Anything involving the devil is not something we, as Christ’s followers should mess around with. It is VERY serious! The devil does have a lot of evil tricks he uses to distract us and try to get us farther from God…but, God is more powerful! No doubt about it!!! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will share how most people deal with the devil by either ignoring him or joking around…we should be det...

Becoming prideful is quite possibly one of the most easy things to do in our culture today. There are SO many opportunities to brag about ourselves and more often than not…we take those opportunities. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will show you how there is truly only one area of your life where you should be prideful…and that’s your faith! Pastor Eddie will show you all the opportunities YOU h...

As Christians, we’re called to follow the laws that God has put into place for our well-being. One of those laws is to follow the rules of our governments and those in law enforcement…and more often than not, we tend to try and find a way out of following those laws of man. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will remind you that God specifically tells us to respect and be peaceful with the worldly a...

Just like a shepherd protects their sheep, God protects us! The analogy we see in the Bible of us Christians as sheep and God as our shepherd is SO incredibly accurate! Since the Bible was written to now! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will show you all the ways that just a shepherd, Jesus takes care of us! All the ways He looks out for us and keeps us out of danger! Because of that mighty prote...

What better description do we have for our relationship with our Heavenly Father other than Him being our Shepherd?! The Bible is SO clear and throughout when it describes Him as being that protective hand guiding us, His sheep, into joyful lives! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will encourage you to picture God as your altruistic shepherd! He WILL leave the ninety-ninety sheep just to go and fin...

Suffering is inevitable in this life…but the reasons for which we suffer do matter and we can roughly control the reasons we suffer. We can decide whether to purposefully sin or we can decide to purposefully chase after God and share all about His Good News! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will challenge you to share about the Lord’s good name no matter the consequences! Choose to praise God amid...

Does it ever feel like there are way too many commandments in Scripture for you to possibly keep track of? It’s like spinning 600 plates and making sure not one of them falls off of its perch. But Pastor Eddie reminds you today that you aren’t meant to be able to keep all of those rules on your own. In fact, the only person able to meet God’s standard of perfection is Jesus, who made a way for you...

Have you watched a powerlifter working out at the gym? They seem to endlessly stack on weights to their exercises until they’re lifting hundreds of pounds, sometimes almost effortlessly. Well, Pastor Eddie wants you to know today that you can have that kind of strength in your faith, but it won’t come easy. There will be a lot of suffering and pain along the way, but God’s promise is that there is...

In today’s message, Pastor Eddie reminds you that suffering on account of your faith in Jesus isn’t just normal, it’s something to be expected. You may not suffer the same persecution that the early Church did, but you will be subject to suffering on Earth either way. But be of good cheer, because God is on your side, and He will not let you suffer forever! By enduring through the suffering, your...

Every one of us has been given spiritual gifts from God. The purpose of these gifts are to equip us to serve the body of Christ, as well as the nonbelievers around us. But Pastor Eddie teaches today that it is easy to ignore the gifts you have been given, to disobey the word of God, and to keep the gift to yourself. But if you want to follow God’s commandments and receive His favor, use the gifts...

Being part of God’s big family is bound to be a little crazy! You are part of a mix of all kinds of different people and nationalities, and you may not look like or get along super well with every single person you meet. However, Pastor Eddie reminds you today that you are called to be part of Christ’s example, set apart from the world to redirect people’s attention toward Him. Reflect Jesus in ev...

How often do you think about the End Times? It can feel like you’re on pins and needles waiting for Jesus to come rapture the Church away. Pastor Eddie even explains the phrase “the Kingdom of God is at hand”, which means that the Kingdom is so close you can almost taste it! We may not know the exact year, month, day, or hour of Jesus’ return, but we can prepare our hearts for His coming so that w...

There are some people out there that use the grace of God like a hall pass. While they are under God’s grace, they think they can sin as much as they want because they’ll just ask God for forgiveness and everything will be fine. But Pastor Eddie teaches you today to not take your chances, God is a patient God, but His patience isn’t unlimited. Don’t live a life of needless sin, but align yourself...

Jesus has set the perfect example for us as believers! He remained joyful in the face of suffering and did not sin even when He was being nailed to the cross. Pastor Eddie teaches today that even though that may seem like a difficult standard to live up to, it becomes easier when you think about the joy that is in the life ahead, the hope of eternal life in Heaven. You don’t have to fear persecuti...

Living for God is not meant to be an easy thing! If you look back through history, you see how early Christians faced persecution from religious and government leaders alike. Although the nature of persecution is different today, Pastor Eddie warns you that the path of Christ is not going to be an easy one. Staying faithful to Him will come with its own challenges, and you will have to make the de...

Have you ever seen videos of colorblind people seeing in full color for the first time through special glasses? Well, those glasses just help interpret the colors into colors that they can see. But Pastor Eddie teaches today that when God opens your eyes to the spiritual realm, you’re seeing what’s really going on behind the scenes of the physical world. There are spiritual forces at play in many...

Have you left a cookie jar open within reach of young children? Well, you may just turn around and realize that all of the cookies are gone! Pastor Eddie teaches today that when Jesus died on the cross, he took all of the Old Testament saints out of Hades and Sheol, and took them to Heaven! Even though there was no way for them to reach Heaven in their own lifetimes, the Lord was faithful to His s...

Have you ever sat down and read through an instruction manual? Whether it’s for a new car or a coffee maker, the instructions are written to help you understand how to properly use and care for the product. Pastor Eddie teaches today about how important it is for Christians to imitate Christ so that they can be an instruction manual for others. Be an example of Christ-like living so that others ca...

As Pastor Eddie continues his teaching series through the book of 1 Peter, he’ll be challenging you to be a blessing to those in the Body and to pursue unity. To be of one mind is to be like-minded or united in intent and purpose. The purpose of Christian unity is that “the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me”. It’s a very poor testimony to be at odds wit...

Today, Pastor Eddie will be exhorting believers to “be of one mind”. This unity is important because all Christians are on the same team, especially those in a local body. A team falls apart and loses its aim when it is not of one mind. When we treat believers as Christ has called us to, we can be of one mind in what we believe and, in our actions, to glorify God. One of the last things Jesus pray...

As Pastor Eddie continues his teaching series through the book of 1 Peter, he’ll be explaining God's design for marriage and how important submission is in the home. Submission should be a natural response to loving leadership. When a husband loves his wife as Christ loves the church, then submission is a natural response from a wife to her husband. But, regardless of the husband’s love or lack th...

Submission is an important issue concerning marriage. Here is the plain biblical command: “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord”. Today, Pastor Eddie will be reminding you that submission is not weakness, but strength. Wives submit to their own husbands, and the husbands submit to Jesus in reverence. Husbands are commanded to love their wives as Christ loves the Chur...

Submission is a concept that seems to go against the grain of human nature, and yet we all see the need for it in certain aspects of life. As Pastor Eddie continues his teaching series through the book of 1 Peter, he’ll be explaining that without submission, things quickly fall into chaos as everyone strives to be in charge. Even though it is sometimes mocked as a sign of weakness, submission is r...

Today, Pastor Eddie will be explaining to you that there is no doubt that persecution is a reality of living the Christian life. Christian persecution is to be expected: the apostle Paul warned that “everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted”. Jesus said that, if they persecuted Him, they will also persecute His followers. Jesus made it clear that those of the worl...

As Pastor Eddie continues his teaching series through the book of 1 Peter, he’ll be explaining how you’re called to be set apart and holy unto the Lord. Although Peter is addressing Jewish believers specifically in this text, we discover that all believers will one day participate in God’s kingdom that will one day come to earth and that we are all serving as priests in the sense that we are procl...
