Sunday, December 15, 2024 – We are finally concluding our study on 2 Peter. The title of the message is “Living for His Return.” It’s always a mix of emotions to finish a study of a specific book of the Bible because we develop a special connection with the writer and recognize how he, along with the Holy Spirit, addressed the issues of their time—issues that often correspond with those we face today. 2 Peter is no exception. Peter speaks directly to us in everything he wrote, and we ask the Holy Spirit to bring these messages alive in our hearts today, just as He did for Peter and his original readers.

The overall theme of this study has been learning how, as children of God, we can navigate this life in a world filled with evil, living and working in the Kingdom while patiently awaiting Jesus to take us home. We are provided with the precious promises of God’s Word to stand on and share, as God patiently desires everyone to be saved. He uses us in our circumstances to show the love and grace of Jesus. Join us for worship and study.

Sunday, December 8, 2024 – Pastor Ryp Hankins brings the message titled “Hearing the Voice of God.” As a good father speaks to his children, our Heavenly Father desires to speak to each and every one of His children. To converse with a person, one must be near that person. It’s the same with God; if a person is going to hear the voice of God, we must be in His presence and desire to hear His voice. We hear Him speak comforting and encouraging words. He speaks in multiple ways, and He always brings wisdom and vital information to make our lives more effective in His Kingdom. We can hear His voice through corporate worship and prayer. What a joy it is when we hear the voice of our loving Heavenly Father. Worship and study with us.

Sunday, December 1, 2024 – As we reflect on our blessings this Thanksgiving season, we are also grateful for the many promises found in God’s Word. In our study of 2 Peter 3, we focus on the "New Heavens and New Earth" that God promises will come. This concept is beyond human comprehension, yet Scripture offers us insights that reveal it as everything worth living for. Imagine, if you will, what it will be like when all battles and sources of pain, misery, grief, and sorrow are vanquished, never to affect our lives again. When everything is complete and God re-creates the Heavens and Earth to their original form, it will surpass anything we can describe. Until then, we wait patiently and strive to win others to Christ, hoping to take as many as possible with us into this marvelous future. Worship and study along with us.

Sunday, November 24, 2024 – We are continuing our study of 2 Peter 3, and the title of today’s message is “Loosen Your Grip.” If you’ve been studying along with us, you know that Peter discusses what it means to live in the End Days. We are those people, so these messages are very important for us to consider. As true believers and disciples of Jesus, there is nothing to dread or fear during these times. Today, Peter poses a fundamental question: If you know that the world and everything in it will be destroyed by fire, how should you live? This is a common-sense question, and Peter offers a straightforward answer: Live holy and righteously before the Lord. This involves a process of setting ourselves apart, discerning what is temporary and what is eternal. We must understand what we need to let go of and what we should hold onto. Where should our treasures be: in the spiritual heavenly realm that will never end, or in the physical, temporary realm that will be destroyed? Come worship and study with us…

Sunday, November 17, 2024 – The title of today’s message is “The Day of the Lord Comes as a Thief.” This phrase is taken directly from 2 Peter 3:10. Our discussion focuses on what the “Day of the Lord” signifies and why it is described as “coming as a thief.” We will explore various prophetic Scriptures that help us understand the events and timing related to Peter’s statements. The most important takeaway for true believers and disciples of Jesus is this simple truth: there is no fear, dread, or anxiety in everything that prophecy reveals. As beloved children of God, we are prepared for what lies ahead. In contrast, the carnal Christian or the unbeliever has nothing but fear and dread to anticipate. The “Day of the Lord” brings both judgment and blessings. Although this encompasses an extended time period, it begins suddenly and unexpectedly—like a thief in the night. For followers of Jesus, Scripture provides abundant information that indicates this is a season of joyful expectation, not fear. Join us in worship and study as we delve deeper into these truths.

Sunday, November 10, 2024 – We are celebrating the greatest political comeback in our history and are thankful to God for granting this country a divine reprieve. We pray that this opportunity will be used to guide us in leading godly and biblical lives, both as a nation and individually. It is no coincidence that we are studying 2 Peter 3, which addresses the imminent return of Jesus and the presence of scoffers. We will explore Satan’s cunning strategy to employ deception, fostering a scoffing and mocking attitude that opposes the promises of God’s Holy Word, as we reflect on the prophetic time clock that is ticking down. Satan is working diligently to rob the church of the joy and anticipation that comes from prophecy being fulfilled, which signifies the soon return of Jesus. We need to learn to live joyfully through both life and death. As disciples of Jesus, there is nothing to fear or be anxious about. Jesus is coming to judge and reward; therefore, as believers, we are eagerly and patiently awaiting the Day of His return. Join us in worship and study…
