Guest speaker Mark Dinsmore examines Genesis and the Hebrew term raqiya to challenge common myths about a canopy firmament and to explain how mistranslation fueled centuries of confusion. He outlines Walt Brown’s hydroplate theory as a mechanism for the fountains of the great deep, the mid oceanic ridges, rapid continental sliding, and features like the Grand Canyon, and recounts the flood timeline of forty days of rain followed by months of prevailing waters. Dinsmore surveys evidence for Noah’s Ark including reported sightings on Mount Ararat, worldwide flood traditions such as ancient Chinese pictographs, and the ark’s proposed dimensions and capacity. The message ties geological claims back to scriptural chronology and presents creation science as a compelling apologetic that impacted his own family’s faith.

Guest speaker Mark Dinsmore leads week two of a study on what the Bible says about creation and the flood, surveying Walt Brown's hydroplate theory and arguing for a young Earth interpretation of Genesis. He dismantles common compromises such as the old earth, gap, day‑age, theistic evolution, canopy and plate tectonics theories, critiques radiometric dating and the RATE project, and links hydroplate mechanics to comets, meteorites, and post‑flood geological changes. Dinsmore emphasizes biblical support from Jesus and Peter, defends six literal creation days, explains the firmament as the earth's crust with subterranean waters, and affirms created kinds, the original vegetarian diet, and human dominion. He urges humility and teachability as we test scientific claims against Scripture and explore Walt Brown's work further.

Mark Dinsmore leads a Bible study exploring Genesis 1–2:3 and argues for a literal six day creation, unpacking Hebrew terms like Elohim and tohu bohu while reading key passages that present God as Creator. He systematically challenges the gap theory, day age theory, theistic evolution, the Big Bang, and other modern myths such as the canopy idea and popular fossil and plate tectonics narratives, drawing on creationist scholarship including Henry Morris and Walt Brown. Dinsmore emphasizes teleological arguments from Psalm 19 and Romans 1 and cites numerous Old Testament texts that describe God stretching out the heavens to address astronomical observations and the universe's expansion. A former evolutionist who worked in Christian publishing, he frames the study as apologetics meant to strengthen us in confidence in Scripture and to prepare us spiritually as the signs of the age unfold.

Pastor Rick Beaudry teaches through Daniel 6, using Daniel's steadfast faith in the lion's den to call us to nonnegotiable devotion and bold, regular prayer. He traces how Daniel's promotion provoked jealous conspirators to outlaw prayer, examines the king's binding decree and its modern parallels, and draws comparisons to Christ and other martyrs to show why believers should expect persecution. Beaudry emphasizes practical habits like Daniel's three daily prayers, casting our cares on God, and refusing compromise even under pressure, while warning about contemporary incentives and legislation that can tempt us to bow. The message opens and closes with pastoral prayers for Pamela’s family, Sally, Joe, Thomas Spoole and the congregation, and affirms that God is able to deliver and sustain us through lion like trials.

Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Daniel 5, recounting Belshazzar's sacrilegious feast, the handwriting on the wall, and Daniel's interpretation that Babylon is weighed and found wanting as the Medes and Persians take the kingdom. He connects the chapter to end times themes, the times of the Gentiles, the church of Laodicea, and the rise of idolatry and technological deception, urging us to be students of prophecy. Drawing on historical background and Isaiah's naming of Cyrus as proof of prophetic accuracy, he warns against pride, indifference, drunkenness and worldliness while calling for wholehearted devotion. The message closes with prayerful exhortation for us to deepen faith, remain humble, and trust God's sovereign timing as the prophetic timeline unfolds.

Pastor Rick Beaudry walks through Daniel 4, unfolding Nebuchadnezzar’s nightmare, Daniel’s interpretation, and the watcher angel’s decree that humbles the king by making him live like a beast for seven times until he comes to know the Most High. He emphasizes God’s sovereignty over earthly rulers and the way affliction can be a loving correction that drives us to repentance and dependence on Christ. The sermon draws practical applications about the dangers of pride, the need for humble obedience, and the difference between worldly solutions and turning to Scripture and prayer. The message closes with worship and intercession for Shelley, Sally, and Joe.

Pastor Rick Beaudry opens with prayer for Jocelyn and Christian’s upcoming wedding and for members facing serious illness, then takes us through Daniel 3 to examine Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image and the uncompromising faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He draws typological parallels to end times persecution and the beast system, warns against worldly compromise seen during COVID and rising technologies like chips or a cashless fed coin, and emphasizes the choice to obey God rather than men. Using Hebrews and Revelation, he teaches that fiery trials refine God’s people, that God is present in suffering whether by miracle or by calling us home, and that faithful witness will always be preserved. The message blends biblical exposition, contemporary application, and intercessory prayer for the congregation.

Pastor Rick Beaudry walks us through Daniel 2:28–46, unpacking Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and the statue’s metals as four successive Gentile empires: Babylon as the head of gold, then Medo‑Persia, Greece, and Rome with feet of iron mixed with clay. He ties the vision to end times themes such as the times of the Gentiles, a future rebirth of a Roman-style ten-king confederation, the Antichrist, and the stone that shatters the image as Messiah’s return and the millennial kingdom. Beaudry argues against replacement theology, affirms a distinct future for Israel and a pretribulation rapture perspective, and warns about apostasy, celebrity Christianity, and spiritual shallowness in many modern churches. He closes by pointing to Daniel’s God-given revelation and promotion as an example of God’s sovereignty and urges us toward careful study, discernment, and watchfulness.

Pastor Rick Beaudry guides us through Daniel chapter two, unpacking Nebuchadnezzar's troubling dream and the statue vision that pictures successive world empires: Babylon as the head of gold, Medo‑Persia as silver, Greece as bronze, and Rome as iron mixed with clay. He emphasizes the prophetic timing of the latter days, God’s sovereignty to remove and set up kings, and how true revelation comes from the Holy Spirit rather than occult arts or human wisdom. Daniel’s prayer, his appeal to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and the subsequent night vision that reveals the king’s dream are held up as a model of prayerful dependence, fasting, and bold testimony. Throughout the study Rick warns against false prophecy and worldly methods, urging us to seek the deep and secret things of God through Scripture and the Spirit.

Pastor Rick Beaudry opens the book of Daniel by situating Daniel as a 6th century youth taken to Babylon and explaining the book's theme of the times of the Gentiles and the sequence of Gentile empires. He unpacks Daniel 1 by recounting the selection and renaming of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, their training under the king, Daniel's resolve not to defile himself with the king's food, the ten day vegetable test, and God's resulting blessing of wisdom and prophetic insight. Practical lessons follow about purposing the heart, resisting temptation through prayer, Scripture, and fleeing sin, and the ongoing reality of a believing remnant amid widespread apostasy. He ties the passage to contemporary concerns about cultural influence, youth formation, and discernment around technologies and authorities, encouraging us to trust God's sovereignty and favor.
