Life Lessons from the Old Testament
It's Only A Test
August 12, 2023 • Pastor Maurice Watson • Genesis 2:1–13
Have you ever asked God why? If so, you're in good company - even Jesus questioned God in the midst of His test. Sometimes God will allow hardships in our lives in order to test our faith in HIM! It's easy to trust God when life is good and the blessings are flowing abundantly, but what happens when you lose something or someone that you love? We must learn to hold what we love with open hands. God is faithful. He's God in good times and the hard times, and even if we don't know the purpose for the test, we rest assured that God already has a plan in motion.
Anger: Is It Bad or Good?
August 5, 2023 • Pastor Bryan Loritts • James 1:19–27
Is anger good or bad? The answer is YES. The truth is it depends on how we deal with those whose offend us. Jesus likens unrighteous, uncontrolled anger to murder, as it can be so destructive that it kills everything in its wake. It is in times like these, we must ask ourselves #WWJD - What would Jesus do? God's word tell us to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger. Pastor Bryan Loritts delivers a thought-provoking message reminder to all of us to examine our hearts when we're angry, so that we can may continue walk out our faith, regardless of our circumstances.
Made For Greatness
July 23, 2023 • Pastor Matt Anderson • Joshua 3:1–4
Sometimes we are going through a testing moment, and because we sometimes struggle to get through it, we slowly lose faith and believe that God isn’t there to comfort us. The truth is God is always here, and us thinking he’s not is just us being fearful and discouraged. God has plans for everyone and will test everyone; it’s our job to remain courageous and trust in God as he guides us through the test. We need to know that God doesn’t want us to be fearful and discouraged but rather the opposite. Some of us believe in God and want to trust his tests, but we have habits that depict otherwise. We want an uphill life but try to achieve it with downhill habits. Join us today as Pastor Matt Anderson explains to us how God’s destiny for us and the habits that we have to connect with each other, and how we can interline our habits with God’s ultimate destiny for our lives.
The Kind Of Person God Uses
July 16, 2023 • Pastor Zairreus Patterson • Nehemiah 1:1–4
Many of us believe that we have to be extraordinarily gifted in order to serve God. But, time and time again, scripture has proven that not only can He use the ordinary person, but that those are the EXACT people He wants to use! As our sermon series, Timeless, continues, Pastor Zairreus brings us a powerful reminder message that we should be asking God how we can become usable in His kingdom.
When God Changes Your Plan
July 9, 2023 • Dr. E. Dewey Smith • 1 Kings 17:2–7
Sometimes walking into victory will require us to go through uncomfortable situations. The truth is that even when we feel invisible, God sees and hears us. Even in our discomfort, He is always working, shifting our plans to align with what He has for us. Dr. E. Dewey Smith delivers a timely message explaining how God leads us to live the life He has planned for us.
From Ruin to Restoration - A Heart Of Worship Requires Hard Work
July 1, 2023 • Jada Edwards • 2 Kings 22—23
When we allow what we have been through and what we come from to influence us, we struggle to understand our assignment in life. We believe that our age decides what we should live for and what is right for us, and that results in us living an unfulfilled life because we didn’t accomplish what we were called for. God is here to guide us to our destiny as long as we are humble. God has a purpose for everyone to create something incredible in His honor to spread his word, and it’s up to us to decide how we will honor Him for the rest of our lives. Join us as Pastor Jada shares with us the importance of being humble and living for God regardless of how we were brought up in life.
