The Gospel accounts of Jesus, post-resurrection, are surprisingly short. But the things He did in the presence of His disciples and the words He spoke to them not only caused them to reevaluate everything else He had told them, but also to see the entire Old Testament in a different light. Join us as we take a look at the disciples as they step into the life Jesus called them to, A.D. me...

For the last few weeks, we've learned about how the disciples found it impossible to believe that Jesus was actually going to die. How much harder must it have been for them to believe He would rise from the dead? But just as His death brought them to a place of depression and fear, His resurrection would bring them to a place of joy and victory! Let's look at how Jesus' resurrection changes...

Tonight Pastor Mike encourages us to finish our course by living a life of faith and following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Part of this is knowing God's word, running the race of life with endurance, and using the name of Jesus to overcome challenges. We will also face challenges to our faith, such as failure to understand righteousness, failure to act upon the word of God, and failure to hold...

An amazing portion of the gospel accounts takes place between Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem and His crucifixion. We're going to be looking at three statements made during that week: one from the high priest, one from the Jewish masses, and one from the religious leaders, and see how they can be interpreted as prophecy and prayers that continue to echo through the ages. Join us...

Drawing from Philippians and 2 Timothy, Pastor Mike emphasizes the importance of pressing forward in faith, despite obstacles and temptations. Using the example of Jesus' temptation in Luke 4, we see the power of God's Word in overcoming challenges and we are encouraged to remain rooted in God's Word. Pastor Mike also highlights the need for vigilance against spiritual attacks, urging believers to...

It's amazing to think about all the things Jesus did, all the people He impacted, and all the places He went in just three years of ministry on earth. Scripture even makes it clear that He did many, many more things that are not recorded. But never forget, that everywhere He went, everything He did, and everyone He met, took Him one step closer to His crucifixion. Join us for a new serie...

Despite knowing infinitely less than He does, we often find ourselves attempting to revise the Lord's instructions. Why do we do this? God has our best interest at heart, and even though we sometimes have our own "great plans," His direction requires no amending on our part. Hosted on Acast.

It seems incredible, but it often happens that in our efforts to be better at serving, obeying, studying, praying, etc, we forget, for all intents and purposes, that the defining characteristic of the Christian life is LOVE. We say we know it, but it is easy to lose sight of the fact that all those other pursuits are futile without the overarching motive of love. Love for God, for our neighbor, fo...

Christ has bestowed upon the church a diverse array of gifts — apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—each with a distinct role in equipping God's people for service and nurturing the body of Christ. This divine orchestration is designed to foster unity, maturity, and spiritual resilience within the church, guiding believers toward a deepened faith and knowledge of God's Son. This...

Revival must first come through the church! Is the church slumbering in survival mode? As long as we are trying to just survive or get by, we will lose our perspective to revive. We will live an apathetic existence. We must be revived so that we can reach out to the world with the Gospel, and do it in the power of God. “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were co...

Not everyone is called to occupational ministry. All, however, are called to preach the Gospel. How do natural giftings, spiritual gifts, and ministry gifts interact, and what does that mean regarding the responsibilities of the Christian layman?  Hosted on Acast.

What kind of church are we? Charismatic? Word of Faith? Non-Denominational? Full Gospel? The danger and weakness of clinging to certain descriptives is that some of them are loaded with presuppositional baggage, and all fall short of truly answering the question "what kind of church are we?" This is true of almost all churches. We make assumptions about what a person believes based...

We see the crazy direction the world, and our society is headed and we look to the heavens and say "I'm ready to go Home." The early church, from the moment Jesus ascended, was looking to His return. However, there is a purpose in God's delay... we have a job to do while we wait. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Many, many people have succumbed to destructive lifestyles. Not just bad habits that hurt themselves, but a way of living that tears down those around them as well. As believers, we are called to edify ourselves and one another. Join us as Pastor Scott fills in some gaps from last week and let's learn about developing a desire to build (edify) the church and ourselves, and cultivate an appeti...
