Whom God Calls, He Equips
July 07, 2024 17:29 - 50.5 MBIn Ezra 1:1-11, King Cyrus was mightily used by God to accomplish his will, even though he was not a Jewish believer, but a foreign king. God blessed him greatly, and stirred up his heart to repatriate the scattered Jews, who were in exile in Babylon. Not only did Cyrus allow the Jews to repatriate back to Jerusalem, he also facilitated the rebuilding of the temple destroyed by king Nebuchadnezzar. Sometimes, we struggle to understand God’s ways in our lives. But this prophetic story show...
Repent & Be Saved
June 30, 2024 17:33 - 49.8 MBA fundamental verse in the Christian faith is I John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The whole of scripture is very clear that confessing our sins or repentance, and faith in God to forgive us our sins results in salvation. There is not a substitute for repentance and faith that can ensure salvation. Some popular statements used today completely ignore the requirement of repentance. How tragic for th...
Fringe Benefits
June 23, 2024 17:30 - 56.8 MBIn Numbers 15:37-41 God provided fringe benefits to the Children of Israel. He instructed Moses to tell the Israelites to sew fringes, or tassels, onto the hems of their garments. This accomplished two things: 1) it identified them to the world as God’s chosen people and 2) the fringe was to be used as a visual reminder for them not to follow their own hearts and will, and not to commit sin against God. In the New Testament, the Pharisees also wore fringes—but they elongated them in ord...
Fathers, He's Got You Covered
June 16, 2024 17:33 - 48.1 MBToday is Father’s Day, when we celebrate our fathers. Jesus loved his father! He prayed, Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name! Proverbs 23:24 says that, The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him. The Father God was well pleased in His righteous son! Yet, God’s heart, as well as ours, is for the fatherless. Psalm 68:5 says that the Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation, and Deutero...
There is No Condemnation in Christ
June 09, 2024 17:30 - 58.9 MBRomans 8:1-2 tells us that there is no condemnation—no condemnation to eternity in hell, for those who are in Christ Jesus! Because, if we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior, we have the Spirit of Life in us, and He has set us free from the condemnation of sin and death through the blood of Jesus, which he shed at Calvary’s cross. But still, we sometimes wonder, have we done enough or believed enough to make the Heavenly Team? Further in Romans 8 we learn that there is an absolut...
Are You Weary In Well Doing?
June 02, 2024 17:30 - 73.9 MBIn Galatians 6:2-10 Paul admonished those who name the name of Christians to take care of one another; to bear each other’s burdens and in so doing, we will fulfill the law of Christ. The law of Christ is to love one another, just as the ultimate burden bearer, Jesus, bore our sins in his own body. In Verse 7-8, Paul warns against becoming impressed by our own worth—for doing so brings deception! But God is neither deceived, nor mocked, for He certainly knows the source from which we sow—...
The Value of the Journey
May 26, 2024 17:33 - 47.5 MBThe value of our life’s journey can be seen in both natural and spiritual ways. The life experiences we have and the character that is developed, are all part of our journey. Sometimes it turns out like we expect, and sometimes it doesn't. In the Luke 19 Parable of the Minas (about three month’s wages) Jesus tells about three different men, and how their life’s journey—their experience to handle situations, their business skill sets, and their character, prepared them for a significant te...
Delayed By Love Part 2 - Lazarus Lives
May 19, 2024 17:27 - 74.2 MBI John 11 Martha, Mary and the Jews each said, if only Jesus had been here, Lazarus wouldn’t have died. In other words, had Jesus done what they'd asked, when they'd asked, this wouldn’t have happened. Sounds familiar, hmmm? Jesus was not taken by surprise by Lazarus’ death, but they couldn’t comprehend what Jesus said they would see—the glory of God, because they’d only seen Him heal sick people before now. Jesus challenged their faith to believe for something more than they already knew...
Delayed By Love Part 1
May 12, 2024 17:33 - 54.8 MBIn John 11:1-16, Jesus’ disciples couldn’t understand why Jesus didn’t go to Lazarus the minute that he heard that his good friend was ill. They couldn’t even imagine what Jesus had planned. A plan that was, until this miracle, yet unseen, but as Jesus said, was for their sakes—so they would believe in Him. Then Jesus waited until Lazarus had been dead four full days before going to him. This was done so that God would get the glory, and to refute the superstitions believed by the Jews...
The Pillars of Cloud, Fire and the Rock
May 05, 2024 17:30 - 46.8 MBThe representation of Jesus in the Old Testament is very evident, for those who will see it. Scholars predominately agree that all the references to “The Angel of the Lord” is speaking of Jesus in each instance. In addition to The Angel of the Lord being the pre-incarnate Jesus, many also agree that Jesus can be seen in so many other manifestations in the OId Testament, and the words of Jesus himself, in the New Testament certainly support this. Join us for this interesting study in Exo...
Has Your Angel Moved?
April 28, 2024 17:38 - 50.3 MBIn the book of Exodus, when the Children of Israel left Egypt’s bondage bound for the Promised Land, God provided an angel in the form of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to go in front of them to lead them on the way. But, just at the time when they were seemingly trapped between the Red Sea and the Pharoah's encroaching army, facing certain death either way they turned, God strategically moved…i.e., repositioned, the all-important angel of the Pillar of Cloud from ...
Do Not Fear the Great Horde
April 21, 2024 17:30 - 136 MBIn II Chronicles 20:12-24 King Jehoshaphat’s great horde of enemies were coming after him, so he went to prayer. Jehoshaphat said, we are powerless against this great horde and we don’t know what to do, but our eyes are upon you, Lord. God answered Jehoshaphat’s prayer through the prophet Jahaziel using the same language Jehoshaphat used saying, Do not fear nor be dismayed by the great horde, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Sometimes, like the king Jehoshaphat did, we have to be...
All Seeds Must Die
April 14, 2024 17:33 - 46.3 MBJesus said, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. A seed pod, so full of life and potential in itself, must fully surrender itself and die, become useless and dead, because the plant, which bears the fruit, grows from the life inside the seed, splitting apart and causing it to die. But without the seed, the plant has no chance of life. Similarly, the Apostle Paul explained the resurrection to the doubtful Corinthian...
The Sender of the Rain
April 07, 2024 17:35 - 59 MBIn Jeremiah 5:20-24 God instructs the prophet, Jeremiah, to tell the foolish and senseless people, in the house of Jacob and in Judah, that they need to fear the Lord. He said, I’m the One who drew the boundary of the sea in the sand and though the waves toss, they cannot prevail against that boundary. He also said, I am the One who sends the rain in its season, the autumn rains and the spring rains, and I am the One who keeps for you the weeks appointed for the harvest. Sounds pretty sur...
It Is Finished
March 31, 2024 17:32 - 61.1 MBIn John 19:28-30 when Jesus uttered the words “It Is Finished,” He meant a lot more than just the fact that his life on this earth was nearly over. Hebrews 2:10 tells us that Jesus’ obedience to the Father was perfected in his suffering on the cross, and through that suffering, Jew and Gentile were united in one spirit; the reign of eternal death was conquered and salvation was made available to all. Isaiah 53:5 tells us that the full payment for our sinful transgressions, our wicked iniqui...
The Contribution, The Team & The Sufficiency
March 24, 2024 17:32 - 54.6 MBWhen the Israelites were miraculously delivered by God from Egyptian bondage and slavery, they left Egypt with a vast amount of goods which was a fulfillment of scripture. Those goods were contributed by those people whose hearts were moved upon by the Holy Spirit to be used to build the tabernacle, where God himself would dwell and meet with the people. God endued two leaders, Bezelel and Oholiab, with very specific ability, intelligence and all knowledge and all craftsmanship to build...
The Blessing
March 10, 2024 17:37 - 57.4 MBThe Nazirite laws laid out in Numbers 6 governed how a person who wanted to make a vow to God must separate themselves and be dedicated only to God. These laws were strict and, if entered into, must be kept until they were completely accomplished. Then, after sacrificial offerings were made to God, the blessing would be given to them. Abraham also received great blessings from God, but it cost him faith through his obedience to leave his homeland of Ur, his family, wealth, and follow God ...
This, That and The Other Very Important Thing
March 03, 2024 18:29 - 70.5 MBIn Matthew 12:22-32 Jesus upset the religious leadership. He performed a miracle, healing a man who was blind and mute and the man both saw and spoke. But the Pharisees accused him of using Satan’s power to perform this miracle. The one thing God will not tolerate is attributing his divine power to Satan. It’s called blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, and it is the one and only unforgivable sin. This sin can only be committed by an unrepentant unbeliever. It is the saddest sin for an unb...
An Easy Thing For God
February 25, 2024 18:30 - 62 MBIn II Kings 3:9-20 the three kings of Israel, Judah and Edom joined forces to fight against the far mightier king of Moab, King Mesha who was poised to conquer all of them. They consulted the prophet Elisha and the Lord gave Elisha a message of deliverance for the three kings united against Moab. Elisha said, “this is a light thing in the sight of the Lord.” God worked a true miracle in providing needed water for the armies and horses, and gave the Moabites into their hands. If you, too...
Take It In Stride
February 18, 2024 18:30 - 37 MBWant to know how to ‘take it in stride’ and not get tripped up when we hit a curve on life’s pathway? Proverbs Chapter 4:1-4 instructs us to seek hard after God’s wisdom and, to develop good judgment. Verse 12 says that, when we are equipped with these two weapons, we will not be hindered nor restricted by whatever befalls our path and, when we run, we will not stumble or fall. Jude Verse 24-25 confirms this; Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the ...
Put Your Faith In Him
February 11, 2024 18:30 - 52.4 MBLuke 24 records the two men walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus after Jesus’ death and they said, we had hoped that he was the Messiah, the one sent to rescue Israel—but now, he’s dead and our hope is gone. Like we do, too, they assume’d that their circumstance was too much for God to change! But when they came to know Jesus was alive, they said, didn’t our hearts burn within us when he explained the scriptures to us! Just before his ascension, Jesus also opened the scriptures about hims...
A Sign For The Unbeliever - Acts 2-4
February 04, 2024 18:33 - 66.9 MBIn Acts 2-3 we see the Holy Spirit working miracles through the early church to capture the attention of unbelievers and open their hearts to the gospel message. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He is still calling to the unbeliever. Like the church in Acts 4, we diligently pray that the Holy Sprit work miracles through us as a sign to the unbeliever that the gospel is Truth. [In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit falls on all gathered in the upper room and they begin speaking in u...
Barometer of Discipleship
January 28, 2024 18:30 - 43.2 MBThe measurement, or barometer of discipleship that Jesus taught in Luke 14:25-35 was certainly not easy to achieve. He spoke of ‘hating’ those we love most, the point being that we cannot derive personal comfort nor satisfaction by loving anyone else more than we derive by loving Christ! He spoke of carrying our own cross—just as He did on the way to his own death, and finally, counting the high cost of being a disciple, for he knew it would cost us something of ourselves. It doesn’t s...
I'll Meet You There
January 21, 2024 18:32 - 36.9 MBFrom the beginning of creation, God sought a way to commune with man, but sin was always in the way. In Exodus 24 and 25, God formed a plan and created a place for this communion to take place, and He told Moses, you build it this way, and I'll meet you there! But first, the sin issue had to be dealt with by the sprinkling of the blood of the animal sacrifices upon the elements of the tabernacle, the altar and finally, the people, themselves. Only then could they approach the Holy God....
Mount Zion
January 14, 2024 18:32 - 68.8 MBMount Zion is prevalent throughout scripture. It was a physical mountain in ancient Jerusalem, but it was also used to describe the Jewish Nation, and it is referred to as the Heavenly Jerusalem and will be the physical location of the Millennial Jerusalem, and it was the very birthplace of the early church! Mount Zion was the dwelling place of God. It was where people physically came to worship God. Hebrews 12:18-24 NLT tells us that Jesus came as the fulfillment of Mount Zion—and that w...
Nahum's Hard Message
January 07, 2024 18:32 - 60.3 MBLess than 90 years after the prophet Jonah had preached to Ninevah that they must repent of their sin of idolatry and return to God, they’d not only fallen back into idolatry but had become so barbaric and cruel to the people of Israel that God had had enough and sent the prophet Nahum to Ninevah, but this time, it was to tell them of their certain, unavoidable destruction. This strong city that was considered virtually indestructible, was completely destroyed at God’s hand. Nahum 1:3 say...
My New Year’s Resolution
December 31, 2023 18:32 - 35 MBThe Lord gave Isaiah some very strong words about not following along with his culture, which we can certainly relate to today. V11 The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said, Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do, and don’t live in dread of what frightens them. Make the Lord of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life. He is the one you should fear. He is the one who should make you tremble. He will keep you safe. This is my New Year’s Re...
Joy To The World
December 24, 2023 18:30 - 36.7 MBIt can be hard for us to comprehend some portions of the Christmas story. While the joy that comes from the birth of a baby is easy to relate to, it’s harder for us to comprehend that, Jesus WAS—HE EXISTED, in all of His Heavenly, Kingly, status, before he was sent to earth in the flesh as a baby by His Father. We must remember, remember and worship, the one who LEFT the splendors of Heaven; who was separated from the comfort of His Father’s bosom and who lowered himself in status, to com...
The Prince of Peace
December 17, 2023 18:32 - 72.8 MBThe book of Isaiah prophecies the coming of the Son, who would be called the Prince of Peace. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Christians at Rome that the God of peace shall bruise Satan under our feet shortly. From the first prophecy of the promised Messiah through the final war between Jesus and Satan, when Jesus fully and finally crushes him, God had a plan that Jesus would be the Prince of Peace on earth. In the “in-between” times, right at the point where we live our very lives, Jesus...
What Worship Is And What It Is Not
December 10, 2023 18:29 - 38 MBGenesis 22:1 tells us that Abraham’s faith was tested by God. God required him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac, the son of promise to God. Abraham said that this act of service to the Lord was “Worship.” That’s a very, very different interpretation of what some modern-day church goers might call worship. It’s not fancy lights and loud music performed by an entertainment group. Romans says that worship is our spiritual service. Are we holding on to anything at all so tightly that we ...
Repentance Precedes Revival
December 03, 2023 18:29 - 52.5 MBRepentance always precedes revival. It’s God’s way. In the book of I Samuel Chapter 8, God had provided Israel with a righteous judge and prophet, Samuel. But the people rebelled, and demanded a king. Despite God’s warnings that a king would exact taxes from them, put their men into work camps and hijack their women for his own purposes, they still wanted a king. So God gave them Saul as their king. Saul had every outward appearance of a great king—but inwardly, he lacked righteous charac...
Thanksgiving Testimonies
November 26, 2023 18:29 - 121 MBLast week Pastor Debbie called on the congregation to prepare something uplifting and edifying to share with the church this week. Join us as we share our testimonies, favorite scriptures, or whatever else we felt may uplift and edify the church.
The Thankful Gentiles
November 19, 2023 18:32 - 43.3 MBThe Jewish leaders were so indoctrinated in the laws of Moses that they were blind to the message of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. In Acts 13, Paul built on the familiar, until in Acts 13:23, he told them: And it is one of King David’s descendants, Jesus, who is God’s promised Savior of Israel. There, he’d said it. Addressing yet another group of staunch Jewish leaders in Rome, in Acts 28:28, Paul said, Brethren,… I believe that the HOPE OF ISRAEL, THE MESSIAH, HAS ALREADY COME. But, sin...
Special Presentation & Discusison
November 12, 2023 18:30Once again Israel has come under attack and anti-semitism seems to be exploding all over the world. But what does the Bible say about God's relationship to Israel - in ancient times and today? Join us today in worship and as we present and discuss Tiff Shuttlesworth's "5 Common Myths About Israel".
Two Yokes
November 05, 2023 18:30 - 47.7 MBYokes are intended to equalize the weight of a heavy load between a team of animals. It serves them well as long as the animals don’t rebel under the yoke. God told the prophet Jeremiah to fashion a yoke around his own neck as an illustrated sermon to show the people of Israel that they soon would be under the yoke of the King of Babylon because of their sin. He warned them not to listen to their false prophets who would say that all was well and that God would not put them under the fore...
Faith or Fear?
October 29, 2023 17:29 - 40.7 MBFaith or Fear? Sometimes, because we are 100% human, it’s both. The Prophet of Israel, Elijah was mightily used by God in I Kings Chapters 18 &19. He did mighty things through God, but his humanness was a big struggle for him. He was called to a confrontational type of ministry—one that required introspection and personal decision. He asked the people, “How long will you waiver between two opinions? If God is God, then serve Him, but if Baal is god, then serve him!" The people didn’t like...
Remember Your Spiritual Landmarks
October 22, 2023 17:30 - 49.7 MBIt’s important to God that we remember. Like in Joshua, Chapter 4, where He instructed Joshua to have the priests erect memorial stones so that they would always have a marker by which to remember God’s miraculous deliverance of them out of Egypt. In Deuteronomy 19:14 God told the people not to forget the landmarks, the stones that would mark their properties in the new Promised Land, and not to move their neighbor’s landmarks. Physical landmarks are good, but spiritual landmarks of where...
The Past Into the Present
October 15, 2023 17:32 - 32.9 MBHave you ever felt like you’ve lived through something before? Deja vu? We can find the answer to this in Ecclesiastes 3:15! What is happening now has happened before and what will happen in the future has happened before, because God makes the same things happen over and over again. When God brings the past into a believer’s present, He is virtually giving us a do-over to learn from our mistakes the first time around, repent, and do it better the next time. For non believers, He’s giving...
Order Out Of Chaos
October 08, 2023 17:32 - 38.3 MBI Corinthians 14:33 tells us that God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. From the beginning, on the very first day of creation, through the power of the Holy Spirit, God established order out of chaos. He brought form and filled the voids with all things pertaining to life and godliness. He did the same with the coming of Christ; all things done in the order in which God intended it. Jesus’ birth, life, death and resurrection all in accordance ...
The Drink Offering
October 01, 2023 17:35 - 64.2 MBIt is said that the drink offering described in Numbers 15 represents the works that the worshipper did in order to make the sacrifice. The drink offering was not shared with the priests or the worshippers, but was only for God. Jesus, under the New Covenant, became our sacrifice, and when he was offered once and for all, the Old Testament sacrifices were abolished. But, the drink offerings—the worshipper’s efforts and works for others, are still required by God! Romans 1:1-2 tells us tha...
God's Dual Intent
September 24, 2023 17:32 - 39.6 MBGod had a dual intent and purpose for the children of Israel. On the one hand, He wanted them to learn to trust Him, depend fully upon Him, but He also wanted to bless them. To provide for them. So He took them through the desert, through hardships and trials to teach them. And God will do the same for us. Whatever it takes—whatever it costs, for us to learn to trust Him, for as Psalm 46:1-3 assures us, He is our refuge and our strength, our very present help in time of trouble. Even when...
Do It All in the Name of Jesus
September 17, 2023 17:30 - 32.5 MBOne of the most confusing aspects of Jesus’ power is that of healing. Isaiah 53:5 tells us that the reason Jesus bore vicious beatings and the stripes on his back was for our healing. Jesus healed every single person who came to him in faith. He also said that those who believe and follow him will have visible signs that follow them—signs that identify believers with Jesus. One of those signs listed in Mark 16:18 includes that believers who have faith in Jesus will lay their hands on sick...
A Form of Godliness
September 10, 2023 17:32 - 44.5 MBIn the 17th Chapter of Judges is a very disturbing story of how a mother and son blended the teachings of God, which they knew from childhood from the Books of the Law written by Moses, with idolatry to suit themselves. On the one hand, the mother was thankful to God for the good fortune of the return of her stolen money (stolen by her own son!), but on the other hand, she used part of the money to create idols for her son’s house and the son used his own son as a fake priest, overseeing hi...
A Prophecy, A Prayer & A Praise
September 03, 2023 17:30 - 52 MBA prophecy, a prayer, and a praise. Many times, God uses the physical realm as a prophetic model of what He plans to do in the spiritual realm. This has recently happened at our church. In Job, God instructed Job to pray for his friends as they made a sacrifice to God because they mis-spoke about God to Job. In doing so, God doubly restored all Job’s losses. Focusing on others is paramount to our own healing. Praise God for the entirety of the Bible, the logos, which is the inspired...
Present Your Evidence
August 27, 2023 17:29 - 40.3 MBHave you ever felt the need to present your evidence in God’s courtroom of prayer? King Hezekiah did in II Kings 18-19, when Sennacherib, the wicked king of Assyria and his even more wicked cup bearer, Rabshakeh, came against him to seize the throne in Judah. They brought railing taunts and blasphemies against the Lord God of Israel, so Hezekiah took it to prayer, calling out their crimes and presented all the evidence before God. God heard Hezekiah and confirmed with signs that He woul...
Beware of Deception
August 13, 2023 17:33Audio Block Double-click here to upload or link to a .mp3. Learn more The Bible speaks very clearly about deception, especially in the last days. We see deception in our society at every turn and if not careful, can become conditioned to it. Psalm 12 talks about three types of deception; vanity, which we tell ourselves, flattery, which others tell us, and if these are left to take seed in our hearts they can lead to blasphemy against God. Deception was pro...
But Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord
August 06, 2023 17:33 - 41.9 MBGenesis Chapter 6 paints a very bleak picture of how evil man had become in such a short time from creation. The Bible says that every thought was continually evil. Yet, in the midst of all that debauchery, there was a man who was pure in heart and walked with God. Noah was that man and that’s why God chose him to build the ark, to sustain the flood and repopulate the earth. Sometimes we might become overwhelmed with the conditions in which we live today. But. like Noah, if we remain pu...
Blessed, Fruitful and Virtuous
July 30, 2023 17:30 - 54.6 MBHave you ever wondered why, and how you ended up here on earth? In Genesis 1:26 God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness and He created male and female; and then God BLESSED them, charged them to be fruitful, and gave them dominion over every living thing that moved upon the earth. There’s how. Wise King Soloman said in Ecclesiastes 7:29 But this one thing I’ve found, God created man to be virtuous. In John 15:16, Jesus said, I appointed you that you would go and bear fr...
Stephen Saw Jesus
July 23, 2023 17:30 - 41.4 MBAnd Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people. Acts 6:8. Stephen was used powerfully by God in the demonstration of miracles and in preaching the Word of God. But, yet, evil men took his life for his good deeds. So, where is the hope in this message? It is in this: that even as these evil-doers were stoning Stephen to death, he looked into Heaven and saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God, waiting to receive his spirit into everlasti...
Encounters With God
July 16, 2023 17:27 - 66.2 MBHave you ever had an encounter with God? Isaiah saw the Lord, high and lifted up in the Temple and he felt overwhelmed and unholy in the presence of a Holy God. Moses had an encounter with God when God called him from the burning bush and charged him with leading the children of Israel out of Egypt and he felt incapable. Jacob physically wrestled with God for his blessing, and he was left with a permanent physical mark from the encounter. God wants to have encounters with us but we mus...
