The Third Seal

"And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." ~Revelation 6:5-6

The Lamb opens the next seal and a black horse rides out. The rider is not swinging a sword this time. He is holding scales. A day’s wage buys one measure of wheat, or three of barley. The oil and the wine are told not to be hurt.
That is scarcity with a voice. Bread measured out. Luxury left standing. Darkness over the land, and the Word getting thin.

We are going to sit with this one. Not to speculate the headlines, but to hear what the Spirit is saying when the food of the soul is rationed and the balances are in another man’s hand.
Come and see.

Join us for a warm, Scripture-focused gathering Sunday morning, November 1, 2026, 10:00 a.m., at Panera Bread, Beavercreek, where we will explore this hidden truth together in a spirit of fellowship and prayer. Bring your Bible and an open heart. You may discover insights that deepen your understanding of God’s Word. All are warmly welcome!

Talking With God

From the moment the disciples said to Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray!" people have had many thoughts regarding the idea of conversation with God.

Dr. Timothy Keller spent years studying Scripture on the subject of prayer, and rightly reminds the reader that prayer is our response to God Who spoke to us first, through creation and through His Word. We must first listen to our Creator, and then respond to His revealed truth in following him and in prayer.

Reading through Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy With God is a wonderful opportunity to draw closer to our Father in Heaven by considering Who He is, and responding accordingly. We would love to have you join us in reading this essential book in November!

We meet at Panera Bread, Austin Landing, Miamisburg/Springboro on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 6:30 pm.
