The good news of Jesus Christ will not reach all corners of the world if YOU do not share it!

Because of the obvious differences between light and darkness, it is easy to spot darkness and light in the world. Unfortunately it is a little harder to spot that in people’s lives. God created it as so, He said the light was good and therefore we’re to strive for light… for good! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will show you how light and darkness effect people and just life in general, and how...

Submission is one of the most forgotten and misunderstood things in christianity. Oftentimes people are weary because it has been misrepresented and abused, so we shy away from it for obvious reasons. In today’s message, Pastor Gary will share the biblical definition of submission and how God intended it from the start. Submission isn’t just rolling over and doing whatever someone says, it is reco...

God wants to fill you with His presence and bless you with many gifts! When He does that, He wants you to share them with everyone! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will share about the many blessings of Jesus and how they are direct proof of His love!

God has perfect timing that we will NEVER understand! In our minds, we can only comprehend (sometimes) what has happened or what is happening.

In today’s message, Pastor Gary will encourage you as you may be worried about the future, past, or even present, remember...

Ever feel like you don’t belong, like life’s pushed you to the margins? In today’s message, Pastor Gary discusses Mark 5:19, when Jesus frees a man from demons—a man so broken, his community shunned him, leaving him to dwell only among graves.

Are you stuck in your own daily grind, wondering if there’s a bigger purpose? In today’s message, Pastor Gary brings up Peter, Andrew, James, and John—four ordinary fishermen.

In today’s message, Pastor Gary discusses Luke 4, where it says Jesus preached with astonishing power—not a passive glow, but an active, life-altering force that gripped hearts.

Ever met someone claiming spirituality because of flashy gifts, yet they’re mean, judgmental, or cruel? In today’s message, Pastor Gary makes a point about the Spirit’s fruit. They’re like the heartbeat of God’s character in us. Gifts of the Spirit, like prophecy or healing, show His power, but without fruit? They’re hollow. You can have fruit without gifts, but gifts without fruit aren’t truly Hi...

Pride is one of the main things that gets in the way of our relationship with God and His people…and surprisingly enough, God allows this type of pride in our hearts, so that we can learn humility; We can learn to be submissive to a higher power than ourselves. We need God, no matter what our pride may say, we cannot do life without Him. In today’s message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to set yo...

God is a good God, and He demands true and sacrificial worshi...

God allows hard times in our lives to test us…to test our faith and trust in Him!

In today’s message, Pastor Gary will remind you that if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, then you have the strength...

Trusting God with our family, finances, and future isn’t easy…but it is necessary! We can’t say we trust God and want Him to direct our lives and then not move an inch to obey. Whether God gives us an undeniable sign or not, we have to move; God cannot direct us if we’re not actively obeying…simply put…He can’t steer a parked car! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will show you how simply acting upo...

In life, we will go through hard times and good times…we know this. But, more often than not, we forget why this is. God gives us ups and downs in life to teach us! Whether it is to depend on Him for what we need on a daily basis or remembering to bless Him when He does provide what we need, we need to learn! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will remind you that as you go through different seasons...

After reading stories in the Bible of all God has done and all His people have done through the power of the Holy Spirit, how could you not want Him to intercede in your life?!

Death is no longer a worry, your unending cycle of sin is no longer a concern,...

We will never get to a place where we don’t need forgiveness from God, not until we’re in heaven with God. In today’s message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to read your Bible. Reading your Bible sets you up for success, it can reveal more of...

If you’re aligned with God and His word and He says you...

Have you ever had an addition or a major renovation done on your home? Before the job started, did the construction crew get a blueprint? Or, did they just make it up as they went? Today, Pastor Gary shows how Jesus Himself set the example of following God’s blueprint for His life. How well do you know God’s blueprint – the Bible? And knowing it, how carefully do you follow it? By examining how Je...

In the New Testament, we read a lot of details about the birth of Christ. And of course, we have vast information about the years of His ministry. But what happened in between? Today, Pastor Gary shares some key insights from those few verses that describe Jesus’ childhood, and how they relate to our lives. What does the grace of God do in your life?

That’s the worst, isn’t it? Today, in his message, Pastor Gary teaches you that if you’re a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian, then God is with you now. The Holy Spirit is God...

Sometimes it’s hard to separate the message from the messenger. Perhaps someone you don’t particularly like tells you something that you know is true and important. Or maybe a friend says something that’s right, but you don’t appreciate the way they said it. What should you do? Today, Pastor Gary reminds us that we need to listen to the message, regardless of from whom, or how, it’s delivered. Be...

There are a lot of things in this world that are clamoring for our attention – all the time.

Would it be possible to be so overwhelmed with these things that we miss what’s most important? As Pastor Gary shares today, not only can we miss the point, but we usually do. During Jesus’s lif...
