We start a new series with the intentions of "knowing our enemy" better. Why would we want to do that? Every war general studies their enemy before going into battle. Every athletic team studies their opponent so they know how to better defeat them. The Bible says "Have sound judgment. Be alert. Your adversary, the Devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." In this m...

Pastor Seth finishes the series as he teaches from the last chapter from the book of Hebrews.

Pastor Jim gives a special message concerning the importance of unifying together in the body of Christ. We must come together in symphony to work on building each other up in the Lord; helping Him put back together what has been broken. We must seek the Lord through prayer; repenting for our own personal sins, the sins of His church, and the sins of the government. We must position ourselves to a...

Join us as Pastor Seth finishes chapter 12 this week in the book of Hebrews. In what ways does God speak to us in our lives? How do we know the voice of God? How can we discern His voice amongst all the other voices spoken in our lives? These are important questions each Christian should ask and know.

Pastor Seth discusses how the roots of bitterness can poison our lives. Anytime a hurt or injustice is done towards us, a seed can be planted into our hearts. If we harbor that seed, the roots of bitterness will take root. A bitter root will produce bitter fruit and keep us defeated and broken. Find out the damaging effects of unforgiveness and how God can set your free from your brokenness!

This week Pastor Seth discusses the importance of discipline in your household. Parental discipline can keep our children from harm or even death later on in their lives. We love our children and discipline should always be performed through love and never through anger. As parents our discipline will always be imperfect, but our Father in heaven is perfect in love which also equates to perfect in...

This week, Pastor Jim wraps up Hebrews chapter 11. He discusses how Moses's parents hid him as a child from the ordinances of Pharaoh who said to kill all baby boys. They knew their son was special and they couldn't violate their conscience despite what the governing authorities implemented. As Christians, we are to obey the ruling authorities over us. There can come a time where those ruling auth...

Pastor Seth discusses the unwavering faith of Abraham in this weeks sermon. In obedience, he went out to a foreign land promised to be inhabited by his offspring. He was promised as man offspring as the stars in the sky or sand on the sea shores. His name was changed to Abram (exalted father) to Abraham (father of many nations). The problem was, he had no children and his body was as good as dead....

This week we discuss two prominent figures in the Scripture; Enoch and Noah. Both men had commonalities among them. Enoch pronounced judgements upon the Watchers because of their sins committed. Noah pronounced condemnation upon the offspring of the Watchers, the Nephilim, by proclaiming the coming judgement upon the earth and by faith, built the ark for the saving of his household. Both men are a...

This week Pastor Jim discusses the importance of our faith as Christians. The faith that we have in God is not: an uncertain hope, blind faith, positive thinking, or Christian optimism. The faith that we have in Christ is a sure foundation of our beliefs that brings forth a living hope. The more we grow in our relationship with God, the more our faith increases and with that, the increase of our h...

The writer of Hebrews lays out numerous warnings to Christians throughout the book. Today we review the warning of apostasy. Apostasy means abandonment or renunciation of religious beliefs. One sign of apostasy is a life style of deliberate, unrepentant sinning. "For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin, but a fear...

This week, Pastor Seth discusses in detail why God requires bloodshed for the forgiveness of sins. "Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." Why did things have to be this way? Why did God set up a system where only death can serve as atonement for sins? If God has all foreknowledge; then why did He create h...

This week Pastor Jim explains the layout of the temple and the regulations of worship described in the Old Testament. When Jesus appeared as a high priest, He entered into the holy places once and for all! He did not make sacrifices of goats and bulls, but who through the eternal Spirit, offered Himself without blemish to God purifying our conscience from dead works to serve a living God!

Pastor Seth discusses how Jesus brings a "new and improved" covenant built on better promises. Jesus is our high priest who is seated at the right hand of God. That means, His work is finished! In the old covenant the law was written on tablets of stone, and now, the new covenant the law is written on our hearts.

In the Old Testament, God dwelt in the holy of holies only accessible by the high priest which was prevented by death from continuing in office. In the New Testament, we have a high priest- holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted by the heavens. Jesus, our high priest, has no need to offer daily sacrifices for His people since He did this "once and for all" when He offered H...

Pastor Jim continues on with our two part series concerning these relevant times. We should have wisdom and discernment concerning this current pandemic, but as Christians we are also to be watchmen warning the people of threats and deception. We are to stand up against the deception that produces fear used by the enemy. Today we see this deception being propagated by media and news channels that...

Pastor Jim discusses the importance of governing authorities in our lives. All government is established by God, but what happens when the government tries to surpass our conscious, faith, and beliefs? Do we continue to on obey the government or do we obey God's Word? In times of distress we need discernment on when to hold fast to God's Word despite the government's commands that may say otherwis...

Pastor Seth discusses the importance of having unwavering faith during trialing times. Abram was promised many children in his old age and despite his physical situation he did not waver in his faith. Abram believed that because God made a promise, He was fully able to fulfill it. We must learn the important truths of having unwavering faith. If God said it, He will fulfill it!

Continuing on through the book of Hebrews, Pastor Jim discusses the importance of moving forward in our faith. Once we have learned the basics principals of Christianity we must move forward and go beyond the basics. If we continue in our walk with the Lord, nothing can separate us from His love. God's love towards us is above our failures, our past, and our present fears. Perfect love casts out f...

This week Pastor Seth continues on with our series through the book of Hebrews. He discuss how the writer of Hebrews lays out the qualifications of the High Priest and how Jesus fulfilled them all. Then, at the end of the chapter, the writer lays out another danger to the believers. The danger of growing dull of hearing do to not growing in the faith. God expects spiritual growth from us. If we st...

Pastor Seth discusses why our entire Christian faith hinges on the event of the resurrection. Paul said, "If Christ didn't rise from the dead then our preaching is useless and so is our faith."

The Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two edged sword! The Bible is the only divinely inspired and inerrant book in existence. It is the only book that, the more you read it the more it changes you into the image of Christ from the inside out. Pastor Jim also discusses how we can come to Jesus because He was tempted in every way we have been, yet did not sin. That means Jesus s...
