The last twelve books of the Old Testament are known as "the Minor Prophets." They are "minor" not because they are less important than the other Old Testament prophets, but because their messages are generally shorter and more succinct. The Minor Prophets are filled with exhortations from men, moved by God, who spoke out against the social and cultural sins of their day. They called people to repentance. They challenged people to turn to God. Sometimes their hearers heeded the message, and ...

The Ten Commandments have been, without a doubt, the most influential document upon human culture, in general, and upon American culture in particular - framing both the social and legal foundations of our American Society. In Colossians 2:16-17 and Mark 7:18-23, we find that the ceremonial and dietary aspects of the Old Testament law are no longer binding; however, the moral code is still intact. The Ten Commandments are the summary of God's moral code and are intended to shape the way we l ...

Jesus is coming again! There are three times as many prophecies in the Bible concerning the second coming of Jesus than there are prophecies concerning His first coming. In the book of Revelation, God pulls back the curtain and allows us to have a glimpse of things that are to come. He shows us the Judgments, the Antichrist, the False Prophet, the rise and fall of the one-world economic and political system, and the Battle of Armageddon, to name a few scenes. But He also shows us how He resc ...

Christians need to be engaged in the 2024 presidential election. The freedoms we enjoy and the country that we love are in jeopardy. But Christians must unite if we are to make a difference. If our voices are not heard, and our votes are not counted, then every evil, demonic philosophy will fill the vacuum. But what if you don’t particularly like e…

The Bible tells us that there are “spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms,” meaning that there is an unseen battle being waged over us and around us. The evil forces are led by Satan, also known as the Devil, the Dragon, the Serpent (and other titles). Satan, also called Lucifer, was once a beautiful angel in heaven who recruited a third o…

In Paul’s closing comments to the Church in Rome, he warns about the sin of divisiveness that can destroy a church, a family, or an organization. God hates divisiveness for two reasons—(1) because it is inconsistent with His nature, and (2) because the source of divisiveness is Satan. God is about reconciliation; Satan is about division. God brings…

Where there are differences among people, there is the potential for division. That is true in a business, a family, and certainly a church. Satan loves to take advantage of people’s differences to incite division, discord, and judgmentalism. This was the problem facing the church in Rome. So, Paul encourages them to accept one another as it relate…

Paul tells us that we are living in the “last hour”. The Return of Christ is near. So how should we live while we are waiting in the constant expectancy of His Second Coming?

It’s been said that love for God will get you to church but the fear of God will get you to Heaven. You see, many people say that they love God, but few people actually fear Him. But what does it even mean to fear the Lord? Should we be scared of God? In today’s message, Pastor Austin answers this question and touches on eight different benefits th…

There are three institutions that God has ordained in this order: the Family, the Government, and the Church. In Romans 13, Paul describes the role of government and our responsibility to it.

The first eleven chapters of Romans are DOCTRINAL, but the last five chapters of Romans are very PRACTICAL. And one of the themes Paul stresses in the last five chapters is our personal responsibility regarding how we treat one another. In fact, Paul uses the phrase “one another” ten times in the closing five chapters to help us understand the prac…

Whenever we face a major decision in life, it’s important to discern God’s will on the matter. What is God’s will for where I live? Who I marry? What career path I take? The questions are endless. And God has a perfect will for your life. But even if you don’t hit the “bullseye” and discern His “perfect” will, there is still grace for God’s childre…

Does God predetermine some people to go to Heaven and others to go to Hell? Did Jesus die only for the Elect (those whom God decided to save)? Does man have a free will to choose Jesus, or is that God’s choice? Pastor Gary answers these questions and more in today’s teaching on predestination and election.…

Are the Jewish people God’s “chosen people”? And if so, why have most Jews not accepted Jesus as Messiah? Has the Church “replaced” Israel in terms of promises God made to her that now belong to the Church? Pastor Gary answers these and other questions in today’s study from Romans 9-11. In these three chapters, Paul addresses the subject of Israel …

When life is good, it's easy to quote Romans 8:28 that "all things work together for good." But when life is not so good, is this verse still true? Are other verses in the Bible still true when our life circumstances do not fit with the promises of the Bible? The answer is YES. It's not that the Bible promise is lacking, it's that our understanding…

“Why do good things happen to bad people?” This is a question that Asaph, the writer of Psalm 73, wrestles with as he juxtaposes the eternal destiny of the wicked with that of the righteous. Do you know where you would spend eternity if today were your last day on earth? In today’s message entitled “Which Side Are You On?”, Pastor Austin challenges…

Did you ever try running away from home as a kid hoping your parents would beg you to come back home? In Revelation 2, Jesus calls the Ephesian church to “Come back home!” Why? What were they doing wrong? Jesus commends them for all the things they’re doing well, but He says there is one thing they lack–love. It’s possible to do a lot of things for…

For the Christian there is a battle within—a battle between our spirit that wants to please the Lord, and our flesh that wants to please self. In Romans 8, Paul gives us three encouraging ways that the Holy Spirit helps us to fight the battle of the flesh and spirit: He empowers us, adopts us, and prays for us. Pastor Gary explains all this in toda…

In Romans 8, Paul opens and closes the chapter with two important exhortations: (1) There is no condemnation and (2) There is no separation from the love of God for those who are in Christ Jesus. Too many Christians still walk around under the heavy weight of condemnation, shame, and guilt. In addition, some Christians believe the lie that God does…

Since Christians are under grace instead of the law, the question becomes—is the law of God pointless now? Some Christians think that! But Paul says otherwise. In Romans 7, Paul gives us three reasons why God’s law is important in the life of the Believer today. Pastor Gary unpacks Romans 7 and also helps us to understand the battle that lies withi…
