Pulpitless

Our Potter Who Art in Heaven

What does it really mean that God "forms the mountains" in Amos 4:13?In this episode of Pulpitless, Pastor Greg explores the rich Hebrew word yatsar, the same word used to describe a potter carefully shaping clay. From God's formation of Adam in Genesis to Jeremiah's visit to the potter's house, Isaiah's prayer, and Paul's teaching in Romans, Scripture reveals a God who doesn't simply create—He patiently shapes.If you've ever wondered why God allows seasons of pressure, discipline, or hardship, this conversation offers a biblical perspective filled with both truth and hope. The Potter's hands may press and reshape, but they never abandon the clay. Ultimately, we see the greatest expression of this love in Jesus Christ, who entered our brokenness so that we might be remade into His image.If you're walking through a difficult season, this episode is a reminder that the pressure you're experiencing may not be a sign that God is finished with you—it may be evidence that He's still forming you into something beautiful.Because our Potter who art in heaven isn't finished with you yet.

Does Disaster Come From God?

Does disaster come from God? It's a question that has unsettled believers for generations, and Amos 3:6 brings it to the forefront with striking clarity.In this episode of Pulpitless, Pastor Greg carefully examines what the prophet Amos meant when he asked, "Does disaster come to a city, unless the LORD has done it?" Together, we'll explore the biblical doctrine of God's sovereignty, the meaning of the Hebrew word ra, and why Scripture teaches that calamity is never outside of God's control—without ever making God the author of sin.You'll also see how the stories of Joseph, Job, and ultimately the cross reveal that God can sovereignly work through suffering to accomplish His perfect purposes. Rather than leaving us with fear, this truth offers profound comfort: our pain is never random, our trials are never wasted, and nothing reaches us apart from the nail-pierced hands of our Savior.If you've wrestled with questions about suffering, God's providence, or how to trust Him in difficult seasons, this episode will encourage you to rest in His sovereign care.

Enoch Walked With God

What does it really mean to walk with God?In this episode of Pulpitless, Pastor Greg explores the powerful statement found in Genesis 5:22: "Enoch walked with God." Far from describing a single spiritual experience, this phrase reveals a lifelong pattern of faith, obedience, and companionship with God.Together we'll examine the Hebrew word halak, discover how Enoch's walk stood out in a genealogy dominated by death, and consider how fatherhood may have deepened his devotion rather than distracted him from it.You'll also learn practical ways to walk with God in the midst of everyday responsibilities—work, family, deadlines, difficult conversations, and the ordinary rhythms of life. Most importantly, we'll see how our personal walk with God influences the people watching us, from our children and grandchildren to our coworkers and neighbors.If you've ever wondered how to remain close to God in the middle of a busy life, this conversation will encourage you to take the next faithful step.One day at a time. One step at a time. Walking with God.

Ezer: The Theology of Being A Helper

What does the Hebrew word Ezer actually mean?In this episode of Pulpitless, Pastor Greg takes a deeper look at one of the most misunderstood words in the Old Testament — the Hebrew word ezer from Genesis 2:18. Often translated “helper,” the word has frequently been reduced to something small or secondary. But Scripture paints an entirely different picture.Used twenty-one times throughout the Old Testament — nineteen of those referring to God Himself as the helper of His people — ezer carries the idea of strength, rescue, and strategic support. This episode explores how God’s design for the home reveals women not as lesser creations, but as indispensable, strength-bearing partners in His divine plan.Through passages like Genesis 2, Psalm 121, Psalm 46, and Psalm 70, Pastor Greg uncovers the rich theology behind this powerful word and challenges both men and women to see God’s design with fresh biblical clarity.
