This week, Pastor Troy began a new study in the book of Daniel. Join us as we explore the context surrounding its authorship, historical background, and delve into chapter 1. 

Does the Bible truly say things like “Don’t Judge,” “Speak Your Truth,” and “Follow Your Heart”? These are concepts that the world often promotes as being present in the Bible, but does the Bible actually teach them? Pastor Troy digs into the Bible and examines these statements to uncover the truth. 

“God wants you to be happy,” “God helps those who help themselves,” “God will never give you more than you can handle,” and “God works in mysterious ways.” These are common beliefs, but did you know that the Bible doesn’t say that? In this week’s message, Pastor Troy delves into the Bible’s teachings on these topics. We pray you're encouraged.

Because believers have already been made new, the Christian life is not about striving under pressure, but living fr...
