Come To The Table

Drug abuse is rampant around the world...destroying lives and tearing families apart...Many drugs are a bridge leading straight to destruction...it only takes one experience and a soul is addicted....waiting and longing for the next hit. Unfortunately, drugs are used by Satan to draw people away from God. Today, Pastor Mark teaches that there is HOPE in Jesus...He has power over evil. Instead of n...

Producing counterfeit money is illegal but that doesn’t stop people from printing it. They want to use it to buy items without having to do the hard work of earning money. One sin leads to another and then it pulls more people in. Today, Pastor Mark explains that Satan has similar tactics when he creates fake religions. He wants to lead people away from faith in Jesus. Satan will do everything in...

The names of Honor Roll students are often listed in the school newsletter or printed in the local newspaper. It’s a GREAT honor and encouraging to young students - BUT there is a list that is even better to find your name on...it ’s the Lamb’s Book of Life. The Lamb’s Book of Life is better than any award or trophy you might receive. Today, Pastor Mark explains that you can get your name inside b...

Have you ever seen a mock-up designer purse? The glitz and glam are there and you can see the brand logo...BUT when you get closer and hold it in your hands...you can tell it’s not the REAL deal. It’s a fake. Today, Pastor Marks explains that Satan has created FAKE religions that worship counterfeit idols. Before the flood, God told Satan his divine plan and how Jesus would defeat him...now Satan...

Revelation is often seen as a daunting book and rightly so. With all the devastation and destruction that it says is to come, that would make anyone fearful of the future. But rather than fear it, take heart and rejoice in it! If you’ve put your faith in Jesus, you already know He holds the future and you know He wins! Maybe you’re not sure if you know Jesus in an intimate way and this makes you f...

How do you face the temptations of this world when they only seem to get bigger? How do you live a pure and righteous life when the things around you seek to devour? How do you remain in Him? Pray. Pray for God to fill you with His Spirit so you can withstand all the things that seek to distract you from Him. When you pray, pray for boldness and the courage to remain steady in God’s truths. There...

It may not always seem like it, but God always has a plan. Ever since the beginning, His plan was for His children to walk with Him in the garden. To walk with Him where there was no fear, no doubt, and no shame. Sin broke that plan and hope seemed lost, but God came up with another plan to bring His children home. Jesus died so you don’t have to. His death paid for your judgment so you don’t have...

It’s easy to read through the last book of the Bible and think how horrible those days will be. It’s also easy to wonder why God would allow people to suffer like that. But God doesn’t rejoice in death. He doesn’t rejoice in your pain and in your suffering. In fact, He is love and in His great love, He wants to rescue you. You don’t have to live in fear of the future because God shares with you. H...

As you continue to listen to this message from Revelation, you may be wondering where you stand. Do you believe in God and all that He promises? Or do you doubt and plan to take your chances? If you’re not sure where you are today, spend some time reading the Word of God and let Truth speak to you. God could choose to judge everyone in the world today, but He doesn’t. He always gives time and oppo...

If the word judgment makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone. The world is full of people who judge and criticize just because they can. It’s no wonder the subject of God’s judgment makes you want to hide. But God doesn’t want to bring punishment, let alone see you live apart from Him. He is for you! Throughout the Bible, it’s clear God takes His promises both personally and seriously. This mean...

As you continue to learn from the book of Revelation in today’s message, you may be a little uncomfortable. Talking about where your heart is may not be the easiest topic, but it’s so important. Take some time today and evaluate your heart. Is Jesus really dwelling within or does He need to be invited into your life? One of the most beautiful things about who God is is that He is full of grace. Hi...

Did you know that who you are and what you do matters? You may think that you’re unimportant or that your impact is small, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! God made you on purpose and for a purpose. So, if you’re struggling with your worth today, remember, no detail of your life is an accident. As you continue listening to today’s message, you’ll learn that because God made you for a p...

God has written his name on your forehead because you belong to him. That means that whatever comes your way, you are secure in the power of the Father’s love. There is nothing that can take you away from him because there is no power greater than him. Nothing the world throws at you has the power to overcome you. And even when it comes to the end of the world, you are secure. You are kept safe wi...

In this world there are good, pure, awesome, and godly things, there is a knock-off version created by Satan. On the one hand, you have families and on the other, gangs. The fake intimacy of sleeping around rivals God’s creation of intimacy in marriage. And today we’ll discover that Satan will try to set up his own knock-off version of the trinity as a part of his effort to set himself up to be “l...

Imagine a life completely free of the fear of death. That means no sickness scares you, no danger is too great and there is nothing in the world that can make you anxious or afraid. Can you picture it? What would you do with a life like that? If you had a life free of fear, would you go skydiving? Bungee jumping? Or maybe we could find a more productive way to pass the time! In a life free from fe...

Lies can have devastating repercussions on a person’s life. Lies have the power to destroy reputations, careers, families. There really is no end to the damage a lie can do. Isn’t it comforting to know that in the court of heaven, where the accuser comes to bring a case against us, the true judge sees through every lie! And when it comes to the truth, to the mistakes we’ve made and sins we committ...

If you spend your time and energy consuming the news that is shoved down our throats in this society, you’ll quickly find yourself overwhelmed and discouraged. Worrying over what’s happening can quickly distract you from what you should be focused on – seeking Christ and sharing His Gospel while we still have time. As Pastor Mark will encourage us in today’s message, as times get closer to Christ’...

Our world is ripe for Christ’s return. The circumstances described in Revelation fit well with what we’ve seen happening in our world over the most recent decades. If you think things have been bad lately, it’s only going to get much worse. For those that love the Lord, there’s no reason for fear – He won’t let His Church suffer the tribulation that’s to come. As Pastor Mark will warn in this mess...

If an oil lamp runs out of oil, it no longer offers light. That lamp is essentially useless if that happens… It may serve as a nice decoration, but it loses its main purpose. In the same way, if we aren’t being filled with the Holy Spirit as believers, we’ll quickly lose our purpose and be nothing more than decorations in the church pews. As Pastor Mark wraps up his study of Revelation chapter 11...

Just as the Israelites lived under the oppression of slavery in Egypt, we find ourselves as captives in a foreign land as believers. We’re under siege, with our enemy attacking us at every angle. Often, his attacks are subtle, and we may not even be aware of his efforts to undermine the work of God in our hearts. As Pastor Mark will explain in today’s message, if you look at the story of the Exodu...

Contemplating the future as a believer is a bittersweet thing. We have such incredible hope knowing that Jesus is going to take us to Heaven to be with Him, but contrast that with the thought of all the people who have and will reject God as their Father. This breaks God’s heart, and it should break ours as well. The good news is that we don’t have to wallow in sorrow over the coming judgment of m...

For most of us, it’s hard to imagine experiencing something so dire that we’d rather die than live through it. As Pastor Mark will point out in this teaching, that’s the level of torment that can be expected in the End Times. It’ll be so bad that people would rather just end their misery altogether – only they won’t be able to. As awful as the End of this world sounds, you don’t have to be depress...

Nobody likes the thought of Hell and the Bottomless Pit we find described in Scripture. It’s a harsh contrast to the love, grace, and compassion that characterize God. If Satan hadn’t rebelled, there’d likely be no need for Hell. Mankind wouldn’t have sinned and rejected God, and men and women would live in a relationship with Him in the Garden of Eden. That may be a nice thing to imagine, but it’...

Think of the fear that gripped us when the news about the coronavirus first started coming out. Remember the images we’ve all seen of the aftereffects of tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and fires over the last few decades. Now, imagine all those things happening at once. The panic we experienced in the spring of 2020 was mild by comparison. While we will see things getting worse, the good news...

Our God is creative by nature – He’s The Creator. Destruction is not His preferred operation. But as Scripture makes clear, there are times when the only way to restore is to first destroy. Think about Babel. Men tried to build something that would bring themselves closer to God, and the only way to fix the problem they created was for God to destroy it and disperse the people. Before things can b...
