Pastor Brett continues the message begun last week, discussing what it will take for the American Christian to persevere in the days ahead.  The six ‘P’s of how to persevere in the midst of coming persecution.

In this throwback message from 2015, Pastor Brett delivers his yearly State of Our Union address and outlines 5 things Christians must do to endure the forthcoming trials and persecution.  Make no mistake about it, a battle line has been drawn and we are headed to difficult times.  Oh, how America has fallen from it’s Christian roots…

God will strengthen and empower you with His Spirit if you simply ask!  Are you tired of trying to do it on your own?  Ask God for that filling of the Holy Spirit!  You do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you!  Pastor Brett reminds us on Pentecost Sunday that the power of the Holy Spirit is still active, and Christians today need to rely on the power of the Spirit rather than the power of...

When Moses spent time with God on the mountain, he came down shining with the light of the glory of God!  When we spend time with God, we shine!  However, when we face trials and difficulties, some of us WHINE rather than SHINE!  We need to shine!

God renews covenant with Israel, and give them the ritual law. One of the terms is celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles. He also says He will remove the nations that posses the promise land before them – would a loving God do genocide to people or is what He would do loving and just?

The Feast of Trumpets – preparing for the Day of Atonement.  How this ancient Biblical feast applies to us today as we enter the ‘Days of Awe’.   This feast is known as the ‘hidden feast, which no man knows the day or the hour’.  Rapture, feasts, and the ‘last trumpet’.

As Jews all over the world prepare for the days of awe - leading up to Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement. They pray this passage in Exodus 34 that reveals 13 attributes of God's mercy - where God reveals to Moses who He really is - a God of love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness.

Every sport has rules. Can you imagine the Super Bowl without rules? The Bible is our rule book for life. The rules are there for God’s glory and our good.
