The Apostle John, inspired by the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the dawn of the Dispensation of Grace, penned the book of 1 John to illuminate the true condition of our lives. Deception, wielded by the devil, is a formidable force. Many have fallen prey to his cunning, engaging in prayers, attending Bible studies, or even joining a church, yet their lives remain untouched by the transformative power of Jesus.

The Prodigal's Return: A Journey of Repentance and Restoration

September 22, 2024 • Luke 15:11–24

One of the most compelling stories in the Bible is about a father and son in crisis. Jesus shared the tale of a son who took his inheritance, squandered it on reckless living, and found himself in utter despair. Eventually, he “came to his senses” and decided to return to his father. This powerful narrative illustrates repentance—being genuinely sorry for our sins and yearning to restore our relationship with God, our heavenly Father.

Living as Citizens of the Kingdom of God

September 8, 2024 • Pastor Mike Stu

Fellowship is a vital aspect of our spiritual growth. It's more than just socializing; it's about opening our hearts and lives to other believers and forming genuine connections within our community. While God doesn't want us to completely isolate ourselves from the world, the most enriching and spiritually uplifting fellowship is found among believers. To flourish spiritually, we must cultivate authentic relationships with like-minded individuals.

September 1, 2024

Forgiveness is a subject that can cause consternation, anxiety, alarm, or discomfort of the heart. But it was never created for that. It is a gift that frees us to live in the greatest gift of all - peace. It is a peace that guards our hearts and minds in this world and is a powerful force for good. It overcomes the devil, so our past does not turn into our future.
