It's Getting really bad out there but we have hope. The answer is in front of out face and more than ever we must trust in the one who gave us the answer!

Karyn Johnson gives a survey of issues faced by the early church that Peter addresses in these books.

One of the most common complaints that comes from people in the church is that they do not feel like God has given them the opportunity they are looking for. The problem is that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of opportunities that God puts in front of His children, but none of those mean anything if you do not acknowledge His presence. The most foundational way we do that is through obedience, and that obedience gets rewarded. Brace yourself for a very important discussion in the Bible that will prove to change your life.

Life is filled with circumstances that create fear in our hearts, often pushing us in directions that are destructive. Yet when God is in the middle of those moments, fear can become a reminder that His hand is at work in ways we do not yet see. More often than we realize, fear comes just before great victory. Tonight, we are talking about all of it.

We’re fighting a war that cannot be seen, and as we sit in the midst of it, the attacks are increasing. This is something we expected would happen in the last days, and there’s only one way to engage and find victory.

Please join us for the very first prayer meeting, our all church prayer meeting of the year. We have a lot of very important things to pray for, and we have some very big needs to give to our great God. This one is very important, so please consider joining us!

Many have no awareness that walking with God is rooted in a work He alone accomplishes, and a simple faith we are called to exercise. When we lead by serving, it requires obedience that follows cleansing through God’s sacrifice, and that obedience demands complete surrender. These actions point us forward to our true High Priest, our Messiah Jesus, who offered Himself as the ultimate sacrifice without sin and denied His own will by leading in perfect obedience to our heavenly Father.

In the words of the late, great Walter Martin, Christians who fail to engage in this spiritual war become the first casualties of it. And perhaps one of the leading factors that contribute to this type of casualty is the desire for comfort over prayer and obedience. Today we are going to talk about what may be one of the most important passages in the Bible to give us a better understanding of what all of this means.

Join us for what will be a great Q&A session! Don't Miss out!

Throughout human history, mankind has consistently confused inaction with no action, and nowhere is this more evident than in how people view the true and living God. Because He loves us and cares about us, He warns us, patiently and repeatedly, yet we ignore Him, assuming His silence means indifference or weakness. But the day is coming when that patience will end. The God who calmly observes the nations will step forward as Judge, and when He does, everything will be leveled according to His righteousness. Make no mistake, when that moment arrives, you will want to be on the right side of history.

One of the most shocking things revealed about God throughout the Bible is His clear and intentional desire to be close to us and to interact with us. He makes that obvious in virtually every way, but there is one major caveat that never changes. It has to be done His way. We do not get to approach God on our terms, because in almost every instance where we try to do that, we end up bringing destruction upon ourselves. Leviticus 7 makes this unmistakably clear. God is not distant, and He is not unwilling, but He is holy. Quite simply put, God is holy, and you don’t get Him your way!

One of the most obvious signs of the fall of man centers around man’s inability to keep his commitments. We seek to make promises and oftentimes fail to keep them, even when we mean to, even when we have the best of intentions. That is perhaps the most striking part of this passage. Contrary to popular belief, this passage does not deal with the subject of communion as much as it deals with another subject, a subject that is so consequential and so significant to the time in which we live that the devil is working overtime to make sure you never see it.

Things in this world are not nearly as gray as many want you to believe. According to God’s law, life is far more defined than culture admits. You are either aligning yourself with what is good or you are siding with what is evil, and there is no neutral ground. That choice determines far more than momentary outcomes. It shapes your decisions, your direction, and ultimately whether your life builds what matters or tears everything down. In this study from Proverbs 8:12–21, we examine the one thing every man must have if he is going to be a builder instead of a destroyer.

This is the passage that so many people debate almost every day. And quite frankly, there's no need for debate, because the future account of the city of Damascus is very clear. What isn't clear is the timing, but the one thing we know is that it's going to be sooner than later.
