Advent: The Posture of Our Hearts Pastor Debbie Haynes Download Advent is not a familiar teaching in some churches, like it is in more Liturgical churches. It is the four weeks leading up to Christmas, centered on the themes of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Though Advent is not specifically named in Scripture, it reflects a genuine sense of expectancy felt during each Christmas season—an anticipatio...

The God of All Comfort Pastor Debbie Haynes Download God is the God of all comfort, and He meets His people in suffering with mercy, not judgment. Paul reminds us in II Corinthians that when believers experience pain, God faithfully comforts them—not just for their own healing, but so they can share that same comfort with others. Our pain is never wasted when it becomes a testimony of God’s faithf...

Why I'm Thankful Pastor Debbie Haynes Download Today we’re reflecting on what we’re thankful for by looking at one of my late husband's favorite passages—Hebrews 6:13–20. This scripture reminds us that God’s promises are absolutely secure, backed by His unchanging character and confirmed by His own oath. Because of that, our hope in Christ is a firm and steady anchor for the soul, giving us confid...

New Outpourings Pastor Debbie Haynes Download In Acts 4, the disciples faced fierce opposition as God worked public miracles through Peter and John—especially the healing of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate. This undeniable act drew thousands to faith, alarming the religious authorities, who arrested the apostles and demanded to know by what power they had acted. Filled with the Holy Ghost, Pete...

The Still Small Voice Pastor Debbie Haynes Download Elijah, once a prophet of great miracles and faith, found himself running in fear and despair after Queen Jezebel’s threats.

The Breath of God Pastor Debbie Haynes Download The breath of God represents His divine power to create, sustain, and renew life. In Genesis 2:7, God breathes into Adam, and humanity becomes alive—every living soul depends on God’s Spirit. Job 33:4 and Psalm 104:29–30 emphasize that the same breath that gives life also sustains it; when God withdraws His Spirit, life ends, but when He sends it for...

The Longest Seven Months Pastor Debbie Haynes Download In I Samuel Chapter 4, the leaders of Israel suffered a crushing defeat and wrongly assumed that bringing the Ark of the Covenant into battle would guarantee victory. Instead of seeking God’s guidance or repenting, they treated the Ark as a magical object rather than a symbol of God’s presence. Their misplaced faith led to disaster—the Philist...

God's Marvelous Work Pastor Debbie Haynes Download Isaiah 29:13–14 reveals God’s rebuke of those who honor Him outwardly but lack true devotion.

This divine work amazed some but offended others, as human wisdom clashed with G...

Men Are Afraid of Manhood Pt. 2 Pastor Debbie Haynes Download Society often sends men mixed messages—expecting them to provide, lead and protect, yet labeling those same traits as toxic. Scripture shows that God gave men responsibility as a blessing, not a burden. Even when figures like Adam, Moses, and Peter failed, God still used them, proving that true manhood means trusting Him, embracing resp...

Men Are Afraid Of Manhood Pastor Debbie Haynes Download Today’s Society sends mixed messages about masculinity—expecting men to lead, provide, and protect, while also labeling those traits as “toxic.” This leaves many men fearful, passive, and unsure of their role. But from the beginning, God gave men responsibility (Genesis 2:15). Work, protection, and stewardship were intended as blessings, not...

To Advance The Gospel Pastor Debbie Haynes Download Paul wrote to the Philippians from prison, showing them that his suffering actually advanced the gospel.

Precept Upon Precept, Line Upon Line Pastor Debbie Haynes Download Isaiah condemned Israel’s priests and prophets for their corruption, drunkenness, and mockery of God’s word. Though God gave them simple, repeated truths (“line upon line, precept upon precept”) that even a simple child could grasp, they rejected His word. Instead of rest and refreshing, their refusal brought judgment through forei...

Therapy for a Troubled Mind Pastor Debbie Haynes Download In 1 Samuel 16:13–24 , we see a dramatic “transfer” of spirits. Samuel anoints David, and the Spirit of the Lord comes upon him in power. At the same time, because of King Saul’s ongoing disobedience, God allows a troubling spirit to torment him. David, known both for his skill in music and now for being anointed by God, is called to play f...

The Sovereignty of God Vs. Faith Pastor Debbie Haynes Download The beautiful passage of scripture in Psalm 46 declares that God is our “refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble,” grounding us in His unshakable presence, no matter the chaos around us.

Study In The Book Of Jude Don Haynes Download Join us for a study through the brief but weighty book of Jude, emphasizing the importance of being vigilant against growing apostasy in the church.

How to Have Joy in Difficult Times Pastor Debbie Haynes Download In Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul reflects on his past achievements and religious credentials, ultimately counting them as garbage compared to the worth of knowing Christ. His deep desire is to share in Christ’s sufferings and to attain resurrection life, even if it means enduring hardship. This reveals to us that rejoicing isn’t ro...

The Birth & Calling of Samson Pastor Debbie Haynes Download Judges 13 introduces the story of Samson’s birth. The Israelites once again do evil in God’s sight, leading to 40 years of oppression by the Philistines.
