When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. 3 For I am the Lord, your God…” When you are te [...]

Pastor Greg Beatty Title: “What God knows about you” Text: Philippians 3:7-11 Hebrews 4:13 “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” God’s “omniscience” means, God knows everything!

Pastor Scott Hornsby God’s Providence     Romans 8:28-29 NLT – And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.  1Corinthians 2:8-9 NIV – None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him. His perspective differed from others. 1 Samuel 17:25 KJV – And the men of Israel said, Have ye s [...]

Pastor Carlos Flores   RUN TO THE ROAR Luke 24:13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them. 16 But God kept them from recognizing him. 17 He asked them, What are you discussing so intently as you walk along? They stopped short, sadness written across their faces. 18 Then one of them, Cleopas, replied, You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn’t heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days. 19 What things? Jesus asked. 27 Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he we [...]

Pastor Greg Beatty    LIFE’S TOO SHORT…TO BE NEGATIVE      Ephesians 5:15-17 “So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.   16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.   17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.”   Proverbs 10:11 “The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well, but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.”   Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…”   John 10:10b “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” ~ Jesus   Proverbs 18:8 “The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, and they go down into the inmost body.”   Numbers 13:23,25-33 Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of [...]

Tyler Lafauci    The Secret Kingdom #9   The Law of Miracles   This Law governs the question of God’s willingness to disrupt His natural order to accomplish His purpose.  God expected His followers to do even greater miracles than He did.  John 14:12; Matt 8:10. Mark 11:22  “Have faith in God”. Rules of Miracles: We are to take our eyes off the circumstances and impossibilities.  Look at Joshua and Caleb, and  the 10 other spies report in Numbers 13 and 14.  Also look at 1 Sam 14:1-15, when Jonathan defeated the Philistine camp. We are not to doubt in our hearts.  For miracles to happen through us, God’s will must first be transmitted by the Holy Spirit to our spirits. Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise.  Rom4:20-21.   The voice is very important in relation to miracles.  Mk 4:39; Matt 9:23-24; Lk 7:11-16; Jn 11:34; Mk 9:25; Matt 8:3, 13. [...]

Pastor Richard W. Beatty   “Life’s Too Short…to Worry” Ephesians 5:15-16 “ So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity…” What is worry? The inner distress over the unknown or the uncontrollable future.  Worry is future focused. It cannot change or control the future. Worry is negative faith believing the worst will happen. Jesus told us not to worry! Matthew 6:25-30  How to keep from worrying. Philippians 4:7 Refuse to worry about anything! Philippians 4:6 Worry is unreasonable. Matthew 6:25 Worry is unnatural.  [...]
