Today in chapter five, we find Jesus at Lake Gennesaret with the crowds gathered around him. Then, Luke records the miraculous catch of fish and the shock and awe of the Apostle Peter who leaves everything to follow Jesus. Join Pastor Lloyd for this fast-moving account of the healing of the leper and the paralytic, the calling of Levi, and Jesus' words about fasting and forgiveness, all as the Pharisees and teachers of the law scrutinize his every word and deed.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5)

In the midst of darkness and dismay, a Light came into the world. Join us as we celebrate the Light that pierced the darkness.

Today's teaching begins where the temptation in the desert ended: Jesus returns to Galilee, "in the power of the Spirit." Immediately, we find him teaching in the synagogues and then going to Nazareth where he reads from the scroll that is handed to him, fulfilling the scriptures written of him. Join Pastor Lloyd as we learn of Jesus' authority, his power over demons and sickness, and his message of the kingdom of God.

Chapter four begins with a thought-provoking statement: we read that Jesus is filled with the Holy Spirit. In the same sentence we learn that the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert where he was tempted for forty days. We think that if we are filled with the Spirit, life will be smooth-sailing and free of temptation. Join Pastor Lloyd as he talks about Jesus' temptations and the lessons that we can glean from it.

As we look at the chaos and confusion in the world around us, we know as this great reset sets up the Great Tribulation, we are looking for the great escape of the Rapture! Join us tonight for a special message from Pastor Lloyd entitled, “The Great Reset” as he takes a closer look at what prophecy is pointing to in these last days. We can’t wait to see what the Lord will do through His Word!

Let us glorify God and thank Him for His faithfulness even in the midst of difficulty through an extended time of prayer and worship in song. As 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 exhorts us, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you,” and this is a time for us to give thanks to the Lord! And let us tell of His goodness as testimony is shared by a married couple within the fellowship!

Matt Zaki came from a Muslim family converted to Christianity. While he grew up in the church, he chose a path of drugs and alcohol. God was always calling and drawing him though, and at a low point in his life he came to the Lord. God then used Matt to bring his wife Sara to the Lord.

Sara Zaki grew up in a religious household in Irvington, NJ as a minority, where dangers within the home far exceeded the drugs, crime, and gangs without. Struggling with PTSD and an eating disorder at an early age, Sara embarked upon a journey deep into the New Age and occult world. Learn how the Lord drew her out and brought this couple together, realizing the hand of God can reach us anywhere.
