Today we worked our way into the Book of 2 Peter, making some stops in Colossians 1 and 3, talking about the dangers of false teaching that is based on secret knowledge and “hyper grace”. Understanding the exclusivity of the Gospel message opens the doors for a connection that all people are capable of being saved through it, because all are guilty. This is where you find God’s grace.

Happy Resurrection Day! He has been raised!

We talked about how Jesus was masterful at exposing our motives through His words and teachings.

Brent and Jeremy sit down with Aaron May and hear his testimony! (Brent and Aaron were recently installed as deacons at Agape Center Ministries.)

Today we talked about what it means to be made in the image of God. We also went to an often misunderstood saying from Christ to the Pharisees regarding payment or “tribute” to Caesar and “giving to Caesar what is Caesar’s and what is God’s to God”. Take a listen!

In Matthew 5 Jesus says we must have a “righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees” to be enter His Kingdom. Jesus is speaking about our hearts, and not merely outward showing. We can get good having our cups clean on the outside while wasting away with sin in the inside.

Brent, Jeremy and Brandon have a discussion on sin, and what it is and even what it is now.

Today we talked about sanctification, and how God does not mess around with the process of renewing us and making us more and more like His Son. There is a call to self denial and submission completely, because He desires to sanctify us completely.

Brandon sits down with the fellas and gives his testimony!

Today we talked about God’s mercy. Jonah actually refers to God’s mercy as “evil” in Hebrew due to the mercy He showed Israel’s enemies. The Book of Jonah forces us all to face the hypocrisy we have when it comes to God’s mercy, and how we can play judge in place of God.

Pastor’s wife Julaine gave a little message before the sermon, sharing her heart and struggles in ministry, and that God is always working with us while working on us.

Pastor Josh giving a brief recap of the recent sermon series based on The Book of Revelation. Today is always the best day for salvation, evaluation and repentance. God is faithful to forgive.
