaches from the last three verses of Habakkuk 3, contrasting the famine and desolation of verse 17 with the prophet's choice to rejoice in the Lord anyway. He traces the famine historically in Judah's judgment under Babylon, prophetically in the tribulation and the two witnesses of Revelation 11, and spiritually in Israel's fruitlessness pictured by the fig tree, then points to the believer's need to abide in Christ to bear fruit. He closes with three things the believer has in verse 19: strength, sure-footedness, and high places, and reminds the church that a saved person cannot fall from grace and can rejoice no matter how bad the world gets.
Habakkuk 3: Part 2
Dale Moore continues his study of Habakkuk 3, picking up in verse 8 and working through verse 12. He covers God's boundaries for the seas, the chariots and horses of the Lord, the bow and spear as pictures of the Word of God, the oath God swore to Abraham and the tribes, and the signs surrounding the second advent, drawing in Job 26, Joel 2, Isaiah 63, Zechariah 1 and 6, Psalms 148, Matthew 24, and Revelation 6. He closes by urging believers to keep their eyes open to the things of God, to be ready and prayed up, and to stand without surrender on salvation by grace and the finished work of Christ.
Habakkuk 3
Dale Moore continues his study through Habakkuk, working verse by verse through the opening of chapter 3, covering the prophet's prayer for revival and mercy, God's brightness described as light, the horns of power in His hand, and the shaking of the nations and mountains before Him. He draws in Exodus, Psalms 18, Isaiah 40, and Zechariah 14 to show God's power over darkness and judgment, and reminds believers that as kings and priests we are given a book that tells us how to rule and how to stay clean. He closes with practical encouragement to keep praying, keep going to church even when you do not feel like it, and keep handing out gospel tracts, since we never know who God will save through them.
Habakkuk 3
Dale Moore begins a study of Habakkuk 3, opening with the prophet's prayer and his fear at hearing from God, then his plea for God to revive His work. He works through prayers in Psalms 7, 86, and 90, the fear of God's word seen in Pharaoh's servants in Exodus 9, Josiah's tender heart in 2 Kings 22 and 2 Chronicles 34, and Jehoiakim burning the scroll in Jeremiah 36, urging hearers to let the Bible convict them rather than close it. He then turns to verse 3 and the second advent, showing from Acts 1, Deuteronomy 33, Judges 5, and Numbers 20 that the Lord's return begins at Sinai and follows the king's highway.
Habakkuk 2
Dale Moore continues his study of Habakkuk 2, beginning at verse 12 and working to the end of the chapter. He traces the woe pronounced on the city built with blood through Jeremiah 22, Ezekiel 24, Micah 3, and Job 24, showing how Jerusalem became a bloody city and how Nebuchadnezzar's invasion pictures the Antichrist and the Tribulation. He also covers the emptiness of laboring for vanity, the coming millennial reign when the earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, the strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians 2, and why God hates idols, closing with the reminder from Hebrews 1 that Christ is the express image of God and the only image believers worship.
Be Prepared
Dale Moore opens with everyday examples of preparation, packing for a trip or getting ready for church, and turns to Amos 4:12 to press the question of whether we are prepared to meet God. Working through Joshua 5, the plagues and the Passover in Exodus, Deuteronomy 8, and Colossians 2, he shows how God dealt with the flesh, rolled away the reproach of Egypt, went before His people to prepare the land, and blotted out our sin at the cross. He closes with the sober warning of 1 Peter 5:8 and the uncertain trumpet of 1 Corinthians 14:8, urging believers to be prayed up, separated from the world, and ready for the battles that come.
The Lord Hath Spoken
Dale Moore continues through Habakkuk 2, beginning at verse 9 and working through verse 11, showing how the description of Babylon's covetousness and pride also pictures the Antichrist to come. He works through covetousness and the love of money in 1 Timothy 6, Luke 12, and James 5, then the false security of setting a nest on high from Jeremiah 49, Obadiah 1, Isaiah 28 and 47, and Genesis 11, and closes with the stones that cry out as witnesses. Along the way he urges believers to talk to God through the day, walk circumspectly and be ready for divine appointments, refuse to lie or cover sin, wait on the Lord instead of running ahead, and keep their focus on God rather than on world events they cannot change.
Who is this Man?
Dale Moore continues his study of Habakkuk, taking up chapter 2 verses 5 through 8 and asking who this proud, unsatisfied man is, showing Nebuchadnezzar as a picture of the coming Antichrist. He works through the deceit of wine in Proverbs 20 and 23, the hardened hearts that will not repent in Revelation 9, the white horse of Revelation 6 and the beast of Revelation 13, Lucifer's five "I wills" in Isaiah 14, the appetite that is never full in Proverbs 27 and 30, and the push toward one world government going back to Nimrod in Genesis 11. He closes by warning against pride, covetousness, and moving with the world, urging believers to stand still so the lost can see a difference, and to get back up when they fall.
I Will Stand
Continuing his study through Habakkuk, Dale Moore finishes chapter 1 and works through the opening verses of chapter 2, showing how the prophet resolves to stand upon his watch and wait to hear from God. He draws in Ephesians 6 and Ezekiel to teach believers to stand firm, take on the armor of God, and serve as watchmen who warn others. The message urges patience in waiting on the Lord, a right attitude when reproved, and confidence in the eternal security of the saved as children of the light.
The Prophet's Second Complaint
Preaching from Habakkuk chapter 1, Dale Moore examines the prophet's second complaint, where Habakkuk wrestles with why a holy and just God would allow the wicked to prosper and the righteous to suffer. The message reminds us that God is eternal, holy, mighty, and pure, that He keeps accurate records and will judge every man's works, and that we choose our judge by what we do with the Lord Jesus Christ. It closes with a call from Deuteronomy 25 to keep a just balance in life, warning that when we cheat others we cheat ourselves.
God calls the Prophet
Preaching from Habakkuk chapter 1, Dale Moore examines God's answer to the prophet as He raises up the Chaldeans to judge a backslidden Israel that had drifted so far the Lord called them heathen. He warns against abusing Christian liberty, against pride that must be humbled, and against growing stagnant instead of maturing in the faith. Drawing connections to Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar is shown as a type of the Antichrist, and the message closes by urging believers to treasure the Word of God even when it brings rebuke.
Shining through the Rain
Preaching from David's last words in 2 Samuel 23, Dale Moore uses the picture of clear shining after rain to teach that trouble and trials are used by God to draw us closer to Him and make us more like His Son. He traces the pattern of rain and trial through Scripture, from Adam's cursed ground to the storms faced by Job, the three Hebrew children, Elijah, and Joseph, showing that God brings blessing and a clearer view of Himself through hardship. He calls believers to cleanse themselves with the Word, confess sin specifically and sincerely, and carry a burden in prayer for others who are going through their own storms.
Habakkuk cont.
Continuing his study through Habakkuk, Dale Moore covers the prophet's complaint and the Lord's answer that He would raise up the Chaldeans to punish an unfaithful Judah. He shows how the same Scripture can be applied in different ways in preaching without correcting the Bible, using examples from Isaiah, Acts, Romans, and Nahum, and he stresses that judgment came because the people trusted their own works instead of God. The message closes with gratitude for salvation and the promise that believers will be taken up before the tribulation.
Habakkuk part 2
Continuing his study in the book of Habakkuk, Dale Moore works through the opening verses where the prophet cries out to God over the violence and injustice around him. He teaches that believers ought to carry a burden for their families, the lost, and the backslidden, and warns against calling on God only in times of crisis instead of maintaining a daily walk with Him. The message closes with a personal testimony about forgiveness and the truth that even the worst sinners, like Saul of Tarsus, can still be saved.
Phl. & Habakkuk
Pastor Moore finishes his study of Philippians, noting how God supplies our needs rather than our wants and pointing to the four basic needs of salvation, assurance, wisdom, and comfort in Christ. He then begins a new study in the minor prophet Habakkuk, showing how the prophet questioned God about unpunished wickedness and learned that the just must live by faith. The message ties Habakkuk's burden to our own day, urging believers to fear the Word of God, pray for mercy on the lost, and carry a real burden for others.
Concl of Phi. 4
Filling in for Pastor Pierucki, Dale Moore concludes the study of Philippians 4, working through Paul's exhortation to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. He emphasizes spiritual growth and maturity, learning contentment in every circumstance, following godly examples as they follow Christ, and trusting God to supply every need. The message closes on the four basic needs of salvation, assurance, wisdom, and comfort, pointing to Christ as the source of strength for all things.
Phil. 4 Think on ....
Dale Moore preaches from Philippians 4, focusing on Paul's instruction to not be full of care but to make our requests known to God with thanksgiving. He works through the list of things believers are to think on, showing from many passages what it means to dwell on things that are true, honest, just, pure, and lovely. The message urges constant communication with the Lord, honest dealings with all men, and a settled trust that brings the peace of God.
Phil. 4 Stand fast!
Preaching from Philippians 4:1-4, Dale Moore works through the phrase stand fast, tracing it across many passages and calling believers to stand firm in love for the brethren, in the Spirit, in the faith, in prayer, and in the grace of God. He shares his own testimony of coming to the King James Bible while in the military, and encourages Christians to endure, abide in Christ, and rejoice in the Lord always with unfeigned love and a joyful spirit.
Phil 4
Dale Moore teaches through the opening verses of Philippians 4, focusing on Paul's love for the Philippian believers and what it means to long for the things of God, including our calling, righteousness, and the salvation of others. He works through the theme of the books God keeps, especially the book of life, showing how God records names and never blots out the name of the saved. The message also encourages having grace toward one another, valuing true fellow laborers, and being ready to stand fast in the Lord.
