An in-depth study of Revelation 3.

Guest speaker Stephan Tchividjian uses the example of Peter to teach on God’s faithfulness in our lives.

An in-depth study of John 14.

People get hard hearts for a variety of reasons—sometimes because of SIN, and they have become hardened toward God; sometimes because of a DIFFICULT LIFE, and they have decided to build a hard, exterior shell around their heart so no one can get it; sometimes because of the fear of being VULNERABLE, and they have decided that it’s easier to hurt others before being hurt again; and sometimes because of PRIDE, and they have determined to be “tough” and “independent” without the need for God or others. Whatever the reason, God is in the business of healing hard hearts and making them tender again. Won’t you open yours up for God to do a little heart surgery today?

An in-depth study of James 1:21-2:9.

David said in Psalm 13:2, “How long must I wrestle with my thoughts?” Do you ever feel like that? Is your thought life something that is pleasing to God or displeasing to him? God knows our thoughts and desires that we think on things that bring glory and honor to Him. In Ezekiel 8, God gives Ezekiel a vision of what goes on in the dark recesses of the minds of the people of Judah so that Ezekiel can see how justified God is in His judgment against them. He sees vile things, impure images in a dark room. In today’s study, Pastor Gary challenges us about our own thought life and what we should do to guard our minds for God’s glory.

An in-depth study of James 1:9-20.

We are living in a time when it is easier to blame others than to take personal responsibility for something. Blame-shifting has been going on since the beginning of human history. When God confronted Adam and Eve about their disobedience, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. The theology of responsibility is simply this—every person is accountable to God for his/her own life. We cannot blame others or make excuses for our behavior or our lives. “Responsibility” is from two words—response and ability: the ability to choose a response that no longer blames others or makes excuses for one’s actions. Only then can we turn to God with humility and repentance and find His mercy and forgiveness.

An in-depth study of James 1:1-8.

On Easter we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! When He appeared to His disciples on that first day, the first thing He said to them was, “Peace be with you!” He repeated it two more times. Why did Jesus choose to emphasize “peace” three times? Because He knew that mankind’s greatest need was the need for God’s peace—to be at peace with God through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Join us for today’s teaching from John’s Gospel as Pastor Gary invites people to receive Christ as Lord and Savior and to experience the ultimate peace of God.

An in-depth study of Exodus 12.

As Jesus approached Jerusalem for the final week of His life prior to His crucifixion, He was met by those who were rejoicing and those who were rejecting Him. Even those who were rejoicing would soon cry out for His crucifixion when Jesus did not deliver the way they had hoped. That’s because Jesus’ mission was greater than providing political peace. Jesus came for the sins of the world to offer us personal peace with God through a relationship with Him. In today’s message, Pastor Gary connects the Palm Sunday story of the past with the present and the future—looking ahead to a time when all the saints will be worshiping Jesus around the throne of Heaven.

Join Pastor Gary as he fields questions about the book of Hebrews and other biblical topics.

The book of Lamentations is a book that “laments” the destruction of Jerusalem in 586B.C. by the Babylonians. Lamentations describes the tragic and terrible results of a people who rejected God—a people who refused to turn FROM their idolatry and sin and turn TO God. The consequences for their sin were devastating. But in the middle of all the sin and destruction and devastation emerges a passage from Chapter 3 about the love, mercy, compassion, and faithfulness of God! When we realize our own sinful condition and how it can leave us feeling discouraged, bitter, discontent, and distant from God, it’s important to remember that we can run to a God who is loving, compassionate, merciful, and faithful. And Lamentations 3:23 reminds us that all those qualities about God are new every morning! In other words, every day is a new day and another chance with the Lord! Whatever might be your past—whether yesterday or years ago—there is a fresh batch of God’s love, mercy, and compassion for you today.
