There is a demonic initiative that is underway to remove God from all cultural institutions, both public and private. While this "Godless" initiative isn't anything new, the brazenness has intensified at an alarming rate. We must continue to engage the enemy and push back. Tonight we will take a look at what that looks like practically in the Word of God, as we look at Israel's decent into Godlessness, and their subsequent restoration...

Your Sorrow Will Turn to Joy In John Chapter 15, Jesus will talk to his disciples of the hatred of the world and its coming rejection on him, and them. He comforts them, and assures them that they won't be alone in the struggle, they will even find joy in the midst of it. In Chapter 16 Jesus assures them, that their sorrow, will turn to joy for Jesus Christ has overcome the world! "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

The Enemy within, Part 2, The Ends justify the means" Join us tonight as we identify the strategy that the enemy of freedom and his foot soldiers are using in the world today. We will also identify our means of resistance against the prevailing deception.

Last week we had the presentation of His Grace, this week we see what our responsibility is to that Grace.

Gospel of John Ch 6 - "The Miraculous Feeding of the 5000" "A nation can survive It’s fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive Treason from within. An enemy at the Gates is less formidable, for he is known, and he carries is banners openly. The trader moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers wrestling through the galleys, Heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor, appears not a traitor. He speaks in the accent familiar to his victims, and he wears their face in their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation - He works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city - infects the body politic, so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." -Cicero, 42 B.C.

After having given the disciples troubling news about his betrayal, Jesus reassures His friends that they can rest easy, that they can trust him. Although He has to go, He goes to prepare a place for them. "I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." "Where I go you know, and the way you know.” “I am the way, the truth, and the life. "No one comes to the Father except through Me." Join us for a powerful, prophetic, message of promise and hope! The Gospel of John, Ch. 14

Our nation finds itself in a descending Cycle of Apostasy... "A total desertion of or departure from one's religion, principles, etc." It didn't happen over night and it can't be restored over night... We can reverse the trend but not until we "Break the Cycle!" Are you in your own personal descending cycle?... Join us tonight! We will also have Prophesy Update as we evaluate the potential prophetic significance of things we are seeing in the world today.

The Gospel of John Ch. 13 - "The Washing and the Betrayal" To love like Jesus loves... What does that look like? Alone with His friends, Jesus was facing sacrificial death, yet His concern was for them! This passage is the soil that holds the seed of all grace teaching... Jesus’ heart is on full display through this section

How did we get here? And how do we turn it around?! With the world falling further away from biblical principals and morality, what can we do stop the slide, and reverse the trends that are prevailing in our day?

"The Gospel of John Chapter 12 - Here is our King" The hour has come, Jesus, the light of the world, rides triumphantly into Jerusalem, and in doing so presents a choice to all who have witnessed his ministry. Will you believe? The city is a buzz with his arrival and Pharisees hatch their final plan to eliminate the man they feel represents the greatest threat to thier power. The hour of his "passion" is at hand and Jesus' soul is troubled

Gospel of John Ch 6 - "The Miraculous Feeding of the 5000" Jesus already knows what He is going to do… If you are in a place of fear, anxiety, or desperation… Turn to Jesus. He works all things for the good of those who love Him. Today we Study John Chapter 6, The miraculous feeding of 5,000 people. But it's so much more than that… This story will remind us of the abundance that surrounds us, and how we can draw strength from our faith to overcome any adversity.

The gut wrenching, sick to your stomach, feeling of fear and anxiety, that grips you when somebody that you love is sick and dying… The fear and horror of thinking about never hearing their laugh again, seeing their smile again, holding them, or giving them a hug… Then the heart shattering panic that comes when you’ve lost them… The fear of not knowing how life could ever be as sweet, or as good without them in your life… These emotions are the centerpiece of John Chapter 11, as 2 sister send for Jesus because their beloved brother is dying...

The Gospel of John Ch. 10 - "I Am the Good Shepherd" - "The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." "I am the good Shepherd... My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." "I am the door..." The Gospel of John Ch. 10 - Jesus continues to answer the questions and accusations of a self-deceived unbelieving people that resent him for bringing them the one thig they need the most, salvation.

"Are You a Revolutionary?"

Gospel of John Ch 9 - "I Was Blind But Now I See"

"Waiting on God, Part 2" "God sees you, hears you, and weeps with you." It can feel like, at times, that God is silent or that he is taking his sweet time... There is a reason for that. He is. He is taking HIS Time, and he is always right on time... But make no mistake, "He hears you sees you, and he is going to use it all." Whatever you are going through now, he will use it for your benefit, if you let him. "I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope." Psalm 130:5

John Chapter 8 - Part 2, "The Great I AM" “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Jn 8:58 Jesus says that He is the great “I AM.” He makes Himself equal to God, the very God that spoke to Moses. There is no doubt regarding who it is He claims to be. This is gonna be good! "...if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you;" "I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”

An Adulterous woman is brought to Jesus. How can mercy and justice be reconciled? And how will Jesus handle a crowd of skeptics that suggest he was born of fornication? Who is your Father they ask!

Dear God, We're waiting... It can feel like, at times, that God is silent or that he is taking his sweet time... There is a reason for that. He is. He is taking HIS Time, and he is always right on time... But make no mistake, "He hears you sees you, and he is going to use it all." Whatever you are going through now, he will use it for your benefit, if you let him. "I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope." Psalm 130:5

Come, Turn your back on the world. Abandon confidence in yourself. Come empty handed. Not to the Lord’s table, baptism, a priest or minister, or a church... but to Christ Himself, none other. Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” Join us for an examination of John Chapter 7 and learn what this means, that you may never thirst again.

Evil has taken its mask off for those willing to see it. We see it in the blatant propagandist ad campaigns, the normalization of debauchery and mental illness via TV, Movie and Music programming. We are seeing a rise of the demonic today… A full on denial of the basic principles of the creation is the calling card of the demonic… The world the Disciples lived in was a world in where demonic activity was common and readily excepted by the masses as being such, demonic. In Matthew Chapter 10 Jesus gives the disciples instructions for navigating a world that our own is, in significant measure, beginning to look like. His instruction, "Be as wise as Serpents and as harmless as doves." Tonight we will examine Matthew Chapter 10 to discover what this means and more!

“Eat My Flesh and Drink my Blood” “…unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.” “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” John Chapter 6, verses 41-71, contains not only one of Jesus’ most interesting quotes, but a treasure of deep spiritual insight for all who would receive it… Join us for this enlightening study and grow closer to Jesus by knowing Him better!

God is not done with Israel! Tonight, The dangers of replacement theology.

What is the statistical likelihood that one man would be born in one place and at one time in history and fulfill all the prophesies that Jesus fulfilled? Over 300 prophesies were fulfilled by Jesus’ first coming, we will take a look at the improbably of one man fulfilling just 8 of them. Don’t miss this faith building, and equipping, message.

Pentecost. The one Jesus promised would come arrived on this day. The day the Holy Spirit came down and indwelled the "Christ ones." It was no accident that he arrived the day he did, this was a divine appointment that had been planned and set on God's calendar long before the day began. It was a feast day of the Jews. The Feast of Shavuot, or Pentecost... A day of promise. Promises made, kept, and some yet unfulfilled? There is a lot more to this story. You don't want to miss it! God wants to show you something!
