In this final sermon, Brother Alex D. presents a compelling evangelistic call centered on the temptation of Christ in Matthew 4. He frames this event as the ultimate battle where Jesus, the "second Adam," confronts and defeats the enemy's three primary lies: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. The message is an urgent appeal to leave the "prison cell" of sin and embrace the decisive victory found only in Christ. #Category:Worship Service #Date:2025-07-25 #EventType:Sermon #Speaker:Alex D. #Topic:Temptation #Topic:Sin #Topic:SpiritualWarfare #Topic:Truth #Topic:Salvation #MainScripture:Matthew 4:1-11 #Scripture:Genesis 3:15 #Scripture:Hebrews 4:15

Sometimes we think we're all alone in our spiritual experiences with God—that no one can relate or that our lives are just too uneventful to be important to God. Come listen to the testimonies of people who were just like you and yet meant everything to Jesus! #Category:Educational #Date:2025-07-25 #EventType:Forum #Audience:Teen #Topic:Testimony #Speaker:RyanD. #HasFeature:Panel

Bro Mickey K. uses the gripping true story of Kashi, a young girl sold into human trafficking, as a powerful allegory for our enslavement to sin. Just as Kashi was bound by physical chains and lies, many are held captive by sin, fear, doubt, and shame, believing there is no hope. The service culminates in the ultimate truth: Jesus came on a rescue mission to set every captive free, a promise fulfilled through His victory on the cross. --- #Category:Special Program #Date:2025-07-25 #EventType:Inspiration Hour #Speaker:Mickey K. #HasFeature:Testimony #Topic:Slavery #Topic:Freedom #Topic:Sin #Topic:Truth #Topic:Salvation #Topic:Hope #MainScripture:John 8:31-36 #Scripture:Luke 4:18-19 #Scripture:Isaiah 53:5

Your Truth. My Truth. Their Truth... Whose truth is TRUTH? Last year, we defended some fundamental truths that are foundational to the inception and reality of the Christian faith. This year, let's dive into what the Bible shows truth to be and how we can use that truth to better visualize, communicate, and comprehend our Faith! #Category:Educational #Date:2025-07-24 #EventType:Forum #Audience:Teen #Topic:Truth #Topic:Apologetics #Topic:Postmodernism #Speaker:JonnyP.

What may have begun with good intentions can sometimes lead to practices that aren't truly necessary, or even biblical. It's important to reflect on the traditions we've embraced and ask: are they rooted in God's Word? By distinguishing between scriptural commands and cultural preferences, we can better understand their impact on our church. Our goal should always be to align with God's truth above all else. #Category:Educational #Date:2025-07-24 #EventType:Forum #Topic:Tradition #Topic:SolaScriptura #Topic:ChurchCulture #Speaker:EricJ.

The fifth commandment, “Honor your Father and Mother”, was written by God on a tablet of stone over 6,000 years ago. Is this commandment too old to listen to or follow? Did you know that this is the first commandment with promise? What does honor mean or look like in 2025? What does this commandment of promise deliver to teens according to the Bible? Is there friction in your relationship with your parents because they want too much honor and you want respect and independence from them?

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

Brother Anthony C. discusses how the "current of culture" shapes our identity and encourages us to adopt worldly labels like "popular" or "successful." This is contrasted with the Bible's truth that our core identity apart from God is "sinner," and only through Christ can we adopt the new and true identity of "Christian." The message includes a powerful testimony from Jacob West about his journey from a life of addiction to salvation through Jesus Christ. #Category:Special Program #Date:2025-07-21 #EventType:Inspiration Hour #Speaker:Anthony C. #HasFeature:Testimony #Topic:Identity #Topic:Culture #Topic:Truth #Topic:Salvation #MainScripture:Romans 5:12 #Scripture:Hebrews 4:12 #Scripture:John 14:6

In this age of information gluttony, skepticism about the trustworthiness of communicated “facts” abounds. Is there anything true or reliable? Scrutiny applied to the bible is no different. Skeptics gloat that “the writers were pre-modern and unscientific,” “we don’t have access to the original manuscripts,” “it is riddled with internal contradictions and errors,” “it can’t be trusted as real history—but is a collection of perspectival reminiscences,” and so on. We will address some of these common critiques, showing how they fall short and why the Bible is reliable not only as history but as communication from a supernatural source.

We will explore how God is calling us to learn how to implement the New Testament style small group method of church growth in our church in our time. These home meetings enable close Christian fellowship, spiritual growth, evangelism, and discipleship to take place at a personal level due to the smaller group atmosphere.
