False Views of God - (“Barriers to Belief” Week 2 of 8) 26.08.2024

Do you believe you have an accurate conception of who God really is? Ironically, many people think they do, but when asked about the basis of their assessment, it’s generally just assumptions.

Holy Spirit - (“The Voice-When God Speaks” Week 5 of 5) 12.08.2024

Today, as we conclude this series, hopefully, it will have brought you to a greater awareness that God actively speaks to us.

Angels - (“The Voice-When God Speaks” Week 3 of 5) 28.07.2024

Does God use His angels to work in our lives and even speak to us in modern times? There is conclusive evidence throughout scripture to make that argument, but what about in our lives today?

Join us as Pastor Greg brings to light clear examples from modern times that show God using His angels...

As we look deeper into discerning the voice of God in our lives, we come to the topic of prophets.
