Nahum confronts us with the majesty of a God who is holy, sovereign, and just. He is patient with sinners, yet He will by no means clear the guilty.

He is a refuge for His people and a righteous Judge over all the earth.

The same Lord before whom mountains quake is the One who welcomes all who flee to Him in faith.

In Christ, justice is satisfied and mercy is freely given.

Watch Pastor Chris Stevenson preach through Nahum 1:2–8 'The Awe-Inspiring Judge' and be reminded that the Lord is glorious in all His ways—perfect in justice, abundant in mercy, and faithful to His people.

Join us this Sunday at Chapel in the Hills as Pastor Chris Stevenson opens God’s Word in Nahum 1:2-8 and preaches on “The Awe-Inspiring Judge.”

Nahum puts Yahweh’s character and nature on display before us. And as God’s character is displayed in this passage, we are reminded that every person must reckon with who He is.

Meet us as we fix our eyes on the God of Scripture, whose justice is perfect, whose sovereignty is absolute, and whose goodness is a refuge for all who trust in Him.

“If we are to declare the truth of the gospel, we must understand the depths of the bad news.”
– Pastor Chris Stevenson

The book of Nahum reminds us that the God of Scripture is holy, just, merciful, and full of righteous wrath against sin.

We live in a time where many want a softened version of God, yet the glory of the gospel is seen most clearly when we understand what Christ actually saved us from.

This sermon on Nahum 1:1-7 | 'Meet the True God' was an always needed reminder that God does not overlook evil, He does not forget His people, and His justice is never separated from His mercy.

Dear all,

We pray this Memorial Day has been a meaningful time of rest and reflection as we remember those who gave their lives in service to our country.

We wanted to send a quick update that we will not be meeting this coming Tuesday, May 26.

Lord willing, we will resume on Tuesday, June 2.

In the meantime, we encourage you to continue reading:

1. Calvin’s Institutes, Chapter 3, pp. 120–133.
In these pages, Calvin begins walking through the commandments themselves and unfolds their implications not only for outward obedience, but for worship, the heart, and the whole of the Christian life.

2. For those who would like some “extra credit,” we would also suggest reading Questions 91–110 of the Westminster Larger Catechism:

https://thewestminsterstandard.org/westminster-larger-catechism/ #91

These questions deal particularly with the moral law and the first two commandments, and many of them were later reproduced in the 1689 Baptist Catechism. The resource above is especially helpful because it includes abundant proof texts with conveniently linked Scripture references.

We pray the reading is fruitful for you all this week.

Grace and peace,

Chapel in the Hills

Today we remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to this nation.

The freedoms we have enjoyed in this country are a gift of God’s grace, and they have come at great cost.

We give thanks for those who willingly served and sacrificed, while holding in prayer and honor the families who still carry that grief.

From all of us at Chapel in the Hills, we remember this Memorial Day.
