Delighting in the Day of Small Things
December 29, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord delights to see the work begin... Zechariah 4:9 "I want to give you a great gift for the New Year and one of the greatest secrets you can ever learn about God: that He delights in small things and calls us to do the same!" Pastor Ray McCollum Please make plans to join us this weekend for a revelatory look at the power that God has hidden in the "small things" of life.
Dealing with Depression
December 22, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
God has given us the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness... Excerpt from Isaiah 61:3 Americans are battling depression at record levels, suicide rates are up, and the surveys say everything gets even worse at Christmas season. But there is help for the child of God. We hope you can be with us this weekend for a special message from Pastor Ray on how we can defeat the debilitating spirit of depression.
Healing and Health
December 15, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
The Jews of Jesus' day did not mind Jesus healing the paralytic but were offended when Jesus forgave his sins. Today we have opposite problem. The Church is comfortable with our message that Jesus forgives all our sins but gets uncomfortable if we say that Jesus heals all our sicknesses. Yet the obvious answer to Jesus' rhetorical question in Matthew 9:5 is it's just as easy for Him to heal His people as it was to save them!

8 Life Lessons From Almost 50 Years of Serving Jesus
December 8, 2018 • Larry Tomczak
As Daniel distinguished himself during a time that parallels our cultural decline, Larry Tomczak will take us on a journey through his life so we might also distinguish ourselves as informed influencers today. May we be inspired to live uncompromisingly yet winsomely in these perilous times.
War of the Worldviews
December 1, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" - John 11:24-26 Worldviews answer the most important questions of life, and what could be more important than the answer to the question, "What happens when you die?" We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray takes a revealing look at the only 3 possible answers to this question and why the biblical worldview is the only one that makes sense.
War of the Worldviews
November 17, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but are divinely powerful...2 Corinthians 10:3-4 Christians are in a war, but our enemies are not flesh and blood. Our warfare is spiritual and spiritual war requires spiritual weapons! But sadly, many of God's people know little or nothing about their spiritual weapons or how to use them. We hope you can be with us this weekend for this compelling message from Pastor Ray.
War of the Worldviews
November 10, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
Train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. - Proverbs 22:6 The near total abandonment of God and a radical commitment to the secular worldview in the institutions of American public education has brought our nation to the brink of anarchy and cultural collapse. Our only hope is that God will awaken the parents and grandparents of this generation to repent and return to the biblical mandate to take responsibility for the education of the next generation. The stakes could not possibly be higher.
War of the Worldviews
November 3, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
If one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached... 2 Corinthians 11:4 The "Christian" cults continue to be a "Trojan Horse" within American religious culture, bringing spiritual chaos and confusion into countless communities. We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray identifies the major cults of our day and the 3 ways you can recognize them.
War of the Worldviews
October 27, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine...1 Timothy 4:3 What evolution is to the biblical worldview of creationism and socialism is to the biblical worldview of civil government, so is dispensationalism to the biblical worldview of God’s plan for the end-times. It is a fundamental error that has put God’s people into spiritual paralysis and hindered the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
War of the Worldviews
October 20, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
Then Jesus said to them,'Beware of the leaven of the scribes and http://pharisees...and the leaven of Herod.' - Matthew 16:6; Mark 8:15 The greatest threats to the Church do not come from outside the Church but from within the Church. We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray begins a 3 part mini-series in our War of the Worldviews studies on "Defeating the 5th Column", exposing and expelling the enemies that undermine and hinder the advancement of the Kingdom of God from within.
War of the Worldviews
October 13, 2018 • Larry Tomczak
The 60's sexual revolution gave us "freedoms": hooking up, living together, abortion, homosexual unions, pornography, transgenderism and "safe sex." The CDC says we now have a "public health crisis" of 115 million Americans with epidemic STD's. What went wrong with "Sex and the City" permissiveness? Discover brutal realities alongside the beautiful design for those in the City of God. Larry Tomczak brings a strong and sobering word this weekend as we continue the War of the Worldviews series.
War of the Worldviews
October 6, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. - Hebrews 2:8-9 (NKJV) The heart of the biblical worldview is the revelation of the Kingdom of God, (the reign and rule of the Lord Jesus Christ), as a present reality awaiting a full fulfillment in the future. We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray explores the "now" and "not yet" dimensions of the Kingdom of God, the most important subject in the Bible.
War of the Worldviews
September 29, 2018 • Pastor Ray McCollum
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. - John 3:3 Jesus did not say IF a man is born again he WILL see the Kingdom of God; He said EXCEPT a man is born again he CANNOT see it. It is very possible to be born again and not "see" the Kingdom of God as a worldview and as a very present reality. We hope you can be with us this weekend to find out why the Kingdom of God is "The Most Important Subject in the Bible."
