Three out of the four times that Jesus called the Holy Spirit, the Helper, He also referred to Him as the Spirit of truth. There are many things today that people consider to be the truth, but real truth never changes. So despite what someone’s personal preference might be or what might be popular at the time, you can be confident knowing that the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth

We often ask ourselves? what is the line between right and wrong? How do I know what choices to make? Thankfully we have the Holy Spirit who dwells in us and acts as a moral compass, helping us to make the toughest decisions. When we follow His lead, we are promised to have the fruits of the spirit enrich our lives and make life complete.

Jesus said that when the Helper comes, He will convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.  Quite often, our view of conviction is shaped based on our understanding of or experience with our legal system.   Today, Pastor Fred teaches on these three convicting works of the Holy Spirit and how He operates in the lives of both non-believers and believers.

Jesus perfectly represented the Father while He was on the earth. Since He had to leave, He told His disciples that He would send them another Helper - another One just like Him. Pastor Fred begins a new series this week entitled, The Helper. In today's teaching, he explains how the Holy Spirit is not only with you, but also desires to be in you and upon you.

Jesus said that He is the vine, the Father is the vinedresser and we are the branches. His ultimate desire is for us to bear fruit that remains, but there’s a process in getting there. The key for us is staying connected and in total dependence on Him. If you want to be brought into a place of more fruitfulness, then listen to today’s teaching by Pastor Fred as he explains how He repositions and p...

This week, Pastor Fred  teaches on several aspects of Jesus being our good Shepherd.  The Shepherd leads us with His voice, protects us from the enemy and holds us securely in His hand.  If you’ve been getting led astray by other voices or experiencing attacks from the enemy, listen how your good Shepherd will lead you out and will never run from a fight.    

When the answer to your prayer is delayed or isn’t exactly what you asked for, it doesn’t mean that Jesus didn’t hear you or doesn’t love you. Quite often, He has something greater in mind for you.  As you listen to this week’s teaching by Pastor Fred, you’ll see that just because you have experienced death or decay in some area of your life, doesn’t mean that it is beyond the resurrection power o...

The enemy wants nothing more than to isolate you and steal you from the protection of the sheepfold. The good news is that Jesus is the door that guards the sheepfold and He is the only way in and the only way out. When the enemy comes- remind him who you belong to. Pastor Jay reminds you in this message that Jesus is your door to peace, love, and everlasting life.

Most people who are stuck in some secret sin are fearful to come into the light. Listen as Fred Timbrook explains why coming into the light is exactly what you need. When Jesus is that Light, He’s never condemning and there’s nothing to fear.

Today Fred Timbrook begins a new series with the first of Jesus’ seven “I AM” statements from the book of John. Jesus, the Bread of Life, is spiritual food for your spirit, soul and body, but all too we waste time and energy chasing “food” that has a shelf life. He has a word for you every day and His bread is everlasting.

Like most of us, the Apostle Paul had a bad reputation before he came to Christ. Today Fred Timbrook shares how that no matter what you may have done, God had a predesigned plan for your life that was in place before you were even born. Then listen to our four most recent Hope Home graduates tell of how God’s love and grace has dramatically changed their lives.

Grace doesn’t play favorites. Let your mind be renewed with this verse, “The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” Listen as Fred Timbrook and Jay Atkinson teach on how the unmerited, unearned and undeserved favor of God is available for everyone, but you’ve got to receive it for yourself.

Today’s teaching by Fred Timbrook and Jay Atkinson focuses on the fact that God has delivered you in the past, is delivering you now and will continue to deliver you in the future. Jesus doesn’t give Himself for our sins, so that would be “saved, but stuck” until we get to heaven one day. Don’t ever think that God gets tired of delivering you. Since deliverance is His will, He actually takes pleas...

God’s not mad at you and He has already reconciled the world to Himself through Jesus. Fred Timbrook and Jay Atkinson teach that NOW is the acceptable time and NOW is the day of salvation. There is a purpose for God’s grace beyond your initial salvation.
