Every believer, young or old is engaged in a lifelong battle. It is a spiritual warfare that seek to steal, kill and destroy. It's not for the faint-hearted, because it calls for each of us to stand up and fight.
We are living in unprecedented times. The just like in Bible times the issues of today and the defense of those issues has caused splits and divisions that we believe hurt the heart of God. It’s a sensitive subject, but it is addressed in God’s Word.
What was Jesus teaching when He said that we are to love our enemies? Our enemies are out to hurt us. Why would Jesus say to love them? Today we’ll take a Biblical look at this difficult command from Christ.
A part of being well dressed in life is being dressed appropriately for the occasion. In today’s message we’ll see what it takes to be a well dressed Christian- spiritually that is.
We all know that it’s important to fireproof our homes. But it’s also important fireproof our lives? And just like with your home, you need some important equipment to fireproof your life.
In the Bible longsuffering is made up of two Greek words meaning “long” and “temper.” It means to be “long-tempered.” A longsuffering person doesn’t have a “short fuse.” Join us for this insightful teaching.

In our last broadcast we focused on putting some things off. This week our focus is putting some things on. Both disciplines are necessary in the life of the believer.
When God called us, He called us not only “to” some things, but also “from” some things. The Christian life is not merely a list of do’s & don’ts, but there are some things we should being doing, and some things we need to put off.
Estimates are that the average adult makes about 35,000 decisions every day, ranging from minor choices like what to wear or eat to more significant ones, averaging about one decision every two seconds. This vast number includes everything from crossing the street to choosing how to spend one’s time. Some of our choices may seem to have little impact on our daily lives or our future, but in reality, one bad choice can be like a falling domino that effects not only our lives but the lives of others well into the future.
King Solomon, was one of the wisest persons who ever lived. He built the First Temple in Jerusalem. He amassed great wealth, a powerful military, and lived in a magnificent royal palace, reigning over a unified Israel at its peak. But in the Book of Ecclesiastes, he laments about the vanity and emptiness of life. We all have plans, desires and things we want to accomplish in our lives, and today’s teaching with Dr. Tony Hart reminds us that if our plans and goals don’t line up with God’s, they are destined to be cut down.
As Dr. Tony Hart continues his teaching in the Book of Daniel, we are confronted today with some startling and sometimes frightening imagery. As Christians we maintain hope during turbulent times because our faith is rooted in God’s Word, which transcends our circumstances. Central to us is the conviction that God is sovereign and loving, offering strength, guidance and comfort even in times of uncertainty. We draw our strength from scriptural promises of peace, redemption, and a purposeful future, believing that adversity can lead to growth and deeper trust in God.
We can all quote the line from the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples that says, “Lead us not into temptation.” Today’s teaching shows us that when we do our part in staying away from evil blessings will follow.
In the year 1624 author John Donne’s book “Devotions upon Emergent Occasions” reflected on sickness, pain, and the human condition. The book contains a very famous line: “No Man Is An Island.” It emphasized a connectivity that each of us needs in our lives. Unfortunately, not everyone is available, able or willing to be there when we need them. Thankfully we serve a God that is always there- especially when we need Him most.
