An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 23-24.

No person, possession, career, talent, spouse or anything is this world can complete us except Jesus. He is the only one who can fulfill the deepest longings of our soul. As Paul wrote in Colossians 2:10, “You are complete in Christ.” Join Pastor Gary for today’s study about how Jesus completes us.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 20:21-22:12.

Our world is influenced by what Paul calls “the traditions of men” and “the basic principles of this world” that are often contrary to Scripture. The worldly influence threatens a person’s walk with Christ, and more broadly, the Church itself. What were the things of Paul’s day that he was warning the church at Colosse about, and how does this translate to what threatens the Church today? Pastor Gary mentions the cultural issues, but focuses primarily on the worldly philosophies and aberrant doctrines that have slipped into the Church.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 18:28-20:21.

Everyone is touched by suffering to some degree at some point in their lives. It is the natural result of living in a sin-filled world with pain and sorrow. Some even question the God's existence or goodness because they wonder how a good God could allow such pain and suffering in the world. Pastor Gary addresses these questions and offers encouragement in today’s message to those who are suffering.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 17-18.

Ever since the fall of man (when man sinned against God) in the Garden of Eden, mankind has been estranged from God. But what was broken by man in the Garden was reconciled by God on the cross! God pursued us to restore that relationship through the sacrifice of Jesus. He invites us to be reconciled to Him and then to spread the message of reconciliation to others. What does all this mean? Find out in today’s study with Pastor Gary Hamrick.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 15-16.

250 years ago, the Continental Congress called the 13 colonies to “prayer, fasting, and humiliation” just weeks prior to the Revolutionary War. Today, on that anniversary, Pastor Gary reminds us of America’s Christian heritage and encourages us to stand firm in our faith and to maintain those Christian principles.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 12-14.

There are many thoughts and perceptions about who Jesus is. Different people believe different things about Him. Each world religion presents Him differently. But what does the Bible say? Who is Jesus according to Scripture? In today’s study, Pastor Gary contrasts Jesus with other religions and shares five points about the true identity of Jesus from Colossians 1:15–18.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 9:13-11:23.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 6:22-7:22.

The Bible explains the existence of two kingdoms—the kingdom of LIGHT and the kingdom of DARKNESS. Every person in the world belongs to one of those kingdoms. Pastor Gary describes the territory of those kingdoms and what defines them. They are not earthly kingdoms, but they are real, spiritual dominions. The question is, to which kingdom do you belong?

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 4:9-6:21.

Human nature is generally discontent. We crave things that are newer and better, the latest and greatest. Companies launch major ad campaigns to convince customers and clients that their products or services are “new and improved.” After all, who wants “old and familiar”? But the Bible cautions against always desiring something better and instead encourages us to be content no matter the circumstances. Find out in today’s study how to be content in a discontent world as Pastor Gary walks us through the closing verses of the book of Philippians.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 3-4.

Many people believe that Jesus existed. Many even believe that He did miracles, died, and rose from the dead. Yet still, many might wonder, “Why is this relevant to me?” In today’s message, Pastor Gary offers four reasons why the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus should matter to you. If you’ve ever wondered how God could love, forgive, and save you, you will be encouraged by today’s message from John 20.

Pastor Gary Hamrick sits down with Pastor Lon Solomon to discuss the true meaning of the Passover.

In this Palm Sunday message from Luke 19, Pastor David Guzik looks at the story of Zacchaeus and discovers the difference between a superficial response to Jesus and a sincere, life-changing one. Be encouraged to seek Him, receive Him joyfully, and welcome Him fully into your life.

In 2 Chronicles 1–2, Solomon begins with humility, asking God for wisdom—but his story quickly becomes a warning about how little compromises can lead to devastating consequences. This message encourages us to walk in obedience, steward God’s blessings faithfully, and live in a way that points others to Him.

Many people suffer from anxious, fearful, or worrisome thoughts. Life can bombard and overwhelm us at times. How can we find relief from troubling thoughts and fears? God offers help and encouragement through Paul's letter to the Philippian church in chapter 4. If you battle fear and anxiety, watch today's teaching as Pastor Gary shares "God's Remedy for Anxiety."

Join us as Pastor Gary Hamrick interviews Shannon Bream about her new book, "Nothing is Impossible with God!".

Is your name written in the Book of Life? The Book of Life is mentioned eight times in the New Testament (once in Philippians and seven times in Revelation). The Bible teaches that this book lists all the names of people who are going to spend eternity in heaven with Jesus. If your name is not in the book, you will be denied access to heaven. So how can you be sure your name will be listed in the Book of Life? Find out in today’s study from Philippians 4 with Pastor Gary.

Join us for a special Midweek Q&A night where Pastor Gary, Tyler, & Austin Hamrick do their best to answer your Bible Questions!

Paul compares the Christian life to that of running a race. It’s an appropriate analogy because there is a starting line (when you accept Christ), a finish line (when you step from this life into eternity), and a prize at the end (heaven). Some have gotten off to a late start, others have had a slow start, and all of us have stumbled at some point along the race. But the only thing that matters is finishing well! In Philippians 3, Paul outlines three things to encourage us to run with endurance and to finish well.

An in-depth discussion of 1 Chronicles 24:20-29:30.

Most people pursue things that bring them happiness or pleasure in this lifetime: accomplishments, awards, degrees, rank, money, likes and followers. But at the end of the day, nothing compares to knowing Jesus! In Philippians 3, Paul wrote about all his many accomplishments and accolades that he achieved in his lifetime, but he said it was all “rubbish” (dung) compared to the excellence of knowing Christ! Do you know Jesus? There’s a difference between knowing “about” Jesus and knowing Him personally. Pastor Gary explains this in today’s study titled, “Nothing Compares to Jesus!”

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 22-24.

Did you know that God is revealing Himself to you on a daily basis? In Psalm 19, David explains how the Lord reveals Himself predominantly in two ways-through creation and His Word. God’s voice compels David to respond by helping him recognize his own sinful condition. Do you recognize God's voice when He speaks? Join us as Pastor Austin unpacks Psalm 19.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 20:4-21:30.

God calls us to live our faith out loud for others to see and hear about Jesus. Paul reminds us that we live in a “crooked and perverse generation,” and today's study from Philippians 2 shows us that it is for that reason we must shine the light of Jesus in this dark world.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 17:15-20:3.

All relationships take work. Whether in the church or outside the church—in marriages and families, and between friends, co-workers, and neighbors—wherever you have two sinners, you have the potential for disagreement and conflict. Our human default is selfishness which leads to division. But in Philippians 2, Paul tells us that unity comes from humility, and humility comes from following the example of Christ. Follow along in today’s study as we look at Christ's example to encourage us to walk in His humility.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 16:8-17:14.

Have you ever thought about heaven and wanted to go there sooner than later? Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” He didn’t have a “death wish” with dark thoughts of wanting to escape this world; he simply longed for heaven and was ready to go whenever God called him home. Sometimes the weight of this world can cause our heavy hearts to long for our eternal reward. Find out more about heaven in today’s study with Pastor Gary Hamrick.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 16.

Antisemitism and anti-Israel views are creeping into Christian and conservative communities. Pastor Gary Hamrick, along with guests Pastor Rob McCoy, Samuel Smadja, and former Congressman Bob McEwen, delivers a Biblical response to replacement theology, US support for Israel, the October 7th attacks, and the takes from Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Watch this timely message to understand the real issues and stand firm in truth!

Sometimes we think that God is absent during our difficult circumstances. Paul was “in chains” in prison in Rome for preaching the Gospel, yet he wrote about how much joy he had! How can someone in prison have such joy? Answer: because his joy was in Jesus and he understood that, regardless of his circumstances, God was accomplishing His divine purposes. That is why Paul would write in Philippians 1:13, “my chains are in Christ.” In today’s study, Pastor Gary shares how we can have joy in our difficult circumstances too with the right eternal perspective.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 14-15.

When we come to faith in Jesus Christ, God does not abandon us. On the contrary, He sends His Spirit to dwell in us and abide with us to help us run the race with perseverance. God is as much at work in bringing us to salvation as He is at work in keeping us saved! But it’s not all on Him. We have a responsibility to “work out our salvation” too. Pastor Gary explains this encouraging promise in today’s study from Philippians 1:6.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 11-13.

Join us for our annual Q&A Service with Gary, Tyler and Austin Hamrick.

An in-depth study into the Magi.

Christmas is too important to breeze by. And yet many people will walk past the nativity story with its good and joyful news of God coming to man in favor of the world’s trinkets and distractions. It is time we stopped and realized what the Christmas story is all about: the Son of God entering our world to be with us, bleed for us, and rescue us.

In Luke 2, Simeon prophesied that baby Jesus was destined for the fall and rising of many. Jesus is a very polarizing figure. He is the most divisive person in human history, attracting some and repelling others like a magnet. How will you respond to the person of Jesus today?
