When a person becomes a Christian, a battle begins between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh is that part of our lives that desires sinful things; the spirit is that part of our lives that wants to glorify God. Our flesh always wants to dominate, but the Bible tells us to die to self and live in the spirit. Paul writes about this spiritual battle in Galatians 5, and he gives us three practical w...

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 20:11-21:26.

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many are feeling grief, anger, and sadness. Paul asked the Galatians, “Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16).  Unfortunately, when we live the truth and tell the truth, many will see us as their enemy. Jesus said that some will even hate us (John 15:18-19). Nevertheless, God calls us to love people, to be bold am...

There are many differences among people—including ethnic, socio-economic, and biological differences. But that does not matter when it comes to our standing in Christ. Paul says that all Believers are ONE in Christ. But the culture views things differently. The culture either denies our differences altogether or exploits our differences to divide people through class warfare and race-baiting. But...

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 19-20:11.

The Old Testament Law tells us that anyone who violates just one of God’s commandments is guilty of breaking them all, and that every “lawbreaker” is under a curse. But the good news is that Jesus Christ bore the curse intended for us when He was nailed to a tree! Jesus reversed the curse! Follow along in today’s Bible study as Pastor Gary shares the importance of faith over law and how we are jus...

Sometimes Christians are reluctant to be bold in their faith for fear of what others may think. Even the apostle Peter briefly fell into this trap, and Paul had to confront him about his hypocrisy. "Quiet Christianity" is when you act one way around some people, and a different way around other people who do not share your beliefs. In today's study, Pastor Gary gives us steps to overcome "quiet Ch...

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 17:34-18:37.

Many well-meaning people believe that being a good person is good enough to get to heaven. But the truth is, there is only one way—salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone!  Jesus is the only way to heaven. In the book of Galatians, Paul addresses this important truth and says that any person or demon who tells you a “different gospel” should be accursed! Join Pastor Gary fo...

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 15:32-16:16.

“A thorn in the flesh” can be anything or anyone that causes you pain or suffering. Paul did not define exactly what his was, but it may have been physical affliction or external opposition. Either way, his "thorn" was painful and difficult, and he learned much from his trial as he persevered through it. How well do you handle the pain in your life? What is your “thorn in the flesh” and how should...

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 14:14-15:31.

In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul spoke, in the third person, of a revelation of heaven that was too wonderful to describe so that he would not appear to be bragging. But there are more than 575 other passages in the Bible that describe heaven. Pastor Gary shares seven points about the “Hope of Heaven” and invites people to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior so that they can enjoy heaven for eternity after t...

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 13 & 14:1-14.

In a recent Barna study, a mere one fifth of self-identified Christians believe that Satan is living and impactful. However, the Bible is clear that Satan is not only a real, living being, but he is also hard at work in our world seeking to wreak havoc and oppose God and those who follow God. In today’s message, Pastor Austin unpacks the “ministry” of Satan so that we don’t fall prey to the strate...

In light of the Texas flash-flood that claimed the lives of more than 120 people, including 36 children, many people are left with unanswered questions.

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 11-12

Samson was a man of great potential, empowered by the Spirit, and given a task from his mother’s womb. But he lived a life of compromise. The little ways that Samson gave way to sin soon grew, leading to terrible consequences that culminated in his death. But even from this fallen man we can see an imperfect type of Christ: a prophesied deliverer who defeated the enemy most in his death. We can al...
