Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

From Faith to Faith: 21 Years and Counting
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
After 21 years of ministry, Pastor Scott reflects on her calling and the lessons that have left an imprint on her soul. One of which is the blessing of being called by God and being struck by a famine: the famine of feeling completely inadequate to answer God’s call, and the challenges that He gives for ever-increasing faith. These are God’s way of testing us to see if we will rely on Him to guide us in the way in which we should go.

The Vision and Call of Isaiah
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
The book of Isaiah has ample archaeological evidence to support its authenticity and history corroborates many of its prophecies. Isaiah was a different type of prophet. God told him to prophesy against Judah and other nations for their sins, but He also told him they would not listen. Isaiah’s prophecies were fulfilled in his lifetime, after his death and some are still yet to come. Most importantly, the book contains many Messianic prophecies, all of which point to Christ.

Turn Back to God Now! Judgment Is Coming
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
God sent Jonah to a foreign kingdom with this message, “Turn back to God now! Judgment is coming.” Miraculously, they listened and did just that. This is the same message that needs to be preached to our entire government and all of America. If the president’s spiritual advisors and those with a platform start saying, “Repent! Believe in Jesus Christ and repent of your sins,” we might have a chance. VF-2545 Jonah Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Amos: Don’t Keep Pushing the Limit with God
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
The prophet Amos speaks of God’s judgment against the northern kingdom of Israel. God spelled out their sins in great detail and warned them that their punishment was coming quickly. History shows us that God kept His word. While there is very little hope in the book of Amos, there is a promise that in a future time, the scattered people of Israel will be brought back and Christ will dwell in their midst. The lesson for us today is this: don’t keep pushing the limit with God, because at some point, He can get enough. VF-2543 Amos Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7...

Hosea: The Judgement and Anger of a Loving God
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
God told the prophet Hosea to marry a whore to symbolize the spiritual infidelity of Israel. In their prosperity, the people had failed to give God thanks and had worshiped idols. God still loved them, but He said that if they would not repent, they would not be His people and would not obtain mercy. But in a future time, they will be His people once more and obtain mercy, and Christ will be their King.

Joel: There’s Still Time to Turn Back to God
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
The prophecy of Joel describes a famine and devastation sent by God to wake the people up and bring them to repentance. It affected every aspect of life, from the livestock to the crops that made the offerings and worship practices possible. While Joel’s prophecy speaks to the people in his day, it also speaks to us in the present who are living in a very evil time. It also speaks of the future when divine retribution will be meted out on “the day of the Lord.” Although the circumstances described are very bleak, the message is of grace clear: there’s still time...

The Consequences of Not Preferring God
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
The book of Obadiah is a small book with only 21 verses, but it has a much larger message. Through the prophet, God tells what will be done to the Edomites, who scoffed at His people and did not value the things of God. This book applies to the time it was written and to a future time when those who refuse to repent and turn to God will be forever cut off from His presence.

Elisha’s Ministry: God’s Power on Display for a Purpose
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
God revealed Himself in the Old Testament through prophecy and miracles. He put His power, His presence, and His will on display to show people He was God, so they might turn to Him. He used the prophet Elisha to make sure that His will would be carried out by Hazael and Jehu, to wipe out evil people. No two servants of God are the same, except in their faith; Elijah and Elisha performed similar miracles, for a different purpose.

The Word of God from Elisha: Life to Some, Death to Others
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
The miracles that Elisha performed often centered on water, oil, food, or life and death. They reflected what was lacking in the people, and they were designed to turn the people back to Him. These miracles showed the people what God could do if they were obedient to Him. God washes us, provides for us, gives us His Spirit and the Bread of Life, and gives us resurrected life. 2 Kings VF-2537 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.
