An in-depth study of James 5:7-20.

In Genesis 18, God speaks his promises to Abraham. But how do we know what God wants to say to us? Guest speaker Stephan Tchividjian takes the ideas from this passage of Scripture and offers three ways we can better have a relationship with God: by listening to Him, waiting patiently on Him, and obeying Him.

For 2500 years (from 586 B.C. until 1948 A.D.) the Jewish people had no homeland, no government, and not even a common language (Hebrew had been replaced by Aramaic and later, Yiddish). How could a dispersed, oppressed, and nearly massacred people ever be reestablished as a nation? Answer—by the providential hand of God. Around the turn of the 20th century, God began moving in the hearts of Jews dispersed around the world to return to Israel (to make “aliyah”). The Zionist movement began, and there was a revival of the Hebrew language, and the British Parliament had partitioned the Middle East to allow a homeland for the Jewish people. On May 14, 1948 David Ben-Gurion declared Israel’s independence and in response every neighboring Arab nation attacked Israel. But when the dust had settled, the State of Israel emerged by the powerful hand of God. It was a fulfillment of Ezekiel 36-37. Join Pastor Gary for the first part in a 3-part series entitled, “Israel and the End Times.”

An in-depth study of James 4:13-17, 5:1-6.

In Luke 15, we see two very different characters presented through “The Parable of the Lost Son”. Although both the “prodigal” son and the older son have encounters with the Father, the difference between them is simple: repentance. Often, that is the only thing keeping us from God, too. Watch as guest speaker Matt Maher walks through this story, and reveals that whether we identify with the prodigal, leading a rebellious life, or the older son in his stoic self-righteousness, we are all in need of Jesus.

An in-depth study of 1 Corinthians 3.

When we are not right with God—when we have unconfessed sin in our lives, or when we are walking in disobedience to God—we will start to feel the weight of our sin. It can be heavy. So much so, that sometimes people feel in despair of life under the crushing weight of sin. But God sent His Son Jesus to lift the burden of sin from our lives and to free us from its accompanying guilt and shame. Join Pastor Gary for today’s teaching as he shares from Ezekiel 33 and Matthew 11 about how we can lose the weight of sin.

An in-depth study of James 4:8-16.

In Philippians 1:6, Paul describes God’s promise to carry out His good work in the lives of believers. Guest Speaker Garid Beeler expands on this idea, and how it affects the way we as Christians should live: in full belief and confidence of the Lord’s will in our lives. Even when times are hard, we can rest knowing His plan is unfolding around us.

An in-depth study of Acts 27-28.

In 2 Corinthians 12:7 Paul describes “a thorn in the flesh” that was given to him. This affliction was not meant to drag him down, but to keep him humble and in need of God. In this sermon, entitled “Ministry of Thorns”, Matt Maher unpacks this passage to take an honest look at the “thorns” in our own lives and how God can use them to glorify Himself.

An in-depth study of Psalms 107.

How much do you know about Satan? He is determined to wreck your life, your marriage, your family, and your future. The Bible calls him our “adversary” and our “enemy”. Jesus said he is “a liar and the father of lies.” Satan is always trying to deceive us, tempt us, and lie to us. In Ezekiel 28, God describes Satan using the king of Tyre as a picture or a type of the devil. In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary teaches us three simple ways we can stand against the Enemy.
