Expressing our Disappointment

March 30, 2020March 30, 2020 / colbyhetcel / 1 Comment

This material comes from a video sermon that I made for Axis Student Ministry’s YouTube channel which aired on April 1st 2020. For a bit of context, the video that this sermon was in was released during the Spring Break in which everyone was on lock-down quarantine because of COVID-19.

Sabbath Law and COVID-19

March 27, 2020March 30, 2020 / colbyhetcel / 1 Comment

Remembering the Sabbath made it into the Ten Commandments. Several chapters of Torah are devoted to explaining its inner workings. When Sabbath … Continue reading Sabbath Law and COVID-19

Judges 6 and the Sign of the Fleece

March 4, 2020March 30, 2020 / colbyhetcel / Leave a comment

If you have spent any time around churches, you likely have heard the phrase “I just felt led to do this.” And it’s true, God does confirm our steps or guide our path from time to time (Proverbs 16:9, Psalm 37:23-24). But what happens when He doesn’t? More so, what happens when we have big … Continue reading Judges 6 and the Sign of the Fleece
